"The Slate exceeded our expectations in every way. We have travelled widely and don’t usually return to the same place but this one can’t be beaten. We have now visited four times and will be back. Thank you for the perfect serenity."

"Having stayed in many hotels in different parts of the world, The Slate Hotel (formerly Indigo Pearl) has lured me back since 2009 many times, and if it wasn't for Covid there would be a couple of more visits. From it's large rooms to its beautiful sprawling gardens, it's a low rise resort in a quiet location with a village just outside the hotel. From it's 3 pools to 4 restaurants, Black Ginger, Rivet, Tin Mine to Tongkha Tin Syndicate, it's everything from more formal to casual dining. Head outside the resort towards the beach early evening and you'll be rewarded with a magnificent ocean sunset, another plus, after a long flight The Slate is only 10 mniutes from Phuket airport. Aside form all this what really makes The Slate special are the wonderful and friendly staff, from the breakfat crew, to housekeeping and reception to personal attention from the hotel manager Peter Wagner, all deserve a thank you from me."

"Well, I don’t even know where to start. The Slate was our last minute booking as the place where we were staying before was a great disappointment and I didn't want to remember my last week of holiday in Phuket as miserable. So, I found the Slate via Luxury Escapes, liked the reviews and the location, so I booked. WOW, I didn’t regret that decision. From our arrival to the departure we were treated like the dearest guests, always greeted with smiles, the staff were always eager to help and make our stay even more comfortable. I had an impression that the hotel have thought of every detail, you need something they’ve already thought about it and delivered it to you. We just couldn’t find any faults. By the way, the bedding in the room was fantastic, I even purchased some from the gift shop to take it home. I’d also recommend the Black Ginger for dinner. Just go for the experience. While the food was alright, the vibe of the place was 10 out of 10. And check out the restaurant’s bathrooms. I’d definitely recommend the Slate. My only advice, if you are a light sleeper ask for a room on the top floor away from hotel bars and children’s pool, the rooms are not very sound proof. Otherwise, no complaints at all. Ah, and the breakfast was superb. Those little danish pastries were to die for."

"The Slate is a beautiful hotel with a really cool and unique style. The restaurants are stunning, and the food is delicious. The staff provides top-level service with warm smiles and a real desire to help. They arranged a stunning decoration of flowers and balloons for my 10 yo birthday. Our room was spacious, super clean, and well-designed. The pools are fantastic, and the beach right outside is gorgeous. The location is also wonderful—it is just a 10-minute drive from the airport, and the street along the beach has a great atmosphere, filled with local restaurants, massage places, street stalls, and a 7-Eleven. Highly, highly recommended!"

"The location is fantastic- close to the airport (short journey) and with a comfortably sized beach village out the front. No craziness and trash of patong. The food is phenomenal (esp. Black Ginger). The kid friendly pool is great (but could do with some shading). The hotel is great and high standard guest oriented service. The rooms, grounds and facilities could do with a refresh and sprucing up but overall not a reason not to visit (the tin mining theme is looking a bit tired and dated). Staff are great. Hotel comfortable. Perks (free transfer, 1x free dinner, all very welcome)."
