As we are once again organising a trip to Phuket, I realise I never wrote up the review I was intending to. We have been to Thaliand many times, and to Phuket twice. On our second stay in Phuket, October 2008, we stayed at the Best Western Premier Bangtao Beach and Resort. At that time the prices were quite high,... more

The hotel is quite away from Phuket downtown (40 minutes driving) but is right on the Bangtao beach. We had the ground floor units by one of the pools, and the pools are right by the beach. The beach is quite and clean. However, the parking spaces are very limited (less than 20 cars). The food at the hotel was... more

Looking for a quiet beachfront hotel is actually more difficult on Phuket Island than you might imagine. In places like Patong, Karon and other areas accommodation is separated from the beach by a major road. However, on the west and north of the Island there seem to be many more options like BW. At Bang Thao BW is,along with Sunwing,... more

The staff are extremely rude at this hotel. They cater for families with small children. The rooms are terrible. We were put in the bungalows which was infested with ants. The toilet roll even had ants crawling around. The towels were full of ants. When asked if we could move to the main hotel, we told that they were fully... more

Currently staying at this hotel and thought I would check the reviews to see whether I was getting a rough deal. I concur with a lot of the comments, the staff are not friendly and do not communicate well. Generally you are greated with a blank expression. Our bungalow did not appear to have been aired since the previous guests,... more

A good quality hotel on the best beach in Phuket if you're looking for something beautiful and relatively unspoilt. The beach is a crescent of, perhaps, three miles which slopes gently into turquoise sea and, even in peak season when I went (Feb 08), was never overcrowded. The hotel has beautiful gardens and pools and two restaurants which overlook the... more

Bangtao Beach is probably the best on the Island and this Hotel is situated on the best part of that beach! Fine, soft sand and no steep hills down to the water's edge like at the £250.00 per person per night hotels further up the beach! The Best Western Premier does NOT feature in any UK Tour Operators programme except... more
