Mom Tri's Villa Royale

Pros: 1. Great location: Just a one-minute walk to Kata Noi Beach. It's less crowded with beautiful ocean views. Set back from the main road, making it very quiet at night. A 300-meter walk to the 7-Eleven and the night market street. 2. Perched on a cliff with a well-designed tiered layout. Accompanied by live piano music, the ambiance is relaxing and picturesque—great for photos anywhere you look. There are three swimming pools. 3. Every staff member greets you with a traditional 'wai' and a polite hello, and they proactively help with luggage. Service at the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is attentive yet respects your personal space. 4. Highly recommend Suite No. 4: 150 square meters with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Spending an entire afternoon just lying back and daydreaming is totally worth it. It’s the only suite with an ocean view, offering a stunning 270-degree panorama, whereas all other rooms are standard south-facing beach-view rooms. 5. Few rooms, mostly Western guests, uncrowded and peaceful. 6. You can rent a scooter directly at the hotel starting at 300 THB a day, and the return process is hassle-free. 7. We booked one night via Ctrip and extended for 3 more nights on-site, and they gave us a discount. Cons: 1. Facilities are dated; the doors use traditional keys, and there is no master light switch. Suite No. 4 is situated under a large tree, and hard fruits occasionally drop onto the roof, which can give you a start. 2. The food quality for all three meals is just average—nothing special, but acceptable.

The room was incredibly spacious and meticulously clean. The front desk staff were also exceptionally kind and helpful. I had read some reviews mentioning many stairs and the need to carry luggage oneself, which worried me as I was arriving late and tired. However, upon arrival, there were staff members to assist with the bags. And oh, the fried eggs at breakfast were absolutely delicious; I devoured several, they were so good! Definitely set aside extra time for breakfast! I regret not booking more nights. The most, most, most important thing is the ocean view right outside the window – that moment of opening the curtains in the morning was truly delightful. Plus, you can walk directly from the room along the hotel's path to the adjacent beach, which is about a two-minute walk. That particular beach was less crowded and not open to the public, keeping it very clean. The hotel also boasts three swimming pools, and the lowest one by the sea is a large, beautiful infinity-style pool, perfect for photos! I'll definitely stay here again next time; it's so worth it, this hotel alone makes me want to revisit Phuket!

Excellent hotel! The environment is top-notch, the service is great, and the hotel restaurant is delicious, especially the dinner – absolutely fantastic.

My stay here was pretty good. The front desk staff, especially one lady, was really nice. The hotel itself is a very traditional Thai house, and the gardens are super photogenic. However, the hot water was inconsistent, going from hot to cold, which was quite frustrating. I hope they can improve that. Also, the toilet took ages to flush, it felt very old-fashioned. The breakfast was a bit simple, but it had all the basics. Overall, I'd still recommend it, it's a unique find.

The most outrageous thing during my stay was when the housekeeping staff directly opened my door, even though I was in the room and had told them twice to wait. This hotel's locks don't have a deadbolt button, so thankfully I had the security chain on. Their actions immediately set off alarm bells; that lock was practically useless! I initially wanted to check out that night, but the front desk's apology was very sincere, and they moved me to another room. Since my English wasn't great during the communication, it sowed the seeds for problems after checkout (I only realized later that I should have reported this to Trip.com customer service immediately). The result was that after checking out, the full room fee was charged (I had authorized post-departure charges). I only realized this after the charge went through and then contacted Trip.com. The hotel was very uncooperative when Trip.com communicated with them. Because I originally stayed in the Beach Wing and was moved to the Royal Wing, there was a price difference. In the end, the hotel didn't even want to refund the difference, which I found absolutely ridiculous. Trip.com directly reimbursed me, and I'm very grateful to their customer service for that. Now, back to the room itself. I wouldn't recommend booking rooms in the Beach Wing or Ocean Wing during the rainy season. The sound of the waves at night was terrifying, and with all the mirrors in the room, I didn't dare turn off the lights. Plus, there were so many mosquitoes that I got insect bite dermatitis. The toiletries might as well not be there; the toothbrush broke with a light brush. The hotel environment is considered small but refined? The pool is also really small, feeling more like a decoration. The breakfast selection is very limited. I had read before coming that breakfast was just average, but I didn't expect it to be *that* average. However, regarding service, to be fair, apart from that one housekeeping staff member who entered without permission while I was in the room, all other staff members were fine.

This hotel truly lives up to its royal name! The views and rooms were absolutely stunning. We also received a complimentary 20-minute massage each, along with welcome fruits and refreshments. The room service was excellent, making it incredibly good value for money.

The service was excellent, and I really loved the auntie at the front desk! The whole room was fantastic, and there's a path leading directly to the beach – the experience was absolutely superb. I've stayed at many resorts, and this one definitely ranks high on my list! If you get the chance, you should try their Western restaurant at the cliff; it's very authentic, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderful. We originally planned to stay a few more nights, but had to leave because my family found the sound of the waves too loud. If I ever come back to Phuket, I will definitely choose this hotel again! 🥰

The location is excellent, really quiet and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The room is huge, with an extra-large bed. The beach is fantastic – fine sand and not too crowded. We stayed for two days and didn't see a single countryman, which I absolutely loved. It feels like a private beach, as it's surrounded by three or four hotels. The hotel breakfast, however, was quite average with limited variety. The staff at the restaurant entrance who took our details were a bit unfriendly. The hotel pool is very small, which shows the hotel itself isn't large, and there's a limited number of rooms. The facilities are definitely a bit dated; the air conditioning is very noisy, and there were quite a few mosquitoes in the room. On the other hand, the service was excellent. They tidied the room two or three times a day, and in the afternoon, they'd bring a cake to the room. Everything else was great. If I had to choose again, I'd probably still pick this hotel – the beach alone makes it worth it. The hotel is over a 15-minute walk from the commercial street, which we didn't explore much, just enough to grab some food. Most of our time was spent enjoying the slow pace at the hotel.

Let's start with the location and the surrounding scenery. It's a bit far from Patong Beach, but the beach and cliff views here are first-rate. Since I've been to Phuket many times, I decided to book a new beach and hotel this time, and I was quite surprised. The facilities and service are a bit outdated, and honestly, the hygiene also feels a bit old-fashioned 😅 You'll understand when you check in. However, the room size is suitable for family travel, very spacious. The hotel restaurant's food is quite good, and it seems to be a popular spot too. If you're too lazy to go out, you can definitely have one meal at the hotel and enjoy the sunset.
