Radisson Resort & Suites Phuket

Radisson Resort & Suites Phuket occupies the former Swissôtel Suites property at 100/10 Moo 3 in Kamala — a suite-only five-star resort a short walk from Kamala Beach rather than directly on the sand. Phuket International Airport is 25 km away; Radisson’s own estimate is about 30 minutes by car, longer once you hit Phuket’s traffic.

Every room here is a suite. One-bedroom layouts run 43 square metres, two-bedroom suites 64 square metres, and the three-bedroom premium suite tops out at 95 square metres. Family versions add separate sleeping space for kids, while the terrace and pool-view options are really just a choice of outlook on the same floor plan.

The lagoon pool is the centrepiece, with a children’s pool, water slide and kids’ club right alongside it, plus a fitness centre, spa, steam room, free parking and three restaurant or bar concepts. It’s a genuinely easy pick for a family trip, though the pool area gets lively during school holidays if you’re after quiet.

Insider Tip: Ask whether your suite faces the pool or the gardens before you pay extra — pool-view keeps you close to the action, garden-facing suits anyone who wants to actually sleep in during a holiday with kids.

Booking.com shows the resort at 7.8/10 from 867 reviews — a guest score, not the same thing as its five-star classification. Radisson’s own listed 4.0 rating on its site is also a guest-satisfaction figure rather than a hotel-class rating.

Check-in starts at 15:00, check-out is by 12:00 — book transport ahead and search under the current Radisson name, since older maps and listings may still show it as the Swissôtel.
