The Bloc Hotel Phuket – SHA Extra Plus

The Bloc Hotel Phuket – SHA Extra Plus Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about The Bloc Hotel Phuket – SHA Extra Plus, the name made it sound a bit corporate and sterile. You know what though? I was completely wrong about this place. This four-star property actually has way more character than you’d expect, and after staying there twice now, I keep finding myself recommending it to friends heading to Phuket.

The whole vibe here is modern but not cold, if that makes sense. They’ve got this sleek design thing going on – lots of clean lines and contemporary touches – but it doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping in an office building. The rooms are genuinely spacious, which is honestly refreshing after some of the shoebox hotels I’ve encountered elsewhere on the island. What really got me was the attention to detail in the bathrooms… they’re actually designed for real people, not just Instagram photos. Good water pressure, decent lighting for getting ready, and enough space to spread out your toiletries without everything falling into the sink.

The pool area is where this place really shines, though. It’s got this urban resort feel that works surprisingly well – you’re not pretending to be in some remote tropical paradise, but you’re still getting that vacation atmosphere. The staff here seem to actually care about what they’re doing, which I mean, sounds basic but you’d be surprised how rare that is. They remember your name after a day or two, and they’re genuinely helpful with local recommendations rather than just pushing the expensive tour packages. I actually discovered my favorite local seafood spot because one of the front desk guys told me where he takes his family for dinner. The whole SHA Extra Plus certification thing might sound like marketing speak, but honestly, it was reassuring during my last visit – they take the health protocols seriously without making it feel like a hassle. Check-in was smooth both times I stayed, and I never had any issues with noise from other rooms or the street, which can be a real problem in some parts of Phuket depending on where you end up. The location works well if you want to explore different parts of the island without being stuck in one touristy bubble – you’re not right on the beach, but that also means you’re not dealing with beach-front prices and crowds when you just want to grab a coffee or find a decent meal.

Look, it’s not going to blow your mind or change your life, but The Bloc delivers exactly what it promises. It’s comfortable, well-run, and the kind of place where you can actually relax instead of constantly dealing with little annoyances. For a four-star in Phuket, that’s honestly more than enough to keep me coming back.

Hotel in Phuket booking should be done early, especially during high season when the island hosts internationally celebrated beach parties and cultural festivals at Patong Beach and other iconic locations.
