Island Escape Burasari – Phuket, Thailand

Details

About Island Escape Burasari

You reach this island by boat, and that's precisely what defines your entire stay. Coconut Island lies just off the east coast of Phuket – close enough for a quick transfer, but far enough away that you won't be disturbed by the usual hotel complexes. Guests are picked up at the pier and then driven across in a buggy. If you want to leave the resort every evening, you should look elsewhere. Here, they're geared towards you enjoying the island.

The rooms with pool access are particularly praised for their modern and spacious furnishings, featuring a private terrace right on the water, a large shower, and working air conditioning. Families also feel at home here, especially since the beach is clean and quiet enough for children to play safely. The hotel boasts three restaurants, including an Italian one with breathtaking views, ensuring no one has to eat the same thing twice. Several guests mention staff members by name, a testament to the excellent service.

The peak season around Chinese New Year is quite busy for an island. Those who prefer a quieter atmosphere should travel outside of this time. A walk or bike ride in the surrounding area is worthwhile.

Stay from November 3rd to 5th, 2025. Room category: Deluxe Villa with pool access. Location: Island Escape by Burasari – Coconut Island. As travel agency owners, we were there partly for relaxation and partly for sightseeing, and this resort honestly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived at the pier, everything was perfectly organized. The boat transfer was smooth and straightforward. Upon arrival on the island, a buggy was already waiting for us. The driver, Mr. Night, was extremely polite, friendly, and professional. He even gave us an easy way to contact him if we wanted to go to the restaurant or the infinity pool. He was always with us within five minutes. Check-in was seamless. We had received an email before our arrival offering online check-in and had done it in advance. Upon arrival, the process took less than ten minutes, and our luggage was already in the villa. Superbly organized. The Deluxe Villa with pool access was simply fantastic. Two levels, direct access to the pool, powerful air conditioning in all rooms (six units in total), a large TV in the living room and another in the bedroom. The lighting and electric curtains were very impressive. Even the bathroom had an electric curtain that opened onto a private garden. The technology in the villa is top-notch. Breakfast was truly 5-star quality. A wide selection, all fresh. We also had lunch and dinner at the resort, and the food was very good. Ordering via QR code is incredibly easy; you call to confirm, and delivery is prompt. The infinity pool is beautiful with stunning views and delicious drinks at the bar. There are also restaurants and a lounge near the resort. The team was very helpful via email even before our arrival, answering all my questions about the menu and what was available on the island, as it's a neighboring island. They were transparent and helpful. Such communication is rare. One small point to note: One evening, after swimming, we left the balcony door open, and two large insects flew in (because we had left it open). We called room service, and the staff arrived immediately with the necessary equipment and took care of it professionally. The smell of the insect spray was a bit strong afterward, but the problem was solved. A small gecko also appeared in the villa. This is very common in tropical areas and didn't bother me at all, but some guests might find it surprising. I would recommend increasing the preventative fumigation of the villas before guests arrive to ensure the desired level of luxury. They had also prepared a lovely "Happy Honeymoon" decoration for us, which was a very nice touch. My overall rating: 5/5. We will definitely recommend this resort to our clients and friends and would love to return.

Honestly, I don't understand the negative reviews of this resort, because our stay was absolutely fantastic. The room with pool access is very modern, beautifully designed, and spacious. Having direct pool access with our own little terrace was simply dreamy. The shower is huge, the bed incredibly comfortable, and overall the room felt luxurious and relaxing, with excellent air conditioning. Another highlight is the staff. Every single employee we encountered was incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating. You feel perfectly taken care of from the moment you arrive. The food was also great. There's a wide selection, especially at breakfast. The buffet is huge and offers something for everyone. Room service is also very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. But what truly makes this place special is the location. The resort is completely surrounded by beautiful nature and lush greenery, creating such a lovely atmosphere. It really feels like a little paradise and makes the entire stay even more unforgettable. We're really sad that today is our last day here. We had such a wonderful stay and can wholeheartedly recommend this resort to everyone. Don't let the negative reviews deter you, this accommodation is absolutely bookable.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-day stay in mid-February. The room was comfortable and exceptionally clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at two different restaurants, and the food was consistently excellent. The island was a bit busy, as expected during peak season and the Chinese New Year holidays, but the staff handled everything superbly. It's a wonderful place to relax, and I highly recommend taking a walk or bike ride around the area to visit a restaurant or meet the very friendly locals. There are also plenty of water sports and excursions available, although the island isn't ideal for snorkeling. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

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.
