We stayed at this hotel in August 2008, coming from a similar priced hotel in Pattaya. (Which was fantastic) When we arrived we were very disappointed. Firstly it is opposite a number of massage parlours, which all have girls calling at you throughout the day. Even when you are in the pool they can still see you. Not so bad... more

The only place that I used my credit card in Thailand and it was compromised. Be very careful and pay by cash more

We stayed for three nights in Dec 07. Located 5 mins walk to the beach and 10 mins walk to Soi Bang-la the Blue Ocean Resort is ideally placed for exploring central Patong. The hotel is clean, we had a large room overlooking the pool and for the price we paid we were very pleased. We had a large double... more

First of all, it's important to say that I've arrived to Phuket after staying at Krabi, so I was quite spoiled by much more quiet and friendly environment, cheaper (well, yes) hotel prices and better service level. I chose the Blue Ocean Resort based on the reviews on this website and booked it through Hotels.com One thing you should know... more

Just returned from a twelve day stay. All the Blue Ocean staff were fantastic, very friendly & helpful. Hotel is in a great location, very convenient for shopping, beach, bars, restaurants, nightlife, markets etc. Would recommend Superior room, excellent value, "waterfall shower" very unique, although pool is not huge, it is perfect to cool down & relax in away from... more

The Blue Ocean is a budget priced small hotel and is reasonably appointed with average room size and quality considering the Low cost. Some travellers have critized this hotel but if you want twice the quality - you should expect to pay twice the price. Myself and family booked two rooms in the peak season. Everything in Phuket was expensive... more

To sum up how bad it was I stayed for a total of 40 minutes before walking out & getting another hotel. It started by not being given the correct room. The room I was given was filthy & had a dead cockroach on the floor. I was moved to another room, which I was told I would only have... more

Oh my Gosh! Where do I start??! Short version: ONE OF THE WORST HOTELS I HAVE EVEN VISITED - STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE - ANYWHERE ELSE. Long version: We chose this as a base to stay in Phuket for 1 night before being picked up the next day by the Elephant Hills Luxury Camp team at Khao Sok National Park. Needless... more

i stayed at the blue ocean for 5 days at the beginning of the month- what a little gem! i'd only found it by accident (was looking for the holiday inn) and was a little dubious at first but for the money it was spot on. it's in a quiet little corner of patong (a feat in itself) but only... more
