Happy Eight Resort SHA

Happy Eight Resort SHA Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Happy Eight Resort SHA? For a three-star place, it honestly punches way above its weight class. I mean, when I first rolled up, I wasn’t expecting much – the name sounds a bit quirky, and three stars usually means you’re getting the basics and that’s about it. But this place has this understated charm that grows on you.

The resort has this relaxed, almost family-run vibe that’s refreshing in a world of cookie-cutter hotels. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is rare these days. I noticed they’ve got this attention to detail that you don’t always see – like, the housekeeping team doesn’t just throw fresh towels on the bed and call it done. They actually fold them nicely, and there’s always this subtle jasmine scent in the rooms that’s not overpowering but definitely intentional. The pool area is where this place really shines though. It’s not huge, but it’s perfectly maintained and surprisingly quiet even during busy periods. I spent most afternoons there with a book, and honestly, the poolside service was better than some five-star places I’ve stayed at.

What really impressed me was how they handle the whole SHA certification thing – you know, the Thailand safety protocols. Instead of making it feel clinical and sterile, they’ve managed to keep that warm hospitality while still being thorough about health measures. The check-in was smooth, no endless paperwork or confusion like I’ve experienced elsewhere. And here’s something I appreciated: the Wi-Fi actually works consistently throughout the property. Sounds basic, I know, but you’d be surprised how many places still struggle with this. The restaurant on-site serves decent Thai food – not mind-blowing, but solid and reasonably priced. I found myself eating there more often than I planned because it was just convenient and reliable. The breakfast spread is pretty generous for a three-star, with both Western and local options that don’t feel like afterthoughts. Parking was never an issue, which is always a relief when you’re exploring on your own. Look, this isn’t the kind of place that’s going to wow you with flashy amenities or over-the-top luxury, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want – somewhere comfortable, genuine, and well-run without the pretense.

  My family and I stayed at this lovely small hotel, and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms are impeccably clean and comfortable, with a small kitchen and all the necessary utensils for cooking, which was a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home right away. The hotel is located in a peaceful and quiet area, perfect for a relaxing stay. Cleaning is done every day, ensuring that the place stays neat and tidy. One of the biggest pluses was the availability of a washing machine in the hotel. When you're traveling with a child, it's an invaluable amenity, and it was very helpful. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and cozy place to stay!

• Therese from Sweden (8/10)

  It was really nice and neat. Big with a kitchen so you can cook if you want.
  We stayed at the bottom floor and had the pool as a view.
  It went very smoothly with check in and they also helped us with rental of scooter. Also helped us book ferry tickets with transfer to Koh Phi Phi.
  
  Nothing outside the ordinary with this place.

  The apartment was spacious and comfortable and the Smart TV in the room was big which was great. The entrance room had a small sofa and dining table and the kitchen was well equipped. The shower was also good. The pool area is well decorated, well maintained and relaxing. Next to the property there are a few affordable, quality restaurants.

• Babak from Iran (10/10)

  Hello! 🌺🏖️
  
  My wife and I recently stayed at a wonderful resort on Rawai Beach in Phuket for our 20th wedding anniversary and we were really pleased with everything! With beautiful views and a relaxing environment, this residence was the best place to relax and enjoy nature and the pool.
  
  Our room was very clean and comfortable and the facilities were perfect and sufficient for us. Also, the presence of kitchen tools allowed us to prepare delicious breakfasts by ourselves.
  
  But what made this experience even more special was the kindness of Mr. Tom and the staff! He kindly and compassionately helped us to make the best moments in this beautiful island. I am truly grateful for his advice on renting a motorbike and coordinating the time and way to and from and his special attention to detail. 🌞😊
