The Slate

Another fabulous stay at The Slate in Nai Yang Beach. The property is fabulous, and it is great to see they continue investing to improve it. The team really make the experience that level above, and a special shout out to Apple, Sao, Choco and Dip, who really did make this stay more than special. Can't wait to return in the future for another epic holiday!

The Slate is an oasis my family and I return to for the last 10 years, and one we can count on to be reliable in comfort, ease, and where we can let our hair down from the busy grind and come together to build happy memories as a family. Whenever we visit, it reaffirms why we don’t bother looking elsewhere despite the many alternative options available. Beyond the exquisite resort, the staff are one of the many gems here. The service and attention to detail is bar none - which I feel is rare and a dying art in hospitality today. We have had the best nights sleep here without fail, best massages of my life in the caring hands of Khun Apple and Sara. Khun Boy and Khun Ian always work so hard poolside to ensure our cups are always full and our food quickly delivered, Khun Sue at ensuring our tables were cleared immediately and drinks were always topped up never skipping a beat. Khun Pui and Khun Fon who care for the children so well, and offer a variety of activities for the kids who always look forward. Housekeeping always on point and the delicious food across all restaurants. Not enough characters for me to continue on my love letter and why we choose The Slate again and again, and I have high standards. They have met all of them.

We have recently returned from yet another wonderful holiday staying in The Slate. Words fail me, the hotel is incredible, we never tire of being there. It is lovely every time we return the staff remember us and genuinely make us feel so welcome once again. We have got to know many of the staff over many years. Sue Green & Kung at breakfast, Althea Love & Mai at breakfast on an internship from the Philippines. Sripare at the underground. Our housekeeping young lady Nuch Chi - our room was always kept immaculate. Choco Ian Dif & Nai at the pools we appreciate the constant supply of drinking water. Peter the manager is always around & is happy to stop to have a pleasant chat. The design of the hotel is incredible, we always find something new that amazes us. The proximity to the airport is a bonus. We can’t wait to return & have already booked again for 2027 !

I was sceptical at 1st, but I can honestly say that this hotel & the service was EXCEPTIONAL. We stayed in the Bensley Suite, which I also wasn’t sure whether or not to do during booking, but staying at the Bensley suite was just incredible. We were greeted with a bottle of Brut on arrival. You get all the snacks for free in the mini bar (& there’s a lot, chocolate, haribo, crisps etc), all the drinks including alcohol in the suite are free, but the most unexpected & best thing was that you also get x2 60 mins massages included for free (1 for each adult), as well as a 3 course meal for free in 1 of the restaurants. This is surplus to 2 daily alcoholic cocktails for free & your own butler, who is available at all times. I was so so so impressed. I can be hard to impress, but my goodness this hotel & the suite were out of this world in terms of service & amenities. I could go on & go, but staying here at the end of our trip was such a treat. We stayed with our 2 kids & the activities for them were phenomenal. There is a packed schedule with things to do, including running in a water ball on the pool, painting, making tie dye T-shirts, arts & crafts, archery. The list goes on & on. We stayed at x3 different 5 star resorts on multiple islands in Thailand, including the Rosewood Phuket & Rosewood Bangkok (which to be clear are also amazing) & Centara Reserve in Koh Samui, but this hotel is up there with some of the best hotels because of the service, the staff & the facilities. My kids loved it the most of all of the hotels. Having our own pool was great as it was a haven away from the main pool when we wanted time on our own. The food was also exceptional & especially the room service food, which normally can be ‘blah’. They also provide a free transfer to & from the airport & they gave us a free late check out without us even having to ask, as we weren’t flying until the evening. Touch was our butler & she was proactive, booking things like our massages for us, as otherwise we would have forgotten, suggesting restaurants & booking for us to secure tables. As soon as we arrived she brought inflatables to our private pool for the kids & us & checked if there was anything she could do. Even ordering a buggy to the room was so easy & straightforward, by texting on WhatsApp & the buggy would arrive within 5 mins. This is A MUST if in Phuket

beautiful hotel on lovely grounds. Exceptional service.
