What if you still want to relax in Thailand with the good old all inclusive?
About 5 years ago, fans of three meals a day and active hotel entertainment would have to sigh sadly and choose a hotel with breakfasts. Today, “all inclusive” tours to Thailand have a place to be, although, rather, as an exception, not a rule.
We have collected the most popular offers of "Turkish style" rest from tour operators for the resorts of Phuket, Koh Samui, Khao Lak and Krabi. Of course, let's estimate the prices in our review of the best options.
Should you take all inclusive in Thailand?
A common truth: Thailand and vacation all inclusive - antonyms. Too tasty local cuisine, too busy educational program and too cheap cafes near the beaches.
In our opinion, all-inclusive tours to Thailand are justified in the following cases:
- if a family with a child / children is flying, little conservatives will not like the spicy and very specific smell of tom-yam and pad-thai, and all inclusive hotels, as a rule, offer European cuisine with familiar dishes. Plus, I will like the presence of children's clubs, playgrounds, etc.
- if there is a strong desire to have a rest "like in Turkey" in winter. Turkey itself is already cold by this time, but Thailand is very hot. Traveling at 6 pm by plane - there and back - is a dubious pleasure for a week of vacation in the "hotel-beach-hotel" mode, but if you are ready, why not?
In all other situations, we do not recommend considering an all-inclusive vacation in Thailand. Book the hotel with breakfast and enjoy your fleeting days to the fullest, returning to your room closer to midnight. 🙂
All Inclusive Tours to Phuket Island
It is not surprising that Phuket has the largest number of all inclusive hotels. The most popular resort with good sandy beaches, and even beloved by tourists with children, must have a dozen of these hotels.
All inclusive tours to Phuket are offered by such companies as Pegas Turistik, Sanmar, Tez Tour. On average, prices departing from Moscow are kept at 180,000 rubles for two for 10 days.
We made sure that the most profitable thing is to search for the trip of your dreams with the help of online services that compare tours from all tour operators. We made our superchip trips to Spain, the Emirates and Thailand (by vouchers) thanks to:
- Travelata
- Level.Travel
- Onlinetours
Finding a last minute tour to Phuket in an all-inclusive hotel is almost impossible to implement. The hotel is more likely to prefer regular price accommodation for guests who have chosen breakfast, rather than reducing the cost of high-priced all inclusive.
TOP 5 All Inclusive Hotels in Phuket
Among all the variety, we have identified the following all-inclusive hotels in Phuket.
- 5 * Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket
The hotel has the highest tourist reviews on TripAdvisor and RoomGuru. Located on Karon Beach, one of the cleanest on the island. Everything here is done so that vacationers do not even have a thought to leave the territory: three meals a day with 4 types of kitchens, a fitness club, a spa center, a playground, a club and, of course, a secluded private beach with the finest sand and turquoise sea.
Prices for tours to Thailand all inclusive with accommodation in Centara start at 300,000 rubles for 7 nights for two.
- 5 * Sunsuri Phuket
Despite the declared 5 stars, this is an economy class hotel, i.e. everything is on the level, but no frills. Located in the south of the island next to Nai Harn Beach. To the sea 10-15 minutes on foot, so there is a free shuttle that delivers and picks up tourists 5 times a day. Everything is good in Sunsuri Phuket - food, rooms, and small entertainment - except for one thing: the hotel is on a hill, and the path to it consists of hundreds of steps.
Prices for tours to Sunsuri in 2021 start at 210,000 rubles for 7 nights.
- 5 * Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa
Phuket's all-inclusive hotel map is also marked by this worthy complex. A huge territory is located 500 meters from the noisy beach of Phuket - Patong, but, nevertheless, silence reigns here, and only the chirping of cicadas and the happy laughter of children can be heard. The hotel is very popular with family tourists.
Prices in 2021 for 7 days at Diamond Cliff are kept at around 171,000 rubles for two with a flight from Moscow.
- 4 * Andacura Beachfront collextion Panwa
These are the budget 4 stars among the all inclusive hotel division in Phuket. In principle, this does not affect the service: cleaning is carried out daily, they are greeted warmly, and the food is varied. It is located in a picturesque place, completely isolated from the local inhabitants, and this can be a disadvantage for those who still want to get to know the island better. In addition, by about noon at sea there is a strong low tide.
For 7 days, prices for tours to Thailand in 2021 with accommodation in Panwa Boutique start at 195,000 rubles for two.
- 5 * The Village Coconut Island
The hotel is located on the neighboring island of Phuket - Coconut Island - therefore the territory is quiet, calm and uncrowded. The disadvantages also stem from this: the prices for food and fruits are extremely overpriced, there is a lack of entertainment. The beach is also not very attractive, vacationers are taken to swim on another island - Rang Yai. Reviews of tourists note the meager children's menu.
The price for two for an all-inclusive tour to Phuket with accommodation in The Village is from 170,000 rubles (departure from Moscow).
Tours all inclusive in Pattaya
The request for an all-inclusive vacation in Pattaya is quite massive. Perhaps people are guided by the fact that since the resort is considered a budget resort, then all inclusive is cheaper here. However, searches usually end in nothing.
Pattaya does NOT offer all inclusive. In principle, it is not designed for a more or less decent beach holiday (at least within the city limits), because a muddy and muddy sea with drifting debris will make few people want to swim. Pattaya is about entertainment, cheap food, cultural and educational walks in parks and temples. Spending time within the walls of the hotel is simply sacrilege. 🙂
So, don't look for an all inclusive resort at the resort. Catch better last-minute tours to Pattaya! You can fly from Moscow for 20-25,000 rubles per person.
All inclusive tours to Khao Lak
Khao Lak is something of a nature reserve in Thailand, where you are not crowded by numerous tourists, and merchants and skilled masseurs do not bother on the beaches. Located near Phuket - 80 km from the airport - and surrounded by national parks.
Khao Lak's coastline is worthy of a travel brochure cover. Hotels are located in the midst of lush tropical greenery - not to say that they are far from civilization, but there is a feeling of real unity with nature and the water element. For a quiet family vacation, the resort is ideal, however, as well as for a romantic one, therefore all inclusive is present here.
Our list of the best all inclusive hotels in Khao Lak:
- 4 * The Sands Khao Lak by Katathani
This is the most popular accommodation with a lot of positive reviews. The main audience is Europeans with children, pensioners from China and "stray" Americans, there are few Russians. The nearest village is about 8 km; The hotel territory has everything you need: a private beach with the purest sand diluted with picturesque boulders, shops, currency exchange offices, bars, restaurants. A wedding ceremony can also be held for you. 🙂
Weekly all-inclusive tours to Khao Lak with accommodation at The Sands cost from 265,000 rubles for two.
- 4 * Apsara Beachfront Resort & Villa
What will surprise this hotel? Three pools, one of them with slides and hydromassage, an extremely varied buffet, a spa, rooms or private villas with a private pool, complete privacy and tranquility.
Prices for two for a trip to Thailand all inclusive at Apsara Beachfront will start from 275,000 rubles for 7 nights.
- 5 * Sentido Graceland Khao Lak Resort & Spa
Reviews of the more stellar Sentido Graceland are slightly worse, mainly due to the "shabby" rooms and unfriendly staff. But about food, as well as about children's entertainment, everyone is satisfied - every day a new cuisine, interesting animations and a kids club.
A 7-day ticket to this hotel costs 177,000 rubles for two.
All inclusive tours on Koh Samui
Samui - an island with an excellent coastline and a favorite place for winterers, party-goers and families with children at once - is also gradually being drawn into the all inclusive sphere.
All inclusive tours on Koh Samui are offered at the following hotels:
- 4 * Centara Villas Samui
Located on Natien Beach, in its own private corner, away from the bustling Chaweng and Lamai. It is impossible to catch the rhythm of a popular tourist resort here, but all inclusive is designed for this - to entertain when there is nowhere else to be entertained. 🙂 Library, sauna, rental of equipment for underwater adventures, good condition of the rooms - the hotel corresponds to its four stars.
A seven-day voucher with accommodation in Centara Villas will start at 147,000 rubles for two.
- 5 * Sareeray Villas & Suits
The hotel is located on Chaweng Beach, at the very beginning, i.e. like and in the middle of all the "movement", but at night he sleeps peacefully. The most significant plus is the small number of rooms and, accordingly, few tourists. Friendly staff, delicious food in the bar and restaurant. The center of the island is 3 km away, getting there is no problem.
Prices for tours to Koh Samui with accommodation in Sareeray start at 210,000 rubles.
All inclusive tours in Krabi
In the province of Krabi, all-inclusive hotels are very tight, but thanks for that too! 🙂
The only hotel that delights vacationers with full food and entertainment is:
- 5 * Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort
The reviews are enthusiastic, with the exception of one important point - swimming in the sea. The ebb is very noticeable. In addition, the bottom is exposed, strewn with corals, and it is very easy to cut the legs. They are fed with dishes of Indian, Thai cuisines; there is a pizzeria. The rooms are expensively decorated and furnished to the highest standard.
All-inclusive tours to Krabi with accommodation in Sofitel for 7 days cost from 201,000 rubles for two.
