V Beach Resort – Phuket, Thailand

Details

About the V Beach Resort

Located off Highway 4233 in Kathu, V Beach Resort is a budget-friendly resort hotel in one of Phuket's more accessible inland districts. Its location provides easy access to the island's beaches, as well as Kathu's diverse restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. This makes it an ideal base for travelers looking to explore Phuket on a budget.

However, travelers should approach this property with realistic expectations. Guest reviews repeatedly point to deficiencies regarding room cleanliness, maintenance, and service quality. Reported problems include unclean rooms upon arrival, broken bathroom fixtures, a malfunctioning air conditioner, and pool safety issues. Guests also report overbookings and disputes over room allocation that were not satisfactorily resolved by staff. These observations suggest that the property is not currently able to provide a consistently comfortable stay.

Google reviews

A cheap but run-down hotel. The pool is dangerous, as half of it is made of loose tiles and there are no safety barriers. It's very deep, while the shallow area is very small. However, renovations started today, so hopefully it will improve soon. The rooms are dated but clean. The door locks on the ground floor can be opened with a sneeze. Security isn't an issue, though, as there are many security cameras. The location is 30 minutes from the city (heavy traffic), and the journey costs about 300 baht. Tuk-tuks are overpriced, costing 500-1000 baht. Use Grab or the local app Bolt instead. There are some good restaurants and a 7-Eleven nearby. The staff was very friendly and quickly resolved all our issues. If you're looking for a budget hotel, this is the place to go.

The accommodation is fine if you're looking for a budget-friendly option. However, we had booked a room with a pool/garden view but were given a room facing a wall instead. When we brought this up, we were told that no other rooms were available. This shows that advance reservations with specific amenities are not guaranteed here. We also requested a chair or drying rack for wet clothes, which is normally provided in all rooms but was missing in ours. I followed up with the staff repeatedly over two days, and each time I was promised it would be taken care of in "30 minutes." Unfortunately, those 30 minutes turned into two days (or more).

Room service was very poor and slow. The room wasn't clean upon our arrival. The bathroom fixtures leaked, making our stay very unpleasant. The air conditioning didn't work properly, especially at night. Furthermore, there wasn't enough drinking water provided. Overall, there is an urgent need for improvement in maintenance and service. We were not satisfied with our stay.

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.
