Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Review
Contents
Holiday Inn Resort Phuket is an excellent hotel to get the best of many sides of Patong Beach: easy access to the beach across the street, shopping, dining and, of course, the famous nightlife. And even though you are very close to the hectic life of Patong, the resort is surprisingly quiet.
Holiday Inn Phuket has been a success story for a long time, and the team ensures it stays this way year after year. Overseas travellers don’t usually associate the brand ‘Holiday Inn’ with luxury island resorts, but here, they are in for a pleasant surprise.
But it takes more than an excellent location to get it right in Phuket: many resorts along the beach road are not as popular. So let us go through what we liked.
The Location
Holiday Inn Resort Phuket’s location is strategic and unique. The hotel has three entrances: one facing the beach (you must cross the street to reach the beach) and two on the shopping streets. OTOP is a famous night bazaar just behind Holiday Inn, and on the side are Hooters and Hard Rock Cafe.
The rooms
There are two wings to choose from: the ‘Main Wing’, quite traditional in design and the ‘Busakorn Wing’, more luxurious with a modern Thai feel.
Pool access rooms are the best, tranquil and with a vast shared pool, not a ‘bathtub’. Most rooms are large and renovated regularly, nicely fitted with more amenities than you need.
Facilities
You can enjoy five swimming pools: Two huge main pools, two smaller ones for the guests of pool access rooms, and another large one dedicated to kids! We always enjoyed the vast square Busakorn pool and its lovely pool bar.
A great spa with a vast list of treatments, massages and facials.
A dedicated kids club, a bit out of the main areas, so other guests will not be disturbed, and kids get tons of activities.
Restaurants and bars
Four excellent restaurants, one of them, ‘Sam Steak House’, has made its name long ago for serving… well, great steaks! (and an excellent Irish coffee, you should not underestimate if you need to drive!). All restaurants have well-supplied wine cellars. The breakfast is perfect, and if you are like us, it often defines how the day starts!
Summary
Holiday Inn Resort Phuket is an excellent choice for travellers seeking a combination of relaxation and excitement. With its strategic location, guests have easy access to Patong Beach, shopping, dining, and nightlife, while still enjoying a surprisingly peaceful stay. The resort’s two wings provide guests with options to choose from, and the five swimming pools, spa, kids club, and four restaurants cater to various needs. The hotel’s rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities.
One of the keys to Holiday Inn Resort Phuket’s popularity is the staff, who is genuinely caring. Many of them have been there for a very long time. No surprise there seem to be so many returning guests. So if your choice is to be in the centre of everything, you can’t find it better than the Holiday Inn.
