Pool at Mida Grande Resort Phuket
The resort's multiple pools are a standout feature with stunning views, warm water, and excellent layout. One minor complaint about sun exposure on the main pool; otherwise, consistently praised across recent reviews.
Strong positive consistency in 2026 reviews (13 claims from January–July 2026), with overwhelmingly favorable sentiment. Single negative claim (shade coverage issue) also from 2026 (March). Older 2025 and 2024 reviews (2 claims) remain positive. No evidence of decline over time; recent experiences align with established positive pattern.
What the reviews tell us
Multiple pool areas with stunning views: rooftop pool, main pool by bar, Lunar Pool with 360-degree sunset views, and beach-view pools offering panoramic vistas of Surin and Bang Tao beaches.
Water temperature consistently warm and pleasant, with at least one pool heated and open until 10 pm for evening swimming and sunset viewing.
Excellent aesthetic experience: sea views, sunsets, and atmospheric sea breezes combine to make the pool setting memorable and romantic.
Pools well-maintained, uncrowded with ample seating and space available throughout the day.
Main pool lacks adequate umbrella or shade coverage during hot periods, leaving guests exposed to intense sun.
Mida Grande Resort Phuket's pool experience is one of its strongest assets, consistently earning praise from recent reviewers (predominantly 2026 reviews). The resort features multiple distinct pool areas—including a rooftop pool on building 4, a main pool by the bar, a Lunar Pool with 360-degree sunset views, and a building 7 pool with panoramic beach vistas—giving guests genuine variety. Water temperature is regularly noted as warm and pleasant (claims 278108, 287702, 284076), with one specific pool remaining heated and open until 10 pm for evening swimming and sunset viewing. The aesthetic experience is exceptional: reviewers consistently highlight stunning sea views, beautiful sunsets visible from multiple vantage points, and the atmospheric quality created by gentle sea breezes. Maintenance standards appear sound, with pools described as well-kept. Crowding is not reported as an issue, with at least one reviewer noting plentiful space and room availability throughout the day (claim 286941). The only notable negative concern is inadequate umbrella coverage at the main pool during hot periods (claim 287694), a localized comfort issue rather than a fundamental design flaw. Overall appeal and design elements are strong, with multiple reviewers citing pools as a standout resort feature.
