We have a wonderful time at this hotel. The hotel staff are very friendly. The rooms are a little tired but it adds to the charm of the place. The beach is on of the best I have ever seen and I am very well travelled. Clear water, shallow, white sand....also it's more or less a private beach - it... More

A little off the beaten track, this hotel was quiet and had nice views of the water. However, the fact that it was off the beaten track made it hard to leave the property for activities and dining (we did splurge for our anniversary dinner, with the help of the guest services manager who arranged a car for us, but...

In October 2011 my husband and I decided to do a return to The Royal Phuket Yacht Club. We had last been there 11 years ago. We reserved the ocean front deluxe suite over the Internet and it was a smooth booking process. We had forgotten about the levels that this hotel is situated on and were given a room... More

We wanted to get away from the craziness of Phuket and stayed 3 nights at the Royal Phuket Yacht Club. They hotel was great. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the view was breathtaking ( I think we had room 509). The area was ehhhh, but I'm sure it's much better than other places in Phuket. It was... More

Great hotel on one of the best locations on this increasingly crowded island. If you don't care for the glass, granite and steel look of the last ten years, but prefer reassuring terracotta tiles and wood, this may be the place for you. True, it could do with a paint job and a bit of touching up, and admitted the... More

The hotel is really nice but in need of a bit of modernization, however quality price is very good. The breakfast was excellent and so the views for the room! If you ever go there have a massage in the amazing spa with beach views!! More

We in our family stayed at this hotel in 2008 and did return this year, 2011, in december. It's a lovely hotel, situated on a perfect spot and the staff are doing their best to make the stays memorable. However this year the welcome was much simpler. The former time we were welcomed and the staff presented the hotel and... More

While the location is indeed one of the most beautiful iin Phuket , the hotel ( once a Mandarin Oriental) has gone completely downhill and the current owner doesn t do any effort reagarding maintenance or staff training. Rooms have a big terrace with a nice views on the bay but need redoing /repainting as everything is run down ,... More
