Most importantly, the resort itself is beautiful and the beaches are gorgeous. Highly recommend if you are going to stay on the resort for majority of your stay. This is a more laid back part of Phuket with less traffic. If you want to explore, this place is FAR AWAY from everything. The resort only offers a shuttle into town 3x a week. I’d recommend grocery shopping for snacks and such to bring back in town. Go on a Monday so you can take advantage of their local night market. The resort itself offers INCREDIBLY overpriced dining. Walk along the beach to a local spot for true Thai food at the costs you’d anticipate for Thailand. Outside of the location of the resort, the amenities are sparse. The TV has only a few channels and though it’s a smart TV, it’s not equipped for you to link your streaming accounts. Only in room water is free, so bring your water bottle with you if you dine in an on site restaurant to avoid the added charge. Also, they seemed to be out of many liquor options - again go to town and buy the liquor you want, make your own drinks. The room is beautiful. Nice, firm, large bed. Soaking tub. Good size shower. Awesome bidet. We got the pool room and we took advantage of the pool after hours - it’s not heated. Would I come back here? If I was looking to stay and relax, yes. To enjoy more of a Phuket, I’d choose a closer location to more off site amenities.

The beach is the nicest thing about this hotel. Too many mosquitoes in the rooms, bath water is yellow, everything needs an update. Rooms look nothing like the beautiful lobby. Pool is good. Overpriced. Need a car to get local food.

Everything was fine

Very pleasantly surprised - food in the hotel and next door on the beach was great. Very helpful staff and a very pleasant 2 day visit to get over the jetlag.

A nice place to stay, beautiful sandy beach with 3 rock area's just off the shore but perfectly swimable between them, not a concern. Open area so pool gets some wind blown debris in the pool along with some sand but is still very nice, great size and pool bar easily accessible. Property is large and was quiet. Nice for a romantic stay.

Unfortunately this is a very outdated resort. It has an amazing location, but the interior is from the past and long time no refurbishment. The service personal is friendly, but lack tremendously on knowledge in food and beverage. Food takes too long and often require a reminder, the quality of drinks is medium, the folks doesn’t know basic recipes for drinks.

The beach and serenity is first class

Excellent beach and pool. Breakfast and a la carte menu of the poolside resturant are great.

I loved the location to be alone. It was very quiet and empty and the beach is incredible. Sunsets were fabulous! I was a little surprised that the staff did not speak much English - they could get by but because of the language barrier I double checked two reservations and both were not made. This was important and I caught it in time. If u want mixed drinks, don’t. Not good w then and wine was over priced. However I loved the yoga and Mui thai fitness classes I took. No one else did so they were one on one w the great instructor. Overall incredible place to get away and be alone. Breakfast buffet was Very Nice!

The beach view from the window of the hotel room is only so-so, mostly blocked by the trees and landscaping around the pool, which is nice. The hotel is well designed with a Thai Buddhist theme in the lobby and modern standard hotel rooms. There was a bit of a smell in the room when we arrived but it may have just been the cleaning chemicals in preparation for us as it seemed to go away after the room aired out. The area is majority muslim so it wasn’t difficult for us to find halal restaurants but the hotel is far from everything but the beach so be prepared to spend a significant amount on and time arranging taxis compared to hotels on Phuket. Only hotel subsidized transportation is to/from the airport every other day. Concierge was helpful in finding informal driver Nikki to take us to local pier to visit James Bond Island and Koh Panyee for 1500 Baht round trip plus 3500 to rent a boat with pilot for a day. But the 1700 one way trip to Phuket Town felt more expensive. Overall I think this hotel is mainly for those who could use the pool and quiet beautiful beach much more than we did and don’t plan on going many other places.

Think it was the off season so not a lot of people. It’s very quiet and peaceful didn’t have to walk far the beach was right there. I really enjoyed it.

The breakfast was great, restaurant staffs were very nice and attentive. Beach is calm and clear. The room was very dated, smelly and moldy, there were mold everywhere in the bathroom, shower area, bath tub. Front desk staff was not welcoming.

Hotel rooms are dated, stains here & there. Time for renovation. Rooms do not provide toothbrush & toothpaste - have to go reception to ask for it. Given only 1 shower cap in room even though we've two pax staying in the room. But front desk service staff are helpful. Was served a cool welcome drink when we first arrived.

Excellent Service from all the staff and great food.

Good Beautiful sea. Good staffs. 100 baht round trip to the market because nothing around. The nearby Thai restaurant is delicious. Bad Wi-Fi signal is too bad. Guide mainly in Russian.

The European staff was not polite! No smile, no hi - nothing! We had the biggest cockroaches in the bathroom , I have ever seen and there was mold in the shower! But the beach and breakfast was good!

This is a very tired resort in a beautiful location. Apart from the large pool area which is great and the adjoining beach most of the resort is in very poor condition and in many places some of the buildings would be condemned. The local staff were friendly and helpful but the amount of maintenance required was overwhelming.

Resort staff was friendly and helpful. Check-in was a breeze. However, the rooms were in need of some refurbishment. The warm water in our shower was not working well and the shower head could be replaced.

The hotel has a lot of potential, but we had many issues with this hotel from the moment we checked in. We had to wait over an hour after the check-in time for our room. When we entered the room, the telephone system in the room wasn't working, the shower door/toilet door was completely broken off and we did not receive a welcome fruit basket while all our friends did. Because of the inconvenience, they offered complimentary massages at their spa. We slept well the first night.After we attended our friend's wedding nearby & came back to the hotel late at night, we noticed a horrible smell in our room. Our friends in the room next door also noticed the smell. It was so bad that it started to give us headaches after being in the room. We checked to see what it was in the room next to us because we had heard some drilling in the empty room during the day. We saw that they had either painted or put some kind of lacquer on the wood. We knew if we stayed there, it would be hazardous to our health. We all requested to be moved to different rooms, and the 4 of us were moved to different rooms in the middle of the night. When we got to the new room, it smelled moldy and the lamp shade was moldy and there were stains on the couch. This was NOT nice for a "5 star" property where we were paying extra. We complained to the manager and he said he would refund us for the 1 night, but when we checked out, the receptionist said we had to email Expedia for the refund.

Poor WiFi reception at the room.

The hotel is amazing. It has everything I needed, e. g. Sauna, Steam bath, gym, a fantastic beach and big swimming Pool. The room is huge and complete except for the TV audio which was poor and the safe deposit box which was not working. The location though is far from civilization and therefore you can’t find a place for a quick purchase of small items and massage. Its massage Service is so pricely. Food is excellent and price very reasonable. Staff are warm and accommodating.

Arrive late, everything closed

Arrive late, everything closed

This hotel is a disaster, despite having a last minute discount offer for our room! When we checked into the room it was crawling with ants, including in the bed. Hotel moved us to another room but their reason for the room being so dirty and pest infested was “we are dealing with nature here.” Isn’t the rest of the world? The overall condition is run down, it’s in need of a good wash and lick of paint to say the least. We did come off season, but it makes no excuse for everything being run down, our private villa pool not working or the staff being in general not overly enthused to be helpful Finally, if you still want to stay here (!), save your money on the breakfast. It’s a disaster. The “warm” food options are cold, they don’t turn the heat on the trays so the food is cold. When you ask staff, this is normal. Eggs are cooked on a bbq style flat pan, which meant our fried eggs had a comfortable lick of black grease underneath. Drink options are help yourself, and I still haven’t found to this day how I get a cup of tea, despite asking twice. We came to check this place out as an option for our wedding guests to stay in. I’m glad we did, there is no way I will be recommending it to them.
