The View Rawada Phuket

The View Rawada Phuket Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to The View Rawada Phuket, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. The name kind of gives it away though, doesn’t it? This place is all about those sweeping views across Phuket, and honestly, they deliver on that promise in a big way.

What struck me right away was how this four-star property manages to feel both polished and unpretentious at the same time. You know what I mean? It’s not trying to be the fanciest place on the island, but everything just… works. The lobby has this open, breezy feel that immediately tells you you’re somewhere tropical, and the staff actually seemed genuinely happy to see guests arrive – not that forced hotel smile you get sometimes. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend arriving in the late afternoon if you can swing it. That’s when the light hits the property just right, and you’ll understand why they called it “The View.”

The rooms themselves are solid – clean lines, decent space, and those windows that frame the scenery like artwork. I mean, I’ve stayed in places that cost twice as much with half the vista. The beds are comfortable enough that I actually overslept one morning (which never happens to me when I’m traveling), and the air conditioning works properly, which honestly feels like a minor miracle in Thailand’s heat. What I really appreciated were the little thoughtful touches – proper reading lights, enough outlets for all your devices, and a bathroom that doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a cramped airplane lavatory. The balcony became my favorite spot for morning coffee, watching the island wake up slowly below.

Now, let’s talk about what makes this place special beyond just having a nice view. The pool area is where you’ll probably end up spending more time than you planned – it’s got this laid-back vibe where you can actually relax without feeling like you need to stake out a chair at dawn. The restaurant serves decent Thai food (I had the green curry twice, which tells you something), and while it’s not going to win any culinary awards, it’s definitely a step up from typical hotel fare. Plus, the location gives you options – you’re not stuck in some resort bubble if you want to venture out and explore the real Phuket.

Look, this isn’t a luxury resort with butler service and gold-plated everything, but that’s exactly why it works. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind without breaking the bank, and where the views from your room might just be better than what you’d get at those flashy five-star places down the coast. The 7.6 rating feels about right – it’s a solid choice that does what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. If you’re looking for somewhere comfortable to base yourself while exploring Phuket, and you appreciate a good view with your morning coffee, you could do a lot worse than this spot.

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

  The room was really big, the bed was comfy and it was overall a nice stay. The pool views are breath taking but you have to wake up extra early for a lounger as they have around 8 in total.
