Stunning Views from Room

During my stay in a Grand Deluxe room, I was mesmerized by the amazing views of the city, sea, and mountains from my balcony. The spacious room was immaculate and the overall design was modern. The only downside was that it was a bit of a hike to get to, but it was worth it for that view!

Amazing Swimming Pools

The hotel's multiple infinity pools were a perfect escape after a long day in the sun. They were well-maintained and provided a great atmosphere to relax in. I spent hours enjoying the sun and cooling off in the water.

Charming Sky Bar Experience

The 7th Heaven Sky Bar was an unexpected gem with stunning views of Kata Beach. Enjoying cocktails while watching the sunset was a highlight of my stay. It was relatively quiet, which made for a peaceful atmosphere to unwind and enjoy the evening.

I had an interesting experience at this hotel. While the location is amazing, just a short walk to the beach and restaurants, I faced a few bumps during my stay. The room I got had a beautiful view, but it wasn't as clean as I expected, and the long commute to my room was tiring. The staff had their moments, with some being very helpful while others were less engaging. Overall, there were some highlights, but a bit more attention to detail would make it much better.

This hotel is a hidden gem on a hillside, offering central access to the beach and local eateries. The rooms were spacious and well-designed, providing beautiful views along with some luxurious touches like a jacuzzi on the balcony. The staff was lovely and provided great service, although there were some issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. Overall, it's a nice spot, but if you have mobility issues, the steep hill may be tricky.

I had a wonderful stay at Sugar Palm Grand Hillside. The hotel offers fantastic views, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Although the hike to the higher rooms can be a challenge, it’s well worth it for the stunning scenery. The breakfast was good, but I feel it could be a bit more varied. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, but there's room for improvement in the dining options and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Staying at this hotel was one of the highlights of my trip to Phuket! The views from the balcony were breathtaking, and the location was serene yet close to Kata beach and local restaurants. The clean and comfortable rooms made our stay very pleasant. However, the steep walkways can be quite a workout, and getting to the rooftop bar with its amazing views would be better if it were open more often. Overall, a fantastic place that offers great value for money.
