"Great location for walking and seeing the craziness of city and beach. Hotel staff was so kind and accommodating. Placed a birthday cake and decor on bed without asking or telling them. Made us feel so special. Breakfast was delicious. Poolside room is a must. Room service food was excellent Stay was 10/10. "

"Beach is amazing!! Staff helpful and courteous. Only negative is it’s built on a hill and not easy to walk around. "

"Firstly, before booking, please note that the roads leading to the resort are curvy, steep hills. Therefore, walking around to explore is not really feasible. However, the resort does provide a free shuttle to take you to Patong Beach (located at the bottom of the hill). We didn’t stay long enough to thoroughly take advantage of all the property’s amenities, but we did manage to visit the pool. Loved the swim up bar and the views were a bonus (esp during sunset). The rooms were also clean and more spacious than I had anticipated. The bed was huge and comfortable. Daily housekeeping was also available. Every staff we encountered during our stay was pleasant. Although the location was a bit inconvenient, I would definitely stay here again."

"At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself. Are you in Phuket to look at all the attractions or do you intend to stay at your resort for the entire stay. If it’s the latter, then you might want to look for another resort as this one lacks a beach front, various activities for the kids to do and so forth. HOWEVER, this resort has amazing rooms which are clean with the option for balcony to pool access. Mine also had a king bed. Enough space to swing a cat plus there is two restaurants plus a couple of activities like billiards room, kids room, spa room and cheap cocktails and cheap amazing food (which you can have room service - cocktails included). My friends stayed at the Marriot next door and that resort was huge. It had a plethora of shops, restaurants etc, but you pay through your nose for the rooms which my friends said they are tired and need a refurb. The Absolute is great value, and the money you save can be used on partying in Partong or shopping. Choice is easy I believe. "
