Location.
Great food.
Privacy. The Yacht Club's sublime atmosphere made for a holiday we did not want to end. The location, the comfort of the rooms and the lovely out- of- their- way helpfulness of the staff made for a very easy stay.
The food was exceptional- it was a joy to look forward to dinner, at a different restaurant each night. The Yacht Club will be our favourite place to holiday, when complete relaxation is called for.
Restaurant Tip : The Promenade Restaurant served superb food- it exceeded expectations for a beach restaurant. The food could not be faulted at any of the restaurants!

Our stay in Nai Harn was, we can easily say,the best holiday we have ever had. The hotel staff were exceptional very very pleasant and more than helpful.
They are the making of the Royal Yacht Club and the hotels biggest asset.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : James Bond Island Trip was great.

1. Right on the beach.
2. Best view one could imagine.
3. Great value.
4. Private balcony. Since 2003, we have stayed there every year. It is our favorite hotel. We have tried other ones on Phuket, however, when you have stayed at the Yacht Club, that is where you want to stay. Next month I will be booking again. I book very far in advance, since I don't want to miss getting a room there.
See you next October.
Restaurant Tip : If you decide not to eat at the hotel, there are a few very nice places right around the corner. (Local places with great food)

Staff attention to detail. Just amazing. The cleanliness of the beach. The location is fantastic for folks not particularly looking for the spring break party town influence that Phuket has a reputation for. Rooms are amazing. All of the food is amazing. I simply can not come up with any. Amazing hotel. Fantastic staff. Great location. Our room's balcony was twice the size of the generously sized room. The pool was lovely. The curve of beach reserved for the hotel is perfect. We tried the Thai buffet special on Weds night and though pricey for Thailand, was probably some of the best food I've ever had. The breakfast buffet daily was always perfect (this hotel knows how to buffet...). Everything about our stay was perfect.
Restaurant Tip : The places along the beach serving food are actually not bad at all and are a nice price change from the hotel. You only have to walk a hundred meters out of the grounds to save a ton of money. However, any of the food you do get at the hotel is spectacular.

The Royal Phuket Yacht Club was amazing. The service was wonderful, the staff was friendly, and everything was clean and well prepared. The view was beautiful, the sand on the beach was soft and there were waves for entertainment. The food was exceptionally well prepared for Thailand (including the breakfast). I live and work in Thailand and I am giving my visiting parents the full tour, and thus far it is the best hotel we have stayed at. For the younger crowd, this is NOT the best destination. Honeymoon, lovers get away or you just need to escape the hustle of the large cities this is a wonderful option. The hotel is very quiet as well as the beach. It is far away from everything and transportation is expensive (~600 baht to or from somewhere). I had no where to go at night while my parents were passed out on the bed. Wonderful experience! Great staff, food, beach, and room view.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Do not see FantaSEA! The show was okay, but the meal and attractions outside of it was a joke.

good sea views from all rooms....which are large and spacious. needs urgent refurbishment the hotel is located in a quiet area of phuket on the south west point. you need transport if u want to see the rest of phuket.
the hotel has been through 3 sets of management since i knew it, mandarin then meridien and now local. the hotel urgently needs refurbishment as its old. food is western style. internet in the room is grossly expensive whereas most bangkok hotels provide it for free.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : go up the mountain above Chalong....views are wonderful and there are no tourist trappings.

quiet location ... beautiful view from the hotel and all its rooms hotel is old..... new owners unable to produce quality ..food is too western. First Mandarin group of Singapore, then Meriden and now a Thai Owner. The hotel property is old and urgently needs refurbishment/replacement.
Food is boring an due to the hotels remote location you need transport to get to restaurants around the island.
Extras eg internet transport etc are very expensive.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : go to the islands.....phuket is over developed and crowded.

Excellent restaurant, Great staff, big rooms , nice pool and spa On of the best hotel in south of phuket.
It can be seen that a lot of thinking went in to planning and building the hotel.
From the reception, restaurant and the rooms and spa. Everything is planned for maximum guest comfort.
The hotel is a bit old but the great location from the beach for those cuple who want to be alone.
Breakfast is very diverse. And there is a great seefood buffet on Sundays
Clean big room with all the needed services . bath room is a little old and in need of renovation
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Close to a great view point.

location was the selling point. Great for getaways. Nice beach. Good staff. Need more internet computers in the lobby so there are time limits. Did not get to see the tennis courts but I would have loved to play. Service was great. The balcony was a highlight of the room. My room also had a nice wood decking. Need to include free internet in the rooms.

The staff were very friendly right from the minute we pulled up Porters, reception, dinning room staff & even Maintainance staff. Very clean & airy rooms with a great big balcony. Breakfast in a morning was wonderful. Only weakness I found was internet for your own computors was payable. Also in the morning for breakfast there were not enough tables at peak time of around 9.00am although there was not a long wait. There were 5 of us in our party using 3 rooms in August 09 so we got to compair each others rooms, the quality of the room was excelant all being the same except for 1 having a smaller balcony than the other 2. Although smaller this was large enough for the 5 of us to meet on at night and entertain ourselfs with drinks ect. The staff was fantastic they realy put them self out to talk to you and ensure that every things was as it should be. We left there hoping the next hotel would be as good.
Restaurant Tip : Dons restaurant was only 3km away from hotel was fabulas & well worth a visit real good food at very good prices.

location of hotel on naiharn beach, very helpful nice staff, free breakfast, the views. there aren't many places to eat around the hotel so you'll pretty much be stuck with the restaurant at the hotel for your entire trip unless you leave the area. this hotel is located on a cliff on naiharn beach and although it is a bit a ways from town, it gave us exactly what we were looking for: beach, beach and more beach. they privately own a portion of the beach so you don't need to worry about anything. also, the trip to ko phi phi island is very nearby since most boat leave from the southern tip. the views from the restaurant are breathtaking. room service prices are also reasonable.
Travel tip : there is a shop just down the road where they can do laundry for very cheap. they also arrange cheaper taxi rides to the airport and can help you with arrangements for any tours. we did all three with them and they gave us a sweet deal.

Classy hotel with unique features such as breathtaking view from every room on sea and into tropical vegetation as built into hillside (kind of tsunami proof), spacious balconies, walk-in shower. Delicious breakfast: plenty of fresh fruit, Italian style coffee, smoked salmon etc. Assistance by front desk leaves room for improvement. No help in arranging transportation. Lack of generosity.
Location off the beaten track. Hotel limousine excessively priced, private taxis also grossly overcharging. No other options. Visited Royal Phuket Yacht Club 20 years ago and was impressed. Made same experience end of August 2009 during my 6 days' stay together with my daughter. There is a noble calm about the hotel. Everything is descreet and first class. The Thai style airy lobby with its rattan furniture, palm trees and orchids open to the turquoise sea below, gives the feel of colonial splendour. At night it all becomes even more enchanting as the spot lights enhance the tropical atmosphere. The sea is picture-book like. There is perfect hotel service at the beach. The rooms are 5 star standard with excellent airconditioning. Free DVD rental was an additional plus. Wholeheartedly recommend Royal Phuket Yacht Club to any appreciative traveller of above qualities and look forward to returning myself.
Hotel Feature Tip : In-room DVD player and free DVD rental.

liked the private beach. Hotel rooms were nice and view was simply great. Food needs some improvement, particularly the breakfast Stay was comfortable; I simply loved the view from the room, hotel staff was generally hospitable and room service was very quick. There are no activities on the hotel beach which makes it more appealing to people who just want to relax. Food menu requires some improvement as there is little or no choice for vegetarians
Overall experience was good.
