Sugar Marina Hotel -AVIATOR- Phuket Airport - SHA Extra Plus

Location and clean room with a big bathroom. Gym and pool were fantastic.

A location that exceeded my expectations. I chose the hotel for its proximity to the airport (you can get there by walking in 10 minutes), the stay being for the last 2 days of the vacation. A clean, well-maintained hotel, without improvisations or utility defects. If the hotel had been in the city center, I would have been happy to spend my entire vacation there.

I personally liked that the hotel is away from the crowded tourist areas although its 40mins - 1hr drive (roughly 1000baht by taxi) one way to all the popular activites which might be inconvenient for some people so i recommend hiring a car/motorbike, theres a legitimate car hire company next to the hotel so you dont have to worry about being scammed. Food around the hotel is also alot cheaper, the currency exchange place down the road has the BEST rates I've seen in all of Phuket (I was comparing everytime i saw an exchange place and every single one was lower), staff was amazing and very helpful, its a 24hr front desk so theres always someone there willing to help. Our room was clean and comfy. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and was kinda regretting moving to a different hotel just to be closer to the tourist spots. Wasn't worth the swap to be honest. We should've stayed here for our entire trip :)

We stayed here for a day and a half after arriving back from PhiPhi, as we just wanted somewhere close by for us to get our flight. This hotel is super close to the airport, upon check in the helpful ladies at the desk organised our taxi for the next day. The room was nice and the beds were comfy. Food in the restaurant was good and the pool super quiet, so we enjoyed some sun and pool time before our flight. I'd definitely recommend this hotel if like us, you want somewhere cheap and cheerful before you go to the airport!

The staff is welcoming and helpful and very flexible. The hotel is in aviation decor very comfortable with walking 10 min distance from airport, all street and fresh markets on main road. The hotel has a gym and swimming pool. However, cold water is mostly shadded, good for swimming.
