Thanyapura Sports & Health Resort

An excellent place for enthusiasts of many sports. Superb tennis courts, swimming pools, a stadium. Very professional, high-level coaches. A packed schedule of group training sessions. I have loved this place for many years. It is unique in its own way. But I am deducting one star for the very worn-out locker rooms, neglected moldy baths and hammam in the women's lifestyle spa area, as well as the ruined exercise bikes in the cycling studio. It's sad to see such an amazing, luxurious place falling into disrepair. 😭

Great hotel and resort for athletes. They have it all various sport facilities, restaurants, relaxing areas, spa and wellness and a lot of other stuff and activities that I didn’t mention… Hotel: great rooms, you have everything you need there: fridge, water heater, tee and coffee, two sinks 🫣, a lot of space for clothes and a line in the shower to dry and hang up your clothes after wash ( soo thoughtful!) Sport resort: gym is absolutely amazing! There is nothing I was missing!! Pool 50m: quite old and a bit dirty but still okay to swim in. Also they are constantly maintaining it - you can see everyday people with diving gear working there. Food: we only booked breakfast - it provides a high variety of food options, plus you can also order some freshly cooked various eggs dishes. We had dinner at the Devine restaurant as well - it’s a bit pricey in comparison to local alternatives but nothing crazy. And the food was very delicious as well I would absolutely recommend this hotel for athletes! If you are not an athlete and not interested in playing, swimming, and gym than see other options for you as this place is quite further away form everything else

Facilities: excellent sport facilities for anyone into fitness, yoga, swimming, cycling, triathlons Location: great if you are here for the facilities. A little remote otherwise. European prices at the boost bar (health food & smoothies) but great food overall and great choice for veggie/plant based. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Enjoyed my stay here. The 50 meter pool was awesome, although the bottom of it needed cleaning. The cycling groups were great, but those bikes needed tune ups. Madu was great. The food there in the snack bar was okay and moderately priced. The washer dryer situation was bad. They need more of them, and more than one should be functional. The rooms were a bit run down, and as I’m sure you’ve read, it’s far from everything. All that being said, I would stay there again.

The our room smelled of sewage when we checked in, and they refused to change our room. The rooms in the far building are small. It's a jungle nearby, and anything can crawl out of it. Mine wasn't. The staff is very friendly and always helpful; Bo and another friend helped us. There are Olympic-standard sports pools. They are very lenient with bicycles.

Excellent retreat for a quick sports holiday. Booked a tennis package with 3 1-hour lessons and a 1-hour massage for a 5 days 4 nights stay. Tennis coaches were great, and gave effective instruction. Was pushed to my physical limits, but in a good way. Good facilities that were close to one another so that one could cool off and shower near to the spacious indoor tennis courts. Was able to fill up the rest of the days with free courses such as yoga, tennis cardio, meditation etc. Instructors and coaches were all patient and understanding, and most of all gave clear instructions. Thai massage at the wellness centre was a highlight for me. I had a total of 4 sessions (2x signature massage, 1x Thai massage, 1x foot massage). The masseuses were kind and friendly, and were effective in targeting and working on muscle knots. It was much needed recovery in between tennis sessions. Overall, a very recommended stay if you're looking to stay at one place to focus on your health, wellness and mental being, away from the hustle and bustle of life. Go in with an open mind and reap the benefits.

It's far from the city which is what I want. Great running trails in the jungle, waterfalls to explore near by. The sauna facilities are dark and stinky. Lockers are good enough. Equipment is great. Sports it top

I was a member for six years. However, after repeatedly witnessing unprofessional management practices, I decided never to return. Despite charging significantly higher fees than most gyms in Phuket, the facilities are outdated and poorly maintained, and member feedback is consistently ignored. 1. Feedback Is Treated as Hostility I once suggested a reasonable improvement to a Muay Thai class: “Perhaps class capacity should be reconsidered for safety reasons.” Instead of a discussion, the fitness director entered the locker room and shouted: “If you don’t like it, then quit.” During classes, the same individual publicly berated members who left early, stating loudly that he “hates people like that.” This behavior raises serious concerns about professionalism and member respect. 2. Membership Termination Without Explanation The following day, I was informed that my membership would not be renewed. No reason was provided. A gym should not function on personal favoritism. Members should not fear retaliation for providing constructive feedback. 3. Severe Overcrowding and Safety Risks Group classes frequently exceed safe capacity: ・Participants collide during weight training ・A friend’s glasses were broken in an overcrowded yoga class ・Despite these incidents, no corrective action was taken. 4. High Fees, Poor Maintenance ・Showers heavily affected by limescale ・Equipment with unclear or missing weight labels ・Rusted equipment “repaired” by simply painting over corrosion For one of the most expensive gyms in Phuket, this is unacceptable. 5. Conclusion Many capable trainers have left. Long-term members who raise concerns are removed rather than heard. After moving to a properly managed gym, the contrast was clear. This facility prioritizes image over safety, authority over professionalism, and silence over improvement. 6.Key Characteristics of This Gym ・A fitness director whose primary response to member feedback is shouting. ・A policy where memberships may be terminated if you displease the wrong person. ・Overcrowded group classes with inadequate safety considerations. ・Premium-level fees charged for outdated and poorly maintained equipment. At a well-managed gym, problems are addressed and improved. At this gym, problems are ignored—or the members who raise them are removed. A Simple Question for Prospective Members ・Do you want to train in an environment where constructive feedback is discouraged? ・Do you want to worry more about management reactions than about your training? If the answer to both is yes, this gym may suit you. However, if you value: ・Safety ・Professional conduct ・Fair treatment ・A serious training environment then the conclusion is straightforward. Before committing your time and money, consider carefully whether this is the kind of “fitness experience” you are really looking for.
