This is a picturesque resort on an island 5 minutes courtesy boat ride to and from the east side of Phuket. Spacious, well spread out accommodation amongst lush green grounds. Lovely large room with, in our case, an outside jacuzzi. Good facilities (spa, gym, multiple pools, ample sunbeds, paddle boards, canoes and sailing dingies). We really enjoyed our time at the resort (8 nights), but we did have a few niggles: 1.) the jacuzzi really needs maintenance daily to remove debris (leaves/dead insects etc), ours was cleared once may be twice during our stay and although we asked on 3 occasions for it to be cleared it wasn’t meaning we didn’t use it the 2nd half of our stay. 2.) hot water - the temperature of the shower couldn’t be controlled it was either scolding hot or cold, no in between. 3.) food was limited if you are vegetarian or vegan (although they do try to accommodate), and pricey (unless of course you are on an expensive package!).

As our first stay here we were not disappointed. Our room was clean and well presented with air con, cleaned daily. We had regular updates for things happening around the hotel and area through their app, which was really helpful for booking transport to and from the island, as well as booking experiences if we had wanted to. Different entertainment each night ranging from relaxing music experience to fire shows. The staff were incredible, always service with a smile and always did their best to help in any way. They really made our stay smooth and enjoyable. Food was wonderful and well presented, with a lovely variety of cocktails. Service in the UK could really learn a few things. Thanks for making our stay such a wonderful and memorable time. An experience we will forever treasure. Read less

Pleasant stay, great staff, cool pools. Though the water at the Beachs was not good, no visibility and a little dirty.

The service, food, cocktails, cleanliness, pools, room comforts were all the best. The only slight feature I could suggest improvement in is the range of wines in the all inclusive package (no bubbly and only one red wine). The location is also excellent if you want to day trip to Phi Phi, Krabi or James Bond/Hong Island.

Staff so friendly: John and another bar stuff which I can't recall now his name were top. The food was so fresh and exotic, so many varieties to choose from. Every evening were different types of entertainment. And many activities to do during the day. All amenities so clean. I highly recommend.
