Pool at Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa
The pool experience is predominantly positive, with reviewers consistently praising the size, design, and aesthetic appeal. However, accessibility and maintenance issues temper the experience for some guests.
Recent reviews (May–July 2026) predominantly positive; mid-2025 reviews (August–October) show emergence of accessibility and maintenance concerns; early 2025 and late 2025 reviews mixed with closure and repair issues noted. No consistent improvement or decline, but accessibility issues appear concentrated in 2025 reviews while aesthetic praise remains constant through 2026.
What the reviews tell us
Multiple large, beautifully designed pools praised consistently for size, cleanliness, and aesthetic appeal—particularly the sky pool, infinity pools with sea views, and main ocean-facing pool with no-edge design

Pool operates with variable hours—some reviews cite 8 AM to 8 PM restrictions while others note 24/7 availability; rooftop pool closed during at least one recent stay
Strong overall atmosphere with amenities like swim-up bar and excellent maintenance commonly noted; described as relaxing, ideal for couples, and suitable for families with children
Some guests report overcrowding during peak season and one reviewer noted pools need renovation despite overall positive sentiment
Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa receives strong and consistent praise for its pool facilities across a diverse international reviewer base. The resort features multiple large, well-designed pools with notable highlights including a rooftop sky pool, infinity pools with sea views, and a main pool with a no-edge design overlooking the ocean. Reviewers frequently commend the pools' size, cleanliness, aesthetic beauty, and overall ambiance as particularly relaxing and suitable for couples. Specific design elements like the swim-up bar and photo-friendly settings are noted as positives. However, notable accessibility concerns have emerged: wheelchair-accessible pools lack handrails on steps, only one pool accommodates wheelchairs, and the rooftop pool was reported closed during at least one stay. Additionally, some guests report restricted access hours (8 AM to 8 PM in one instance), though another review confirms 24/7 operation. One reviewer flagged pools needing renovation, and safety concerns regarding pool entry without proper handrails have been documented. Overcrowding during peak season is also mentioned. Overall, the aesthetic and design quality is excellent, but operational and accessibility aspects require attention.
Pool access hours and operational status vary across reviews
One reviewer (claim 323872, May 2026) reports pool access restricted to 8 AM–8 PM; another (claim 288604, June 2026) states the pool operates 24/7; a third (claim 329419, May 2026) complains pools close early and only open at 8 AM. Additionally, one reviewer reported the rooftop pool was closed during their September–October 2025 stay (claim 335093), while multiple other guests praise the sky/rooftop pool as a standout feature. These contradictions suggest either operational changes, variability by pool facility within the resort, or tier-based access (e.g., premium package access to certain pools at certain hours).
