The Slate, Phuket, garners high praise for its excellent service, with guests frequently lauding the attentive and professional staff. Its spacious rooms, adorned with stylish decor and comfortable beds, contribute to a luxurious stay, although a few guests find the lighting inadequate and the design somewhat dated.
The resort's array of amenities, including multiple pools and fine dining options, alongside its tranquil beachside location near the airport, are popular with guests. While some travelers mention occasional noise issues and the distance from Phuket town, the overall value and cleanliness receive consistent commendation.

Hotel's Favourite
We’ve returned from an 8 night stay at The Slate and wish we were back there! We didnt want to leave. The hotel is absolutely stunning and ticks every single box (maybe apart from air con in some of the communal areas but this would spoil the open air theme of the hotel)
We booked a pool room as we were celebrating a big birthday. The room was superb and well placed between pools 2 & 3. Arrival was very quick and informative with a lovely glass of something to drink, not sure what it was but it was lush and a worst corsages for the ladies.
The bed in the room is so comfortable and the rooms are spotless, maid visits around 6pm to fill the mosquito coil, cleans away used towels, draws the curtains, our maid was so lovely. The hotel has a stock room where you can buy some of the Slate products, I loved the smell of the shower/bath items that I bought some to bring home as a constant reminder. I thought this was a great touch.
We ate and drank a fair bit in the hotel. Used the pool bar several times, River and Rebar and Black Ginger, we also used in house dining and the food was spot on every time. Black Ginger was a gorgeous experience, food was outstanding as was the service. We felt we wanted to try more food but didn’t have the time ! Food is obviously more expensive than outside the hotel but is definitely worth it, I’d say the prices were comparable to a good meal in the UK but of a far better standard we were very surprised by our bill on check out which included a Phi Phi tour.
The pools are gorgeous and so quiet, water is a plenty from the lovely pool guys as well as fruit and cold towels which always made my morning. we tended to use pool 3 but had used pool 2 with the swim up bar.
The hotel is spotless and just feels like an oasis of calm at all times, it was the most relaxing holiday I’ve been on, particularly in a large hotel, it was full at the time but you would have never have guessed. I felt totally relaxed after the trip.
We used some of the bars and restaurants outside the hotel which were all really good, nothing stood out particularly but the staff again are all lovely and welcoming.
We were invited to the cocktail party where you get to meet staff and other guests and enjoy free flow drinks and canapés. We met Sao from food and beverages and a guy from IT, both were lovely and talked about how they enjoyed working at The Slate. This was a lovely touch I felt.
I couldn’t recommend this hotel any more, it’s just amazing and we can’t wait to return. Close and convenient for the airport too. Literally 5 minutes.
Many thanks to all the staff who made my birthday the most enjoyable memorable experience. We will be back !

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the most amazing time! The food was all so delicious, the pool was the perfect temperature and clean, the staff were all so helpful and accommodating, and the resort is full of beautiful luscious green everywhere. The location of the slate is PERFECT. It’s a minute drive from the airport, and it’s located directly in front of Naiyang beach. We had a lot of fun walking the beach every morning, going to the food stalls during the evening, and enjoying some of the bars after! It was the perfect location full of lots to do!
We went to the spa twice during our stay and had the most relaxing time. We did the “Mr. and Mrs. package” so we had a massage, a facial, and a milk bath our first time and then our second time we did a body wrap and lymphatic massage. All of them were very comfortable and we would recommend. We also experienced the vitamin drip at Kru one morning, and the staff were so helpful and calming. My husband and I felt incredible after having this done!
The front desk was so helpful in arranging travel for us to go out for plans we had made and covid tests we had to take. It took all of the stress out of figuring out how we would get anywhere, which was SO NICE! They were very helpful when it came to recommending the best markets to visit or things to do on the way to something we had planned already so we weren’t wasting any time!
My husband and I reserved both the romantic private dinner and the chefs table experience. They were both INCREDIBLE! For our romantic dinner we had a bottle of champagne with a table covered in rose petals and a 4 course dinner that we basically licked the plate clean! They set us up in one of their suites because it was supposed to rain, and wow it was so beautiful and romantic. The chefs table experience we would highly recommend as well as it was 4 courses that took place in 4 different rooms! It was such a neat experience to have a change of scenery each course. The chef made incredible food both nights and we were NOT disappointed!
We stayed in the private pool resort and it was our perfect oasis when we needed some time for us. There were punkawalla fans that you could turn on and it would keep you perfectly comfortable while enjoying a drink on the patio. We would definitely stay in one of these again!
We had the most perfect honeymoon and a lot of it was spent just enjoying time at the resort and Naiyang beach. There is so much here to do and enjoy, we would recommend staying here to anyone! We can’t wait to come back again sometime soon!

The hotel is stunning.
From the designer interior to the friendly staff who will bend over backwards at a drop of a hat to help you - staying here is luxury at its best.
Whilst the hotel is located at the pristine Nai Yang Beach & National Park which has the whitest of sands and clearest of waters to enjoy, it the hotel which whisks you away to luxury settings.
There's a choice of 3 pools (including an adults only pool with a sunken pool bar to indulge in during their 'no rush' hour), the mind-blowing Black Ginger restaurant which you can only enter via raft and the hotel will also provide you with private BBQ dining on the beach to enjoy the sunset whilst your feet are in the sand.
For the level of service, comfort and overall experience, it's great value for money and frankly, it's the only place to stay if you're in Phuket!

We stayed at the Slate for a week towards the end of Feb prior to picking up a cruise (an odyssey for another time).
I booked the hotel nearly a year in advance and chose a pool suite for the privacy.
Coronavirus was beginning to spread outside of China so we were keeping an eye on Government advice and that given by our travel agent who said it was business as usual from both the airlines and hotels. Nothing adverse from our cruise company either so off we went.
We arrived at the hotel mid morning and we greeted by very friendly staff who booked us in and as the room wasn’t quite ready we enjoyed a lovely cold drink while a very pleasant Irish lady who was part of the management team explained all about the hotel.
Thailand is very popular with Chinese tourists and because of the lockdown in China they were missing so occupancy was well down although they reckoned it was at 75%.
Once we were settled in and after a few days we noticed the only large congregation of people was at breakfast. We ate at all 3 restaurants none of which were full at any time. The food was very tasty but was overpriced as was the wine mainly imported from NZ.
Because of the island’s tin mining past the design of the hotel is very industrial with factory type plumbing, metal surfaces with plenty of rivets on show. A shabby chic look with some places more shabby than chic ! Plenty of metal sculptures in the grounds too.
The hotel occupies a large area with lovely gardens which were well manicured. Dotted around were 3 pools with adequate loungers, shade and towels and waiters on hand for drinks etc.
Our pool suite was at the far end of the grounds a 2 minute walk away from a very sparsely populated beach but nonetheless plenty of bars around for drinks and snacks.
The suite had a walk in shower, separate toilet and outdoor bath. The bed was very comfortable, complimentary water replenished every day as was the usual shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.
Our only issue was with the pool which was in shade for most of the day apart from early morning and the odd 30 minutes throughout the day which was so disappointing and defeated the object of booking such a suite in the first place.
It was all down to the design. The building was ground floor and one above. The room above had it’s own balcony but running off the balcony over the shallow end of our pool was a slatted roof feature which shaded us. At the far end of our pool was a very large pitched roof covering which combined with the branches of a tree in the garden and the slatted roof of our upstairs neighbour guaranteed very little sun in our garden. Definitely not worth paying the extra money.
Ending on a positive note, the staff were very warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

We really wanted to love this place. The architecture and art are very different for Thailand. The rooms are large and comfortable. Sadly, where this hotel fails is in the service. The pool bars had five staff hanging around and no one seemed interested in serving anyone. They passed water only once a day - the rest of the time you had to go to the towel station to get your own water. By day three, we stopped tolerating poorly mixed drinks and simply getting the wrong order and sent them back. In a period of 1.5 hours, four drinks were sent back and only two correct. We also ate at the Japanese restaurant. Again, there were about four staff working on our table, but only one that really paid us attention. We ordered two bottles of white wine to go with our dinner - first bottle served warm, so we asked them to start icing the second bottle prior to serving. We ended up having to pour our own wine from the second bottle because the main waitress disappeared, and the other three just stood around. We made use of our one free drink, and could only order from a separate menu for the “welcome” drink. I don’t think there was any alcohol it them at all. We also found that if you liked a particular cocktail served at one bar on the resort, you couldn’t actually order it at another bar on the property. Finally, we considered using the spa. We went to the spa reception and asked if there were any specials. Nope, nada, none at all. We left to decide by the pool what services we might want to experience and low and behold, we are approached by a spa staffer telling us about a discounted offer available today. Hmmm. Where was that 10 minutes ago when we were actually at the spa??? For the price and hype of this hotel, we expected to have a lot better service.

I cannot rave about this hotel more. The staff made it for us. The hotel itself is beautiful and decorated with such an eye for detail, it's truly stunning. However, even with all of this beauty, the hotel is made truly special by the staff who work there. Every single waiter, waitress, receptionist, cleaner, gardener or babysitter we came across was so polite and friendly. Staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We stayed with our 18 month old daughter and she was adored and given so much attention. We had a really special time here and I would come back like a shot. And, I haven't even begun to talk about how delicious the food was...
Thank you so much for having us. It was perfect.

Stayed for two weeks in April weather was fantastic very hot with a little rain some evenings. Location is fantastic away from the busy tourist hotspots but only a taxi ride away if you want a lively evening. The beach is beautiful with lovely bars and restaurants situated in the sand, we spent most days at the hotel then went over to the beach and had a gin and tonic and watched the most beautiful sunsets every evening. Food at the hotel is the best I’ve ever had at a hotel and we have stayed at lots of resorts. My fussy teenage son ate lots of different foods. Breakfast was amazing. We had the D-buk suite which was a great size. Large walk in wardrobe and large well designed rooms the second bed had a curtain so our son and us had some privacy. We would of liked to have spent time at the swim up bar but jnforyiver 16’s only. I think it would be better to allow mature children or over 14’s the second pool was also over 14’s and we spent lots of time here. The main large pool was also great. Slate, one of your staff members Ian who walks around the pools and waits on your guests is a credit to your company, he really made our stay very enjoyable and made sure we were never thirsty, he also always made a effort with our son who is a West Ham united fan and Ian knew lots about them. Looking forward to visiting again.

Responded May 5, 2022
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for sharing your experience here at The Slate with the TripAdvisor community. I am very happy to read that you had great stay with us and enjoyed our hospitality. Nai Yang beach is just a 10 meters walk outside of the hotel and it is one of those "out-of-the-beaten-tracks hidden gems". Beautiful, shaded, and plenty of tiny fun bars and restaurants, Nai Yang remains peaceful like most of the northern beaches of Phuket and it is never crowded. I have well noted your comment about allowing children from 14 years old up to our Pulley Pool Bar (swim-up bar) and I will discuss with the team to change that. We do hope to have the pleasure to welcome you back soon, and please feel free to contact me directly. I'll be delighted to assist you with your reservation. With warm regards, Claude Claude Sauter General Manager / claude@theslatephuket.com The Slate

We stayed here for 9 nights in January 2020. The resort is huge and it takes a while to get your bearings. It caters for all travellers.
The three pools are all great. We mainly went to pool 3, the quieter infinity pool where Ian looked after us really well, keeping us hydrated and pampered with cooling cloths and pineapple skewers for refreshment.
We ate at all of the restaurants. Black Ginger is a great experience and has a fabulous ambience. The food in the Japanese restaurant Rivet was probably the best on offer. It was a pity there weren't more guests in the restaurants, for atmosphere. This is probably because the restaurants are fairly expensive by local standards. Maybe a reduction in prices would encourage people to eat in the hotel rather than the other local restaurants. The local restaurants where we ate were all good.
The staff in general were really helpful and friendly, particularly the breakfast crew. Breakfast itself had everything you could want, and their croissants were exceptional.
Everywhere was spotlessly clean and well maintained.
We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

So first the good points. This is a lovely quirky property and the design is fab. Although some of the landscaping could use some work and also the maintenance of it. Secondly my kids loved the kids club particularly Pui, so massive thanks to her!
Now the downside. Iv never really encountered a hotel who are worse at communicating with you than the slate. I emailed the hotel regarding some requests prior to our visit and got no response, so tried again a week later and finally got a response from Nawaporn who wasn’t particularly helpful at all, and then even to get replies back to further emails from her took over a week, I then even had to call the hotel to chase! Which is completely not on! Service is key when it comes to looking after your guests!
I requested some things for my toddlers for our room eg kids toilet seat, stool for the sink which were not ready and we then had to ask three different people on arrival.
I had also arranged a transfer with the the hotel as we were getting off a 14 hour journey in the hope that we would have no wait time and would be taken straight to our hotel. When we got to arrivals we couldn’t find a representative from the hotel, when we finally did the car was not ready as they had forgotten the car seats! So we were waiting for another 15 minutes in the heat with a 2 & 4 year old. Completely not on as this service is about 3x the price of a regular taxi from the airport!
The slate if you read this at this moment we are still here in room 2110 and you have a last chance to redeem yourselves. I am an independent travel agent and I know what good service and hospitality is and this is not it!!! Most hotels can’t do enough to show you the best that they have to offer, definitely not the the case here.

We just come back from Thailand (phuket), we stayed at The Slate for 7days and absolutely loved it. The people and services and absolutely wonderful. It more of a tropical hotel so the beach isn't at your door step if you like that, you have to walk out of the hotel to go to the beach. Which we did not mind because the the hotel tropical tree and flowers are beautiful. The food is amazing I didn't have one bad experience with food, they have three restaurants on site so you have a lot of choice even for vegetarians. But the most amazing part are the staff they are amazing they are so friendly even to the rude customer who think they own the world. They recommend so many places to go and see and do they immediately informed us that we may it things cheaper if we went somewhere else rather an where most tourists would go to, but only go there if you like local markets.
They hotel is self is clean they decorated it like contemporary art and you so no white tales and clean lines which is the beauty of the hotel. I loved that they had floor boards and no carpet and tiles it actually made feel clean. House keeping are amazing so if some extra just ask. If have kids I would recommend asking for a ground floor room it would be easier. But if your look for a different kind of hotel with 5 star experience then give The Slate a chance and you want be disappointed.
Have lovely holiday.

Sometimes they include Black Ginger and or The Rivert , Breakfast each day Lots of other good restaurants in the local area .If dinner is provided each day of your stay it will most likely be at the buffet area, lots of great choices but maybe not whast you are looking for.
the beach is very close, two minutes away across a very quiet road. there are plenty of bars/restaurants on the beach too. Very good food and good prices. I don't know about beds on the beach though, I know that the hotel doesn't provide any.
Hi. We stayed in a Pearl Suite in May this year & yes there was a curtained area with drawers/hanging rail. We were also lucky enough to have an outside bath tub.
