Access Resort & Villas – SHA Plus

Access Resort & Villas – SHA Plus Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Access Resort & Villas – SHA Plus, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the places with the most straightforward names end up surprising you the most. This five-star property has that kind of understated confidence that doesn’t need to shout about what it offers.

The villas here are actually something special, and I mean that in the best way possible. Each one feels like you’re staying in someone’s incredibly well-appointed private home rather than a typical hotel room – there’s space to actually spread out and live a little. The pools (yeah, multiple ones) have this almost lazy river vibe during the quieter afternoon hours, though they definitely pick up energy once families start filtering in around four or so. What really got me was the attention to detail in the common areas – you’ll find these little seating nooks tucked away where you can actually have a conversation without feeling like you’re on display for everyone walking by.

The staff here has that rare quality of being genuinely helpful without being overbearing. They seem to anticipate what you need before you ask, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re trying to unwind. The resort maintains those SHA Plus standards too, so if you’re someone who values that extra layer of health and safety protocols, you’ll appreciate how seamlessly they’ve integrated everything. I noticed they keep the grounds immaculate without it feeling sterile – there’s still that lived-in comfort that makes you want to linger by the pool with a book for way longer than you planned. The dining options surprised me as well; instead of the usual resort fare that can get repetitive, they’ve got some genuinely interesting dishes that change things up. Sure, it’s not going to win any Michelin stars, but it’s solid food that doesn’t make you want to venture out for every meal. The whole place has this relaxed sophistication that works whether you’re there with kids or looking for a quieter adult getaway.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Phuket at least three months ahead for major events like Loy Krathong and New Year celebrations, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near popular beaches and attractions.

Reviews of Access Resort & Villas – SHA Plus

• Adam from Australia (9/10)

  Great location , pool and staff

• Elizabeth from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The swim-up rooms are awesome, the pool is at your doorstep and you have a small terrace where you can relax and have lunch. They can bring the lunch by boat. The pool area is beautiful and is kept very clean. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. It’s located away from busy Karon beach which is nice but at the same time you might have to drive to get to restaurants. There is a 7eleven across the road but be careful to cross, it’s very busy.

• Maxmilan from United Kingdom (7/10)

  The pool was the main highlight. Especially being connected to the room was a bonus. They also have a pool table and darts board you can use. Location is good, only 15min walk to the beach. Good restaurant options close by.
