Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Surin Beach, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Surin Beach, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

The Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Surin Beach, an IHG Hotel sits right where you want to be — literally steps from one of Phuket’s most gorgeous stretches of sand. I mean, when you’re staying at a four-star resort that’s earned an 8.7 location score, you know you’ve hit the sweet spot. The property has this relaxed, tropical vibe that hits you the moment you walk through the lobby, and honestly, the sound of waves becomes your constant soundtrack here.

The Surin Beach Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — Surin Beach isn’t as crazy crowded as Patong, but it’s got enough going on to keep things interesting. You’re in what locals consider the best part of the area, and couples especially seem to get this (they rate the location 8.8, which tells you something). The beach itself is this beautiful curve of white sand with clear water, and you’ve got some excellent beachfront restaurants just a short walk away. Plus, there’s free parking if you decide to rent a car and explore the island.

Room Experience

The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, with that classic Holiday Inn reliability you can count on. What really worked for me was the balcony — most rooms have decent views, and if you’re lucky enough to get an ocean-facing one, well, you’ll spend a lot of time out there with your morning coffee. The air conditioning works like a dream (crucial in Thailand’s heat), and the beds are actually comfortable, which isn’t always a given at beach resorts. Each room features modern amenities and thoughtful design touches that enhance your stay.

Breakfast and Dining

The breakfast spread here is honestly impressive — they’ve got everything from continental options to full English, plus Asian dishes, vegetarian choices, and even halal options. It’s buffet-style, so you can try a bit of everything, and I found myself mixing Thai fruit with traditional Western breakfast items most mornings. The restaurant staff is friendly and keeps everything well-stocked, even during busy periods when the place fills up with families and couples. The dining experience sets a high standard for the entire stay.

Why Guests Love It

You know what makes this place work? It’s that sweet spot between being part of a reliable international chain and having genuine Thai hospitality. The location really is unbeatable — you’re on Surin Beach but close enough to other attractions that nothing feels out of reach. Families appreciate the space and amenities, while couples love the romantic beachfront setting. The 7.1 rating reflects solid, dependable quality without any major surprises, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want for a beach vacation where the focus should be on relaxation, not worrying about hotel issues. This four-star property delivers consistent value and comfort throughout your visit.

• Qatar from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Location

• Ximenachavesr from Colombia (8/10)

  The hotel was located near the beach and main road where you could take taxis or bus easily.
  
  The staff was extremely nice and courteous.
  Breakfast has many options to chose from, better if you go early because later it’s goes crowded and the items take longer to be replenish

• Michael from South Africa (6/10)

  The hotel has a lot of potential’ but seriously needs some renovations. Was very disappointed in the bar area at the pool’ ordering food takes over 1 half hours’ can’t do that to kids I saw clients telling them after 2 hours waiting for food to leave the food and left’ you can’t make kids wait 2 hours when hungry- you need serious management doing there job here’ not the staff fault serving us as the waitress and staff and the lady was very friendly’ it’s the kitchen that’s slow. Ever under staffed or just slow.
  
  Breakfast also’ didn’t enjoy the food and quality that needs some serious attention here.
  
  The hotel manager should be walking around seeing what’s going on making sure clients are happy.
  
  The hotel cleannesses in rooms is disgusting they only use water to mop and sweep and no disinfectant liquids used I watched them the one day when they came to clean late’ that’s shocking toilets and floors should be cleaned with disinfectant liquid daily especially in Tailand’ more staff is needed here very under staffed and staff don’t have vacuum!
  
  This hotel has potential to make 40% more turn over if these issues are fixed. Restaurant always empty “you should think about this” why?
