The hype
Guests are obsessed with the pool and views but divided on the food prices and the steep location.
Crest Resort & Pool Villas
$150-250 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want a highly Instagrammable infinity pool and floating breakfast without the Patong chaos, but close enough to visit.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- The 240-degree Andaman Sea views from the infinity pool are genuinely world-class
- Pool Access rooms let you roll out of bed directly into the water
- It's quiet at night unlike the bass-thumping hotels in central Patong
Tóm tắt nhanh: A stunning hillside fortress that looks like a billionaire's mansion on Instagram but feels a bit like a steep, leg-burning workout in reality.
Được đánh giá bởi @explorewithkevs: I stayed in this pool villa and it was the perfect escape. Waking up, opening the curtains to the ocean, and having a floating breakfast in my own private pool was unforgettable. If you want a slow, aesthetic morning in Phuket, this is the spot.

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is the hill really that bad?
Yes. It is not a casual stroll. You will rely on the hotel shuttle, taxis, or strong calves.
Can I walk to the beach?
Tri Trang Beach is a 5-10 minute walk down, but the walk back up is strenuous. Patong Beach is too far to walk comfortably.
Is the pool water clean?
Generally yes, though heavy usage during 'pool party' hours can make it cloudy by late afternoon.
How much is the breakfast if not included?
Approximately 800 THB per person. It's rated highly ('best in Phuket' by some), so it might be worth booking a rate that includes it.
Is it suitable for elderly guests?
Not recommended due to the steep terrain and stairs, even with the buggy service.
Does the hotel offer airport transfer?
Yes, for about 1,500 THB per vehicle. Grab or local taxis are often cheaper (800-1,000 THB).
Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
There is a hidden gem restaurant called 'The Hideout' on Tri Trang beach—feet in the sand, hard to find, but worth the trek.
- ✨
The 'Happy Hour' at the pool bar often has 2-for-1 cocktails just before sunset.
- ✨
Use the 'Grab' app for transport to avoid haggling with local tuk-tuks who overcharge for the hill.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'Partial Sea View' is sometimes just a view of the building in front of you.
💡The humidity on the hill can make the hallways feel a bit damp/musty during rainy season.
💡You can hear the Muay Thai class grunts from the gym if your room is directly above it.
💡The 'floating breakfast' is cool for photos but the food gets cold fast.
💡Room service pizza is surprisingly decent and a lifesaver when you don't want to brave the hill.
