Hillside seaview Residence

Hillside seaview Residence Overview

You know what struck me first about Hillside Seaview Residence? It’s one of those places where the name actually delivers on its promise – and honestly, that’s rarer than you’d think. The moment you walk into the lobby, you get these glimpses of blue water through the windows that just make you exhale. I mean, I’ve stayed at plenty of places that claim “seaview” and you need binoculars and a prayer to spot the ocean.

This four-star property sits perfectly on that sweet spot between proper hotel service and residential comfort. The rooms feel more like well-appointed apartments than typical hotel boxes – there’s actually space to spread out your stuff without playing Tetris with your luggage. What I really appreciated was the kitchenette setup; it’s not just for show like in some places. You can actually cook a decent meal if you want to skip restaurant prices for a night or two. The balconies are where this place really shines though. I spent way too many mornings out there with coffee, watching the light change on the water. Fair warning – if you’re not a morning person, you might become one here.

The location works really well if you want that slightly removed vibe without being stuck in the middle of nowhere. You’re not dealing with the chaos of the main tourist strips, but you can still get where you need to go without too much fuss. I found the hillside setting gives you this nice elevated perspective on everything – sort of like having a private viewing deck of the coastline. The staff genuinely seems to know the area well, which is refreshing. When I asked about hiking trails nearby, the front desk guy didn’t just hand me a generic brochure – he actually sketched out a route on a napkin and told me the best time to go to avoid crowds.

Parking was surprisingly painless, which anyone who’s dealt with coastal destinations will appreciate. The pool area is smaller than some resort-style places, but it never felt crowded, and the infinity edge effect with the sea view backdrop is pretty spectacular, especially around sunset. I will say the Wi-Fi can be a bit temperamental in some rooms – not a deal-breaker, but if you’re planning to work remotely, maybe mention it when you book and see if they can set you up accordingly. The housekeeping is thorough without being intrusive, and they actually remembered my preference for extra towels after the second day, which is the kind of detail that sticks with you.

  Very nice hotel, with rooms overlooking the pool and the sea in the distance.
  The staff were very friendly.
  We had a 2 bedroom apartment that was really good and pretty good value for money in Phuket.
  It's up a steep hill so I recommend walking down and getting a taxi back.
