This is our 2nd trip to By the Sea, the first was 2.5 years ago. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Great prices and a huge room with kitchenette and living area. Bigger than our apartment at home. But the best thing about By the Sea is the staff. So warm and friendly and always willing to go out... More

We booked this property through a deal we received on the Internet, and I would pay full price to come back again. The staff are warm, accommodating and very friendly. It can be a struggle sometimes with communication (speaking English) but we found this is throughout Phuket, not just the hotel, and after all, we are visiting their country, so... More

We have stayed here recently for 7 days. It is quite remote and you need wheels if you want to explore, we rented a scooter for a couple of days. The hotel rooms (one and two bedroom suites) were spotless, comfortable beds and as our room was on level 4, we had beautiful views. Very happy with the Management and... More

By The Sea had beautiful views! Staff are so friendly and helpful. The restaurant was delish and cheap. Rooms have everything you need I spent most of the time taking in the views from the balcony. Taxi rank just down the road to help you get around. Also daily free transfers to Phuket town. I loved it there. It's peaceful... More

We are in our late 60's and have just returned from a 5 week stay at By-the-Sea, Phuket, Thailand. The negative things that we had read about from earlier Trip-advisers are no longer accurate. The beds and pillows are excellent - I never pined for my bed at home.  The rooms (big bedroom, living area/TV, eating area and kitchen) are spacious,... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in March, as part of a travel package. It was an excellent choice for us. We did not want the night life of Phuket, and this hotel was right on the water on the "quiet" side of the island. We were able to swim in the pool or in the sea as much as... More

Got a decent deal on Expedia for this hotel, which is situated right on a nice sand beach with great views across the bay and a stellar sunset. Ok, low tide shows the mud flats but at high tide, lots of people swimming. There are a few restaurants on the beach, which serve cheap beer along with cheap food. BUT,... More

There is not a single thing we could fault with this hotel. We booked our room through a groupon deal and found it to be the greatest value. As young first time travellers, we where seeking a quiet and relaxing getaway. By the Sea was the perfect choice, situated on a quiet private beach. Our room was huge with airconditioning... More

When we landed in Phuket we used the registered taxi service to get to the hotel, which cost 600 bhat and took an hour (the driver did get lost twice). If you are considering hiring a car, don’t ! The volume of low power motorbikes and crazy drivers is a recipe for disaster. The property is on the largely undeveloped... More

We live in the country in Canada and therefore, appreciate peace and quiet when we are travelling. With only 36 suites in the entire hotel, By the Sea was the place for us. We can’t say enough good things about the staff who go out of their way to please their guests. The staff was always courteous and met our... More
