About Craft Resort & Villas

Nestled within Tambon Ratsada in the heart of Phuket, this boutique villa resort boasts a standout design feature: direct access to a private pool from each guest room. While the resort advertises five pools, the experience is largely defined by the semi-private pool located just steps from each room's back door. This makes it particularly suitable for guests who prefer tranquil, undisturbed relaxation to the resort's communal facilities.

Guests consistently describe the rooms as clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff is frequently praised for their warm and attentive manner. The atmosphere is more tranquil and intimate than lively or sociable, making the hotel a good choice for couples or solo travelers seeking relaxation. Breakfast is served at the hotel, providing a convenient start to the day without having to go far. Thanks to its central location in Phuket, beaches, restaurants, and transportation links are easily accessible for those wishing to explore the area.

    We had high expectations for the Craft Hotel, and they were exceeded. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful – whenever we had a question or needed assistance, the staff were immediately at our side with a smile. Our booking also included a complimentary 60-minute massage, which was a wonderful extra and made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel is beautiful, with stunning decor, a very clean and well-maintained pool, and immaculate rooms. The service was exceptionally attentive throughout our entire stay. Honestly, it was the best accommodation we've ever stayed in in Phuket. Highly recommended – we will definitely be back.

    A truly beautiful resort. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. If you're looking to relax, this is the perfect place. You don't have to walk to the beach or take the elevator to the pool, as it's located right behind the building. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location has its pros and cons. One advantage is its proximity to Phuket Old Town, where a free shuttle bus runs. Compared to places like Kamala or Patong, you get a much better feel for local life here, which is very pleasant. One disadvantage is that without your own vehicle, you're reliant on taxis or the shuttle bus. I rented a scooter, so this wasn't a major issue for me. A fantastic place, highly recommended!

    What a lovely resort! The staff are very nice and friendly. The breakfast is also decent. The pool right in front of the balcony is a great bonus, although despite all attempts at cleaning, it wasn't really clean. The free shuttle buses are fantastic if you want to go downtown or to the surrounding area. However, since the resort is located a bit outside the city, a trip into town on your own can be rather expensive.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
