Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort

We stayed here for 5 nights of out holiday around Thailand. Location is perfect for what we needed. The pools were amazing, we spent most evenings just soaking in them once back from our fun filled days out. The room was absolutely perfect as we had an interlinked veranda with our friends in the next room, very nice touch.
I can't comment on the food as we ate out around the corner in the Italian restaurant and got out pastry breakfast from the seven eleven down the street.
The staff were very polite and helpful in our stay and always welcomed us with happy faces. We will definitely be staying here again that's for sure.

Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort - Cost-effective Ocean View Resort

Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort is a 3 star resort located in the Karon Beach area south of Phuket, with a total of 240 rooms. As the resort is built on a hillside, the deluxe rooms except the supereier room have an ocean view.

Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort is a long-established resort, so there are differences in room entrances and balconies compared to recently built hotels. Nevertheless, it is popular with travelers because of its low hotel rates and good views.

Best Western Phuket Ocean Resort is located at the entrance to the Karon Beach area from Patong Beach, 100 meters from the hotel entrance, 7 Eleven, 500 meters from Karon Beach, 300 meters from the commercial area, and 500 meters from the Karon central commercial area.

For the off-season price, an amazing value. Rooms are a good size, you get a big balcony with a view, the breakfast buffet is good enough for only 300 baht, location is good, the service and room cleaning is good, and there’s two pools.

There’s a ton of stairs, which I actually count as an upside, because I like to get my steps in. But some people may not like that.

The gym is okay for an upper body workout only, and the barbell weights are non-Olympic, weird sizes, and come loose while you’re using them due to having standard thread screwing end-caps.

Two downsides:

The pools are over-chlorinated, which affected my ability to swim laps, and it’s an ongoing constant thing, not just a “they over chlorinated one day” thing.

One of the 8 days we stayed, a bunch of winged ants or skinny moths came up through one of the bathroom drains, and were all over the bathroom. It wasn’t a big deal, we just made sure to keep the door closed so they didn’t get in the room.

Overall, I’d stay again. Nice enough, good enough, and a great price.

Great experience and awesome stay. Rooms are big with king size bed, sofas and balcony. A/C is super potent! Breakfast is great with plenty of options both Asian and western. They have 3 pools with lots of chairs and one pool bar. It’s a great place to relax after a busy day at the beach. The location is perfect just minutes from the beach and plenty of shopping and dining options. I highly recommend.

Love staying here. This was our third time. Great location with the proximity to Karon Beach and the main street. Restaurant and staff cant be faulted. Rooms could do with a bit of a spruce up though. Coat of paint and new bathrooms wouldn't hurt. No real complaints due to the price point though.

Excellent choice for a two week stay.
Clean and modern rooms.
Good AC, safety box and fridge in the room.
Excellent WiFi and TV.

Very good facilities. Several pools with good sun beds. Gym was actually more than adequate.

Restaurant is a bit crowded for breakfast but the staff is friendly and very quick to fill up the buffet.

Only drawback is that the staff doesn’t really enforce rules around the pool.
It’s very annoying with people smoking weed around the pool.

Also this hotel is mainly Russians (although the seems to have realized that the entire world hates them so they actually keep a low profile).

Amazing Hotel. The people that work here are very very nice, it is very clean here and the breakfast buffet is amazing. The rooms have a nice balcony with a beautiful view (picture included) and the three pools are great to swim in. It's very easy to get to the beach and there are a lot of restaurants nearby (but the restaurant in the hotel itself is very good, too!) . Highly recommend!

Very good experience staying here.
The location is central, so you can travel to a lot of lactations on the island.
Breakfast was fine, maybe a little bit more Choice would be fine.

The room got cleaned every day by the sweet ladies that clean the hotel.

Robert and Efron made our vacation an amazing experience. Every time when we walked past them in the hotel they greeted us and asked how our day was going. They also gave us advise for good spots to visit.

We recommend to stay in this hotel if you feel that service is important.

Beautiful resort and perfect location. I have nothing bad to say about my visit here. I visited this resort in September and was always treated professionally with kindness. The food served at this resort was of great quality. The staff were friendly and I’ve had numerous encounters with the restaurant staff during my visit and it was always pleasant. The staff present during the serving of breakfast even remembered our usual orders and this shows how they pay attention to their guests. I wish I could recall all their names as they all deserve recognition for their efforts in making our stay pleasant.
Robert and Efren were always helpful and professional as well and always ensured that our orders were handled with quality and took their time to get to know us as guests in a professional manner to ensure we get the highest quality of assistance at the restaurant. I have nothing bad to say about my visit and would definitely love to visit this resort again. It was my second time in Phuket but also my most pleasant experience. Both stays were of the highest quality, but this resort made us feel at home, away from home.
