Icon Park Apartments – Kamala Beach Overview
Icon Park Apartments – Kamala Beach is one of those places that actually surprised me when I first walked in – and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a four-star property in this part of Phuket. The lobby has this clean, modern vibe that feels more like a boutique hotel than typical apartment-style accommodation, which is refreshing because so many places around Kamala can feel a bit tired.
What I really appreciate about this place is how they’ve managed to strike a balance between apartment convenience and hotel service. The units I’ve seen are genuinely spacious – not just “spacious for Thailand” but actually roomy enough that you’re not tripping over your suitcase every five minutes. The kitchenettes are functional too, which is huge if you’re staying more than a couple nights and want to grab some fruit from the local market or store leftovers from those massive Thai portions. You know what’s smart? They positioned the building so most rooms catch the evening breeze from the hills behind Kamala, which means you’re not blasting the AC constantly like you do at beachfront places.
The location is actually pretty clever – you’re about a seven-minute walk to Kamala Beach (I’ve timed it), but far enough back that you avoid the worst of the tourist chaos and those aggressive jet ski guys. There’s a decent local restaurant called Ruen Mai that’s practically next door, and they do this amazing green curry that locals actually eat at, not just tourists. The walk to the beach takes you past some genuine Thai neighborhoods where you’ll see kids playing and laundry hanging out, which I mean, gives you a better sense of the real Phuket than staying right on the strip does. Parking isn’t terrible either – there’s usually space, though it can get tight during high season when everyone’s trying to squeeze in.
I’ll be honest, the 7.2 rating makes sense to me. It’s solid without being spectacular, and there are a few rough edges that keep it from feeling truly premium. The Wi-Fi can be spotty in some rooms (though it’s fine in common areas), and housekeeping is… well, let’s say inconsistent. Some days they’re thorough, other days it feels like they just made the bed and called it done. But the staff at reception are genuinely helpful – they know the area well and can point you toward the good massage places and which tuk-tuk drivers won’t rip you off.
The pool area is where this place really works, especially in the late afternoon when the light hits just right and you can actually relax without feeling like you’re in a tourist fishbowl. It’s big enough that you can find a quiet corner even when it’s busy, and the water’s clean (I’ve seen some questionable hotel pools in Thailand, trust me). If you’re looking for apartment-style space with hotel perks in Kamala without paying resort prices, this place delivers on that promise pretty well.
