The Slate

First time staying at the Slate in Phuket and have stayed in many other hotels in Phuket and the Slate lived up to expectations, nice decor, nice spacious rooms (AC was noisy) and excellent service and food especially breakfast which was excellent. Only a short trip this time but will certainly come back.

Positives • A huge room with a bath tub and all amenities • A good level of customer service which helped us with booking a trip to the elephant sanctuary • Fantastic number of pools with one as an adult only pool and a pool bar you can swim to and which offers a half price happy hour • Only 10min drive to airport Negatives • The worst pillows I have ever had to use • The only location in 12 weeks where we suffered mosquito bites. Not entirely sure what that was down to • Hotel restaurants are very pricey Overall we'd recommend this hotel as a location very close to the airport and it is away from that touristy part of Phuket. Service is good but could be better for a 5* hotel where service should always be outstanding.

Hotel great service quite poor

Amazing hotel with great pools, well designed rooms, a few nice restaurants serving amazing dishes, good spa and great service. The hotel is right next to a nice small local village with lots of restaurants and a few shops. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back one day.

Stylish and comfortable hotel. There was a contaminate in the food served. The hotels response was defensive and underwhelming. Let down my overall impression and hindered me giving a positive review. As a result left with a less than fully positive experience.

Amazing location and setup. A real boutique hotel with gorgeous customised decor and fantastic rooms. Lovely cot for my six month old son and staff were super helpful and friendly

Too many mosquitos hovering around the grounds. Consider elsewhere if you prefer to not be around rich vegetation and plenty of insects. If you like that sort of thing, it's the perfect hotel for you.

Amazing grounds and pools, the service around the pools, kids club and sporting areas were all wonderful. Great location. Fab design. very could trips, we did the morning monk tour which was very special. All the restaurant were great. Very good breakfast. Lovely having the chilled face clothes when we were by the pools.

Amazing hotel and amazing people, give it a try u will not be disappointed

Overall it was fine and after an issue with our first room we were upgraded to a Pearl suite. The pros. - Amazing pools and garden - Tasty breakfast and an extra pus for the GLUTEN FREE section, much appreciated. - Pearl bed suite on the upper floor was great - Beach just across the road. - Great restaurants with amazing food for little money right outside the hotel on the beach. - Near the airport which was great as we arrived late and departed early. - Friendly staff - Quiet area of Phuket which was perfect for us. Cons. - Expensive to eat and drink at the hotel - Beachvery dirty. Don't understand why the hotel and locals don't try to clean it. - Our first room was a ground floor D-Buk suite. We arrived late at ni6and upon entering it stank if humidity and very poorly lit. When I started to check it was very dirty. Next morning I showed the photos to the manager who moved us to another room which was great and clean. They sent us a bottle of wine as well. My point is that when you book st a 5 star hotel I personally expect it to be clean, well maintained and smell fresh no matter which room category I book. But again was well handled.
