Booked this as a last minute stopover for the ferry to Krabi. Well, what a fantastic find. If you appreciate a great view of the sunset and sunrise, look no further. Only opened 6 months ago, and we are the first to give it a review. Only 10 mins away from the hustle and bustle of Phucket Town, this tranquil hideaway gives you peace and quiet, fantastic Thai Food, lovely ambiance and really friendly staff. We popped into town to look around the Sunday Market and make a few purchases, then taxi back to photograph the sunset, have a great meal, washed down with a lovely bottle of French White Wine. What else could we ask for. I paid £32 for a king size room, jacuzzi tub on the balcony for 2 people. Would 100% return. Don't pass it by. We wish the owner a successful future with this amazing resort.

Location is fine and at first glance, it is an inexpensive well attended venue. However. Room: bed is comfortable and sheets are clean. If you look closer, the bathroom has not had a proper deep clean in a while. There is black mould on some joints. The cold/hot handle of the bassin ended up in coming loose in my hand at one point. The chamber maid never brought up hand towels after the first day. There is no iron provided and the one you do get if you ask for it did not work very well and the ironing board collapsed when I used it. Restaurant -Pool: the same music reel is playing non stop and comes up about 5 times in a loop throughout the day. Because of the hotel design, it can be heard everywhere you are. When you stay a couple of days, it is okay… when you stay a week, by day 4 you psychologically start to feel claustrophobic. The music is American R&B that did not particularly appeal - but it could have been worst. We tried to cancel our stay but were told that it was non refundable and had to either relinquish our money and go or stick with it. The food of the restaurant is very passable (overcooked spaghetti, burgers full of bones fragments for example). The breakfast was horrid. Turns out that the hotel franchise employed a Muslim chef so everything was tailored to a clientele that would require Halal food preparation. Even in the adult most hotels try to accommodate the diversity of their clientele. Here not a chance…The coffee was un-drinkable, same two fruits and same two cereals … after three days of the same limited choice, we ended up seeking breakfast and dinner elsewhere. Highly recommending the Green Bar across the road (speak English, very very good food, lovely people, lovely atmosphere - what a chance). Staff: young and depending on their personality can go from enthusiastic to « whatever ». Not impressed in general. Pool access room: they have a limited amount of rooms with balconies giving access to a small pool canal. Which means that everyone on their balconies can see you dipping. There is no privacy. In one part of the canals it is actually cut off from the rest of the pool system by a walkway and as far as we could see did not get « cleaned » by the automatic pool system. Which is plugged in by the main pool using an electric lead that runs across the patio (trip hazard)

Not sure where to start….. I totally agree with the previous writer location is not good it’s miles away from decent activities, surrounding area is far from what you would expect from your holiday destination, yet alone somewhere claiming to be five star. The worst part about this is, the hotel is not self contained so you MUST go out for your meals. Unfortunately we did not see a local restaurant which look clean enough for us to enjoy a meal therefore we travelled each time to Phuket central which cost us 200 B each way (that’s not much but add it to your stay) Breakfast: what can I say……if you are use to rice or pasta for breakfast then you are ok. If you are also use to cold fried eggs sitting under a useless burner, likely breading millions of bacteria then you will be fine too…. I appreciate warm/hot countries normally have issues with flies but these flies are invited to breakfast as barely anything is covered and nothing kept hot. The gym: what gym I would say….just a few equipment in a small room The room: we had a swim up room and a private pool room. The swim up pool was cleaned regularly, not sure if this was daily but I give them the benefit of the doubt. The private pool was cleaned once during our 10 day stay and that was because I asked them to clean it. It was filthy and I wanted to enjoy it but even after they cleaned it I was afraid we would be infected by the mass of black moss sitting on the tiles. One big plus for the rooms was that on the surface it was clean. Unfortunately on our last day after my daughter was charged because her hair product had soiled to bed linen we identified the duvet and pillows were soiled. (What you don’t see can’t hurt you) Staff: in general I would say they were very nice but the day they presented my daughter with the sheets telling her to pay for them I realised they were pretty much two faced. I get that, they need to be nice because they are running a business but meeting such split characters whilst on holiday is something I don’t like at all. I pay my money to enjoy myself and I do not appreciate unprofessional mismanagement while I am on holiday. The experience was so bad the manager could not even bring herself to say good bye on our departure, yet she was present every other days. This could have ruined our holiday but thankfully craft was our base hotel while we travelled around Thailand.

The house in this hotel picture is not where we live. It is said to be four bedrooms. And not all houses are hotels. But some of them are. The others are other people's houses and seem to be living as hotels. What we actually stayed at was what pool hotel next to this hotel. Ctrip can also find it. This hotel is very remote. It ’s not possible to rent a car. The reason why he chose this hotel was because he was one of the few hotels that opened in 17 years. The result was blinded. The actual pool hotel is also good. There is a swimming pool on the upper and lower floors. We belong to the beach. But the air conditioner on the second floor is too ridiculous. Almost killed us. Because I came back late, I was tired. My first night was a bedside sofa that got up from bed halfway through. I didn't sleep well all night, barely fainted in bed on the second night and didn't sleep well on the third night, but I couldn't go to the first floor to sleep on the sofa on the third night ... Disturbing. The hotel is ok overall. Air conditioning is really a nightmare. So that's why I insist on choosing a new hotel. The customer service is kind. Always smiling

Phuket Koh Sirey Hotel Guide

A first-time guide to Phuket: Things to Do, Transport & Tips

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, it’s a haven for all kinds of things to do. Patong Beach is the place to go for lively nightlife and water sports like jet skiing, while Kata Beach is a quieter spot, perfect for families and snorkeling. Karon and Kamala beaches are great for those looking to relax and enjoy the sea without the crowds.

There’s much to love about Phuket beyond its beautiful beaches. The island’s Old Town is full of colorful buildings that take you back to the days of tin barons, with markets and street food stalls. You can wander around the old town, enjoy fresh street food, or take a hike through the hills and waterfalls.😉


Getting To & Around Phuket

Though Phuket is an island, getting here is surprisingly easy. With direct flights from major cities around the world, you'll land at Phuket International Airport (HKT) in no time.

Located in the island’s northern part, it's Thailand's second busiest airport, offering frequent flights from Bangkok and direct connections to Asia, the Middle East, India, and Australia. You can also catch seasonal charter flights from Europe. The airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 for international flights and Terminal 2 for domestic and charter airlines, both linked by a convenient air-conditioned walkway.

Phuket International Airport is about 32 km (20 miles) from popular destinations like Patong and Phuket Town.

  • To get to these areas, you can take the Phuket Smart Bus (100 baht, approx. $3), which runs from the airport to the west coast beaches.
  • Alternatively, you can use a municipal airport bus (100 baht, approx. $3) to Phuket Town, or a minibus, which offers door-to-door service and is faster, though prices may vary.
  • Metered taxis (500 baht, approx. $15) and limousine taxis (more expensive) are also available directly at the airport.

Where to Stay in Phuket

Where to Stay in Phuket🌴

Patong Beach: Phuket's most famous stretch of sand! 3km of beach with jet-skis, parasailing, and beach chairs everywhere. The water's not the clearest but the vibe is unbeatable. Behind the beach, Bangla Road comes alive at night with bars and clubs. Great street food at Malin Plaza night market, and Jungceylon mall for shopping and air-con breaks. Perfect for first-timers who want action!

Kata Beach: My favorite all-rounder! Crystal clear water (amazing for snorkeling around the rocks), surfing waves from May-October, and the most gorgeous sunset views. More chilled than Patong but still plenty happening. Don't miss the viewpoint at Kata Noi - you can see all three bays! Lots of great Thai restaurants and beach bars without the crazy prices.

Nai Harn Beach: The local's secret! Stunning blue water and the island's best snorkeling spot (tons of fish around the rocky ends). Great for sailing - you can rent small catamarans right on the beach. The hills around here are gorgeous for sunset walks, and there's an amazing fresh seafood market nearby where locals eat. Way quieter than the north beaches.

Surin Beach: The fancy one! Super clear water, perfect for swimming, with million-dollar villas dotting the hills. Famous for beach clubs (check out Catch!) and high-end seafood restaurants. Great spot for stand-up paddleboarding when the sea's calm. Close to Boat Avenue for boutique shopping and cute cafes.

Top Things to Do in Phuket

Top Things to Do in Phuket

  • Patong Beach You can jump into some parasailing or jet-skiing if you want that thrill, or just chill with a cold beer while you watch the sunset. If you’re feeling bold, head over to the Bangla Road area, where the nightlife comes at you like a truck—bars, clubs, you name it.
  • Phuket Old Town While the beaches might steal the show, don’t sleep on Phuket Old Town. Walking through the streets here feels like stepping into another era with its Sino-Portuguese architecture, colorful buildings, and amazing street art. Make sure to stop by the local cafes and check out the unique markets for some quirky souvenirs.

  • Racha Yai Island If you’re all about diving or snorkeling, Racha Yai Island is your ideal place. Seriously, this place has some of the clearest water I've ever seen. The coral reefs are pretty rad, and there's a ton of marine life swimming around. Take a speedboat out, grab your gear, and let the island's beauty do the rest.
  • Phi Phi Islands Picture clear blue waters, towering limestone cliffs, and beaches straight out of a postcard. You can catch a boat from Phuket and spend the day hopping between islands—snorkeling, sunbathing, and just taking in the beauty of it all.

When Should I Go to Phuket?

Phuket has two main seasons: dry and wet. If you're looking to escape winter, the best time to visit is late December to mid-April. February and March are the driest months, with daytime highs reaching 36°C (95°F)—perfect for those who want to soak up the sun. However, this is also when prices for hotels can be at their highest.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds and don't mind a bit of unpredictability with the weather, the shoulder season from late April to early June is a good option. While the rainy season officially starts in June, you can still get plenty of sunny days during this period. From September to mid-October, the island sees the heaviest rains, with storms often making diving difficult. But with lower humidity and fewer tourists, it can still be a great time to visit if you're looking for a quieter experience.
