Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa

Recommendation by Matt Mayer

It's the sign of a good hotel when the GM introduces himself at breakfast. It's the sign of a great hotel when you spy him later picking up random leaves that strayed onto a path. When the management cares enough about the little things it flows down to the rest of the staff. With Phuket closed to international tourists, the hotel was of course very quiet but the staff throughout provided impeccable service. We were upgraded to one of the very cool private villas with a plunge pool, perfect for your next Instagram shoot! When you are captive on a resort like this the prices of food and drink can often be heavily inflated so it was a refreshing change the prices seemed very normal, eg 60 baht for a coke, 90 baht for a coffee, and water is free every where.

Phuket, I'm Not Leaving The Resort
