The Melody Phuket – SHA Extra Plus

The Melody Phuket – SHA Extra Plus Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to The Melody Phuket – SHA Extra Plus, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the places with slightly quirky names end up surprising you the most. This four-star property sits in a sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything that matters in Phuket without being right in the thick of the tourist chaos.

The thing that struck me immediately was how the staff actually seemed to know what they were doing – and I mean that in the best way possible. Check-in was smooth, no weird upselling attempts, just genuine helpfulness. The lobby has this modern Thai aesthetic that doesn’t feel forced or overdone, if that makes sense. The rooms are what you’d hope for from a solid four-star: clean, well-maintained, with that perfect balance of local touches and international comfort standards. I actually appreciated that they didn’t go overboard with the “authentic Thai experience” theme – sometimes you just want a great shower and reliable air conditioning, especially during Phuket’s sticky season.

What really won me over, though, was the location strategy here. You’re positioned where you can easily hop over to the main beach areas when you want that scene, but you can also retreat back to something more peaceful. The pool area becomes this nice little sanctuary in the afternoons – not too crowded, good for actually swimming rather than just posing for photos. I spent quite a bit of time there with a book, and honestly, the service was consistently good without being hovering-over-you annoying. The breakfast spread is solid too – they’ve got the Western basics covered but also some proper Thai options that actually taste authentic. I mean, I’ve stayed at places where the “local cuisine” clearly comes from the same supplier as every other hotel, but this felt different. The staff in the restaurant seemed genuinely proud of what they were serving, which always tells you something. One small thing that impressed me – the evening turndown service wasn’t just going through the motions. Little details like that add up over a few days. The 8.3 rating this place gets makes total sense to me. It’s not trying to be the flashiest option in Phuket, but it delivers consistently on what matters most to travelers who want a proper base for exploring the island.
