The Moevenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket is a small, private-feeling condo resort that's a good bet for families with children. It's located at a considerable distance from the seedier areas of Phuket and Patong, and families have access to the quiet white-sand Bangtao Beach and the peaceful grounds, which never feel crowded. The architecture and decor are understated and calm, in cream stucco and dark wood with cool pointed red-tile roofs that add a picturesque Thai aura to the property. There are fresh tropical flowers everywhere, and orchids garnish fruit baskets and soap dishes. The artwork and sculptures found in the common areas and rooms are Thai, and the menu in the on-site restaurant features authentic local cuisine. This is not the flashiest resort, but there are plenty of on-site activities, and the food is delicious and plentiful. 

The Moevenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket is located just outside the fishing and farming village of Cherng Talay, where guests can visit local temples and quality restaurants. Bangtao Beach is a two-minute walk from the hotel and there are excellent golf courses within a five-minute drive of the gate. Patong Beach and the Phuket Big Buddha are both 20 minutes by car, as are the Phuket FantaSea Theme Park, the Jungceylon Shopping Mall, and Patong’s nightlife scene. The Moevenpick offers free parking, and a rental car is recommended as there's not a whole lot within walking distance. The Phuket Airport is a 20-minute drive away. 

The Moevenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket has Classic Rooms in the main building by the lobby along with a variety of one-, two-, or three-bedroom Suites, Residences, and Penthouses. The decor is airy and modern, with a subdued color scheme and lots of wood shutters and comfortable furniture. All the lodgings are enormous, and all but the Classic Rooms have full kitchens with stoves, microwaves, dishwashers, fridges, toasters, and plenty of glasses, utensils, and cookware. Every room comes with a balcony and has either garden or lagoon views; some also have private pools. Amenities common to all room types include flat-screen TVs with Bose surround sound, safes, and free toiletries. Bathrooms are luxurious, with striking freestanding tubs (some jetted), and modern glass vessel sinks. 

The Moevenpick features a beautiful infinity pool surrounded by lounge chairs and cabanas for two, along with a hot tub and a poolside bar. There is an indoor pool by the spa, which offers a full menu of massages, treatments, and beauty services, plus a sauna and a steam room. The fitness center is spacious and equipped with free weights and cardio and weight machines. There's also a jogging track for outdoor runners. Palm Cuisine and Terrace, the hotel restaurant, serves a seasonal menu featuring fresh seafood, Thai, and western cuisine, all fresh and locally sourced, and the chef offers Thai cooking classes. Loaner bikes are also available and there's a business center along with free Wi-Fi.
