Best Western Premier Bangtao Beach Resort & Spa

Great resort. Amazing pools , attentive and helpful stahh. Highly recommend

We stayed at the Best Western Premier Bangtao Beach Resort during EDC Thailand 2025, and it was the perfect choice. Just 15-20 minutes from Boat Avenue Lakefront, where EDC is held, the location was incredibly convenient. Beach access was amazing—we could be on the sand or in a beach chair within minutes. The resort is close to a 7-Eleven, where we grabbed snacks, drinks, and Thai Craft Beer, and used the ATM. The area also had plenty of shops for beach gear, souvenirs, and even cannabis dispensaries for those who partake. The breakfast buffet was a standout. Every morning, I enjoyed bacon, eggs, and rice topped with fish sauce, vinegar, and chilis. The condiment bar allowed me to customize my meal perfectly. While the resort’s beer selection was limited, nearby Porto De Phuket’s Tops grocery store had an incredible variety, including imported beers from the US. Although I stuck with Thai Craft Beers most of the time. Massages were affordable at just 500 THB for an hour. The staff were incredibly friendly, greeting us with smiles throughout the property. Basic English was sufficient, but a few Thai phrases made interactions even better. Our room had a small ocean and pool view, though it could be noisy from neighbors at night—earplugs helped. The beach was beautiful, and walking to nearby spots like Catch for drinks was a treat. Highly recommend for EDC attendees or first-time Phuket visitors! Be sure to download Bolt/Grab and use nearby TukTuks for convenience.

Lovely resort in excellent condition. Staff are wonderful. Pools were beautiful even tough we never went in them, we only used the beach. The only thing we wished was addressed is to have a staff member walk the beach area in front of the resort to clean the beach regularly. The garbage that floats up the beach daily, which is not the fault of the resort, but it would be better if the resort would send someone down to clean it up so guests are not swimming in it.

The hotel is nice but a little confusing for all inclusive You can’t order food at the pool bar as you have to pay but can order at the seaside restaurant and it’s included

Relaxing location, quiet and away from major nightlife but enough bars and restaurants to choose from. Hotel itself is good and the pool areas well designed and maintained. Staff are superb. Room large (deluxe seaview) and always clean. It also had adequate amenities. Breakfast was OK but range of options was a tad limited. Beach access outside of rainy season will be great I'm sure. During it high tides and rough seas prevent meaningful access. That said the full Bangtao bay is wonderful.
