Independent, Patong Hotels

Had a great stay at this hotel, lovely staff. Great having a balcony that you could leave the door open at night, so you didn't have to have the aircon on. Close walking distance to all the action, we walked everywhere, without being right in it. One block back from the beach, plenty of eating places around it, ATM and money exchange end of street. We are not ones to spend a great amount of time at our hotel, as we are always out and about. About 20 min walk to Bangala rd, more after you have stopped at the many stalls on the way

Stunning location, beautiful hotel that is very modern, excellent staff and good food (especially the breakfast!). Would definitely go back and stay there again, recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay near central Phuket!

Very good location very good staff very high security good for family stay

Beautiful Hotel, friendly staff who go the extra mile without asking. Peaceful & relaxing. Excellent service all the time.

the best thing about this hotel is its staff, polite, helpful and friendly the hotel itself is well maintained, clean and in a good position, at first we thought the pool was a little small but in the end it was totally fine and perfect to relax and escape the heat. the hotel is just far enough to get a break from the night time noise but close enough to walk to the hustle and bustle of bangla road. This was our first trip to Thailand, Santosh the concierge was always there to advise us on day trips and places to visit. we (all six of us) were really pleased with ocean blue hotel and will definitely recommend and return there.

Excellent staff, was recognised by name within the first day of my stay. This was my 3rd stay at this hotel, and it is my first choice when holidaying in Phuket. I like the fact that I can walk everywhere around the main areas of Patong (remembering to take a bottle of water is a must) while walking around though. If you don't like loud music, then maybe this is not the place for you. Music from the bars and clubs nearby can be heard in some rooms of the hotel

Staff were lovely. Very close to Patong beach (across the road). Hotel was in great condition.

We went to Koh Phangan, Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi, and finally our last Island, Phuket. We wanted something nice and clean with airconditioning yet close to the actions - Paton Beach and Bangla Road. R-Mar was perfect for us. Staff was very friendly and always made an effort to help. Travel agency lady (as of 1/6/14) was very knowledgable and gave us great deals on the activities/transportations we booked. She is always available as she probably works there 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. She knows what she's doing. Be nice to her and she will be of great help with your bookings. Also, this is the first stop when getting picked up by mini vans. We were able to score the better seats when we left Phuket for Krabi in our last day when some people had to squeeze with the luggages. Overall it's a much better and relaxing experience. Of course, it reflects in the price, but I thought it's still a decent deal for what I paid for!

The pool is fantastic, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the location couldn't be better, the room was big and comfortable and very clean, there was a daybed on the deck, there was a warm "happy honeymoon" rose petal welcome on the bed, the drinks at the bar were good… literally could not think of one bad thing to say about Burasari. Fantastic!
