The 241-room, upper-mid-range Peach Hill Hotel & Resort is a family-friendly spa resort located on a hill on the west coast of Phuket, with gorgeous views of the mountains and the Andaman Sea. Peach Hill sits just above Kata and Karon Beaches, with a free beach shuttle to the former, but it also has three lagoon-style pools (two with swim-up bars) for those who want to hang out at the hotel and take in the views. The three restaurants all serve organic, locally sourced cuisine. Rooms are breezy and spacious, although housekeeping can be spotty and there's a fee for in-room Wi-Fi.

On a prime seaside location along a quiet stretch of Kata Noi Beach, this 479-room luxury resort looms large, with six pools, bars, and restaurants across the grounds.

The Shore at Katathani is an upscale, 36-room villa hotel that caters mainly to couples and honeymooners. Its private location, tucked away in a cove along Kata Noi Beach, adds to the hotel's intimate, beachy atmosphere. Guests spend most of their time lounging beside their private plunge pools or in oversize daybeds facing the ocean at the main infinity pool. While the property, which includes a small spa and oceanfront restaurant, does not allow children under the age of 12, its sister property, Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, about a 10-minute walk along the beach, is family-friendly.

A narrow hotel set on one of Patong’s main roads, the mid-range Aspira Prime Patong represents a sweet little boutique alternative to the mega resorts it neighbors. At just 55 rooms it has limited features and public spaces, but a small swimming pool, mini gym, and a breakfast room meet most guests’ requirements. Rooms are also rather straightforward, but they’re pleasantly done up in contemporary decor. Still, they are missing some of the standard amenities offered by other mid-range hotels, such as robes, slippers, coffee/tea facilities, and umbrellas. The central location, walking distance to both the beach and Bangla Road, means travelers are close to all of Patong's main attractions. Those looking for a boutique property with more punchy design could consider The Crib Patong.

This mid-range hotel in the center of Patong is close to the nightlife on Bangla Road, but still far enough away that guests can actually sleep. With 105 rooms that range in size from Standard to a super spacious Family Duplex, guests will appreciate modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, air-conditioning, and electric kettles with coffee and tea equipment. Some rooms show a little wear and tear, but they're kept clean. Two small pools are best used for dipping. For the price, which doesn't include Wi-Fi or breakfast, this isn't the best deal in the Patong area, but it's a clean and convenient place to sleep.

The 21-room Baan Yin Dee Boutique Resort is a three-and-a-half-pearl property situated on a hilltop overlooking the Andaman Sea. It's a quiet, peaceful place but is only a 10-minute walk or short ride from Patong Beach. Rooms are spacious and decorated in a traditional Boran Thai style, though the look is a bit fusty and dark. All have a balcony or terrace, and some offer direct access to the lovely four-tiered infinity pool, also with beautiful views of the sea. Rice Restaurant serves all meals in a nice open-air space with indoor and outdoor seating. There's no spa, but massage services are available in guest rooms or by the pool. Burasari Resort is a similarly priced alternative -- rooms there are more modern and it has an on-site spa plus free breakfast.

The upper-middle-range Seaview Patong Hotel is not directly on the beachfront, but it does have the sea views its name suggests, and it's less than a minute's walk from Patong’s sand. Situated at a quieter end of the beach, the hotel is a bit removed from the resort town, but it is within a 15-minute walk of the restaurants and the area's well-known nightlife. The 141 rooms feel cramped and lack character, while bathrooms in particular are small and worn, especially in the lower room categories. The overall decor feels heavy and dated, with dark wood leaching out any brightness. The buffet breakfast is good, but other food available on-site gets mixed reviews. A better option could be the Holiday Inn Resort Phuket, which has stylish, up-to-date rooms.
