Hotel IKON Phuket – SHA Extra Plus

Hotel IKON Phuket – SHA Extra Plus Overview

You know what struck me first about Hotel IKON Phuket – SHA Extra Plus? It’s actually got this modern, almost minimalist vibe that feels refreshing when you’re used to all the over-the-top resort theatrics you see everywhere else in Phuket. I mean, don’t get me wrong – it’s definitely a four-star property with all the polish you’d expect, but there’s something understated about the whole place that I really appreciated.

The lobby has this clean, contemporary design with lots of natural light, and honestly, the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there rather than just going through the motions. Check-in was smooth – none of that awkward waiting around while they figure out your reservation. What I loved most though was how quiet the place manages to be. You’re still close enough to the action that you can hear the distant hum of Phuket’s nightlife if you really listen, but the hotel itself feels like this calm bubble. The pool area is where you really get a sense of what they’re going for – it’s got this infinity edge that makes you feel like you’re floating above the city, and the deck chairs are actually comfortable (you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong).

The rooms are spacious and well thought out, with these floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of light during the day. I particularly liked the bathroom setup – the shower has excellent water pressure, which matters more than people realize when you’ve been walking around in Phuket’s humidity all day. The air conditioning is powerful without being arctic, and the beds are firm but not like sleeping on concrete. What really impressed me was the attention to small details – decent WiFi throughout, plenty of outlets near the bed, and blackout curtains that actually block out light. The housekeeping team does their job well too, always restocking the minibar and keeping everything spotless without being intrusive about it.

Here’s the thing about the location – it’s not beachfront, but that’s actually kind of perfect if you want to experience Phuket beyond just the tourist beach scene. You’re positioned where you can easily get to Patong if you want that energy, or head toward the quieter beaches when you need to decompress. The hotel runs a shuttle service that’s pretty reliable, though I’d recommend renting a scooter if you’re comfortable with it – gives you way more flexibility to explore. The restaurant on-site serves solid Thai food alongside international options, and their breakfast spread is generous without being overwhelming. I mean, you’re not going to write home about the culinary experience, but it’s definitely satisfying and well-prepared. Overall, it’s one of those places that just works – comfortable, well-managed, and positioned perfectly for both relaxation and exploration.

Phuket’s apartments offer beachside accommodations with ocean views, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this culturally rich Thai island paradise.

• Lauren from Australia (8/10)

  Location was awesome!! So many food places surrounding and right next to a 7/11. Only 5 mins from the main area of Karon and only 15 mins to Patong. Could easily get a grab car. Staff were very helpful & breakfast was a good selection. Pool was @ refreshing temperature after hot day.

• Emma from Australia (8/10)

  When I arrived the mattress was very firm and I thought I would wake up sore but surprisingly it was a good sleep.
  The pool was nice but never had any direct sun.
  Was very reasonable price though so overall I was happy with my stay.
  Would stay again
