What are the best hotels in Phuket?
Here are the best hotels in Phuket we love the most. We stayed at all those hotels without informing in advance to get a real experience, and by doing so, we experienced them just like any of you would and would recommend any without hesitation. Selecting a great hotel in Phuket is part of your holiday and will be a memory you will bring back home. Many are near the sea and the beach because this is one of the most important selection factors when booking accommodation. These hotels might not appear cheap, but they all have personality, high service quality, and unique features and offer a great experience.
