The Westin Siray Bay Resort Review
The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket is a 5-star hotel built on the hillside of Koh Sirey, a tiny island on the east coast of Phuket island, not far from Phuket Town. From your balcony, at night, you will be surprised how close the city lights of Phuket Town are! I never thought I would be standing in a trendy beach resort in Phuket while looking at Phuket Island.
‘Koh’ means ‘island’ in Thai, but if you look at the satellite view below, you’ll realise it’s more a cape separated from the main island of Phuket by a small mangrove river. ‘Sirey’, as in its original spelling, is the bay’s name. With three trendy restaurants, a deli, an extensive spa, three infinity pools, a kids club, beach water sports and fitness, this is one of the newest integrated resorts in Phuket.

The Westin Siray Bay Resort is somehow close to town, yet it feels peaceful and remote, the best of both worlds. You don’t have to go anywhere if you prefer to spend most of your holiday away from Phuket; everything you need is right here. (If you want to try local food, some excellent seafood restaurants are nearby, but don’t tell anyone I told you about that).
If you decide to go and explore, you are much closer to Patong, Kata and Karon beaches than you would be in Bang Tao or Nai Harn, and all the charms of Old Phuket Town are just minutes away.
The Rooms
The rooms are more spacious than most hotels within this price range. All have striking sea views of Phuket Island in the background and the many tiny islets around. The ones with private pools or even pool villas are the best, but they come at a higher price, so our deluxe room is perfect. We appreciated the oversized bathroom; a hotel room in Tokyo or Paris might fit in it!
The bedroom is also large and nicely designed, with plenty of comfortable seating inside and an expansive balcony that made room service tempting. The working station is large and well-fitted and the large LCD TV offered plenty of local and international channels.

Summary
The Westin Siray Bay Resort might not have the large white sandy beach of Patong or Nai Harn Beach, but it has the views and the style. With so many facilities and excellent rates, this resort is a great compromise to explore Phuket from a central point or relax and enjoy the ocean.
Note that as the resort is on a hillside, there is a bit of walking to go to your room, but buggies are always ready to pick you up or drop you at your place in record time.
