R-MAR RESORT AND SPA

4.4(1,196 reviews)

Tucked just off the main street in Patong, R-Mar Resort and Spa offers a calm retreat within easy reach of one of Phuket's most lively beach destinations. The property features chic rooms and suites, an elegant restaurant, a poolside bar, and a dedicated spa, making it a well-rounded base for both relaxation and exploration. Despite its central location in a busy area, guests consistently note that the resort maintains a noticeably peaceful atmosphere within its grounds. Staff hospitality is a recurring highlight in guest feedback, with the team across reception, housekeeping, and the breakfast area receiving particular praise. The breakfast service stands out as a genuine strength, and the resort's travel desk offers packages for day trips, including island excursions to nearby Phi Phi. Rooms are comfortable, though some guests note that the decor shows signs of wear, so those seeking a freshly renovated property may want to review current room photos before booking. The location is a practical advantage — small bars and restaurants sit directly outside the hotel, and Patong Beach is within easy walking distance. For travellers who want a reliable, well-staffed resort close to Patong's amenities without being in the thick of the noise, R-Mar presents a solid option. Booking directly through the resort's website is worth considering for the best available rates and package options.

Visitor Reviews

We stayed at R-Mar Hotel for 9 days and overall we were very satisfied. The hotel is really good, and the best part was definitely the breakfast. Kaew, who works in the breakfast area does an amazing job, she is very helpful, attentive, and well organized. The variety and quality of the breakfast exceeded our expectations. The hotel is located right in the center of Patong, with excellent access to everything. We initially thought it might be noisy because of the location, but it was generally very quiet. We stayed in rooms facing the pool, which might be one of the reasons. If you are looking for a quieter stay, pool-side rooms could be a better option. The rooms and the hotel in general are clean, with daily housekeeping. Free water and a few complimentary drinks are provided and refilled every day, which is a nice touch. You can also confidently book your tours through the tour office inside the hotel, they offered us good discounts and we were very happy with the tours we booked. Overall, we can easily recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness, breakfast, and friendly staff. I think for the price tag there is nothing similar in the center of Patong.

Nathan turned down my fiddy bucks tip and instead asked for my "suggestions" on how the hotel could do better. Because of that, I take this very seriously and personally, as a way to honor his humble service. Peace and quiet are this place’s bloody selling points. It feels like a retreat point from the chaos outside. That said, the soundproofing could use some work. I could still hear faint music from the pub most nights. Fix that, and this place would feel like a solid storm bunker. The TV in the room is pretty much useless. No one really watches satellite TV anymore. A smart TV with YouTube would make a lot more sense. I spotted some cheap-looking tin crackers at breakfast buffet. Honestly, they don’t belong there. Those are the main things that could be done better. Everything else was spot on. Nathan’s service made my day and was more than enough to give you guys 5/5 full marks.

We want to thank everyone, from the people who helped us with check-in at reception, the room attendants, the cleaning staff, the gardeners, the maintenance staff, the staff at the coffee bar, and the breakfast buffet staff. Everyone is very professional in what they do. The complimentary minibar is something you don't expect, but it really adds something special to your stay at this hotel. The complimentary drinks were wonderful, and the service at the spa was impeccable. Thank you all so much for your wonderful service and for helping us have an unforgettable vacation. I wish you all the best. I promise we will return and recommend you 100%.

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.
