Overview
The Dusit Thani is a well-known hotel in Phuket; it has been around for a long time and was recently renovated. Its elegant classic Thai architecture and decoration kept it relevant, offering a true Thai experience that modern hotels often lack. As you walk to the reception through a high-ceiling hallway, the sculpture and orchid flowers create a relaxing atmosphere. The friendly and soft-spoken staff leads you to an elegant reception where check-in is done smoothly and quickly.
The hotel’s main building is built along the beachfront, offering ocean views or even beach access to most rooms.
The Beach of Bang Tao
The beach in front of the hotel is wide, with beautiful white sand. The sea is clear and blue during the high season (December to May). There are plenty of beach massages and small local restaurants on the beach.
The rooms
We stayed in a beachfront room on the ground floor, which was superb. The terrace with two loungers was perfect for relaxing with the sea breeze and enjoying the sea view across the manicured lawn.
The room is spacious and well-decorated, with a great sitting area facing the beach through a floor-to-ceiling glass window. The bed is large and dangerously comfortable. The bathroom is well equipped and provides all the expected amenities from a 5-star hotel. The bathtub is large, and welcome to relax at the end of an exploration day. There are plenty of plugs to charge all your devices, and the espresso machine was a nice treat!
Restaurants and bars
There are five restaurants and bars at Dusit Laguna Phuket: La Trattoria, Laguna Cafe, Ruen Thai, Casuarina Beach Restaurant and the Horizon Lounge.
