The 240-room, upscale Sea Sun Sand Resort
& Spa is a city hotel with lovely gardens and waterfalls, and plenty of
interesting, unexpected touches that make the environment fun and atmospheric.
Kids are welcome, but the resort is adult-oriented, with no children’s activities,
and few child-friendly features. Sea Sun Sand is located in busy Patong, just off popular
Patong Beach, with gorgeous sunset views of the Andaman Sea. Rooms are spacious
and a little bit hip, with private balconies. Expect to pay a resort fee, and extra for breakfast.

Scene
Nondescript outside, funky and hip inside, an urban sanctuary
The Sea Sun Sand Resort & Spa is a city
hotel with a touch of the jungle in the landscaping and the garden areas, which adds exotic flair. The
street out front is busy and loud, but, once inside, the street noise falls
away, and the sound of waterfalls takes over. The interesting use of space and
creative Thai touches make the hotel seem bigger than it is. Outdoor hallways
become something far more when bordered by a wall of potted plants. The long,
narrow lobby feels special because of the abundance of glass and sunshine, not
to mention the cool glass elevators. There are sunbeds submerged in pools’ shallow
ends, and some guest room terraces drop off, right into the swimming pool. This
is an adult resort with interesting restaurants and modern decor, although
children are welcome. The quiet, relaxed atmosphere in the restaurants and
common areas, however, isn’t conducive to children running around. The free shuttle to Patong Beach and other nearby attractions makes
the resort a convenient choice with plenty of Thai flavor.
Location
In central Patong, near the beach, free shuttle to area attractions
The Sea Sun Sand Resort & Spa is located
in central Patong, on a busy street crammed with bars and restaurants,
emanating noise and pollution. Patong Beach, one of Phuket’s most popular, is
just across the road, however, and it is a one mile walk to the one-of-a-kind
Sphinx Theater, Jungceylon Shopping Center, and the nightlife scene on Bangla
Night Street. The resort operates a free shuttle to many of these attractions.
Phuket International Airport is a 45-minute drive from the resort.
Rooms
Spacious and hip, with private balconies and beautiful views
Rooms at the Sea Sun Sand Resort have a
subtly hip vibe, with large platform beds lit from below by funky blue lights,
and mod headboards. All rooms have furnished private balconies; most have
lovely beach or hill views. Bathrooms are modern, with separate tubs and
rainfall showers, and cool glass walls with blinds for privacy. Some rooms
offer direct pool access; others have private outdoor hot tubs. Amenities
include minibars, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and safes, but no
irons. Block C rooms are prime, with splendid views; Block D rooms are poorly
ventilated with unpleasant odors. Adjoining rooms are available.
Features
Two pools, exotic spa, and authentic Thai cuisine
The Sun Sea Sand Resort features two lovely
swimming pools, one with a central sunning platform, one long and narrow, with submerged
lounges. Sarocha Spa is exotic, decorated with fresh orchids, lotus paintings,
Thai sculptures, and relaxed wicker sofas. Eastern and Western therapies and
beauty treatments are available. Hot and Spicy Restaurant serves Thai cuisine
in an authentic environment, with low tables and silk floor cushions, and
photos of old Phuket on the walls. The 254 Sandy Bar is homey, and serves
coffee and sandwiches, in addition to alcohol. Sea View serves an international
menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Free Wi-Fi is available.
