The Slate

Excellent from Checking in until leaving. I booked a two bedroom pearl for the four of us. It came with complimentary champagne, a butler and 2 x 60 minute massages. We were treated like royalty. We were checked on throughout our stay. We had a lovely welcome gift on both our arrival and departure. We had travelled from the uk and wanted to stop somewhere before heading onwards to Singapore. This hotel provided the luxury surroundings we needed but in such a great location. This hotel offers great food both at breakfast or at one of their restaurants but we decided to eat out in the nearby town and experience good food while watching amazing sunsets. The spa in resort is truly amazing and only wished we had booked for longer as we would be booking again and again. The hotel grounds, flowers and staff are what make this place truly magical. Thankyou all for making our stay wonderful

We had a wonderful stay at The Slate to celebrate our honeymoon From arrival - when we had the best check in experience of our lives - to departure, all the staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and kind. We agreed we'd never stayed anywhere where everyone was so fantastic. All the food we had was delicious and not too overpriced for a hotel. Our bill was quite expensive at the end but we did eat in a lot, have room service, and experience both a fantastic experience at the Spa, and a Cooking Class in Moo's Kitchen (which we would highly recommend). Our room had a private pool, which we were grateful for as it was shady and we are pale / not sunbathers, but if you enjoy sunbathing it might not be for you. All the pools were great, but we funnily enough preferred the family pool as it was the biggest and had more energy. While not beachfront, it is very close to the beach and we enjoyed exploring the local area where you can get very cheap food, drinks and massages, and enjoy watching the sunset on the horizon. It's incredible how you don't notice the proximity to the airport at all, and while not the hub of Phuket it did provide a great base for exploring other places (we could visit the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay in a day). We would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone who was thinking about going, and would love to return in the future. Thank you very much, Slate team!

We stayed 7 nights at the Slate and had a pearl suite at the upper floor close to the beach and village. This was a great location and we really appreciated that the hotel fullfilled our room wishes. Below please find the pros and cons as we see the hotel. Pros - Very smooth check in with nice and clean rooms - Cool hotel design and art - In general good service - 2 Separate pools for adults - Relatively cheap hotel for a 5 star hotel Cons - No direct beach access - you have to cross the road in the village outside. And all sunbeds were reserved so you bring your towel and find a place in the shade, if you have luck.. We mostly had lunch and dinner at the beach as it was as good or better and significant cheaper than in the hotel. The beach and water is ok, but there are a lot of people. - We were very disappointed by the food at the Ginger restaurant - it is really overrated and not worth the money. The food and service is better at the Rivet. - It is a very busy breakfast service as at many other large hotels All in all the Slate provides good value for money but if you expect beach vacation with direct access to the beach and sunbeds this is not the place for you. However we always found sunbeds available by the pool.

First, a heartfelt Thank You to all the staff and management at The Slate for making our 16-day holiday stay with you truly amazing and unforgettable!! The spacious resort lay-out makes you feel very comfortable even if there are many guests. You may find the pool chairs a little close in pool areas, but nothing to really to worry about as, worst case, you just move to one of the other pools or go to the beach just across the street. The staff is extremely service-minded and appears well trained to keep customers in focus with a genuine smile, whether it’s at the front desk, in the bars, at the restaurants, the gym or in the gardens. Truly a pleasure every morning to greeted by people like Chong or Tan at the breakfast buffet. We visited the restaurants, Black Ginger, Rivet, Tin Mine and the Shore Thing, and with one small caveat, we experienced food, service and exterior/interior design of the highest class. Our overall impression is a very well managed resort with a highly service minded team. We will happily return and are already in progress of planning our next stay at The Slate. A little tip: If you are a golfer, The Blue Canyon Golf Club, a nearby 36-hole golf course, is just 10 minutes away, and you just need to bring your shoes and let Foxy at phuketgolfclubhire.com handle all the rest.

If you're in doubt, don't hesitate to book this fabulous resort - I promise you wont regret your decision! We were here on our second visit and are already planning our third! Such a beautiful place, with the kindest and friendliest of staff. We chose the same accommodation as last year, a stunning 2 bedroom villa with pool that honestly felt like our own private residence. Waking up to the sound of nature every morning was an unforgettable experience. Everything about this place is 5 star! The food, the cleanliness of the rooms and, most of all, the people! We have to give a special mention to the wonderful NIM, who is extraordinary in her organising skills and truly feels like "family". A shout-out too goes to the wonderful cleaning team - Bee, Noon and Pui - who kept our villa spotless throughout our stay. Also, Chung, in the Tin Mine, is one of the most lovely people, always greeting us with a big smile and friendly chat! THANK YOU to everyone at The Slate and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
