Perched on a hillside above the Andaman Sea, this sophisticated resort sits on Muen-Ngern Road in Patong, offering guests an elevated retreat within easy reach of Phuket's most famous beach district without being caught up in the noise of the main strip. The property features a mix of room types including pool villas that connect to the main swimming pool, three on-site restaurants, an outdoor pool, a spa, and yoga sessions — making it a well-rounded base for both relaxation and exploration. Guests consistently highlight the warm reception from staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and grounds, and the sweeping sea views as standout features of the experience. Families travelling in larger groups have stayed here comfortably for extended periods, though it is worth noting that adjoining pool villa rooms do not have interconnecting doors — a practical detail worth considering when booking for families with young children. Room categories range from garden view to sea view, with bed and breakfast packages available. For the best experience, travellers are advised to book directly through the resort's website at crestphuket.com to review current room types and package options. As with most Phuket properties, the dry season between November and April generally offers the most reliable weather for making the most of the outdoor pool and sea view terraces.

Visitor Reviews

What a beautiful resort! Overlooking the Andaman Sea in Phuket this resort was amazing, clean, and well serviced. I have never done yoga before and when our group of 7 showed up they didn't have enough yoga mats for us but they accommodated us anyway with pool towels. It was our fault for not giving them advanced notice. The instructor was Mad, who was just the right teacher for a beginner as well as for advanced yoga participants. His assistant Bank was super helpful for me with the right touch helping me balance and assisting me with the correct poses and posture. The pool was just the right place to be after a session of yoga and it is a pool with a great view of the surroundings. Our group, as well as myself, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Crest Resort and Pool Villas.

We had such an incredible stay at The Crest that we have come back and checked in for a final night to end our stay in Thailand. From the moment we were greeted at check in by the lovely reception staff (especially Beam) we knew we’d have a wonderful time. The hotel, rooms and facilities are beautiful but what really made our stay memorable was the amazing people that work at the Crest. Joan at breakfast was absolutely lovely. We booked a sunset dinner which was made so special by Daid, Elle and Puh. The view was incredible, the food delicious and so many nice attentions to detail made it a romantic and unforgettable evening. Literally the only thing we’d change is less crispy bacon at breastfast! Thank you so much for an incredible stay. We will be back!

Fab hotel and a great place to stay close to Patong but without being in amongst the hustle and bustle of the main resort. We had a bed and breakfast package with a garden view room. The room was immaculate and pretty large, with good air conditioning. Breakfast was served as a buffet with an excellent choice of food for different diets. We traveled into Patong most evenings using the free shuttle and there’s a big selection of restaurants to choose from. Overall a nice location, with great views and yet within easy reach of other amenities. Even a 7Eleven nearby for any essentials you may need.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Book Shoulder Season

May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.

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.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
