The Yama Hotel Phuket

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay . Quiet and tranquil . Although the hotel provides a shuttle it is too far from the beach and activities. We stayed there 5 nights and loved it. Breakfast is healthy. The pool fabulous . The people extraordinary : ma and fon in the dining area very kind and helpful.

Blue Palm Residence Kata

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The facilities were excellent, and everything was always clean and well maintained. A great place to relax and enjoy a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!"

The View Phuket by RESAVA

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning property with magnificent views. If you're looking for luxury and somewhere private to feel like home, look no further. Situated at top of the mountains nestled within private spaces overlooking the beautiful sea and crab island, this place is remarkable and just far and close enough from all the tourist and activities. Loved coming home every evening to the quiet after being out and about. Be cautious for those who are not driving or relying on taxi as the slope to get to the property is really steep and not everyone will be able to walk or drive it. Definitely recommend and likely to return."

CC's Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for a yoga course and a couple of extra days. The hotel is clean and staff are all very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be staying again. "

Baan Saint Tropez Villas Kata Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay in Kata was made even more special from the wonderful staff. The Hotel is just far enough away but close enough to the action of Kata. Will be staying here again. Especially if Lita is still looking after your stay. "
