Bottom Line
The 117-room Nipa Resort is an affordable, mid-range property with a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere in the bustling Patong area, a 10-minute walk from the beach. A traditional Thai style pervades throughout, and the activity centers around the main courtyard pool with an adjacent bar. Rooms are simple but attractive, and well-outfitted with air-conditioning, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and shower/tub combos. All have furnished outdoor spaces, some of which have direct access to the main pool or a jetted pool. The restaurant serves international fare all day, though most guests report food being mediocre and breakfasts limited. Other amenities consist of a small spa for massages and wellness treatments, free Wi-Fi and parking, and tour booking services. Cheap rates make this a good value, but travelers willing to pay more for a stay across from the beach in Phuket should consider the upscale Holiday Inn Resort Phuket, which has tons more features.

What Are the Design and Scene Like at Nipa Resort?
This family-friendly hotel has a laid-back atmosphere and affordable rates.
Opened in 2008, the mid-range Nipa Resort is a low-frills, family-friendly property that appeals to budget travelers. It’s situated in the buzzing tourist center of Patong, surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops, and clubs, and just a 10-minute walk to the beach. Despite its location and kid-friendly vibe, the hotel remains largely peaceful and without much noise. Instead, the atmosphere is relaxed, yet fun, with guests cooling off in the pool or grabbing a drink and popcorn poolside. The design is traditional throughout, with pagoda-style structures, gold artwork, and elephant fountain sculptures at the pool. While some areas look like they could use a refresh, the overall feel is clean and well-maintained.
