The Thai island Phuket is a very popular holiday spot, thanks to its beautiful beaches, interesting nightlife and Thai cuisine. The island also hosts many of the top hotel brands, which also includes the five-star Hyatt Regency.
Normally, a room would normally cost ~€135 per night with a refundable member rate with breakfast. However, this deal not only offers stays cheaper than that at €109 per night but also comes with some extras, such as an upgrade and US$100 (~€86) to spend at the hotel.
To book this rate, you need to create a free profile on ASW’s website. The availability is best in September. Please remember, that you have to pick four green dates to get the lowest rate.
Information & Tips for Phuket
Phuket is famous for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife in Patong, cultural sights like the Big Buddha, and nearby islands such as Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay. The local currency is the Thai baht (THB), and credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. Prices in Phuket can vary; luxury resorts and fine dining can be expensive, but there are plenty of affordable options for food and accommodation, especially outside the main tourist hubs. The weather is tropical, with a hot, humid climate year-round, and the best time to visit is during the dry season from November to March.
We’ve compared various esim providers, such as Nomad, Airhub, and RedteaGO. To see which plan is best for your travel needs and which network offers the best coverage, feel free to read our detailed guide:

You would book either a King Bed Room or a Twin Room which both measure 46 square meters or 495 square feet. The room is spacious and has a table with a chair, a sofa and a closet. The bathroom has a proper bath and a shower. The price includes an upgrade, subject to availability. Most likely to an ocean view room or a family room. The Ocean View rooms are the same size, while the family rooms are 20 square meters larger. Here are some pictures of the King Bed Room:
The rate is refundable and also an eligible rate to earn World of Hyatt points and nights.
The Hotel
The Hyatt Regency Phuket is situated in the Western part of the island in Kamala Beach. The airport is a 45-minute drive away with a surprisingly quick bus option: 53 minutes from Kamala Beach (however, you’d need a ride to the bus stop anyway) at THB 100 (~€3). Nearby are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets. The area is generally marketed for families (so is the resort), although according to Phuket 101, the nightlife has improved in recent years.
The hotel has over 200 rooms and has a large selection of facilities such as the island’s largest infinity pool. There’s also the Nahm Spa and a 24-hour gym. The dining options include the Pool House Kitchen, the Bohemian-style Casa Boho, the Mizu Teppanyaki Japanese restaurant and the One 80° Pool Bar.
To give you an idea of what your $100 food credit is worth: A Pizza Margherita at the Pool House Kitchen would set you back THB 518 (~€14), while ordering a vegetable Pad Thai to your room would cost THB 353 (~€9).
The hotel enjoys a 4.4/5 rating on Google with an overwhelming amount of guests praising the property and service. The resort’s shortcomings – according to some reviews – are the bathrooms and accessibility. A few reviews also dislike the air conditioning and the TV. TripAdvisor shows a 4.5/5 rating with its fancy new AI review summary tool, which comes to a similar conclusion as I have reading Google reviews.
Price Check
This is a real 4-for-3 rate, where 3 nights cost €435, and 4 nights also cost €435.
Hyatt itself charges €537 for those same 4 nights, i.e. around 25% more, and you wouldn’t even get the upgrade and US$100 (~€86).
If you are not planning to book for 4 or 8 nights, or you don’t want the ocean view, you can find better value by booking this hotel with the German tour operator TUI starting at €90 per night. Yet in this case, you won’t get the perks of ASW and have to complete the booking in German.

Wir waren im August da, es gab ein Upgrade auf eine Suite mit Zugang zur Lounge, gebucht über TUI, Zimmer war sauber, aber schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, Frühstück war super. Getränke in der Lounge sind gut, das Essen ist es nicht, im Poolhouse schon, aber teuer. Der Service war sehr gut, als wir in eine Suite mit eigenem Pool wechseln konnten, hatten wir Besuch von einer Krabbe, einem Frosch und einer Kakerlake, das ist aber landestypisch.
Der Regen im August war sehr angenehm und ein ständiger Begleiter.
Thank you very much!
