The Royal Phuket Yacht Club - Phuket

This guest did not leave a comment.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Royal Phuket Yacht Club is a beautiful Hotel that looks like a hotel right out of the Casablanca movie. The rooms are large and comfortable and all of them have a huge balcony that overlooks the sea. They are very well kept and clean, and we recommend a room on the sixth floor which is high enough for a great view and elevator accessible. The beach […] is right outside the front and has an area just for the hotel, which is staffed with chairs and towels from the hotel. The water is clear and warm, and a wonderful to spend a couple of days relaxing there. There is a 6-7 PM Happy Hour daily that we recommend, and the food is certainly good for breakfast and dinner. The only drawback of the hotel is that it is all by itself at the bottom of the island, so if you are looking to walk streets for food and evening nightlife, you will need to take a cab to another place to find it. However, we highly recommend this hotel for a top notch relaxing vacation. Read more

A good hotel for the price, old but pretty well kept place except for the bathroom. Everyone was trying to be nice, but their English was simply not good enough, not eventhe manager. Charge too much for the airport transportation. But still 3 min walk to the beach and the included breakfast at the restaurant over looking the ocean was very nice.

Staying at the Royal Phuket Yacht club was the perfect ending to a 2 week adventure filled vacation in Thailand. For us, this hotel was perfect - the room was amazing, full of every amenity we could hope for, with a beautiful ocean view patio. The pool and the beach are the 2 greatest assets of the hotel and we did absolutely nothing but luxuriate there […] for 3 days after our travels. The downside to the hotel is that it is tucked away and there is not much to do outside the hotel, without taking a taxi or tuk tuk into one of the towns or into Patong. We only went in to Nai Harn Village one night for dinner, because we didn't want to do anything -but if you want location approximate to night life or activities, this might present a problem. Also - the buffet breakfast was very good - except for 2 of us each morning (we ate 3 breakfasts) the cost was 1365 baht, almost $50 USD! Food at this resort was very over priced, and they are somewhat delusional to think their quality can rival US quality - but, the view and the convenience were how we rationalized the cost. Drinks are also very expensive, but if you walk down the beach you can sit on the beach and order a Singha beer for 100 baht, rather than the 275 they wanted at the hotel and there are some good Thai restaurants right on the beach within walking distance. Overall, we loved this hotel, and wish we could have had a few more days on the beach! Read more

The Royal Phuke Yacht Club is a very nice hotel and if you are looking for a nice relaxing and quiete vacation the perfect spot. The hotel is some years old, which you for sure can see, but I have to say it is well maintained and you do not feel the age. The location is right on the beach with a nice and easy access. Ok, the "hotel beach" was not available […] half the time, because the water was to high and the hotel has only a small area at the beginning of the beach which was flooded all the time. But who cares, the beach was big enough and the 100 bath for a sun bed was really not worth talking. :-) The breakfast was nice, even though it got a bit boring after a while, as it was the same every day. They should try to get more tables, as we had to wait almost every second day, as no table was availabe, but only for some minutes and when you are on vacation, time has a different meaning for me. The food in the hotel was really way to expensive, as just in front of the hotel there are a lot of nice restaurants where you pay about 1/10 of the price then in the hotel and the food was very nice outside. A big highlight was the balcony which is really huge and very nice to sit in the evening and look at the sea. I would reccomend the hotel, but do not expect a lot of action, as Nai Harn beach is very quiete and nothing is going on. Andreas and Maisa Read more

There are only two other hotels nearby so Nai Harn Beach isn't crowded and is a great little surf beach. Fourth stay at RPYC and we have travelled quite a bit in Thailand - you would be hard pressed to beat this for value for money. Too far from Patong if you want all-night parties but ideal for a beach holiday, with sun, surf, nice rooms and good food. […] Needs a lick of paint here and there in some general areas and they could do something good with the conference room type areas, which look on the bay and seem unused, but the rooms are great, all with views over the beach. French chef has been there for quite some time and we're sure he's the inspiration behind the outstanding bakery products in the restaurants! Read more

Outstanding hotel in an outstanding location. Staff could not have done more to make this trip any better.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hi All, On the plus side: We stayed there for 6 nights in April 2011. In general their service was great. The staff were friendly and courteous. This is the kind of place where you want to get away from people and relax. If you are looking for such a place then it is great. The view from the balcony overlooking the bay is fantastic and inviting. On […] the minus side: It is far from places like Patong beach (which is the main tourist hang out). Getting around from this hotel to other towns may be costly and I would suggest that you negotiate with taxi driver before jumping into the cab or hire a scooter. The food at the hotel is a bit expensive - but not to worry there are plenty of places in walking distance with great food. Watch out for the laundry bill - very high :) There are people who do that for cheaper. I would urge you to go snorkelling - there is a small Island there - totally worth it. There are also a lot of nice places for massages and so on very close by. So to sum up. If you are the type of person who likes clubbing and the night life I would recommend not staying at this hotel but choosing a hotel in Patong, Kata or Karong beach. But if you are the type of person who wants a bit of peace and quite and a more tranquil stay then I recommend this place. I enjoyed my stay here and hope you do too. Read more

After four days we spent in Movenpick Karon Beach Hotel before Tai New Year The Club seemed like paradise. Cozy corner of happiness and relaxation. Perfect deluxe room with private sunny 30 m2 terrace and walnut parquet. Excellent food! Take a car for couple days to all hidden places in Phuket. 5 days will be enough. Budget will bring the car free of […] charge. Thanks specially to Diane and Paul. Read more

We spend three nights during the Chrismas of 2010 in Royal Phuket Yacht Club. We liked the pictures, the view and the location based on what we saw online. Upon arrival we found out the Hotel was extremely dated, carpets were filty with huge steins and dirt all over. Bathrooms very old and filty. They did not change the dirty towels with large steins […] from the day before! We left the towel on the floor to be changed and they just folded them and put them back for us to use. This Hotel was the most expensive and the worse hotel that we stayed at during our trip to Thailand. We traveled to Bangkok and Chiang Mai and both hotels in those cities were beautiful and had friendly staff. Things were clean and service was excellent. This hotel was by far the worse we experienced. I would not recommend this hotel. They don't help with anything in the island or even finding a taxi. All other hotels provided excellent service and we had a point of reference in that country. This Hotel was a big disappointment. I wonder how they received their 4.5 stars! This hotel should have a maximum 2 star rating based on what they offer. Read more

Location was too far away from central Kata, Karon and Patong - noisy air-conditioning :)

this hotel is great, good food provided by a french chef with all food items of a very high quality. Staff and hotel excellent. Beach also a delight as was the panarama, such a change from the noisy/ loud other towns in Phuket. One negative was the dominence of Russian visitors, many of whom were obviously not acoustomed good behaviour with concern […] for others and had no interest in controlling their kids at meal times. my Russian girlfriend interviened and offered advice on behaviour which solved the issues, we will go again Read more

My husband and I decided to spend a night in Nai Harn beach as we wanted to visit Promthep Cape and our other planned hotel was at the other end of the island! This hotel (RPYC) was such a pleasant surprise! They upgraded my standard room to a suite upon check in and it had the most amazing view of the Andaman! The hotel was also very well maintained […] despite the age (20+ years old) and I really really loved the terrace which faced the sea. I'm definitely coming back! :) Read more

absolutely stunning. It far exceeded our expectations. It was breathtaking and the staff couldn't do enough to help. We liked the uniqueness of the resort, and the closeness to the beach. The culture of Thailand was very obvious and made our experience just beautiful. We are already planning a return visit, some day, as it was everything that a beautiful […] Thai holiday should be. Try the breakfast on the verandah to take in the paradise, and the tropical food is just fantastic. The resort is also close to village and facilities as well. Only problem, is that the resort is quite far from major tourist attractions, but we just worked around that. We will definitley come back, especially for a romantic get away. Read more

This was our first experience of Phuket and also the Royal Phuket Yatch Club. We were in an Ocean view superior room on the second floor. The view was impressive even on this level. The terrace is huge and very private. On our 3rd day a family checked into the room above us and had a small child who took great delight in running up and down the terrace […] which could be heard in our bedroom below as a loud thump thump thump... not pleasant at 6am in the morning when you are trying to sleep! Thankfully they were only there a couple of days. A ban on under 12s at this resort would suit us as a couple looking for rest and relaxation from inconsiderate people. The staff at the Club are outstanding. They have a splendid buffet breakfast with a magnificent setting above the beach in an open air covered dining area. The beach itself is superb. The water clear and warm. The resort provides two rows of beach recliners under umbrellas at the resort end of the beach, with towels provided. There is a small gym in the Club which is adequate for a light workout but it is overdue for an update. A larger gym with more equipment would be most welcome. If you are looking for a retreat with sun, sand, beach, and relaxation, I can thoroughly recommend this place. We will definately be returning. We were also very fortunate with the weather.. being August we expected some rain but apparently the monsoon period ended early this year so we had 8 days of perfect sunshine. Bliss! Read more

Great hotel with professional and friendly staff. Location ideal for a relaxing getaway and hassle free holiday.

Stayed at the Royal Phuket Yacht for nine very relaxing days over the Easter period. Had a terrific time, couldn't be more pleased with the hotel and the staff. We had a toddler and the staff were very attentive to our needs, especially the staff in the restaurant every morning at breakfast, which was brilliant. Such a wide variety of food, definately […] something for everyone! Tips. 1. Get a cab to and from the airport, as the hotel transfer is too expensive. 2. Hire a car and explore the local area. Patong, Karon and Kata are very close with a wider selection of restaurants than Nai Hahn Beach provides, many of them better and cheaper. They got us a hire car for a week with a child seat for a great price from the front office. This gave us the option of driving to check out different things like feeding Elephants or the aquarium at Phuket Town if we wanted a change from swimming in the beautiful pool or the private beach. Highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again. Read more

Supreb location in quieter area in Phuket, own private and clean beach. Public rooms, gym and pool area fantastic. Bedrooms are a little jaded, more than compensated by the view of the bay and sea that each has. Breakfast was a feast, taken in open air with view over balcony towards sea. Staff always extremely attentive and helpful in hotel and on private […] beach area. Cocktail hour can be highly recommended, feel like millionaire sitting watching the sunsets! Food in evening restaurant little pricey but very good. Many alternative places to eat within walking distance. Recommend using hotel aiort transfer service - little expensive but adds touch of class and great service. Read more

The hotel is in a charming position and the staff are delightful, but although the gardens are well kept, maintenance is lacking. For example, the beach umbrellas are rusting away and some are unusable. Decorations are left to deteriorate, repairs left undone. The beach area is not well kept, not served well by the hotel, the loungers are old and dirty […] and no service is evident. Such a shame as this is a beautiful location. It seems the whole place needs a healthy injection of capital to keep it going. But if you want to savour the remains of a bygone age then do it soon before it declines too far to enjoy. Read more

In order to fully enjoy your stay, forget the star ratings. The Royal Phuket Yacht Club is not a perfect 5 star hotel, but it is a beautiful hotel with a unique atmosphere of it's own. The surroundings of the hotel are very green with a hillside with plamtrees and a great view over Nai Harn beach. Nature is everywhere. Inside the hotel and the hallways […] there are plenty of palmtrees, flowers and other plants. You get to see a lot of harmless, wonderful creatures of tropical nature like birds, snails, gekkos, butterflies, frogs and bats around the hotel. We started the mornings with a fabulous breakfast, and enjoyed the unique atmosphere of the Quarterdeck restaurant and lobby in the evenings. Just beautiful! We liked Nai Harn beach. It is clean, it is beautiful, it's not overcrowded or overdeveloped, and it's just one step away from the hotel. If you don't want to swim in the sea, the hotel has a beautiful if somewhat smallish pool area with great views over the bay. We loved our stay at The Royal Phuket Yacht Club, and Nai Harn beach was the best beach for us in Phuket. The Nai Harn area is "anti-Patong" in a very pleasant way. Read more

Really nice beach, very good free breakfast, and beautiful lobby/dining area. However, the hotel is far from airport/patong, AC in our room smelled like mold, and price was more than the value we received. I would not recommend someone to stay there.

This is a lovely hotel in an absolutely idealic location. The rooms are spacious and the private balcony provides magnificent views over the prettiest bay in Phuket. The hotel is getting a little tired and in need of a facelift in many places. The staff were very attentive and friendly but sometimes not very informative. The beach is magnificent and […] nice and quite away from the rush and hassle. The food in the restaurants was good but a little overpriced as was the wine. We were there for New Years Eve and booked in for the gala funtion in the main dining room. At 10,000 Baht it was very expensive and very poor value for money with no drinks included and very poor quality entertainment. This was the only disappointment for us in a truly magnificent spot.

This was the first 5* hotel built in Phuket (as I learned from Paul, the guest services manager). A little tired in places but overall a superb hotel in terms of location (pretty bay area etc), service, food, room sizes etc. I still miss having breakfast looking at one of the best views available with 100% attentive service. Paul deserves a special […] mention; a man who can fix almost anything ranging from scooters to shows to informal snorkelling trips to nearby Coral Island. I hope to go back. The sea is like a bath with some limited rocks / coral to snorkel over too. Friendly locals, massage for under £10 an hour - who could ask for more? Enjoy! Read more

带爸妈去度假，真是太难忘的假期了。酒店非常美，最爱大露台，风景无敌，奈汉沙滩最干净最美了，不喜欢珊瑚岛、皇帝岛的沙滩。可以包酒店的车出去玩，其实酒店位置不错的，离景点都还算近，就是周边没什么东西，要依赖酒店的设施。反正我会再去，下次去就住在酒店玩，享受度假。

The Royal Phuket ist immer noch ein super 5-Sterne-Hotel mit hervorragendem Service. Natürlich ist die Einrichtung nicht so modern wie bei einem frisch eröffneten Desginer-Hotel, aber die Aussagen, dass das Hotel "abgewohnt" ist, ist schlichtweg falsch. Wir haben in unserem Zimmer (die Junior Suite) nirgends irgendwelche Abnutzungsspuren gesehen. Die […] Lage ist nach wie vor ein Traum, aber im Vergleich zu unserem letzten Besuch vor 5 Jahren sind nun am Strand doppelt so viele Sonnenschirme und liegen. Nai Harn Beach ist nun leider kein verträumter und einsamer Ort mehr. Auch findet man zunehmend Osteuropäische Touristen, die sich aber vermutlich wegen der hohen Preisklasse durchaus zivilisiert benehmen und nicht unangenehm auffallen, wie das von anderen Orten in Phuket berichtet wird.

It was my second visit to this hotel and the stay was good overall. However, the breakfast was overpriced. If they could not upgrade the quality of their breakfast, I think they should lower the breakfast price. Service was generally good. The only exception was that their housekeeping staff knocked our door twice during our stay, and in both times, […] they tried to open our door before we reached the door. Had we not latched the door, they would have come into the room already. We were not slow in reaching the door. So I think the staff simply didn't have a good sense of the importance of privacy, or they cared more about efficiency or their own time, than respect for customers. I have reflected this to the hotel's reception staff and the lady there responded that they would remind their staff. Read more

The private terrace of the room was a big bonus -- we sat on the lounge chairs at the terrace for star gazing at night! The sea view at day time was marvellous too.
