"The resort was very clean and the food options were delicious. I recommend the all-inclusive package for extended stays. Staff is friendly and attentive. It has a steep walk to the rooms from a the lobby but there is a shuttle service that runs all day into the late night every 5 minutes that is extremely helpful. Beautiful pools and spa facilities."

"Thavorn Beach Village was honestly one of my absolute favourite hotels we have ever stayed in. The whole place felt incredibly theatrical — from the architecture of the hotel itself to the beautifully designed gardens, it genuinely felt like being inside a movie. Every corner had so much character and atmosphere, and the surroundings were absolutely stunning. Our room made the experience even more special because we had direct access to the pool, which was next level. Being able to step straight from the room into the water felt so luxurious and memorable. The entire stay felt unique, peaceful and almost magical. It wasn’t just a hotel stay — it felt like an experience in itself. Absolutely fantastic, and definitely a place I would happily return to. ❤️"

"Loved my stay here. Hotel is wonderful and a nice calm paradise in the middle of Patong. Room was just right and my stay at the serenity pool was wonderful and not too many children, children are lovely but l enjoyed the calmer atmosphere it provided. Multiple pools give lots of options to vibe how you like and lots of other amenities available, its is certainly well catered to both families and adult travellers looking to get away. Staff wonderful and very helpful. Rooms just feel nice to be in and there was a deep soaking bath which was certainly a lovely add on after a big day touring. I loved the scents of the hand wash etc and appreciated the scented diffusers all through the hallways, a lovely touch. Lots of breakfast variety. As expected restaurants are hotel prices but lots of great options if you just want to relax for the evening. Location right in patong so everything is accessible out your front door. Patong beach is not the best Thailand has to offer but lots of people enjoying the beach and swimming and doing water activities. I highly recommend this hotel, l just cannot fault it at all. Highly recommend."
