Sunset Beach Resort Phuket

We have stayed at this resort three times ,and have had marvellous service each time.We plan to return there next year also.It offers great accomodation and excellent amenities for both young and old and its distance from the hub bub of Patong itself allows a for a restfull time as well as being able to be in with the action as much as you want to be.

This resort is located at the northern end of Patong Beach which is very quiet and peaceful away from all the noisy bars, cheap guesthouses etc. of central Patong. There is a generous breakfast buffet which unfortunately is very crowded most mornings making it feel a bit competitive to get your breakfast. Lunches and dinners are reasonably priced at the hotel. The beach across the road from the hotel is a bit rocky so one must either use the hotel pool or take the hotel shuttle to the main part of Patong Beach. I stayed in the off season and received a great rate however in the peak season (Christmas/New Year) Phuket is very expensive and I am not sure at peak rates whether I would feel this hotel was such good value.

Free hotel bus takes you into Patong (4kms away) every half an hour thus you are away from the hype of Patong. Staff extremely helpful.

As long as you don't get a room facing the main road it is wonderfully quiet! The rooms (deluxe) are big & well appointed, the bathroom has a shower & a bath tub. A shuttle bus leaves every 1/2 hour to the centre of Patong, which is brilliant. Don't forget to memorise where they let you off (opp. "bookzine"). At night the location changes as they close the street to traffic, so go in at 6pm one day to see the new location. The staff do not speak very much english, but as long you do not have special requirements it's ok. Do not have a massage there as they don't know what massage means. I had oil and moisturiser spread on me and that was it. I went on a full day snorkeling trip to Khai Nui, Khai Nok and Khai Nai (3 Island). However, the coral is dead & there a only few fish to be seen, unless you are a strong swimmer & game to go out quite far. A guy who did this saw some live coral & 2 sharks. Also, the 2 deckchairs & umbrella cost 150 baht to rent on each island.

Loved this hotel nice and close to Patong with out being right in it. All the staff were great and most spoke resoniable english. Iwould certianly stay here again and would recomend it to anyone. See Sam down the alleyat tourist booking to get good prices on most trips he is very helpful

excellent restaurant, too

The room is excellent, clean, modern. The pillows are too thick though and they do not have normal size pillows in the hotel. The location is ok, they provide a free bus every half an hour to/from patong beach. The beach in front of the hotel is nice to lie on, but the water is shallow and there are only stones in the water, impossible to swim! maybe just to dip your feet. The restaurant food is good, but the service is not good. The people at the check-in desk are helpful.

The hotel room were over-booked as 3 of us previously booked a deluxe room each but end up only have a junior suite for 2 persons onthe 1st day. They gave us sea-view deluxe room on our 2nd and 3rd night stay. It cause a little bit of inconvenience to us to switch rooms around. The shuttle bus service is per trip in every 30 mins just the size is a bit smaller as there are hotel guests need to wait longer for following trip.

We stayed for 12 nights and really enjoyed it. The first night we were put in a sea view room and the traffic noise was very high. We requested to be moved and were to a pool view room, with no hassle. My only complaints were EXTREMELY slow and unreliable internet and disorganised staff at breakfast, otherwise the staff were very friendly and accomodating, and the hotel was very good. Thank you Sunset Beach, for a very enjoyable holiday.

We only stayed at the Sunset Beach Resort for 2 nights, but we wished we could have stayed longer. The service is very good, typical Thai friendliness and helpfullness. The room was spacious and very well maintained. The pool area was kept clean and the water was ideal. All in all, it was a wonderfull stay!!

This resort is located at a little way from the main area of patong so its nice and quite. They have a free shuttle bus the runs every hour until 9pm which is good unless you want to Party late.

Good hotel, with good accomodation , lovely pool. good breakfast buffet style, most staff friendly and helpful, breakfast staff a bit lazy. But out of town, you have to pay 250/400 baht round trip to the often rude/unpleasant taxi drivers each time you want to go out. bring a guest surcharge of 500 baht. beach across road poor, small and just off main road.

the staff were very friendly, we had a problem with the room when we got there,and as a result we got upgraded to a junior suite.for the first two days,the hotel had a shuttle bus free every half hour to Patong Beach till 9pm and only takes 5min.resturant was exellant and the pool and gardens were well kept. we would definetly stay there again
