We had an amazing time here at best western. We were upgraded to a semi detached bungalow room number 5111. The staff were amazing and we ate one night at the sea front restaurant and the food was delicious. It was beautiful and very close to the beach. I was happy to be close to our room from the beach as the toilet facilities where we rented sun beds were probably the worst I’ve seen, that was nothing to do with the hotel. The hotel was spotless with fantastic facilities. The beach was beautiful a lot cleaner than previous reviews. We rented sun beds to the right off beach just as you go onto beach. They cost 200 bhat for 2. We would definitely recommend this hotel

Nice resort

Lovely resort in excellent condition. Staff are wonderful. Pools were beautiful even tough we never went in them, we only used the beach. The only thing we wished was addressed is to have a staff member walk the beach area in front of the resort to clean the beach regularly. The garbage that floats up the beach daily, which is not the fault of the resort, but it would be better if the resort would send someone down to clean it up so guests are not swimming in it.

Relaxing location, quiet and away from major nightlife but enough bars and restaurants to choose from. Hotel itself is good and the pool areas well designed and maintained. Staff are superb. Room large (deluxe seaview) and always clean. It also had adequate amenities. Breakfast was OK but range of options was a tad limited. Beach access outside of rainy season will be great I'm sure. During it high tides and rough seas prevent meaningful access. That said the full Bangtao bay is wonderful.

This is a very nice place if you are interested in staying on the beach and do not plan to go out of the compound. There's everything you need for a quality beach vacation, the nice sandy beach, swimming pools, restaurants, massage, water sports, etc. However the area outside the hotel is dirty, possibly because there was a road construction going on while we were there. There is no public transportation, so you will need either a car / motorbike, or taxi to explore the island. There are many restaurants and massage shops outside the hotel, but the street is dirty and unpleasant to walk. Based on the hotel itself, I would rate it 5, considering the environment it is 4.

The staff were kind, considerate and helpful, but the resort is not a 4-star rating kind of place. It might have been 30 years ago! There was a nicer resort next door, and had I known, I would have booked that place because it was modern and more to my taste. I stayed at a Best Western hotel in Venice, Italy, a few times, and because it was a very nice experience, I assumed I would have the same experience in Phuket. Sadly, I was mistaken.

Anyone who has ever stayed at a Best Western in the US knows exactly what kind of hotel accommodation it is. I read a few negative reviews and was surprised, no one should complain knowing what a Best Western type hotel actually is. This is much better than those in the USA. Keeping this in mind we were very pleasantly surprised by how nice of a stay we had. This is heavenly Phuket after all. We found the hotel clean, comfortable, pleasant, a very nice cozy lobby, the staff very helpful and sweet, and the pool and the beachside area beautiful. The breakfast area was also quite lovely, the view of Bang Tao beach wonderful to have your breakfast beside. If I had one complaint it would be that the pillows are uncomfortable but that is the only thing I can come up with. A pleasant stay, and we thank the Best Western Premier Bang Tao, we will be back if we are in a pinch ever again in Phuket.

Pretty nice and friendly and helpful staff. Room is very clean. But the room I have (4107) air conditioning has some problem. It's very coldnand cannot adjust the temperature. You can either turn it on or turn it off. And mosquito is a headache too. We found the Electric mosquito coil under the TV second night. Its much better after we light the mosquito coil. Overall still satisfied this stay. Recommended.

Great hotel, staff and location. Heaps of great food and drink options on the beach and around the hotel. Bangtao is a great spot for a few weeks, unfortunately the beach is covered with single use plastics which wash up all day and night. The guys on the beach do a great cleaning job, but it's a constant fight. Not the fault of the hotel at all, it's humans. Access to the beach is by rock steps which the sea has blown out and sandbags have been added. It's still easy and safe access. Hotel seafood restaurant is terrible, the worst food I ever ate in Thailand. The Barbecue fish platter was all just deep fried and greasy. Including prawns, in shells, battered and deep fried. Horrible and ridiculously expensive (over 2000 bht for two). The staff and hotel facilities are top quality, the rooms are big, have aircon and very clean. The staff are all amazingly helpful and easy to deal with. I would stay here again.

We stayed at the Best Western Premier Bangtao Beach Resort during EDC Thailand 2025, and it was the perfect choice. Just 15-20 minutes from Boat Avenue Lakefront, where EDC is held, the location was incredibly convenient. Beach access was amazing—we could be on the sand or in a beach chair within minutes. The resort is close to a 7-Eleven, where we grabbed snacks, drinks, and Thai Craft Beer, and used the ATM. The area also had plenty of shops for beach gear, souvenirs, and even cannabis dispensaries for those who partake. The breakfast buffet was a standout. Every morning, I enjoyed bacon, eggs, and rice topped with fish sauce, vinegar, and chilis. The condiment bar allowed me to customize my meal perfectly. While the resort’s beer selection was limited, nearby Porto De Phuket’s Tops grocery store had an incredible variety, including imported beers from the US. Although I stuck with Thai Craft Beers most of the time. Massages were affordable at just 500 THB for an hour. The staff were incredibly friendly, greeting us with smiles throughout the property. Basic English was sufficient, but a few Thai phrases made interactions even better. Our room had a small ocean and pool view, though it could be noisy from neighbors at night—earplugs helped. The beach was beautiful, and walking to nearby spots like Catch for drinks was a treat. Highly recommend for EDC attendees or first-time Phuket visitors! Be sure to download Bolt/Grab and use nearby TukTuks for convenience.

I was originally going to book a hotel near Boat Ave, I'm so glad I did not. On the way to Bang Tao from the airport, we drove past this area and it is not very pleasant. The drive from the airport to BWP takes 40 minutes and it is not a smooth ride. BWP is in an excellent position on the beach. Opposite there are 3 reasonable restaurants, a 7/11, money exchange, several atm's, several massage salons and a pharmacy. There is also a taxi service opposite, use them as they charge B100 less than the hotel. I had a deluxe room and it was as described. If you can ask for a room in blocks 1 or 2 as they are closest to reception. The hotel staff are excellent and reception is always staffed. 2 large swimming pools, free yoga classes, hotel main restuarant and a seafood restaurant that I found to be just ok for food. If you walk along the beach to the north, there are many beach shack restaurants set up on the sand. There are also more restaurants and bars in the northern part of the beach, it is a B400 taxi round trip or about a 30 minute walk along the beach. I stayed in Bang Tao for 4 nights and that was probably enough, but for a family on an all includive deal, the hotel offers everything. You can pay cash for food and drinks etc rather than charging it all to your room. I highly recommend it.
