The Bliss is a 70-room, upper-middle-range property with a sleek aesthetic and ideal location across the street from Patong Beach. The beautiful free-form swimming pool is great for sunbathing and cocktails, and the restaurant has a terrace with stunning sea views. Many rooms and suites overlook the water, and all are polished and modern with balconies. With the beach so close, the hotel doesn't offer much else in the way of features; guests might also want to consider the Horizon Patong Beach Resort & Spa, which has modern rooms and a beautiful spa, though is farther from the beach.
Scene
Sleek hotel with a trendy vibe and relaxing pool
With its bright-white buildings, hot-pink poolside umbrellas, and glistening lobby with carved columns and glass walls, the Bliss is more modern than many of its Patong counterparts. Its helpful staff and wonderful location across the street from the white sand and turquoise water of Patong Beach makes for many return guests. The Bliss draws couples and families keen on soaking up the sun at the beach or pool, where the vibe is somewhat trendy, though tempered with lots of leafy trees, palms, and large gray boulders. The buildings' white balconies overlook the curving free-form pools, lined with black sun loungers draped in the hotel's neon-green beach towels. The Carpe Diem cafe has a covered terrace beside the pool, where guests can order drinks and catch some shade. The Carouselle restaurant has a vaguely futuristic look, with its curved, wood-paneled ceiling and plastic chairs crowding a room with sea views.
Location
Across the street from Patong Beach, with relatively easy access to nightlife
Across from Patong Beach, the Bliss is a convenient choice for guests who want to spend their days in the sand and sea. There are plenty of shops and bars in the immediate area, and the major nightlife and shopping areas are within walking distance.

Phuket International Airport in about 50 minutes away by car, and the hotel can arrange transfers.
Rooms
Airy and polished with furnished balconies and minibars; many with sea views
