The Coriacea Resort is a pet friendly hotel in Mai Khao. Located just a 10 minute drive from Phuket airport it’s the perfect location if you arrive late at night or leave early morning. It’s a stone’s throw away from the beach too so you can wake up to amazing views in the morning. If you walk about 10 minutes further down the beach you can also watch the planes landing and taking off at the airport. Such a cool sight as they get quite low when landing!
We booked our room on hotels.com as you get a free night for every 10 nights you book through them. We paid 3,400 baht (£76) for a sea view room including breakfast. Pet fee was an additional 500 baht (£11.25). We didn’t get anything included for the pet fee, it was just an extra money maker for the hotel. So a big thumbs down from me on that front.
The Room
The room itself was nice. It had a big comfy bed and a great sea view over the swimming pool and on towards the beach and the sea. It was nice and clean and decorated in a modern style with a small seating area next to the window. There was also a balcony with a couple of chairs so you could sit and enjoy the sea view.
The Hotel
The hotel was also pretty nice. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There was a big swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers and it was easy to do lengths. They have a restaurant which had a good choice of both Thai and Western food at typical hotel pricing. Both meals we had here (lunch and dinner) were pretty tasty.
Dogs weren’t allowed indoors in the restaurant but there was a table outside that we could sit at together.
Breakfast was served in the restaurant and you could order a la carte dishes along side a small buffet selection. Choice was quite reasonable.
Conclusion
This is definitely a hotel I would go to again. Especially if I was flying from Phuket airport and wanted to be nearby. It was a good location, nice beach, friendly staff and nice clean, modern rooms.

The only thing letting the Coricea down as a pet friendly hotel in Mai Khao was the pet fee. You all know I hate paying pet fees and this was a bit on the higher end. Not only that but you didn’t even get any dog snacks for it. So that’s the biggest area for improvement.
