The View Phuket by Resava

Absolutely stunning property with magnificent views. If you're looking for luxury and somewhere private to feel like home, look no further. Situated at top of the mountains nestled within private spaces overlooking the beautiful sea and crab island, this place is remarkable and just far and close enough from all the tourist and activities. Loved coming home every evening to the quiet after being out and about. Be cautious for those who are not driving or relying on taxi as the slope to get to the property is really steep and not everyone will be able to walk or drive it. Definitely recommend and likely to return.

The staff are very nice and friendly once you arrive. It’s a gamble if you will get a villa as nice as the pictures. I switched villas after a week once a better one became available. The property is definitely dated. The jacuzzis aren’t well kept, I didn’t get in mine at all. There is also construction on the property which I feel should’ve been good reason to reduce price given the dirt flying around dusting the patios and environment. The heel is steep but the property shuttle goes down 3x daily and I didn’t have any issues with getting Grab or food delivered. The electric bill is ridiculous. The stay was overall okay. I can’t say k would stay again, not for the price.

Lovely resort, but quite a steep hill to go up a lot of taxi bike i got struggle to go up. If you like hiking then this is a great option. The pool was a good size, the room we had the jacuzzi bit to the pool didnt work. The decor for the room was slightly scary especially at night when waking up to use the bathroom. As you enter the property there was a big face hanging up which is right by the bathroom door, then there was different types of pictures/painting that had eyes around the room come like you're being watch.

They charge for electricity and cleaning fee. Some grab cars and taxis won't go to the property because it's too steep, we had to walk at least 3 times.

Nice big villa with clean facilities. The staff were very accommodating and acted on our requests swiftly.

The property is exactly like the name says THE VIEW. when booking this on Expedia it states location to beach - 10 mins walking, kata night market 10 min walk Karon beach 17 min walk. Etc. The fact is you cannot reach any of these times even driving. It’s located on a cliff that is literally a 75-80% slope. Local taxis refuse to go up it. Walking up takes 10-15 minutes. So we were forced to rent a car as there isn’t a thing close to it. We were there at 1:00 and were advised the room would be ready the day before for that time, we sat there till 4:30 to get a dirty room. No soap, no detergent etc. ( we’ve always got a small package everywhere we’ve rented). Also after we rented it through Expedia and paying for it upfront we got a message from the manager 2 days before checking in that there will be a $$$ charge for cleaning which wasn’t in the add at time of booking online. Lastly when we were checking in they also threw at us that we have to pay for electricity over and above on check out( not in description). We tried to cancel the whole reservation when we arrived with all of these inconveniences and extras but they wouldn’t refund a dollar. The pool is spectacular but only 8-10 loungers so we never used it. The view is second to none. Please know what you are in for before renting.

The hotel is nice and has beautiful views, but an important detail is not mentioned online: it is located on a very high cliff with a long, steep walk to reach it. Taxis from the street usually refuse to go up because of how steep it is. During heavy rain, the hotel could not arrange transportation down the cliff, even when we offered to pay. This made it very difficult to eat or move around, so we cancelled our last night and changed hotels. At the beginning, the staff were helpful, but after we raised concerns, their attitude changed. When I asked for a taxi to the airport, I was told to pay first before they even ordered the taxi, which felt rude and unprofessional. The hotel itself is nice, but the location and lack of support, especially in bad weather, were very disappointing.

Nice condos and clean. They do charge a cleaning fee, and they charge for electricity based on the meter reading. The restaurant was convenient, but it closes at 6 pm. The office isn't always staffed when it says it is. The driveway up to the property is a very steep hill that 6 active people in their twenties dreaded walking up every single time. Overall, I would recommend as long as you know these details that we were unaware of when we booked

We arrived and the couch was stained and dirty

We loved our stay here. Very clean, very comfortable and amazing views

Overall great experience and property. The only thing is location. It’s quite high up and many grab drivers refused to go up the hill forcing you to walk up or down. Not the best experience. They do have a shuttle bus/car to drive you nearby but only till 6pm.

Really good

Epic view from the 3 bedroom pool villa, trade off was the extremely steep access - 99% of people would not be able to walk up. Would’ve been a superb resort when new, but the villa I booked was definitely behind in maintenance. I did enjoy my stay but it was heavily discounted. I would not have been happy with the condition had I paid full price.

Great view but difficult to access. Some Taxi’s were unable to drive up the hill so a difficult walk home. They have a courtesy truck but it only goes twice a day so not very convenient.a great concept but the finish is ordinary. Balcony slopes away from drain. No ceiling fan so very hot or noisy aircon. Very few occupants so pool services not reliable. You need your own transport.

Had an amazing time with my family the staff were very nice and helpfull and made us feel so welcome loved the pool which came with room perfect for kids and the view was absolutely beautiful will defo come back

As a whole our stay was good. We enjoyed using the gym facilities and felt our condo was very private and quiet. We also felt the price paid for the accommodation was good value for money. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying at The View due to its location. The View is located on top of a very steep hill - the gradient is almost completely vertical - making walking up and down it very dangerous. Individuals who are disabled or who have young children with prams etc. should avoid the property. In addition, the electricity and cleaning fee were overpriced for Thailand. Online the property states it offers an airport shuttle but when we enquired about the service we were told they do not offer this. In addition, the bar/restaurant closes at 1830 which is inconvenient, especially due to the property’s location.

We did 17 nights in the middle of a six week trip. The restaurant at the pool area and the shuttle service were extremely positive additions to our stay. The staff were all courteous and friendly and The View lived up to its name.

The hill going up is steep. If you plan to walk to the beach and back, be aware you will be going up the same steep driveway as the cars. The property is good for those that like the solitude of having a home away from home at the bare minimum. Paying for the electricity is fine, but it is a bit steep in pricing. Using the agrab app for getting food delivery etc is wonderful though. Please note, while some tours do pick you up, some will not drive up the slope, as their car is unable to make it. You will need to meet them at the bottom or elsewhere.

This stay was phenomenal. The villa is incredible and has an unreal view of the city. The staff is lovely, and the amenities are great. My only feedback would be paying for electricity - a bit ridiculous and expensive, be aware. Other than that, wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Stay for 5 days in a group of 6. Can say it’s just an average place to chill.
