Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort

We’ve just returned from 2 weeks in Thailand and stayed at BW Phuket Ocean Resort for 9 days, we loved every second! This hotel is a little gem, the staff are all so friendly and helpful they really couldn’t do enough for you, they make this place very special! The hotel is centrally located and easy to get around, close to beach and local bars, restaurants etc we got a tuk tuk into Patong which was 300THB each way. There are 3 pools, 2 larger ones and a smaller one on the third floor, all with plenty of comfy loungers and parasols, towels also provided by hotel (towel card system to collect from hut each day) the hotel is set in lush greenery and spread over 5 floors (some of the steps are quite steep so no good for people with mobility problems) there is a lift from the 3rd floor only and staff help with luggage so we personally didn’t have any difficulties but it could be an issue for some? The rooms are clean, spacious and modern with all the facilities you need, including great AC, fridge, freezer, (free water) tea & coffee making facilities, TV, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries etc! Large patio area with fabulous views of the beach, loved watching the sunsets! The breakfast was very nice (albeit a bit busy on occasions!) lots of choice and service always with a smile (loved the coffee man!!) we also ordered room service on a couple of occasions which was well presented and delicious! We had a meal in the main restaurant on our last night and it was one of the nicest meals I’ve had in a long time, the crispy spring rolls were divine!! All in all I would totally recommend this hotel and would return in a heartbeat, thank you less

Arrived here on 5th Nov 2019 for 9 nights, so far so good, lots to see and do plus local strip around corner for shops, pubs, restaurants, street food and general holiday goods. The Ocean resort is just right for us, not too far from most things and you can see the Big Budda on top of jungle/rainforest standing at 45 metres tall, free to get in and cab fare was 1000 Thai baht, (UK about £25) for that he waited for us for about 2hrs as previously agreed then brought us back, we were happy with the price. Most cab journeys are fixed price but if you use a regular guy like we did were able to haggle abit. Rooms at hotel have ice cold air con but watch out for mozzies, they had lunch on my legs b4 had chance to put mozzy repelent on but generally a great spot. We,ve been to see Big Budda, been to several temples, Kata beach is a must...lots of markets, going to Elephant sactuary on the 13th (can't wait), and island hopping on 14th so you will have a great time time here, big question people ask is whether better to buy currency in UK (Home) or over here, well you do get more here but the difference is marginal, most people here pay cash but card is always accepted, not sure about cab payments though, come to Karon Beach resort, you won't regret it. Ca'nt wait to come back again!! Happy Holidays all 😎 less

Just got back from staying me & my wife,it’s a fantastic place,lovelly setting,immaculately clean through out,all the staff are very friendly,breakfast was fantastic too,it’s central to everything to,ie the town,beach,kata,patong,will be definitely coming back has we both loved the place,this was the view from our room less

The food, the service, the rooms were absolutely brilliant. Everywhere was spotless and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Beautiful views and the gardens are so pretty. A small walk to the beach and the best air conditioning that I have ever experienced in a hotel. If I had to pick fault it would be very minor, the tv channels were poor and the bar in reception could have been a bit bigger. Otherwise you cannot go wrong staying here. less

We recently stayed here for 8 nights as a family of 5. It is situated opposite Karon beach & very close to shopping opportunities. There were 3 large swimming pools just perfect for cooling off & relaxing. The rooms were very spacious & cleaned spotlessly every day. The staff were absolutely beautiful. At times there were communication problems but it just added to the adventure. less
