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.

PositiveStrong evidence·based on 63 reviews

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.

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

Serious accessibility gaps: wheelchair-accessible pool lacks handrails on steps, only one pool wheelchair-accessible, and entry/exit difficulties reported due to missing handrails

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

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).
