About Craft Resort & Villas
Nestled in Tambon Ratsada within Phuket's main district, this boutique resort and villas property distinguishes itself through a standout design feature, private pool access directly from guest rooms. While the resort is marketed as having five pools, the experience is largely defined by the semi-private pool just steps from each room's back door, making it particularly well-suited to guests who prioritize relaxed, unhurried downtime over shared resort facilities.
Rooms are consistently described by visitors as clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff receives frequent praise for genuine warmth and attentiveness. The atmosphere leans toward quiet and intimate rather than lively or social, making it a strong choice for couples or independent travelers looking to unwind. Breakfast is available on-site, offering a convenient start to the day without needing to venture far. The central Phuket location keeps beaches, local restaurants, and transport links within practical reach for those who do want to explore.

We stayed at Craft Hotel with high expectations, and it truly exceeded them. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful from the very first moment — whenever we had a question or needed help, the staff assisted us immediately with a smile. As part of our booking, we also received a complimentary 60-minute massage, which was an amazing extra and made the stay even more special. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous decorations, a very clean and well-maintained pool, and spotless rooms. The service felt extra attentive throughout our stay. Honestly, the best place we’ve stayed at in Phuket. Highly recommended — we would definitely come back.
Very nice resort. I enjoyed my stay. If you want to relax, this resort is a good place to be. No need to bother going to the sea or taking the elavator to visit the pool, it is right in your back yard. The staff are so kind and friendly. The location has it up and downside to it. Up being close to Old Phuket Town, they have a free shuttle that goes up and down. Compared to kamala, patong etc. You see more of the life of the locals, which is really nice. Downside is that if you dont have your own vehicle you are dependent on taxi’s or the shuttle. I rented a scooter, so it didnt affect me that much. Great place, can defintely recommend!
Such a lovely resort! The staff is so kind and friendly. The breakfast is decent as well. The pool right outside your balcony is the perfect touch, however, no matter how much the staff cleaned the pool it wasn’t super clean. The free shuttles are a great option to have if you want to get downtown or into the city. But going into the city on your own can get a little costly as the resort is further out.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
