Pool

As a family of 4 adults and 2 young children, we chose to stay in one of The Slate’s Pool Villas, and I’m so very glad we did. The overall space was HUGE, with 2 separate bedroom “huts”, a lounge /dining “hut” and a massive private pool.
The perks that came with the villa were extraordinary.  A butler ( who was amazing, nothing was too much trouble ), complimentary laundry, a free drink per person per day, daily afternoon tea, fully stocked minibar every day, complimentary dining ( twice if you stayed 6 nights ) complimentary massage and many others that we simply didn’t get around to using.
Because we were there for 6 nights, we got an in villa BBQ which was brilliant !!!

Fantastic Family Holiday

Wow this place was amazing. Rooms were generous, champagne on arrival. Great pool areas including adult only. Staff were very friendly & accommodating. Loved the gym classes they offered every day. Muay Thai class was. Great location only circa 10 minutes from the airport

Luxury hotel stay, great location

Wonderful hotel made even more wonderful by the staff who cannot do enough for you. We are currently on day 7 of our 11 day stay, and cannot fault the level of service. We chose the hotel to celebrate a special wedding anniversary and are so glad we did. We chose a pool suite, so have a plunge pool. The room is beautiful, only slight negative for me is half the pool is under cover so shaded, so doesn’t get the full benefit of the sun which I would have liked, but I can see the shaded area would be a plus point for many. So much seating outside, spoilt for choice.  I can see some have mentioned the power outage after a particularly bad storm, and I’m glad to see the comments on how well it was handled, it really was dealt with professionally and the staff kept a smile on their face despite having very testing circumstances to deal with. We remained at the hotel despite the option being given to move, and we managed fine, power was restored within a couple of days and in the meantime they still managed to keep a restaurant and bar running. 

The mosquitoes are mentioned quite a lot in other reviews, and they are definitely an issue, which in tropical climates I think is a given. My husband reacted quite badly to them, we ended up speaking to reception who advised us of a very good pharmacist on the village road at the back of the hotel, and they were so helpful, it turned out he needed treatment and that was sorted straight away and thankfully that helped massively. Make sure you bring a lot of spray, but the hotel do provide it in your room, along with other things like the mosquito coils and more spray in the bars and restaurants. 

The food has been top quality, we arranged the chefs table for our anniversary and that was a fabulous evening, not a cheap option but for a special occasion definitely worth it, we were so spoilt.  If you want to venture out for food there are plenty of options on the beach road.

All in all we have been blown away, I think if I were to return and wanted a pool I would probably book the pool villa room, but if you just want a cooling dunk in the water then a pool suite will be spot on.  The staff are the making of this hotel, they are superb!

Amazing hotel with superb staff

The slate was booked for me as an overnight stay to end an 11 week tour. It was the perfect hotel to end my weeks exploring south east Asia.
The hotel is impressive to walk into and the staff are kind and attentive.
I was greeted with a lotus flower for my wrist a delicious drink and much needed cool flannel.
I was taken to my room which was impressive both for its size, beautiful decor and the smell of the oil burning in the burner. 
The oil burning smelt gorgeousxand all the shower products, body cream and mosquito spray are all the hotels own brand name with natural oils. I forgot yo buy some oil fir burning, but did purchase other products.
There were 2 balconies, a large roll top bath alongside a beautiful walk in shower. Very tasteful and I will use some of the interior deco ideas at home.
The bedding is beautiful quality and the bed was very comfortable. Such a shame it was just one night.
I went ot and came back to find my curtains shut, mosquito coil burning which made sitting on the balcony so pleasant.
I used the restaurant, the service was excellent as was the food. The wine was so nice after many weeks of none whilst touring. Welcome treat for my return home. The staff are just so beautiful, they go the extra mile.
Breakfast is superb, there is something fir everyone. The choices of food are incredible . The fruit choices are unlimited and healthy choices are easily made. 
I walked around the grounds but dud not have the opportunity to use all the facilities.
It was an incredible experience and made more special by such lovely staff.
Thank you.

Exceptional stay

The Slate is in a great location, ten minutes from the airport on Nai Yang beach in North West Phuket. It is very handy if flying in late or if you need to leave early.
The grounds are huge but easily managed, either by walking or making use of the efficient buggy service. The Slate's gardens are superb, cared for by a team of able gardeners. The standout to us was the rows of bromeliads in varying colours.
We originally booked a Pearl Bed Suite but decided to upgrade to a room with a pool, which proved to be a good decision. Our early morning dips were a great way to start the day.
The Coqoon Spa is top class, with choice of oil and very high quality service and massages. 
Several restaurants and bars are available, but we found the Tin Mine to be of consistently high quality and with reasonable prices. Daily breakfasts were also at the Tin Mine restaurant and were simply superb. There was a large variety to choose from and they served cappuccinos and hot chocolate in large mugs (their hot chocolates are the best!). Service was wonderful, especially from lovely Choong.
We dined one night at the Black Ginger restaurant and it was a very pleasant experience. Our meals were world class, the chef was delightful and service was excellent. To add a unique touch, entry to the restaurant was via a barge, propelled by rope pull across an exquisite pond.
Within a short walk of the resort is the Nai Yang village, with shops, cafes, restaurants and massage shops. The restaurants were cheaper but the quality was disappointing, so we would recommend dining at one of The Slate's restaurants.
Nai Yang beach is just a short walk away and the waves are gentle. The resort has two adults only pools and one family pool. We thoroughly enjoyed the adult pools, in particular the one with the Plumb Bob swim up bar, which we made regular use of.
The Bensley architecture was impressive, but we must say we were not impressed by the "industrial" decor throughout the resort. Some may like it, but it is not for us.
Overall, The Slate is a wonderful resort and we would strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to rest and revitalise.

We loved The Slate!

The hotel is close to the beautiful Nai Yang Beach. A variety of restaurants and bars are located nearby and Phuket town, with its shopping and nightlife opportunities, is a 40-minute drive from the resort. Facilities include a lobby with 24-hour reception, hotel safe, currency exchange, cloakroom, a café, bar and restaurant, a hairdressing salon, a games room, conference facilities, and Wi-Fi. Guests can also use the room and laundry services. Parking facilities are available. Younger guests will love the playground and the kids club, with large screen televisions and computers.
