The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa Patong Phuket

4.1(2,768 reviews)

Situated on Rat Uthit Road in the heart of Patong, this established hotel and spa property serves as a practical base for exploring one of Phuket's busiest tourist districts. The central location puts guests within easy reach of Jungceylon shopping centre, a wide range of restaurants, massage parlours, and the beach, making it a convenient choice for visitors who want key amenities on their doorstep. The on-site restaurant offers a straightforward dining option without needing to venture out, and staff are consistently noted for their friendliness and helpfulness. The property has built a loyal following over the years, with repeat visitors returning specifically for the location and service. Guests should be aware, however, that the interior décor reflects the hotel's age and that some rooms lack modern conveniences such as easily accessible charging points. Those with specific requirements around updated facilities are advised to review room options carefully before booking, as experiences can vary. Good to know: Patong's peak season runs from November to February, when demand for accommodation is at its highest and prices reflect this. Booking well in advance during this period is recommended. The hotel sits on one of Patong's main roads, so lighter sleepers may want to request a room away from the street-facing side of the building. For any excursions to temples in the wider Phuket area, modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is required, so packing accordingly before arrival will save time.

Visitor Reviews

Great place to stay, it is close to local laundromats, chemists, massages, restaurants and entertainment. Great entry and lovely staff at the door. There is a nice restaurant in there too. The lifts oversee the gorgeous beach as you approach the higher levels. The in room service is efficient also, along with the morning breakfast. I would like to have express - the rooms are great however they’re slightly run down. They’re fully functional however if you want that touch of that 5 star experience this may be a compromise, as the baths are slightly run down, and the architecture requiring updating. However overall 5 STAR.

Great place to stay. The hotel is conveniently located close to tourist facilities such as restaurants, massage parlors, and shopping areas like Jungceylon, which is only an 8-minute walk away. I would like to give special appreciation to a staff member named Addon. From day 1 until day 3, he served us with great kindness, professionalism, and thoughtfulness. We stayed from 31/01/26 to 02/02/26 and really enjoyed our breakfast at Coconut Restaurant. The breakfast buffet was awesome — all the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

I have only stayed at the Royal Paradise Hotel in Patong. My last visit was in 2019, I have stayed a total of 8 times at this hotel over the past years. Hotel is great, needs a refreshed look, only the pool area was done looks great. A few negatives, we stayed at the pool area, excellent room, only problem us very bad wifi, the hotel did inspect but still a problem, very difficult to get work done. Also safety is a concern, I went for a swim left my sunglasses at the pool edge, I was in the water for 1 hour plus, when I got out my sunglasses was stolen, I reported it but pool staff did not care at all, I then reported to main reception they have 1 very bad camera that can not see who stolen it, very bad for a hotel to have so bad security. Please be careful of your valuables, at Royal Paradise either staff or Hotel guest can steal. Hotel is great but needs some fine tuning. I hope this honest review helps you.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
