Chalong Princess Pool Villa Resort SHA EXTRA PLUS

Chalong Princess Pool Villa Resort SHA EXTRA PLUS Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Chalong Princess Pool Villa Resort SHA EXTRA PLUS? I was honestly expecting just another cookie-cutter resort when I first pulled up, but this three-star place in Chalong actually has some real character to it. The name’s a bit of a mouthful – I mean, they really went all out with that “SHA EXTRA PLUS” bit – but don’t let that put you off.

The pool villas are where this place really shines, and I’m not just talking about the Instagram factor here. Each villa feels genuinely private, which is something I’ve learned not to take for granted in Thailand. The pools aren’t massive, but they’re deep enough for a proper swim and the water stays surprisingly clean. I spent most mornings floating around with my coffee, watching the staff quietly go about their business without that hovering feeling you get at some places. The rooms themselves are spacious enough that you’re not tripping over your luggage, and honestly, for a three-star property, the beds are more comfortable than I expected. Air conditioning works properly too – crucial detail that some “higher-end” places I’ve stayed at somehow mess up.

Location-wise, you’re in Chalong, which puts you close to the pier if you’re planning any island hopping, but far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually relax. I actually preferred being here rather than staying right in Patong or Kata – you get a much better sense of how locals live, and the seafood restaurants nearby are fantastic without the tourist markup. The resort runs a shuttle service that’s pretty reliable, though I’d recommend renting a scooter if you’re comfortable with that. Parking‘s no issue if you go the car route. One thing I noticed – and this might matter to light sleepers – is that roosters start their thing pretty early in this area, but honestly, it just felt like part of the authentic Thai experience to me. The staff here actually seem to care about what they’re doing, which makes such a difference. They’re not overly formal, just genuinely helpful when you need something. Check-in was smooth, no weird hidden fees or pushy upselling attempts. I’d say this place punches above its weight class – it might not have all the bells and whistles of a five-star resort, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

To book hotel in Phuket during the vibrant Songkran festival, visitors should make reservations well in advance as this tropical paradise attracts millions of tourists from around the world seeking pristine beaches and authentic Thai culture.
