The Holiday Inn Phuket at Patong is a beautiful resort and a great spot for fun family holidays or if you're planning your very first vacation to the Island of Phuket.
Patong Beach is like a magnet for first-time visitors, and if you have decided to stay in Patong, the Holiday Inn would definitely be a great choice. The resort is situated in an unbeatable location directly across the road from the beach and conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
Our first holiday to Phuket back in 1991 was spent at the Holiday Inn; over the years, we have seen the resort undergo major refurbishments, including a new wing and additional rooms.
One thing that we have noticed on return trips, which has never changed over all those years, is the friendly staff.

The Holiday Inn opened in 1987 and was one of the first International hotels to be built in Patong.
Since our first holiday, the resort has undergone many changes and refurbishments, but it remains a top choice for a Phuket getaway or family vacation.
The Holiday Inn is centrally located with easy access to all that Patong has to offer.
The beach is just across the road, and if you like to shop, you have Otop Markets located behind the resort, and within walking distance to Jungceylon Shopping Centre, a multitude of restaurants and all the nightlife activities in Bangla Road.
Whilst Patong is extremely busy, once you step inside the grounds of the Holiday Inn you will be surprised how quiet it is.
Within the landscaped grounds are four swimming pools, including a large kids' activity pool with slides and fountains to keep the young ones entertained.
Considering the resort's prime location, the Holiday Inn Resort at Patong Beach is reasonably priced.
The rooms in the main wing are family-friendly and are perfect for family vacations or a group of friends.
There are 258 rooms in the main wing, with a choice of spacious room types available, including Superior Rooms, Pool View Deluxe Rooms, and Family and Kids Suites.
