Cruiser Island By Swiss-Belhotel

Quiet location and safe for solo female travellers. The staff are so friendly and welcoming.

The property is just beautiful.It’s located on a quiet island so ideal for older visitors who want some peace and a place to relax.

So you do get the feeling about being at a secluded island. The hotel is actually nice, and so are the rooms and the pools. The personnel is nice, friendly and helpful. If you want to get away from the noise and walk on the beach and feel isolated go there 2 days.

The beach is sad as all the trash from Phuket comes to the beach and it is impossible to avoid it. So either the tide is high and you can bade in the water with trash or the tide is low and there are so many corals that it is impossible. You can jump from the pier but there are no stairs to climb up, so you need strong arms. It is a shame about the beach because otherwise I actually like the place. The food is okay but not good and everything cost the same 300 bath. You can freely take the kayaks but you are on your own.

The location was amazing. So close to chalong but felt like miles away. The beach villas were simple, spacious and had everything we needed. Lovely pools (3) , great beach for swimming at high tide and beach combing at low tide. Staff were brilliant with the beach tirelessly cleaned of dropping leaves. We liked the no night entertainment just peace and quiet. Amazing bird life if you like nature you will love it.. however ensure you have plenty of insect repellent. and we couldn’t fault anything..

There’s nothing we didn’t like, but the resort needed a little TLC which could be sorted very quickly with a little help from the owners. Replace the main pool shower head, provide more pool loungers for when it’s busier and accompanying drinks tables. Replace the umbrellas which have passed their best. The shop has no snacks in so take your own. Just a general smartening up is required but don’t let our findings detract you from going.

It was idyllic - tropical island with literally about 4 people there… fabulous, quiet, lazed around on the beach, swam in the sea. Staff were incredibly attentive and kind making sure I was ok at all times. They went out of their way to give me the best food and the breakfast was amazing. The little bungalow was quiet and well kitted out-perfect for an island retreat. Comfortable bed and very clean. Good wifi everywhere. The pool was perfectly clean and well looked after. If you choose Thai food it is really well cooked and freshly made. Remember this is a very small island so they have limited supplies.

I loved this place and stayed 3 days… but it would not suit some people. Very quiet, nothing whatsoever to do. Completely dead in the evening. The menu is quite large but for fresh well made food it’s best to stick with Thai food rather than international. They have beers and cocktails-all the usual drinks but I followed advice from others and took some snacks and drinks. There are sand flies-take insect repellent and they don’t bother you. So perfect if you want total escape, quiet and isolation.

It could be the most amazing hotel. However they are understaffed. I wish they could put more effort into the food, maybe a smaller menu would help. It takes a long time to get food. Such a lovely island
