What Are the Design and Scene Like at the B-Lay Tong Beach Resort?
Art-filled, affordable resort across from popular Patong Beach
The B-Lay Tong Beach Resort is a popular pick with travelers looking to make use of the tourist-packed Patong Beach across the street, as well as the area’s numerous bars and restaurants. An exterior covered by colorful, modern graffiti prepares guests for the interior’s eclectic mix of artwork and funky furnishings. A gold-framed king throne chair, bookshelf filled with vases and curios, and multiple seating arrangements with colorful pillows creates a fun, if a bit bizarre look. The rest of the resort also features pops of artwork, though the more noteworthy element is the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the sea.
While rooms and facilities are largely contemporary, some wear is evident and past guests have occasionally complained of service issues. The hotel does not live up to its claim as a luxury property, so travelers wanting a truly posh stay in Patong should consider the Grand Mercure Phuket Patong.
Where is the B-Lay Tong Beach Resort in Phuket?
On the slightly quieter northern end of tourist-heavy Patong Beach, near numerous restaurants, bars, and shops
The B-Lay Tong Beach Resort is located across a heavily trafficked road from the quieter northern end of tourist-packed Patong Beach. The Patong area is known for its party-friendly atmosphere, with lots of bars, restaurants, shops, and massage parlors dotting the streets. Jungceylon Shopping Mall is a 23-minute walk away, while the legendary nightlife of Bangla Road is about 20 minutes away on foot from the property. Phuket International Airport is a 40-minute drive away, though it can be much longer depending on traffic.

Rooms start at 40 square meters (430 square feet) and all have desks, air-conditioning, tea- and coffee-making facilities, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms all have rainfall showers and toiletries, plus many add stand-alone tubs.
What Features Are Available at the B-Lay Tong Beach Resort?
A sleek infinity swimming pool, small spa and gym, and all-day restaurant serving breakfast buffets and Thai food
While many guests of B-Lay Tong will spend their days at the adjacent Patong Beach or exploring the surrounding area, there are a few quality amenities to keep visitors occupied. The highlight is certainly the outdoor infinity swimming pool, which offers views of Patong Bay. A limited number of loungers under umbrellas line the pool, and there’s a poolside bar for refreshments. A small spa is on-site for massages and other wellness treatments. The compact gym has a decent array of cardio and strength-training equipment, including a treadmill and free weights.
Dining-wise, the main restaurant is B-Hive Gallery, a large and vibrantly decorated space that’s open all day. Mornings offer hot and cold breakfast buffets (included in some rates), while lunch and dinner menus have a mix of Thai and international dishes. Free welcome drinks are available at 198 Lobby Bar, which overlooks the street and beach beyond. Food and drinks are both available here until late. Room service is affordable and offered 24/7.
