The Mooring Resort

The Mooring is the perfect combination of relaxed simplicity, providing the most relaxing of stays. Whilst delivering all the luxury and stylish comforts you’d expect from a high end resort. You are conveniently close to the city, whilst being surrounded by lush greenery and right on the beautiful calm Ao Yon bay beach. Without all the unnecessary frills, the staff are attentive and kindly facilitate you enjoying and maximising all the region has to offer.
It’s incredibly safe and quiet with limited road access. We cheaply hired the resort bike by the day to get around, which was very tidy/capable and all too convenient!
We had a fantastic stay at the Mooring and could not recommend it enough.

We stayed here for two nights while on a day sailing course. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean.
The ground floor rooms face directly onto the lovely clean cool pool while the upstairs rooms have an amazing view of the bay and the sea.
There is a private beach which is well-furnished with sun loungers and swing seats but also perfectly shaded with beautiful trees, so can be cool even in the middle of the day.
The staff are super helpful and friendly, loaned us the office plug adaptor when ours didn't work.
It is a small quiet resort, which we loved, no loud music into the night, no big drinking groups, just small, quiet and peaceful. A perfect way to unwind and relax.
They don't have a restaurant however, as they are right next door to The Cove, which has a fantastic restaurant, we ate all our meals there and didn't have to leave the resort. The views across the bay are stunning. I would highly recommend this resort and will definitely return should I get the opportunity.

Our last stop on our Pet Friendly Phuket roadtrip was The Mooring down in Panwa. This turned out to be our favourite hotel of the trip. We definitely saved the best to last. We originally booked 1 night but we loved it so much we stayed an extra night.

The great thing about The Mooring was that it is pet friendly there was no pet policy. There were absolutely no restrictions at all nor was there any pet fee. I believe if you have a larger dog over 20kg there was a pet fee but it was quite small at around 300 baht per night. Dogs were allowed everywhere in the hotel (apart from inside the swimming pool of course), in the room, at the pool area and on the beach. They were also allowed to be left unattended in the room as long as they didn’t cause disruption to other guests. But when they are allowed everywhere in the hotel there’s no need to leave them unattended.

There was no restaurant in the hotel itself but next door they have The Cove restaurant. It’s literally a few seconds walk. So it actually felt like it was part of the hotel anyway. They are also super pet friendly and we had all of our meals here together. The menu is extensive with lots of choice so even though we ate every meal here we didn’t get bored. Price is a bit on the higher side but it’s a great setting overlooking the beach and the sea. The food is great, staff is nice and friendly so it’s definitely worth it.

The hotel itself was great. A small boutique hotel, just what we love. Rooms are split between rooms next to the pool and then rooms higher up the hill which have better views of the sea. The first night we stayed in a garden room and then moved up to a sea view room the next night. Be warned, there are a lot of steps up to the sea view rooms! But how else are you going to get such an amazing view?

The rooms were lovely and modern and tastefully decorated. They had a nice beach vibe with wooden furniture and a white theme throughout. Both rooms were very spacious with a sitting area where you could look out of the window at the view (seaview room). Or a small terrace with seats to sit out (garden room). Both rooms were as nice as each other so it would just depend on whether you wanted a view with the stairs or a terrace and no stairs.

The pool was great for the humans to keep up their exercising by swimming lengths. Being based directly on the beach also meant we could take nice walks along the beach and plod along in the sea. There were no soi dogs on the beach either so it was perfect. There were a few other people walking their dogs so I got to sniff some butts which I loved!

The Mooring was a great truly pet friendly Phuket hotel. We loved it so much we extended our stay and will definitely come back again if we are in the area.

Top marks scored by The Mooring. Thank you so much for such a great stay!

Very cozy and quiet hotel, with friendly staff. There is no breakfast or hotels, cafe. There is no gym, but small nice pool. You can have breakfast in the cafe, that is 5 meters away, on the beach. There is free transfer for couple cafes. Central Phuket is 30 minutes away, if you need shopping and fancy food. Anyway - it’s not a place to have parties, living night life! See is really really shallow, not comfortable to swim.

Amazing hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket. Lovely bungalows at the beach with nice areas to relax and great views. We had a room at the beach, which was so worth it. Our kids loved the pool, the swings and all the toys at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast at the Cove next door. We hope to come back here one day!

Staying 7 nights, 2 nights to go and would not go anywhere else. Simply stunning. Nice restaurant next door but $$$ for Thailand and the local area. 2 minutes in a taxi and food is 1/4 the price and better!

Staff here are wonderful, pool quiet and great size, it is so quiet and safe.

Hats off the the owner.

Will be back.

This is a fantastic resort. The location is divine. The rooms are spacious and well designed. There is thought for ease and comfort. Honestly the best place I have ever stayed in. Wonderful staff and the owner is most helpful. We will definitely come back to Phuket just to stay here.
