“Perfect position!”

We have just returned from a trip to Thailand. We discovered wonderful Phuket and Patong Beach and cancelled a trip to Pattaya in order to stay longer. The accommodation we were staying in, in Patong Beach couldn't accommodate us for the last night so we jumped onto wotif.com.au and grabbed a night at the Burasari. WOW! We were totally blown away.

Firstly, the location. Less than 10 mins walk from Bangla Road, and right in the thick of the shopping, yet set back down the road not to be able to hear all the nighttime goings on of Patong - really, what more could you ask for?
When we checked in - we were greeted beautifully, and asked to take a seat while they arranged our room keys etc. We barely had time to sit before everything was ready. The lobby of the Burasari is wonderful, all open plan and allows for the beautiful afternoon seabreeze to bring some relief. Not only are there 2 wonderful pools, there are rooms that offer the ability to step outside and into the pool. Fantastic!

The big plus from both of us was the complimentary mini-bar and also the free wi-fi in the rooms! Where we were staying previously was 200THB for 1 hour of internet access - ridiculous!

The room we stayed in was absolutely beautifully decorated with a modern Thai feel and the bed.. it was HUGE and so soft. Our previous accommodation felt like we were laying on a thin piece of foam on top of bricks, by comparison.
Without a doubt, the Burasari is a jewel in the crown of Patong Beach, in Phuket. We saw many other hotels and spoke to other Aussies about their experiences with accommodation, and without a doubt the Burasari rates very highly. I have no doubt whatsoever that on our trip back next year we will stay here again. Absolutely 10/10

 
 
“Paradise in Patong”

On arrival we were met by friendly and very helpful staff.the check in was simple and quick,the room was incredible on the first floor , room 2310 Decorated in a lovely thai theme and a four poster bed, Bathroom was great usual power shower but had a interesting set of windows which opened up into the bedroom idea for honeymooners!!!which we weren't !!! but soon put us in the mood.

The hotel had a relaxed feel water flowing around the ground floor, with swim up bar ,water features and great places to sit around the hotel and just chill..Breakfast was great from noodles to a fry up...Good location to the main strip, walking distance..

 
 
“Calm Oasis away from the bedlam”

Akld                                                                                                             Aug 31, 2008

Stayed here for 8 nights and loved returning to my room each day for the peace & tranquility after the bedlam of Patong beach and the shops. This place is nice & handy to the beach and a 10 minute stroll to Bangla Rd. The room was a premier deluxe with a day bed on the balcony - just great to have a quiet read and a free beer from the mini bar. The pool was a perfect temperature and I could get a deck chair around 80% of the time - pretty good i thought. The breakfast was excellent and didnt need lunch after that! Only small complaint would be the frequent lack of hot water in the shower & the shower is a handheld contraption over the bath - not a biggie but a minor irritant. That is the only reason it doesnt get 5 stars from me.

The staff are very helpful & friendly. The lobby is very understated and openair which i really liked as you so often get big grand lobbies and very ordinary rooms - this place spent the money on the rest of the complex rather than waste it on a fancy lobby - well done. I normally never stay in the same place twice but with Burasari , i would make an exception and return here.
 
 

“Impressive service”

We stayed at Burasari Resort Hotel in Phuket on April 2008 for 5 days. My daughter and I were having a lovely time hanging out together around the pool area. We loved the small, boutique hotel atmosphere, cosy and quite intimate. The staffs were super friendly and nothing ever was a problem.

We will recommend the hotel to anyone (not with small children though) particularly young people, couple and honeymooners.(lovely theme room to choose from)

 
 

“Positive Experience!”
Zilfo
Santa Ana, California                                                                                  Aug 23, 2008

We stayed at the Burasari Resort for four nights in November 2007 (high season) and paid about $155 per night including taxes and service through ratestogo.com. It is a very nice boutique-style hotel rather than a resort. This place is very popular with young vacationers (20-30 something) from Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Our room was a comfortable premier-type (around 400 sq ft) with king size bed, bathtub in bathroom, and a flat screen TV. Good Points: Great location just across the street from the beach (south end of Patong Beach next to the Holiday Inn) and close by the main party street (Bangla Rd.) Beach basket is provided in the room complete with towels and beach blanket … you need to provide your own sunscreen. The hotel has its own section of the public beach complete with beach chairs, umbrellas and full service bar.

Nice pool and reception areas. Mini-bar filled daily with goodies for free including beer, soda, chocolates, etc. Full breakfast was included in the room rate and the food quality was excellent. Indian-influenced British restaurant on premises with its menu by a famous TV chef. Not so good points: You get only two bathroom towels with hardly any bathroom amenities/toiletries. No separate shower stall in bathroom. No alarm or any other type of clock in the room. Not all staff members speak good English.

This is a beautiful place and we had mostly a positive experience there

Excellent hotel/friendly staff

My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights and had the best time. The hotel staff from the moment you arrive are friendly, polite and nothing is to much for them. We found the hotel through this tripadvisor and must say we were not disappointed.

We arrived at 10.30am and check in is not until 2pm but after travelling to other countries we booked our room for early check in so it was ready for when we arrived which was great. We booked a premier room with pool view but tried to up grade to premier grand but all booked out. Would not bother with anything less than premier with pool view as the outlook is not very good. Premier grand or elite would be the way to go next time we stay and there will be a next time, that is for sure. Rooms are very comfortable, air cond, tv and a free mini bar every day. We received 2 bottles of drinking water, 2 beers, 2 cokes and iced tea every day for FREE. We took our own ice tray and made ice with the drinking water which we also used to clean our teeth. We also received fresh beach towels every day and a beach bag was in the room for our use at the beach.

Breakfast was brillant, full American breakfast with fresh fruit, toast, danishes, juices, bacon eggs (cooked any way you want) the list goes on. Breakfast is served 6am to 10am. Coffee is great.

Pool areas are beautiful. Swim up bar is very nice place to go at happy hour and get 2 4 1 cocktails and a great way to spend an afternoon.

There is a 7/11 next door which is great for extra water, potatoe chips etc. and there is also a laundry that will clean and press clothes for 90bht per kilo or 50bht to wash which is dirt cheap. Drop off one day collect the next.

We did not eat in the hotel restaurant, preferred to eat out on the street. Great restaurant is Sabai Sabai, down side street near coffee time sign, can be busy but is worth the wait for a table. Not a place to linger, eat and leave. We ate nearly every night there and even had lunch there a couple of times. Can't book.

Beach is a 1minute walk to the left and the market 1minute walk to the right. Beach chairs are hired out for 100bht (A$3.00) per chair for the whole day, come and go as you wish.

We booked tours through hotel as we felt you had back up from them if there was any problems which we did not have. Recommend elephant trek with dinner cruise on thai junk and Phi Phi island by speed boat. We also hired a tuktuk for 800bht (going rate, all the same price) for the whole day to take us where ever we wanted. We to Chalong bay, Chalong Temple, Giant Budha and view point. Great way to see a bit of the place.

All in all would recommend Burasari again - probably more couples than families though. There were a few families but with small children not teenages

 
 

“EBurasaro was fantastic
Luke_v Perth                                                                                                Jul 14, 2008

Burasari was a great little side street resort at the south end of Patong. My fiance and I booked there because it was within our budget and got good reviews.

Their restaurant was great, the rooms comfortable, the pool lovely and the location was perfect for us. Just a minute's walk from the nearest markets, and one minute from the beach. We didn't think much of the beach, much too busy and not very clean.

Cocktails at the swim up bar were cheap and happy hour at the restaurant bar was two for one. If you didn't want to eat at the hotel, just walk outside and there were plenty of places to take your pick from. The resort was a little noisy at night being close to the main drag, but it wasn't too bad. The upside was that being so close to everything there was no need for taxis or tuk tuks.

Our only complaint was that the air-con ticked and it was too hot to sleep with it off.

 
 

The Best of the Best
Burasari Patong Resort
bommerEurope  Europe                                                                               Jul 14, 2008

I am just back home from Thailand and I can tell you straight that Burasari Resort is the best Hotel in the country! My (new) husband and I checked in early in the morning about 9am. The room wasn't ready but thats normal for this time of the day. But instead of just telling us to wait they asked us if we would like some toast and coffee. We didn't need anything but it was a nice touch. We got into our room at about 11.30 and wow! the pool access is amazing. Withing about 2 seconds of the staff leaving the room we were both in the pool. That day we just lounged around and went out in the evening. Again wow! we came back about 10.30 to find rose petels all over our bed in the shape of a heart, fruit on the side and a beautiful cake. We couldn't believe one week into our honeymoon already and this felt like our wedding night.

Over the days everything was great no faults anywhere. We bumped into a fellow Irishman, known as the resident manager who came to say hello to us one morning when we were having breakfast and this was great. The staff at Burasari are all wonderful but its nice to meet and talk to someone who really knows what we wanted. He sent us to a little beach only five minutes away called Paradise beach and I'll tell you it was paradise. I will leave that for you to find and see for yourself because as we were told its a hidden secret from most tourists which is what makes it special.

Floyd's Brasserie and again a wow! The food was amazing and the place is so elegant. I do not eat in good restaurants very often but as it was our honeymoon and we now felt so relaxed and happy we decided to do it. The best meal we ever had. The chef danny came out and told us to try the lobster termidoor. Again wow!

All in all the Burasari did it for us. We stayed in hotels before there and after there and it is the one we want to go back to. The staff are all so friendly, look out for the small room service boy who says Ma'am and Sir all the time ( dont know his name). The two men who carry luggage Mr Tum and Mr Mong. The girls in the bar always remembering what you want to drink. Of course the Irish Man and Chef Danny who bring character to the place and pretty much everyone else.

I'll finish with a word I dont use very often....WOW!!! I dont know if the hotel staff read this sort of review, but if they do, we would like to thank everyone for making our Honeymoon so special.

 
 

Short but Sweet
Burasari Patong Resort
JB75BBK Bangkok                                                                                         Jul 11, 2008

Only stayed for a few short days and wished I could stay longer. My friend had stayed last month and he advised Burasari to me. I didn't book but when I walked in the door the pretty girl behind reception went out of her way to help me. After seeing 3 rooms I picked the middle one. Good size and very clean. Free daily minibar a nice touch for a beer before going into town for the night. Can't tell you about breakfast as I never got up before noon. Then straight to the pool for a dip and into the hotel bar for a cure. Everywhere I turned the staff were smiling to me and asking me if I had eaten. (I think its a Thai thing, very caring)

All in all very relaxing three days away from the stress of Bangkok. Will definately return to my friends at Burasari when I am back in Patong in a few months.

What a great hotel A little bit of magic and calm amidst the madness of vibrant Patong! Very friendly staff and management. Floyd's Brasserie of famous chef Keith Floyd is a culinery island in a sea of mediocraty. This is the second time we have stayed and it was even better the second time.

 
 

loved every minute

we just spent 2 weeks at the burasari, we only booked 10 days and loved it so much stayed the extra nights. you need to book the elite pool access room, we cant complain aboute anything it was so lovely, the staff were always friendly, the room always cleaned, the mini bar always filled and breakfast was so good, there is something for everyones taste buds. its a peacefull hotel with lots of atmosphere, so quaint and yet everything is at your doorstep. we used the laundry just outside and turn left its a chemist as well, very cheap. the indian ali baba is a few doors further on, yum. we ate there often. scruffy murphys on bangla road is the best food at the cheapest prices, the servings are huge and at around $4.00 who would complain, they have everything. we had no problems changing money on the streets, infact everything and everyone were lovely, if you are dog lover like me please go in the 7/11 and buy sausages they cost 20 cents each and go for a walk down the beach and feed the dogs, i did this twice a day.

we arranged for a man to pick us up from the airport and used him for trips, his name is manop and hes lovely and speaks good english, he took us to some great places and hes cheap, i held falcons and eagles and fed baby tigers milk from there bottles, a snake show elephant ride and would you beleive we sat with gibbons and had a drink, they sit right next to you, manop will take you to all these places, thats only a few things. he has a toyota van, very clean, if you want his email and mobile please ask me, we found him on here from other people who had used him. the shooping centre jungcylon is great, you must go downstairs the shopping and the massages are great. nothing opens in phuket untill 11.00 except the 7/11 which is so cheap you feel quilty. i got thai silk p.j"s and japanese style silk tops for $12 each and thai silk tie cufflinks and hanky in boxes for $10. all at jung cylon. and theres so much more, silk cusion covers that would cost a fortune for $3.00 who would ever complain, i cant wait to go back next year, i too walked thru the holiday inn and its nice but they have areas for the rich and the rest for us!! no thanks. the marriot next door should be finished in september and looks very nice but i think i will be sticking to the burasari, it was heaven and the smell is nothing really, just a bit musty, what can u expect the hotel was emerged in sea water right up and over the second floor. the mozzies were few and far between we just stuck a can of fly spray in our case. how lovely after walking home from dinner to go into your room and beable to strip down to your undies and walk straight into the pool to cool off, thats the best thing aboute elite pool access rooms.

"Elite Pool Access Room"
Burasari Patong Resort
Trish-Alex  Australia                                                                                   Jun 14, 2008

My husband and I stayed at Burasari in May 2008. We arrived at the resort at 9.30 in the morning & rooms were not available until after lunch apparently but as soon as we arrived we did the paperwork & were in our room by 10.00a.m. which was fantastic.

We had an Elite Pool Access Room (in the Chandra Wing) which looked exactly like it did on the internet (which was great as sometimes this does not happen). Our room was gorgeous with open mini bar everyday(Yes!). The huge showerhead was fabulous, bathrooms & living area spotless. All the staff in the hotel were probably the best we have ever encountered in our travels overseas. Nothing was ever any trouble for them. The only thing I could quibble about would be that the wardrobe is a bit small & the singer in the bar is a bit boring It was very hard to leave the resort & will definately go back again. Pay the extra money & stay in Elite Pool Access-worth the holiday.

 
 
"Fantastic Location"
Burasari Patong Resort
80and82 South Australia                                                                             Jun 12, 2008

We are just leaving the Burasari after staying a week... our first night didn't happen due to Qantas stuffing our flights around but the staff at the hotel were more than appreciative of our call to advise them we were running a day late.

The location of the Burasari is fantastic. Only 5 minutes from the main street - Bangala Road, across the road from Patong Beach, the Otop markets (main ones) are at the other end of the street - 2 minutes walk - AND YET you would never know all that existed when inside the Burasari.

It has a lovely calm, peaceful and very friendly atmosphere. There are 2 big pools, but not deep ones, a pool bar, a bar and Flloyd's Restaurant (international TV chef).

The room was great and a perfect size. Full cooked buffet brekky every morning! Didn't need lunch at all.Would definitley stay there again :)


 
 

I would stay again...
Burasari Patong Resort
djbperry Melbourne, Australia                                                                   May 29, 2008

My wife and I stayed at the Burasari for the first 10 nights of our honeymoon. Upon arrival we were taken aside by the hatchet man and told of all things... that we had been downgraded from an Elite room to the Classic room. We thought he was joking until we were led to a small, dirty, dampish room overlooking a construction site in the far corner of the hotel - I still tipped the porter in disbelief I think - you gotta love that Thai smile.

It was not the perfect start to our honeymoon and we let the manager know this.
The worst part was that our travel agent - Harvey World travel in Oakleigh did not care at all. They acted like it was our fault.Anyway, after a series of meetings with the manager we were promised to be upgraded to the best room in the hotel after two nights. Well we enjoyed a free massage and a dinner at Floyds on the hotel - thank you very much. Dressed to the nines and buying extra drinks and tipping appropriately mind you, we didn't want them to think we deserved to be downgraded.

Anyway, we spent our first day trying to avoid the room and the next day took a boat to Freedom beach to relax - we came back to rainy weather and another night in the sad little "honeymooners suite".
I continually reminded the manager of our predicament and on the third day he came with good news "I have arranged for you and your wife to enjoy the rest of your stay in our best room"
Well, thank you very much the room was amazing - all lit up with candles, floral display on the bed and it was big with an LCD TV, big bathroom with double sinks, king size bed with backlit artworks and a balcony overlooking the street with a swing chair, huge daybed, a bar and large jacuzzi.

Yes Yen my man "You did it!"

 
 
"Most amazing time ever!”
Burasari Patong Resort

I stayed at the Burasari in january, and it was by far the best hotel I have ever been to (out of many!)

When I arrived, lugging a huge backpack, the staff all went out of their way to help me with my bags, the reception girls were lovely, and upgraded me to a Elite Thai suite. The room was insanely beautiful, with lots of personal touches ie. they give guests their own beachbag with towels they can take to the beach and free minibar, etc etc.

The staff were so so super friendly, asking how my day was, offering tips on the best places to go. I got food poisoning from eating at a restaurant somewhere else, and they enquired how I was feeling over the next few days which was nice.

The hotel itself was amazing, the grounds and pool are so so gorgeous, and the restaurant was the absolute best I've ever been to. I loved Burasari so much I am planning my next visit at the end of the year!
