Sugar Marina Hotel – FASHION – Kata Beach

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very close to the beach and all kinds of shops and restaurants.

good

Check in was easy, I arrived a little late in the evening. If you are looking for a place just south of the busy party life, this is the spot to be. 2 Minute walk from the beach, and 5 minutes away from food/drinks and fire dancers at night. Although not easy for airport transportation, cabs can easily get to you for transportation around the island. The room was perfect. Really worth the value.

Good stay however room a bit grubby

Nice hotel and confortable.

The hotel room wall had wter damage and we didnt have power for the full day.

It was bad. We got cigarette smell in the room and the staff said the smoke from balcony. We insisted to changed room and the room's floor was sandy and with mosquito. The only good for this hotel is near beach.

The property in a whole was fine, needs more seating around pool, usb ports in room and more shelving in bathroom

It’s got a funky vibe - loved the pool…

For the money, this is a great hotel to stay during a vacation to Phuket (Kata Island). I went during the Covid19 "sandbox" system. This meant there were very few people there. The staff was helpful but had limited English fluency (this usually wasn't a problem -- but don't expect any detailed discussions on something urgent). Even with all of the covid19 protocols, they did their best when my information got lost in the bureacratic shuffle. The rooms are what you should expect for 20 USD/night. It has a faux French feel to it. Thin but clean beds. Nice shower and bath but the construction is shabby. Everything has a 'cheap' feel compared to what they are emulating. Still, for the price, great hotel!

Fit us perfectly. It us perfectly. It fit us perfectly.

Very central location at Kata. Only 10 min walk to the beach and 5 min to restaurants.

clean and convenience ,easy to access ,late check in also provide good service

Nice Services, good location(close to the beach) But it has a limit of parking lot

The staff were very helpful and breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

Nice hotel close to beach, shops & restaurants.

Excellent hotel. The location is super, to the sea 3 minutes straight. Good cleaning, free mini bar. Minus - very dirty curtains in the room!

Friendly staff only thing is house keeping didn’t replenish the shower caps when clean tge room.

This has been my go to hotel in Phuket. They hasn't disappoint me Clean room and friendly staffs

Clean and tidy. Good value rooms in pretty good condition

The hotel location is convenient to walk around to the beaches and shops and restaurant. Their corner Marina restaurant offers cooking dishes video and excellent fresh seafood. But the property is old and needs TLC. Upon our arrival, the air conditioning unit had water leaking, lucky the maintenance crew arrived soon to fix this issue. When we check out in the early morning, the checkout staff reported missing glasses in our unit, which cause us some frustration to explain

พนักงานบริการดี ห้องพักสะอาด ใกล้ทะเล ราคาห้องพักไม่แพงเกินไป

Nice place with beautiful swimming pool , very big&comfy bed and cheap price

Economy resort close to beach right in middle of town. I stayed there 2 time. Great stay for the money if you are on a budget. Elevator was not working for 4 days. WiFi was very spotty and no hot water on second stay due to a power outage.

Great resort if you are on a budget. The staff are very polite and helpful. I’m going back!

We had a great time during our stay. The location of the hotel was ideal: just a few minutes walk to the beach. We were upgraded to a pool view room at no extra charge which was very appreciated.

Overall was ok

The hotel is nice and clean, within 5 mins walking to Kata beach. The beach water is warm and clean, excellent for body boarding and swimming. Try out the restaurant nearby - Natalie, reasonable price for delicious seafood. And you can get a tailor made suite at Harry - a good and friendly service by Chris.

We stayed here 4 nights. Compared to other places we stayed while in Thailand, this one seemed a little expensive considering the state of the place. But it was a good location and the rooms were mostly still comfortable. We rented 3 rooms and all had the same issues with the showers. mid shower they would turn cold then go scolding hot, you would have to step to the side to avoid the water because of how hot it was. It did this on its own without touching the tap. It was terrible. The taps in our bathroom were not clean they had water spots on them as did the shower glass and mirrors in the room. The bathroom sink had built up dirt and just looked old and dirty. Didn't look like it had been cleaned properly. The bed cover on my bed also had stains on it. The pool area looked a little run down, you could see the outdoor showers underneath that seperate building that overlooks the pool, had missing shower heads and weeds had started to take over. Aside from that, the room was comfortable, and the hotel had everything we needed. The buffet breakfast was the best we had during our visit to thailand. So much food. Staff were friendly.

Had an average experience at Sugar Marina Resort-Fashion. My gf and I spend 6 nights at Sugar Marina. The location of the hotel was strategic, as it is a 3 mins walk to the beach and close to many restaurants and convenience shops like 7-eleven. However, besides the great variety of choices during breakfast and the free refill of the minibar, the hotel lacks proper cleaning staff, as our room were slightly dirty when we first checked in. In addition, I would advise you to fork out additional money for a room upgrade, as our initial room choice (cheapest option), was facing a stone brick wall with no view in sight. The pool was also slightly dirty around it edges, and there is only one worn-out lift for the entire hotel, though it doesn't seem like a big problem for the guests, as most of them opt to walk up the stairs.

Unfortunately I did not have the best experience at the Sugar Marina Resort. First, the hotel is very dated and the room was not as comfortable as advertised. The breakfast is average but the cleanliness of the pool and spa is good. The main reason for my poor experience at this hotel was due to an incident that occurred when my partner and I were sick. We had become incredibly ill with food poisoning and were hold up in our room for over 12 hours. We managed to leave the room to get more toilet paper and water so we thought we could ask the reception desk to grab us these 2 items as we were unfit to go any further than the hotel. To our surprise when we reached the desk and asked for these items we were told 'it's too late, we are closed go to 7/11' to which the reception attendent returned to watching television in the back room behind the desk. I was fairly shocked and disgusted that we weren't assisted to get these 2 very simple, basic items when we were both clearly very unwell. I did not feel overly comfortable at this hotel overall and was disappointed.

Hotel looks a bit old since my last stay in 2013. Nothing to complain about. Best breakfast buffet in the area.

Stayed only for a few hours. Had a red-eye flight so wanted some place to tie us over. Checked in at 3pm checked out at midnight. The pool was small and not the cleanest so did not go in the pool. The hotel was super close to the beach but not right on the beach front, so it was a balance between price and accessing the beach. The area was pretty quiet, but I think it might be one of the busier part of Kata Beach. The waves were great for surfing when we were there. And surf house was super close to the hotel. Booked the room for the sake of going to surf house. For the price, I think it was a good value.

Great location, good wifi, comfy bed and clean room - perfect for what I needed

Situated only a 2 min walk from kata beach this hotel made it easy for us to get around the city by foot or by taxi. The rooms were ok. Bed is a bit hard. Wifi is spotty, kept getting bumped off and having to relog in. Staff was very nice and accommodating to any need we had, i.e. More towels, coffee etc. if you are looking for an inexpensive lodging option this hotel would do the trick

The hotel staff were great. The room itself could have used a bit of an upgrade. The water pressure in the shower was too low to wash my hair and the tub didn't have a plug for the drain. I ended up washing my hair in the tub and plugging up the drain with a washcloth. The fake "Prada" shoe in the bathroom was filthy.

Good value for the money. Close to the beach. The hotel staff is trying hard to be helpful. They may not understand you but will always say "yes". The buiding shows some wear and tear, but you get what you paid for.

The stay was great except for the shower. Water pressure was very Low and I requested to clean the room in the morning when am out and the staffs only come to clean the room in the afternoon .

Reviews sounded quite run down. However from my experience the hotel provide clean room and amenities are complete. I enjoyed the bathtub a lot as well. The bed is really comfy, the staff are very helpful and provide us smile and good service. I felt like the hotel have given me more than what i have paid. I am very happy with my stay.

Excellent property. Room was clean and modern. Breakfast cheaper then listed on the website, only 250THB. Excellent pool access room. Housekeeping were immaculate and very detailed. Friendly staff. Cons- 1/constant smell of smoke on the balcony when neighbors smoked. 2/Shower struggled to maintain constant temperature, had to keep fiddling with the taps. 3/Taxi took me to the wrong hotel, ensure the taxi knows the correct location as there are two Sugar Marina hotels in Kata. 4/Ridiculous closing time of the pool (8pm)

We arrived mid-July 2016, the pool was under construction. I thought it was not a big deal since the beach is only a block away. But as soon as the morning comes, the construction noise was on full blast. My only option was to transfer to a different Sugar Marina nearby. For the the one day and one night I was in Sugar Marina Fashion, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel room itself was very spacious; however, was dirty to my standard. There was sand and dust on the floors and in the bathroom. The bathroom itself was not thoroughly cleaned, which is not hygienic. I'm not sure how a deer's head trophy on the wall is considered "Fashion". I believed they tried to make this hotel an upscale-edgy feel, but didn't succeed. Even though the beach is only a block away, I won't be coming back to this hotel.

My husband and I arrived at 12.47am to a hotel that was under renovation. First, we thought that only the restaurant Black Pearl was under renovation. Upon reaching the lobby, we were greeted by an empty pool, piles of cement, pallets of new tiles, exposed wires overhead and construction workers sleeping around the drained out pool. A male receptionist grunted his hello and asked for our reservation. When I asked why the hotel was in that condition, he didn't reply but asked me to complete a check-in form and gave me the room key. I was told to stay for the night and that we would be moved to another hotel in the morning. Looking around, we realised we were the only guests of a hotel that was undergoing a complete overhaul! It was just one receptionist and vacant rooms, no lights, no aircon, nothing!!! We are shocked that the hotel is still taking in reservations knowing full well it is under renovation. I insisted that we be moved to their sister hotel immediately.

Please dont get fool, the hotel is under renovation and you will be located to another hotel which is far from the beach. Nothing is mentioned about the renovantion on expedia! Kudos expedia for an excelent information!

the room is not too clean...

great location - many things to do , see, eat around. great beach within one min. walk. the pool looks good in the centre of the hotel. though the entrance door is problematic. there is some drainage smell in the toilet.

Nice hotel, very clean and good beds and great breakfast. Nice location off street but still close to beach.

One of the best value resorts in Kata if not Phuket. Secluded in a quiet and tranquil place away from the buzzing streets of Phuket, this place offers so much for such great value. Sleep in, get up early or just switch off from the rat race, you will feel at home here. We will be back and I highly recommend this resort. Staff are wonderful always willing to help and assist.

The room we stayed for the first night has a bathtub in the room, rather than in bath room, so I felt a bit strange and asked for change of rooms. They're fully booked that day but we were able to settled in to reasonablly arranged room. Staff working here are nice and helpful. In room dining is no too pricy. If you are not looking for huge swimming pool and ocean view rooms, then this hotel is for you. It's not facing busy street so quite at night.

My friend & I stayed here for two night in December, before the peak holiday seasons. The room size and amenities are okay. It's not well built (low quality interiors, wall paint is on furniture, etc) and not well maintained. The hallway floor, the elevator, and overall is dusty. The worst thing is its cleanliness -- my bathroom tub hasn't been drained for a few days (who knows) so the tub has this yellow strain with dirty water in it, the towels have some bad smell that I had to ask for replacement. In sum, I think the hotel is a bit overrated. In my opinion, lower prices & less stars will be more appropriate.

The stay was amazing, especially the location is just too convenience!

6th year in a row staying here whilst taking part in the Kings Cup Sailing Regatta. Looked after superbly as usual by the room cleaners, breakfast staff and reception. Lovely people always with a smile. Can't wait til next December.

Friendly staff, spacious room, nice breakfast. The pool is small but hotel is very walkable to the beach so that's fine.

Stayed in a pool access room. It was ok, shower was a bit dirty. I think it needs a bit of an upgrade. Hotel staff were nice, although we had to go through 5 staff out front to find someone that could understand a bit of English. Buffet breakfast wasn't that great compared to other resorts I've stayed at, less variety. The only thing really great about this place is the location. There's restaurants, massage parlours & a bit of shopping right out front. Beach is literally not 5 minutes walk straight ahead as you walk out front of the hotel. Would I stay there again? Probably not. There are other resorts nearby that cost close to the same price that are nicer & better value for your money.

Rooms large and newly refurbished. Art Deco style. Pool view and nice location near the beach. Breakfast buffet , one of the best you can find. Everything nicely selected and excellent quality for its rating. Staff friendly and helpful. The dinner restaurant is excellent as well, try the lobster tail for 390 baht!!! The only let down is closure of the sauna and steam room.

Great location, Would consider stay again considering the budget and location. Would be great if they can work on the maintenance thought. Woke up almost every night due to the electricity going out. Would have been super creepy if hubby is not with me. all electricity going out for like 20 seconds periodically! I'm a light sleeper. Pity the pool, hate the broken tiles! Totally giving me goosebumps when I looked at the wall. Dangerous for young children as well. It's would have been a beautiful pool when it's new.

every thing is with in 200 meters ocean , food , shopping , bars all food of the streets is safe cheap & tasty beer is cheap , find the bars that have happy hours on as a cocktail is 99 bhat approx $ 4.00 aus every thai is happy & friendly every where you go it is safe & clean one thing you have to do is get partly drunk & talk to the lady boys around midnite it is a experience you will not forget in a hurry , fun times for all ages so enjoy

good as the price, but the foods this area is expensive

This is not my 1st time in Phuket , I have tried a lot of hotels , frankly Suger fashion was the best bettween all options , my self for next trip will consider the same hotel .

Awesome for solo traveller! Naiise place!! My 2nd time staying in this resort. Will definitely stay again on my next visit. Veri veri close to beach, nearby all restaurants and minimart.

Everyone was friendly and I think it was comfortable and affordable. Close to the beach and restaurants.

good location, within walking distance to everything. buffet breakfast was great, staff were always friendly and helpful to any of your needs. modern and affordable. highly recommend!!

The room was huge and spacious. The whole resort had a luxurious feel to it,and we were attended to the minute we entered with cold drinks and refresher towels while we checked in. Rooms were cleaned quite quickly considering the room size and everything you need is provided in the room (towels, robes, free mini bar). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay will be loyal returning guests to this resorts. The location of this resort is maybe a minute from the beach, the best restuarants (Natalie's and Back Pearl) were on our doorstep and so was the 7/11.

Would go back to this resort!

Very Bad service..I booked for 4 rooms for our family.. ...treating Asians like rubbish.. they forced us to wait at reception counter for more than an hour until we sent them the confirmation emails from Hotels.com.. Hospitality is zero..,even trainees are more polite than actual staff..

The hotel needs some fresh paint and touch up. Few staff speak English. Breakfast was great, great location

...3 rooms & 2 nights stay What we can say... hospitality is zero... treating Asians like rubbish.. check in for more than an hour..they will ask you to email your booking confirmation and wait untill they received it...very bad experienced ever!! treating asians like rubbish.. trainees are more polite than the actual staff...

Excellent location to nearby restaurants and the beach and great value for money. Would definitely stay here again.

Small and compact hotel. 5 minute walk to kata beach and plenty of restaurants and bars close by. Rooms are comfortable,clean and quite roomy, hotel can be a bit noisy sometimes, breakfast is very good and plenty of choice. Pool is oka, but can be in the shade quite alot, but we never used it as we spent our time on the beaches in the surrounding areas. Staff are accommodating and friendly, English is passable, but to be expected as we are in their country. Overall I enjoyed our stay at this hotel, we were their from 6th February to 27th February.

Hotel is ideal for beach access. Kata is a bustling beach area reminding me of New Jersey beaches in summer. Lots of restaurants, hawkers, crowds and tourists. A few days here is plenty. The Kitchen restaurant is Great!!

Lovely hotel within a minutes walk of the centre of Kata Beach - staff were helpful and room / pool was lovely. the Desktop computers they had wern't of much use mind - appeared riddled with viruses. Breakfast was unreal.

Its a nice hotel with well furnished and clean room.

Great holiday with the awesome stay in sugar marina. Its like a dream came true.

I only stayed for 2 nights, in overall the hotel was nice the area as well. The rooms are big and comfy and clean. The pool quite old and small. Big breakfast big variety of food

We really enjoyed staying here. Very well priced, close to the beach, and very nice staff. The breakfast is well worth the extra few $. The beds are a bit hard, but easy to get used to. We would definitely stay here again!

I had the best holiday the location was ideal the pool access rooms were perfect

This is the second time i have stayed at this great hotel resort ..its small and very friendly with great rooms that are modern and clean ...the pool is fantastic and so clean ..the breakfast is very good ..the room airconditioning is amasingly good as is the mini fridge with free beer and water and soda daily ..!!! I really like the area of Kata Beach where it is located...the beach is about 500 meters walk and its very clean with great restaurants everywhere the seafood is amazing ... People in this area are very friendly and dont hassle u like in patong beach ... I am happy to say this is one of my favourite hotels in The World ... Its a big call but its just so relaxing and clean and so lo-key its wonderful ... I highly recommend the sugarpalm fashion marina resort

The breakfast buffet was quite extensive and reasonably delicious (not the best I've ever had, but more than adequate). The hotel's rooms are big, clean and nicely decorated. The hotel itself is a 1-minute walk from 2 of the nicer restaurants in the area and a 3-minute walk from the beach. Be aware that the hotel is in Kata, which is a RM500 taxi-ride from Patong Beach, which is where most of the shopping and night-life can be found. Kata is great if you want to lounge on the beach and avoid Phuket's craziness.

Excellent room with cool decoration, cool pool, good staff and walking distance to the beach and restaurants (1-2 blocks). Only downside was the construction taking place during our stay! Recommended anyway.

As title indicates, photos does not show what this place truly looks like. Booked room for two people and they forced us to pay extra for the second person. I would not stay here ever again

We booked a 'Pool Access' room and were very glad we did. This room was located on the ground floor with a small balcony that stepped straight out into the centeral pool area. Well worth the couple of extra $$. The room was fantastic with lots of space and everything in good working order. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The reception area, bar and breakfast room were lacked lustre but this may have been due to the renovations currently underway. The staff were pleasant and helpful but not overly friendly. Breakfast was eddible but only if you sat outside away from the smell (something like old fish). This was not a problem as there is a fantastic restaurant nextdoor, Nathalies2, that is very cheap and delicious. Best location in Kata Beach. FYI: Kata Beach is a very popular spot with Russians (who are not overly friendly and like to stick to themselves) and many of the restuarants are owned by Russians or cater to them

Got the pool view room which layout, amenities and everything are ok but my friend's garden view room was MUCH MUCH spacious. Breakfast is ok but closes wayyyyyyy too early. 10:30 sharp and the staff is cleaning away the food. Other than that it's fine. Pool is small and the pool access rooms are definitely not worth it. Free minibar includes a beer, 2 bottles of water and a can of soda. Not that impressive. The Sugar Palm Hillside is much more luxurious than this one but no complaints due to the price difference. Reminds me of a well designed springbreak hotel rather than a weekend hideaway.

I must say it was the most comfortable stay and the breakfast was one of the best of about 6 hotels ive stayed in Phuket Thanks Suger Marina Fashion ill be back Pieter

We enjoyed staying at this hotel very much. Unfortunately Kata Beach was disappointing as a destination but staying at this lovely hotel was very enjoyable. We had a lovely dinner via room service and the breakfast buffet had an impressive choice of food. The pool was very nice and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and modern with a lovely balcony. It was very convenient to some shops and the beach.

Less than average. However enjoyable place! Customer service could impove a lot in restaurant and reception

Sugar marina, was okay. Breakfast was not too bad. The king size bed was made up of 2 single bed, so it kinda felt weird. The toilet maintenance could have been done better, very rusty gutters, kinda turns me off, in the hunter theme room. The tap area as well.

Great hotel with convenient location and very friendly staff. Breakfast is amazing!

Our stay was great until the end. Staff were friendly and facilities good, but showers cold. We unfortunately left our phone in our room, on the bed at checkout. When we realised our mistake about 15 mins later the phone had been stolen by one of the staff.

If your after a resort atmosphere this is not the motel. No children facilities. Rooms are average. Even though the weather is tropical, I still like a good hot shower. Water pressure poor, luke warm water. First room we were in had holes in it. Missing items in bathroom. We stayed in 3 rooms all very poorly painted. Mini bar consists of 1 chocolate bar, 2 bottles of water and 1 can of local beer. Not worth getting. Breakfast is very good value. Staff very friendly. Room service very good if you can get them (we had to order through reception).

First and only problem,lack of any draws for my clothes,the staff were great,the restaurant and staff there very professional,food excellent, rooms comfortable, clean, more than adequate,overall, a great holiday, thankyou staff.

Hotel s in right location close to beach and swimmingpool are a delight The restaurants is well priced an on the doorstep. My only complaint was the Bath towel that had its day was grey and hard . Need to upgrade Thanx for the stay at a awesome Hotel

Hotel is within walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants, taxi stand and travel agencies. Convenient and comfortable for families, couples and friends. If you are looking for an average hotel and cost is of concern, this will be quite ideal. Kata is not as popular as Patong, but we love it as it is not so crowded.

Great location in Kata beach. Free wifi and walk in pool access. Nice quiet hotel with friendly staff. Also a great beach! Highly recommend if you don't like the hustle n bustle of Patong.

Facilities: Outstanding; Value: Great deal, Bargain; Service: Go the extra mile, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Close.to beach

and close to phuket surfhouse, you can do flowriding! fun! and drink beer tower

Close to the beach and great restaurants. Breakfast was great and rooms were clean

Stylish boutique hotel in a fantastic location. Steps away from the beach and restaurants. Pool was very contemporary and just big enough to cool off at the end of the day. Breakfast was very yummy!

Small but modern design hotel. Nice location,just a 5 mins walk to the beach.nice staffs. Nice breakfast. Small car parks. A bit wiered to have a bath tub in the bedroom and not in the bath room.

Nice stay.
