The Duangjitt is a beautiful resort set in the most luscious gardens. Its a 2 min walk to the beach and the hustle of beach road. Its about a 4 min walk to the OTop markets, so the position is great. The three swimming pools are fantastic, the main pool was closed when we were there, they were re tiling etc. Cant wait to go back and swim in it it is enormous and beautifully landscaped, a real asset to this hotel.
We stayed in the superior rooms which are plain but large and clean with terrific views of the main pool and the mountains in yhe background.The buffet breakfast is very good although I would have liked some bacon instead of ham. The beds and pillow are a bit hard but this is the same at most hotels in
Phuket.We found the staff to be very friendly helpful and effecient. The pool massages were great. Overall loved this place and would most definetely go back.

Arrived on a sunny afternoon in mid August, and that was pretty much the only sun the whole trip. The rest of the trip was overcast and rainy for the the next 3days. But even so all the deluxe rooms were fully booked, with only the superior rooms available. As soon as we checked in to the superior room, it smelt musty and was noisy as it was adjascent to the building site for new Delux rooms. We asked for a better room, and got one immediately but then no electricity. So we settled in for the third time and found it pretty much the same as the first and second one. The room is alright for the price, but can't stand the old-seen-better-times carpet (fail to understand why seaside hotels have carpet when wood or tiles are far more convenient and hygenic!!), the toilet is dinky and small and pretty standard. Had a nice balcony tho. Endured two nights in a superior, then we decided to upgrade to the deluxe room - which was way better but you pay more than twice for this room. Had a nice layout and was in Thai decor which was very nice. However we had a gripe because it didn't feel clean, ie sticky floors, food (I hope!) stains on the cloth in the lanai and on the chairs. Also the toliet cubicle was smallish and the water pressure for the rain shower could have been better. However strongly recommend the deluxe rooms for couples with children as the lanai can accomodate two small children and you can save money by not getting an extra bed. As for the hotel facilities - the third and best swimming pool was under construction and we literally missed the re opening by two days. The other two pools were ok, quite large and enough to cater for all the guests.The breakfast buffet was ok, with quite a spread but you have to be there before 10, of you may miss it completely. The overall place was like you are literally in a huge garden and it is only a 5minute walk to Patong beach so proximity was pretty good to access most of the areas either by foot or by motorbike. Highly recommend renting a motor bike as its heaps cheaper than getting the tuk tuks that rip you off. As for the resort, they are building more rooms and bungalows, so looks like it will get crowded later on. Hope they upgrade the superior rooms tho as for that price you can get better rooms elsewhere. But would go back to this hotel for the pools and deluxe rooms (hope they have cleaned up their act by then).

Phuket is an alright beach town, but have had enough of calls for Tuk Tuks, Massage and Suits at almost every block!! And I can rant on the blatant prostitution at every corner even in front of the 7eleven - but found out that these are not Phuket gals or shims, but Thais from other places giving Phuket a bad rap. But in the end no trade if there's no demand in the first place.
All in very commercialised with every fourth shop having the same products as the first!! There are some beautiful unspoilt spots like Kamala, Paradise & Surin beach and the bountiful seafood, which redeems the island somewhat. The food is not spectacular with most restaurants having the same fare, and tasting pretty much the same.

me and wife stayed in duangjitt for ten days in june. it's a wonderful place set in a landscaped area,really quiet and serene yet only a few minutes away from bustling patong. the staff are friendly, helpful and really genuine.the room was clean and had nearly everything you need.they have three pools and some with a pool bar, so even if you don't have plans to go out, you'll have fun just lounging on the pool. we recommend this hotel to families and couples alike

Duangjitt Resort

My family of 5, 2 adults and 2 teenagers stayed here April 2007.. We booked a pickup throught the hotel for 5 of us which cost 800bt, about $7 NZ each, the man was waiting and was good service. We found arrival very annoying and not easy or friendly. The booking in was OK but the rooms were not ready and as we arrived at 4pm we thought that our rooms would be ready as booking in time was 2pm. We had to wait nearly 2 hours no apologies or free drink. My wife and I stayed in a Duplex room extremely top quality, plasma TV in bedroom and lounge with a DVD player, so my Son and I watched our newly acquired DVD from the market, very lovely bedroom with huge bathroom and spa bath. It cost 6000 bt per night but my wife was happy. Our children stayed in deluxe rooms, at 1900 bt, which was the second to bottom rooms are were fine. There is a big walk from their rooms to ours and if you stay in a standard room a huge walk, 5 or more minutes to get to pools or breakfast. The breakfast was OK an OK choice but unfriendly staff. There are two restaurants slightly different food choices. No gym. The pools are excellent, two of them and one is right our side our Duplex room. Pool towels are in your room which was good. Good number of pool chairs. There is a bit of a walk to get out of the resort and the staff will not call you a tuk tuk, but they broke the rules and did calls us a tuk tuk a couple of times but once the boss was there and they deny ever doing it for us. Because of their nature I did not push this so we walked. Unlike Patong Merlin and Club Andaman which we have stayed at this resort is full of German, Swiss and Russian quests, the other resorts are full of Aussy and Kiwis, !! Over all we liked the resort and will stay there again. We would stay in the suite rooms which are very nice and are right by the pool but no plasma TV, we did have a great experience in getting from Duangjitt to club Andaman on Song Kart day the hotel staff at Duangjitt phoned Club Andaman who send a van for the trip or we would have got so wet with our bags, the lady in the trip booking office was extra nice and I tipped her and she was very grateful. The porters were also very helpful. Lastly I booked this hotel through agoda.com and that was excellent. BTW you pronounce this resort “one jeet”
