Sunset Beach Resort

I liked everything about the Sunset Beach Resort, had a great stay and would recommend to friends and family.

I liked the location of the hotel in Phuket, as their logo goes, on the quiet side of Patong Beach. If you're looking for luxury, bling, all the frills etc don't go to this hotel. If you're looking for a good budget hotel, very clean, pleasant and friendly staff, reasonably priced food, room service and cocktails, and a 'pleasant surprise' when you receive your check out bill, then this is the hotel for you.The pool area is very attractive, and the half hourly shuttle service into Patong / Bangla Road is an excellent added extra service (no charge for this). I'd definitely go back and stay here again.

A very friendly atmosphere especially the reception counter staff.and we will upgrade to a junior suite. The guest service manage look after us very well.

$500 for 2x people for 10 nights in a 3 star room, king size bed, large shower and seperate bath, heavy duty user created pin lockable safe (bolted down), balcony with 2x chairs and a table, clothes mule on balcony for drying, friendly helpful staff, ability to pay fully or partially for room on checkin and partially for room service during stay (we did this so we knew how much money we needed later) laundry service very cheap/fast and efficient (might not actually be affiliated with sunset, its sort of across the road), great pool, happy hour 3-7 every day, cheap beer, big plus - free ute / 12 seats or more in back with canopy type design vehicle which runs into central Patong beach every 30min from 9-9 for pick ups an drop offs

The smell from the drains within the bathroom every now and then is disgusting, more than ok to put up with though considering the rest of the resort
