Frommer's Review

Welcoming staff make the Burasari a great choice if you prefer it chic and petite; just don't expect a sea view. This teeny-weeny resort-styled hotel has been squeezed into the middle of a soi just off the main drag, and styled as a contemporary hanging-garden resort. The stylish rooms set amid a narrow courtyard of waterfalls, pools, and greenery are delightful, fusing a delightful blend of contemporary, and rustic Thai design -- however, they are rather small. At ground level, some have sleek open balconies dropping right into the pool, but these afford little privacy. The overall result is refreshing in essence, but rather claustrophobic, compared to the other sprawling resorts in Patong. For these rates and convenient location, just a stroll to the beach and madness of the main street, though, it's worth sacrificing on size. There's also stellar dining, courtesy of a new restaurant branded by the 1980s Brit TV chef, Keith Floyd.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; lobby lounge; 2 outdoor pools; fitness room; spa; tour desk; airport transfer; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
