Patong Resort Hotel

The Resort & Setting

Patong Resort Hotel is an independent timeshare property in Tambon Patong, Amphoe Kathu, on Thailand's Phuket island. Guest reviews (4.2 from over 2,500 ratings) describe an upscale hotel with Italian and Japanese restaurants on site, two outdoor pools, a sauna and a bar — a self-contained base rather than a bare-bones studio block. The resort is independently run but carries RCI affiliation, which matters if you're factoring in exchange value as part of ownership.

Patong, Phuket: The Area

Patong is Phuket's most built-up beach town, and the resort's address on Th Rat-U-Thit puts owners close to Patong Beach itself, a long stretch of sand with the usual jet-ski, parasail and dive-shop operators. Bangla Road, the town's nightlife and restaurant strip, is about a kilometre away. Further afield, the Big Buddha on Nakkerd Hill and the Sino-Portuguese shophouses of Phuket Old Town are both within a 15km drive, and Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts make a well-known day trip at roughly 40km. Phuket International Airport is about 32km out, typically a 45–60 minute transfer depending on traffic — worth factoring in whether you're planning your own stay or describing access to a renter.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Patong Resort Hotel and are ready to move it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-buyer marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers. The same applies if you'd rather rent the week out for a season instead of selling outright; you list it, set terms, and deal with enquiries directly.

Because Patong Resort Hotel is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a branded transfer desk. Transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, so before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort: the transfer or administration fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resale, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published centrally, so get them in writing from the resort before closing — it protects buyer and seller alike and avoids disputes once a sale is agreed.

A resale buyer should also be clear on what does and doesn't carry over: the usage right tied to the week or unit transfers, but points balances, banked weeks, or any loyalty-style perks tied to the original purchase typically do not — confirm this with the resort as part of the same enquiry.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

Renters researching Patong Resort Hotel are generally after the beach-town convenience: walking distance to Patong Beach, easy access to Bangla Road's restaurants and nightlife, and the resort's own on-site dining and pools as a reason not to stray far if they'd rather stay close. Buyers tend to ask the same core questions — the week or season being sold, whether it's fixed or floating, the current annual fee, and whether RCI exchange rights are included and transferable, since that affects how flexible the ownership is if they later want to trade the week elsewhere.

Practical Notes

Phuket's dry season runs November to April, with December–January as peak season — the busiest and priciest time to visit or rent out a week, so list well in advance if you're renting for that window. Outside peak season, Patong is quieter and easier to navigate, both for owners visiting their own week and for renters booking last-minute.
