Top Big Buddha Hotel Reviews

Chanalai Romantica Resort Kata Beach - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Went near the end of low season for a week and had a very good experience. Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, albeit dated. Staff were very friendly, food was very good (breakfast buffet a great value). Pool was great for lounging around and atmosphere was quiet (no kids or partiers). The gym was disappointing - cardio machines broken or not working well, just a few dumbbells and a bench, no towels or way to wipe the bench or mat. I was glad to not have a pool side room as people could swim almost right up to your sliding door and it wouldn’t feel private at all. Personal preference though. The location is close to the beach but still a bit of a walk (~8 minutes) to get around the massive Club Med across the street."

Paradox Resort Phuket

8/10 Good

"A bit dated accomodation, no power points beside the beds and pretty dark generally. A bit of wear and tear throughout the bathroom. Shower took a very long time to run hot (5 minutes). Breakfast great and staff lovely. Booking airport transfer was a bit messy by email, abit of repeating myself and payment links that expire after an hour. Makes it difficult to arrange whilst travelling."

Chanalai Flora Resort, Kata Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Warmly welcomed by staff, greeted with a cold flannel to wipe the sweat away and a fan put right in front of us. Kids enjoyed the pool and pool activities. Handy to beach , shops and laundry across the road. Very helpful friendly staff. So far this has been or best of 3 different hotels around phuket"

Novotel Phuket Kata Avista Resort And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"First I want to say beautiful resort amazing spa and customer service was amazing as well . However when i purchased all inclusive I was expecting all inclusive 24/7 nope not here. Food stops and alcohol starts at a certain time not all day. I think they should put that in description for the amenities. Other than that staff was helpful."

The Palmery Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff were lovely, they were all super nice and helpful. The room we stayed in was a suite. It was a little old and dated but very clean. The bed was very firm. I think if we stayed again we would get a deluxe room because they are much newer and look a lot nicer. The pool was nice but there were a bunch of tiles missing in one spot on the floor. The food at breakfast was very good and the chef making eggs was awesome he made the best eggs. The bell boy was very helpful taking bags to and from our room. Over all we really enjoyed our stay here and the couple little things would not stop us from returning. We would recommend this place to anyone. The price and the service and cleanliness was very good. Thank you. Kab khan krab"
