Description
This is a massive, family-orientated resort that is also popular with tour groups, in a good setting just off the main road. Phuket Orchid Resort is all about the pools -- the main pool has a floating bar and is crossed by a footbridge, there's a pool just for kids, and a separate pool for the more expensive 'pool rooms.' Some of the design touches here are completely over-the-top, such as the gigantic Angkorian bas-relief and the elephant-shaped shower heads, but what the hell, you're on vacation. The rooms are typical, big-hotel style with all the mod cons: mini bar, safe, satellite TV, and decent balconies -- try to get one with a good view over the pools rather than one of the poorly placed ones. This is a good choice for families with young children and only a five-minute walk to the beach. Staff are friendly and professional. Rates don't include 19% tax.

Great value..We had one of the deluxe pool side rooms which opened directly on to approx. 100-mtr lap pool that only those with rooms opening onto it used. Great breakfast selection but eat after 9am when the overnight tour buses have left. This Resort is in a great location with local bars and lots of eating spots handy and just a 12min walk to Kata Beach (which is a safe beach for swimming)or 100Bht by Tuk Tuk. Although a big resort staff we excellent and the complex very clean. Will be back again.

Spread out over 55-rai, this sprawling, all-inclusive resort remains a good choice, but its glory is starting to fade. The pools are a big draw -- five of them altogether, some quite beautiful and all surrounded by almost botanical gardens, featuring statuary that ranges from the ridiculous to the... more
