Lovely hotel above the mayhem in Patong!
If you want to be close to the action in Patong, but still want a gorgeous view and some peaceful time by the pool, then head to this resort. It's location is perched on the south side hill of Patong Bay and there's a free shuttle until 4pm to town and beach (or you can walk down the hill 20 min). People complain that the taxis are expensive (and they are at 200 Baht per way = $6 USD), so rent a motorbike for 300 baht per day which allows you to go whenever and whereever you want. As for us, we just jumped on the back of a motorbike taxi for 100 baht each way (yes 3 of us on ONE motorbike). Rooms at Baan Yin Dee are really spacious and clean. There is some limescale on the marble in the showers, but it's totally harmless. The hotel manager is very meticulous and was even test-tasting the food and directing staff to clean the pool at night (it was immaculate) and lay out candles for dinner around the pool. Restaurant overlooks the beach below and is really romantic at dinnertime, much nicer than eating at a tourist dive in seedy Patong. Breakfast was yummie and made to order eggs, fruit, cereals, breads, congees, etc. This hotel is fairly priced through Agoda so we don't mind paying the taxi fares because we only stayed a short while. But I do recommend it if you want a PLEASANT yet fun experience in Phuket. I like having the option to go into town and beach WHEN I WANT. Staff was great and very kind. Spoke good english.
