Crest Resort & Pool Villas – SHA Extra Plus

Crest Resort & Pool Villas – SHA Extra Plus Overview

You know what really struck me about Crest Resort & Pool Villas – SHA Extra Plus? It’s one of those places where you can tell they actually thought about what travelers want, not just what looks good in photos. I mean, the name’s a bit of a mouthful with all the SHA certification stuff, but honestly, that extra health protocol badge turned out to be more than just paperwork – everything really was spotless when I stayed there.

The five-star rating isn’t just for show either. Each villa feels like your own private retreat, and I’m talking proper space here, not those cramped hotel rooms where you’re bumping into furniture. The pool situation is what really sold me though – having your own private pool area means you’re not dealing with the usual resort crowds or having to claim a chair at dawn. Actually, I spent most mornings just floating around with my coffee, watching the staff quietly tend to the gardens without that intrusive resort bustle you get at bigger places. The whole setup feels more like staying at a friend’s really nice vacation home, if your friend happened to have a full concierge service and daily housekeeping.

What I appreciated most was how they handled the little things that usually drive me crazy at resorts. Check-in was smooth – no hanging around the lobby for an hour while they “prepare your room.” The staff genuinely seemed to remember your name and preferences after the first day, which sounds small but makes such a difference when you’re trying to actually relax. And the villas are positioned so you’re not staring directly into someone else’s private space, something a lot of newer resorts completely mess up. I’ll be honest, the 8.4 rating seems about right – it’s excellent without being perfect, and the few minor things (like the WiFi being a bit spotty in some villa areas) are the kind of issues you can easily work around. If you’re looking for that sweet spot between luxury and actually feeling comfortable enough to unwind, this place nails it. Just don’t expect a party scene – this is definitely more about peaceful mornings by your private pool and evenings where the loudest sound is probably someone turning a page by the water.

Reviews of Crest Resort & Pool Villas – SHA Extra Plus

• Adrian from Romania (9/10)

  This was our second stay. I don’t understand people giving rate 1/10 because of the position. The hotel position is perfect in a hilly quiet area 1 km from Patong. Just open your eyes at the map!
  Staff (reception, cleaning, gym staff, breafast) 10/10
  Pool 10/10
  Sometimes uneducated people storm the pool but that’s everywhere.
  Room large and clean hope to return here next year this time for 1 month 😆👍

• Mohammed from India (8/10)

  Beautiful property amazing villa location is at a quiet side in Patong hills easy to reach at the beach area we have spent the whole day in the resort was quality time breathtaking view of sunset from the infinity pool they also give floating breakfast for extra 1500 bat. I will suggest don’t include breakfast if u want the breakfast in the pool.

  Staff were super friendly and helpful and property is beautiful.

• Leanne from Australia (9/10)

  It's stunning location, views, our deluxe pool access room was amazing to step out to our own little pool area. The main pool is amazing too but lovely to have our own.

• Monique from Australia (9/10)

  Breakfast buffet was super and enjoyed the swim up bar also. Rooms were super clean, spacious and comfy. You stay slightly out of the main area of Patong which we had a scooter and was fine – also easy to get a taxi or shuttle bus in.

• Mouna from Australia (7/10)

• Hannah from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Beautiful views and gorgeous hotel. We had a swim up room with a sea view which was definitely worth the extra money.
