Top Ko Racha Yai Hotel Reviews

Avista Grande Phuket Karon - MGallery

10/10 Excellent

"Very happy with our experience. Definitely will recommend and return to this hotel"

Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Overall rating: 7.7/10 ⭐ A very enjoyable family stay at Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort. We had a lovely ocean-view room, which really added to the experience, and the check-in process was smooth, efficient and welcoming. The resort itself is spacious, green and relaxing, with excellent pool areas and a very convenient location close to Karon Beach. It has the feel of a proper full-scale resort, with plenty of space for families to unwind. The staff were courteous and helpful throughout our stay, and the property was generally well maintained and comfortable. The only point to keep in mind is that the resort is quite large, so there can be a fair amount of walking between different areas. Overall, though, we had a very pleasant stay. Recommended for families looking for a spacious beachfront-style resort experience in Karon."

Novotel Phuket Kata Avista Resort And Spa

8/10 Good

"The hotel was fantastic, and overall, we had a very good experience. The only major downside was the hill you have to walk up to get to the market. It was extremely steep, almost like a 90-degree incline, which can be very difficult, especially for families and elderly guests. The hotel should consider providing some kind of transport facility, such as a tuk-tuk or another convenient option, to take guests to the market. If they provided this service, it would make the hotel experience almost perfect. Regarding the restaurant, I think there should be more variety in the food. We stayed for 11 nights, and towards the end of our stay, we were honestly getting fed up with having the same food repeatedly. Changing the menu at least once a week or offering more variety would make a big difference. One more thing to mention bar timings should be increased in the night. It was only till 11 and starts at 12 in noon Overall, though, it was a fantastic hotel and we really enjoyed our stay."

Thavorn Palm Beach Resort Phuket

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is essentially a magical containment zone for tiny, high-energy humans. Between the endless activities, the pools, and the water slides, Muay Thai class, they somehow found the secret to completely draining my kids' batteries. The staff here deserve a medal, a pay raise, and possibly a stiff drink. They were first-class, kind, and possessed a level of patience that is deeply impressive (and frankly, a little terrifying). Absolute legends, every single one of them. They made our stay so incredibly enjoyable that I had to be dragged to the taxi kicking and screaming—and for once, it was me throwing the tantrum, not the kids. Highly recommend!"
