Aochalong Villa Resort & Spa - SHA Plus

The area of Phuket is very large and hard to pick a location to stay. We wanted to stay closer to where our friends live, unfortunately it was still 30 minutes away, the traffic to get around anywhere in Phuket is horrible. The hotel is great, we stayed in our own private cottage near the pool and beach. The room was divided into 2 sections where there a large bed and the lower sunken part had the bed for our child. The place had lots of storage space, and the washrooms were good. The pool is very lovely. They have two pools - one pool for the people who stay in the main hotel area and one of the people who are staying in the private cottage and its large and wonderful. The beach is a disappointing as its not the hotel's fault but the tide goes out in Phuket in the morning so depending where you stay - you wont have a swimmable beach at the hotel unless you travel to a beach during the day for swim. The water slowly comes in the late afternoon.. its fun for us to walk on it and collect shells etc. Its closer to the Pier but not walkable as the traffic is horrible so you'll need a tuk-tuk or taxi to get to the main pier. Everything else in the Phuket you must take a tuk-tuk or taxi as everything is a distance away. We had dinner one night, unfortunately there is not much variety in the dinner menu. The breakfast is good. Next time I will stay in the old Phuket town which is really pretty like Singapore old town, totally a cool place to walk around.

Beautiful garden pools and villas. Very clean , the staff exceptionally helpful and good. The airconditioning broke once, they fixed it immiediately. Very good food, good chefs, attentive waiters. Even the guest were nice. There is a free shuttle to KATA beach 3 times a week.

It had been low season for tourism for some time due to the pandemic, and we arrived just after the entry restrictions had been relaxed. Nevertheless the hotel did not cut back on their high standards and quality. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They always did their best to provide good service and food at the restaurant. The pools were well maintained and the room service was excellent. If only all hotels were managed this way!

Beautiful location right on the water in Chalong bay. Very peaceful and quiet area. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Free tuktuk to the main road on request (only 700 metres) and very good prices for taxis if you want to go further. Rooms are large and comfortable. The bed was the standard Thai style slab of concrete but they have a thick mattress topper to make it a bit nicer.

Lovely quiet spot on the beach with 2 pools. Staff were very helpful and the food at the restaurant was excellent. The is a cafe about 500 MTRS away that does an all day breakfast with excellent coffee.
