We love the Slate so much. This is our third time staying there, and we absolutely love Nai Yang beach. Everything is perfect. We will be back next year no doubt.

Booking.com had a restriction that once I booked, I couldn't modify my reservation without canceling the entire trip. A few days after booking—several months before our arrival—I noticed that I had mistakenly booked to arrive a day early. As a result, I ended up paying for a night's accommodation when we hadn’t yet arrived in Thailand. Neither Booking.com nor the hotel allowed me to cancel the extra night without canceling the entire four-night booking, which was non-refundable. Given that we were charged for a night we didn’t stay, the very least the hotel could have done was offer us a complimentary airport transfer. However, that didn’t happen, and we were still charged a couple of hundred Baht for the transfer.

Incredible rooms. Beautiful design throughout. My room was enormous! Laughably big! Very helpful friendly staff. The food was amazing in the breakfast buffet. Great facilities for kids (pool and kids club). The whole place smells amazing. Would come back, without a doubt. Local area has quite a lot there. Close to airport. Poolside service very friendly and easy.

A few fittings in the room needed replacing (my shower in the room had bits that were hanging off). Area has a few seedy bars we avoided, but there's LOTS of choice for restaurants etc on the beach, supermarkets close by. Avoid buying anything extra in hotel until you've popped out through the garden exit and been to some of the shops and restaurants on the beach.

Restaurants where great, grounds and pools fantastic. Being right on the beach with many small shops and restaurants run by locals outside of the resort gave lots of choice. The resort is next to a national park with plenty of walking tracks which is nice for active guests.

Gym was adequate but could have had more equipment for a large resort. Resort was about 45 mins drive to old town Phuket which is worth a day trip and night out which we did once, but it may be an issue if you wanted to spend a lot of time shopping and going out at night. We spent 5 days mostly at the resort and beach which was exactly what we wanted.

The hotel is beautiful, with the theme carried through across all elements of design. The grounds are clean and well maintained and there is enough space that you don’t feel crowded at mealtimes or at the pools. Access to the restaurants along the beach is easy and convenient, and we really enjoyed our snorkeling trip organised by the dive centre. There are a number of food trucks and mini marts just outside the hotel on the beach side where you can buy snacks and drinks at very reasonable prices. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. However there were some parts that we didn’t like. There were multiple private functions during our stay which meant that various hotel facilities were not available to guests. The doors on the family suites are tin and do not block out any sound from the passage - would expect more soundproofing from a hotel at this price point. The mattresses seem to be quite old and are well worn - need to be replaced. Meals and drinks are much more expensive than at other restaurants and hotels in Phuket/Phang Na.

Everything you can think of they provided. They will always exceeded your expectations. There’s a morning Buffet that changes every day and it has everything from Asian, North and South American dishes. There are four different restaurants on site. There’s a daycare that is included in the cost for your children. Every SINGLE day every 2hrs there’s something for them to do and it’s FREE . I’ve attended 4 throughout my 2week stay. We created a candle, bracelets for our children, tote bags, pom-poms and more, which provided several souvenirs for Family at no cost to me just time. There is a tennis court, gym, kids pool 3 adult pools, 2 infinity pools, 1 pool swim bar. There’s transport throughout the entire compound, to and from every event you can think of as well as to and from the airport and to your front door . When leaving out the compound, the sand 2 the beach is less than 600 feet away. The ocean is less than 2000 feet. There’s street food, cabanas and convenience stores. Everything you can ask for around the compound. The Slate offers, bikes and scooters. They will book events for you and a way to get there. There’s a store that sells everything you have in your bedroom from the actual bed, sheets, towels, soaps and fragrances, too the appliances holding up the sink. I am not exaggerating whatsoever. I’ve made a TikTok Instagram and Facebook post about how exceptional the slate hotel is. I will forever stay on this compound, regardless of where I am visiting throughout Thailand. I never travel with my children because they are young adults. However, this compound makes you want to bring all ages of children and family because there’s something for everyone to do in plenty of space to do it. They have currency exchanges on site as well as prayer sections for those who are religious. There an app to contact every aspect of the compound. You never have to speak to actual person.

That I didn’t know everything I knew now In order to Maximize my stay. ….

Close to the airport and the beach, great option for a quiet and relaxing stay but also offers tons of activities on and off site, amazing spa, lovely and very helpful staff, quick service, incredible pools, big and comfortable rooms, lots of good and cheap food options right outside the resort

The only very small inconvenience was the bathroom lighting not being great (but easy to overlook in the grand scheme of how great everything else is)

The location near beach and airport and facilities

Not enough light in bedrooms At night time. Hard to read and see items.

I had an incredible stay at The Slate Hotel in Phuket! From the moment I arrived, the attention to detail and exceptional service stood out. The design of the hotel is stunning—luxurious, modern, and with a unique industrial-chic vibe that sets it apart. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean, with every amenity thoughtfully provided. The pools were breathtaking, offering a perfect spot to relax, and the lush tropical surroundings added to the serene ambiance. The dining options were phenomenal, with a variety of delicious cuisines and impeccable service at each restaurant. The breakfast spread was especially impressive! The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect—they were warm, friendly, and always available to assist. The location was also ideal, close to the beach yet peaceful and secluded. The Slate is truly a gem in Phuket, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ll definitely be returning! Feel free to tweak it based on your specific experience!

We stayed at the resort over the Songkran period to avoid the noise of the city. Breakfast was nice and pleasant, we absolutely loved one of the Adults' pool. Our Suite was lovely as well, uniquely and tastefully designed, full of well thought small details everywhere, and certainly not one of those usual resorts. We absolutely loved the entire ambience of the resort, especially the lobby area with a very colorful and bright lobby shop. Great access to the public beach and we loved our daily morning walks and short trips.

Since that was a Songkran evening, all other restaurants were closed and we had to have the themed Thai dinner buffet. It was okay, but as much as we like Thai food, it felt like all time favorite items were not presented - no Tom Yam, no Pad Thai, no Tom Sam, etc. We felt disappointed, and that was same to many other foreign (non-Thai) guests who were the majority. Also the AC in the bathroom did not function until we called engineering to fix it, which took couple of hours.

There are lots of great touches based around the tin mine theme. The grounds are vast and there is something different round each corner.

This is not a kid friendly hotel. All sinks are too high, kid steps are never available, no lifeguard, nothing for kids to play on at the family pool and the family rooms are full of sharp corners and doors that are too heave for them to open. It’s designed for adults who annoyingly bring children. It also feels like there are lots of snagging that need fixing. Eg. Our phone rang several times through the night. Only fixed by unplugging…
