Overall we had a pleasant stay at Bangtao Village Resort. This is not a luxury resort, simply a comfortable stay. Our room / villa has a good amount of space and was clean. The staff were friendly and we used the pool while we were there. Breakfast consisted of tea / coffee, eggs, "bacon", toast & fruit, which was perfectly adequate for us.

I was ill for a couple of days whilst staying here, so appreciated the relative bug free-ness of the rooms and the couple of english tv channels that they had. The free wifi in our room was also a bonus!

On the slightly negative side, the shower has hot water but only stays hot for about 30 seconds, you need to constantly adjust the taps to get the right temperature and again it will last 30 seconds before needed to be adjusted again (this however could just have been specific to our room). Also, although the rooms were bug free overall, we had a few ants climbing up the walls a couple of times and a couple of geckos living behind the tv during our stay! None of this stuff really bothered us however.

On the whole I would stay here again if I was ever in Bangtao. However Bangtao itself is not a place I would visit again. We chose to stay here for the surfing and the beach and expected Bangtao to be a small beach resort, but it was like a ghost town. There were barely any visitors around and the majority of the beach was unusable due to high tide. The only part of the beach that it was possible to sun bathe on was outside the Dalar resort and there were only a handful of deck chairs. There are no eateries on the beach like any other resorts either. It is probably because we travelled in September (which is a rainy month,) but we are not sure, since we expected some sign of good surfing and nice beach-ing which was publicised on a surf school website however we found none.

Travelled in Sept 2011 as a couple.

Just returned from 2 nights in PEAK season and paid about 5000baht for a 2 bedroom place. ITs tradional that style which is nice but the cottages are close together and the outlook either side of the property is of scruffy waste land. Hence there isn't lots of windows in these places other than looking out towards the front door.

The rooms were spacious but basic and a bit drab. They are also very musty and need a can of ESSENTIAL mossie spray. The breakfast is also basic and if you;re not there early, a bit lacking too.

Staff are friendly and helpful, beach towels are provided.

The pool was not clear at all during out stay so we didn't use it, but it was on the small side.
I think you can get better for around the same if not less money. I wouldn't stay here again.

A really nice, quiet, comfortable hotel, with excellent service from the staff; only about 5 minutes from the beach, which is probably one of the prettiest ones on Phuket. Bang Tao is a quiet little place with few stores or services - a couple of really good inexpensive restaurants, and very friendly people. It was the perfect place to set aside some of the pressures of life, and just de-stress. Breakfast every day was delicious, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, even when I managed to mangle some of my Thai phrases. If I was to return to Phuket I would go back to the Bang Tao Village Resort without hesitation, and if you are looking for quiet, safe, and comfortable - this is the place for you
