Bestill dette hvis You're a young family or group of friends who wants a fun, apartment-style base near the beach without the stuffy resort vibe.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Free boat shuttle to the private beach area is a fun novelty
- Apartment-style layouts with kitchens are perfect for longer stays
- Vibrant, colorful design that feels more 'cool hostel' than 'stiff hotel'
Hurtig oversikt: A fun, colorful playground that nails the 'vibe' but often trips over the basics like deep cleaning and soundproofing.
Gjennomgått av @wanderwithpooja: I stayed in this suite at Cassia and honestly, having a kitchen changed the game for my Phuket trip. It felt like my own colorful apartment, not just a hotel room. Perfect for chilling out after the beach.

Reality check
The 'cool' aesthetic can't hide the thin walls; you will likely hear doors slamming and hallway noise.
- You need a kitchen and separate living area for a week-long stay
- You are traveling with a dog (it's genuinely pet-friendly)
- You prefer a lively, youthful atmosphere over quiet luxury

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is it really on the beach?
No. It sits on a lagoon. You take a free 5-minute boat ride or walk 10-15 minutes to reach the actual Bang Tao beach.
Does the room smell?
It's a gamble. Many guests report a persistent musty/damp smell, likely due to the humid climate and AC systems.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate, but it's often cheaper to pay as you go. 'Brekkie' items like Congee or Eggs start around 190-260 THB.
How much is the shuttle to Patong?
There is a shuttle service to Patong and Central Floresta for roughly 100 THB per person, per way.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. There is a leash-free dog park nearby and they allow pets in rooms (fees apply).
Is there a deposit?
Yes, expect to pay a deposit of around 2,000 THB upon check-in, refundable at checkout.
Innsidetips
- ✨
The 'Mookata' buffet (Thai BBQ) at the Vista restaurant is actually a highlight—fun, interactive, and decent value.
- ✨
Happy Hour at the pool bar often runs 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' deals—check the board daily.
- ✨
Don't rely on the hotel taxi; the 'Phuket Smart Bus' stops right in front and costs only ~100 THB to get to the airport or other beaches.
5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The 'kitchen' is great but often lacks a sponge or dish soap—you might have to buy your own at the on-site mart.
💡The 'Loft' area in the loft suites is often just a beanbag space, not a full second bedroom.
💡Room service delivery sometimes comes through a 'secret' hatch/cabinet, which is cool but can be confusing.
💡The walk to Boat Avenue (restaurants) is doable but dark at night; bring a flashlight or use your phone.
💡You can use the facilities at some other Laguna resorts, but you have to ask specifically which ones are currently reciprocating.
