APK Resort & Spa

Air conditioning comes in every room at APK Resort & Spa, and room sizes run from 18 m² to 80 m². Several rooms have a city view, and the Honeymoon Suite has a whirlpool bathtub. Occupancy runs from two to four guests, with the Junior Suite sleeping up to four.

Some rooms have a private entrance, and rooms can also have a balcony or terrace, an in-room safe box, a refrigerator or a desk, depending on the room. Blackout curtains are fitted in some rooms, while coffee and tea makers and free bottled water are available in others. Some rooms offer a choice of bed set-ups, so the layout depends on the room you choose.

The resort has an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor swimming pool, a spa with sauna, and massage treatments. Dining includes restaurants, a bar and a coffee shop, with room service also available and a buffet breakfast served.

Guests can arrange tours, car hire and taxi service, and there is an airport transfer. The 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, laundry service and business facilities are available, along with meeting and banquet facilities. An elevator serves the building, free parking is on site, and a babysitting service is offered. Daily housekeeping, dry cleaning and a postal service are also offered, and English and Thai are both spoken. Safety deposit boxes and a cash withdrawal service are available too.

Patong is the best-known beach town on Phuket, with a long sandy beach lined with hotels, restaurants and bars. APK Resort & Spa is in the town itself, 750 m from Patong Beach and 550 m from Bangla Road, the street that comes alive after dark, so the sand and the nightlife are both within a short walk. The streets around the beach are busy with street-food stalls and massage shops, and the hotel's pools and spa offer a quieter option for an afternoon.

Jungceylon Shopping Center is 300 m away, and the Banzaan Fresh Market, an evening market with food stalls, is a short walk away. Bangla Boxing Stadium, where Muay Thai bouts are held, is also nearby. Further afield, Big Buddha Phuket, a large hilltop statue, is 7.4 km away, and Kata Beach lies further along the coast. Phuket International Airport is 24.2 km away.

A full day here can start on Patong Beach, continue with shopping at Jungceylon, and finish with the night market before an evening on Bangla Road or at a Muay Thai bout. Taxi service and an airport transfer are available for trips further afield, and Big Buddha Phuket makes a separate outing, since the statue sits on a hill some way from the beach.
