Laya Resort Phuket Island

Laya Resort Phuket Island Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Laya Resort Phuket Island? It’s actually tucked away from all the tourist chaos that usually defines this part of Thailand, which honestly made my stay feel way more authentic than I expected. I mean, Phuket can be overwhelming with all the crowds and street vendors, but this five-star spot manages to create this bubble of calm without making you feel completely cut off from the real island vibe.

The resort sits on this stretch of beach that’s wide enough to actually spread out – none of that elbow-to-elbow sunbathing situation you get at the more popular spots. What I really appreciated was how they’ve kept the landscaping pretty natural; there are these massive trees providing actual shade (not just those tiny umbrellas), and the pools kind of flow around the existing landscape instead of just being plopped down wherever. The staff here actually remembers your name after day one, which sounds small but makes such a difference when you’re trying to unwind. Check-in was smooth too – no standing around in some marble lobby feeling like you’re at a bank.

The rooms are spacious in that way where you can actually open your suitcase without playing Tetris with the furniture, and honestly, the bathrooms are probably bigger than some hotel rooms I’ve stayed in. I loved that the balconies face different directions depending on your room, so you’re not all staring at the same view like some kind of weird synchronized vacation experience. The beach access is direct – just walk down these stone steps and you’re there, no shuttle or long trek required. Food-wise, they’ve got options beyond the usual resort buffet situation, and the Thai dishes actually taste like the ones you’d get from that little place locals go to, not the watered-down tourist versions. The spa is where I ended up spending more time than planned – their traditional Thai massage therapists know what they’re doing, and the treatment rooms have these views that make you forget you’re paying resort prices. It’s the kind of place where you can be as social or as invisible as you want, which is pretty rare for a property this size.

  Very spacious rooms and bathrooms with both shower and bath. 3 large pools all across the hotel. The only problem we had was with the room service, other than that everything was great. They also have different areas, and a quiet big, nicely equipped gym.

• Virginia from Singapore (7/10)

  O hotel é novo e visivelmente com tudo de alta qualidade. Vaso sanitário inteligente, com controle remoto. Ótimo banho. Secador de cabelo maravilhoso, o melhor que já vi em um hotel. Ficamos nesse hotel em nossa última noite em Phuket por ser perto do aeroporto, para evitar o trânsito, e valeu por isso.

• Jonas from Sweden (3/10)

  Nybyggt, hög standard, toppengym

• Tatiana from Russia (9/10)

  Новый, комфортный отель с приятным интерьером , достаточно удобным расположением , чистыми номерами

• Ilya from Russia (9/10)

  Все супер, только для пляжа немного неудобно ходить , нужен трансфер как у соседнего отеля и по чаще. Ребенок заболел ветрянкой сидел в номере 5 дней завтрак не давали забрать в номер это минус, ссылаясь на то что все так начнут делать. В ресторане при отеле очень долго готовят час+ точно , но еда хорошая

• Nadezhda from Belgium (6/10)

  Отель достаточно новый, красивый. Есть свой паркинг. Небольшая, но красивая территория. Хорошо оборудованные комнаты и ванные. Дружелюбный и готовый помочь персонал на ресепшен. Выдают полотенца для бассейна, можно менять. Вообще складывается ощущение, что отель мог бы быть отличным, но то, как все реализуется уменьшает его рейтинг. Об этом напишу в минусах.
