Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort

Wonderful views, wonderful service, wonderful location. The staff makes you feel welcome from the initial greeting. The room was very updated. This is definitely someplace that I would return to in the future.

For me hyatt regency is a big name in hotel industry. So when choosing this hotel, my expectation is high coz experiencing hyatt hotels in my place, they are all tip top. This hyatt regency phuket resort really got me in to surprised! Reaching at the hotel lobby, i’m amazed. Nice and modern concepts! But during checking in, there comes the first issue. We made reservations for 2 rooms as we are travelling with family. But then they refused to give us room next/closed to each other. Or even next to next block. We were given 1 room in block 4 and another one in block 6!! I was damn mad with this issue but chose not to prolong and spoil my holiday mood, i just let it go. Went to the room, my first impression was like, is this really hyatt regency?? The build-in wardrobe and furniture is wornout. The wall painting in the toilet is peeling off. The rain shower is not well functioning. Water goes out from the bathroom during shower due to door cannot be close properly. So yeahh... i’m really disappointed with this trip. The hotel is not as what you seen in the pictures on their website.

Hotel staff were lovely and always smiling. Pool is amazing, best hotel pool I have seen - huge. Nice atmosphere down by the pool. Rooms are nice. Breakfast is good, wide selection to suit anyone. Very hot and humid at this time of year. Would love there to have been a cold plunge pool somewhere as the pool water became quite warm. Negatives: 1. building sites on both sides and constant construction noises during the day. 2. Price of drinks at the pool is extortionate 3. 15 minute walk to Kamala beach - if you need to walk back after the last bus (6.15 pm - too early) you will need to pay around 200-300) 4. Prices for food and drink in Kamala are higher than you expect (especially if you have just come from Chiang Mai)

We have stayed at Hyatt Park and Hyatt Regency in many cities and didn't even think twice when booking this hotel, because we have always been really happy with Hyatt. First of all - the staff at the hotel is wonderful! We would have moved if it had not been for them!! However... after extensive travelling for the last 30 years, I can only blame our experience on poor leadership and sufficient training. I am sorry to say, but this Hyatt Regency is not 5 star and should not be able to use the Hyatt brand. At first glance it all looks wonderful - as the lobby area is well kept and clean. It is obvious that the cleaners and maintenance staff are not appreciated nor trained correctly. The hotel is too new to have the amount of neglect found in our room. E.g.; loose handle bar in shower, dead flies and dark hair all over the floor in the bathroom and toilet, black stains everywhere on the white marble floor, bathtub tap loose, 1 bathroom sliding door stuck the other one with holes, huge stains on the balcony curtains - this is just a few examples! Regardless of the poor cleaning, the hotel had other areas to attend to as well. The food was really good, well prepared and tasty. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet! However, you can not charge food and drinks as if this was in London, Rome, New York or Paris! Paying over 20 euros for a cup of machine filter coffee in Thailand is not OK! Especially when the hotel itself is not up to par as a proper luxury hotel. The pool bar and pool restaurant would be full if they had more sensible pricing and fixed all the broken tiles in the pool! During our stay the hotel also hosted weddings every other day - which can be a pleasant feature once or twice during your holiday...not 3-4 times a week. The weddings resulted in the most popular dinner restaurant being closed and sound checks being performed at high volume during the whole day. They were also building new hotels on each side of Hyatt while we were there - no info from the hotel prior to stay. The hotel is located quite far from Kamala Beach and 'city centre'. There is a shuttle tuktuk from the hotel, but does not run all day and not very often, so we used taxis and normal tuktuks. As indicated in the heading - this is not a 5-star hotel in any way in our opinion, but certainly have the potential to become one! would therefore not recommend this to experienced travelers - the price and expectations do not match.

Very good value for money hotel. Great service. Clean, and good food. Location is a bit far from everything but again taxi or scooter would bring u anywhere quickly. There are constructions in progress on each side of the hotel unfortunately. Seems it won't be completed before 2020.

Great facilities, and the staff were excellent . Two new hotels are being built either side of the hotel and we were not told until we arrived so some days were noisy by the pool. Food and beverage options should be better for a Hyatt hotel , lack of choice at times. Pool is excellent , rooms comfortable . We had a spa terrace room , excellent space and privacy . The hillside location might put people off but there are plenty of buggies and the walk was good exercise for us.

Hyatt have been the most accommodating hosts! The resort, facilities, staff, amenities and services have been nothing short of a 5 star experience. From our private transfer at the airport to being checked in, it was all a smooth transition. Amazing staff at every turn! There were buggies to take us from the rooms to the pool area since it was quite a hilly walk- they ran 24/7 and could call to request one. Restaurant has a variety of Thai and continental cuisine, a good variety for breakfast with omelette station, varied drinks etc. The food was not halal and there were quite a lot of pork dishes, but plenty of other options too- waffles, pancakes, pastries, salads etc. Also a vegetarian section everyday. (Definitely try the mango and sticky rice for dinner!!!!) We had access to the club lounge, breakfast there was pretty limited to vegetarians, you’re better off just eating in the main restaurant. They provided drinks throughout the day, and had happy hour between 5-7 which had some good snacks (rice, noodles, pastries, nibbles), again not great for vegetarians but definitely enough to fill you up! However the thing we enjoyed most about the club room was definitely the view- don’t get a better view anywhere else! It really was stunning! The pool was one of the BEST I have been in, we rented a few inflatable pool floats for a small price which was very nice! All our requests were adhered to in a timely manner and we would definitely stay again! The only con I had was the room: we had the private pool room where the pool was too shallow for adults, it may have been suitable for kids but we didn’t end up using it. The actual room itself is quite outdated, and the entrance to the rooms is not the best, however this was definitely overlooked with everything else being near to perfect! I would definitely recommend the hot tub suite- the views from there looked outstanding! Free tuktuk services on the hour to Kamala Beach (about 10 mins away) and shuttle bus to Patong beach (20 mins away) for 200 baht per person. Returns were also available. First come first serve for both! Overall- a highly recommended hotel!!! Thank you Hyatt!!

I just spent five days at the Hyatt and could not fault the resort itself very large pool staff are excellent especially the girls in the club lounge, The resort is just situated outside of the main shopping area of Kamala but the resort has a small shuttle bus to transport you to and from town. But be careful as there is construction work being carried out next door to the Hyatt and on there web site it mention moderate noise levels ...sorry but I had booked a Hill Top Regency Suite situated at the top of the resort and the noise was not of moderate level I would call it excessive if anything, there was heavy machinery jack hammering large boulders on the side of the hill next to the Hill Top Regency suites. and to my surprise management were no help at all in solving this problem. Would I stay at the resort again ? Yes great resort but when the construction is finished.

Wonderful experience. Thoughtful staff. Beautiful property and everything conveniently located. Style of the room was simple and perfect for a romantic getaway for a few days. The breakfast was a nice variation of traditional Thai foods but also offered international options as well from the typical Western style to Chinese.
