9/10 Wonderful! (10 reviews)

We stayed at this property July 10-18 this hotel was very quiet not anything going on. Just relax swim, gym or a peace of mind. The breakfast was included with our stay. Not sure if that’s for everyone. It was very close to the mall. We literally walked there every day. They kept running out of ice. It was pretty far from a lot of activities. So if you looking for do more activities just be mindful you will have to travel a little distance. Overall it was a good hotel. Would recommend for people who only want to relax chill. But the view was beautiful

8.8/10 Excellent! (36 reviews)

We visited Phuket to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The Villa was nice and quiet, and we really liked to thank the management for the early check-in after long flights from Melbourne. However, the property has a few issues that would be better if the management fixed them. Firstly, the housekeepers need to be more thorough in their cleaning and clearing tasks. Secondly, the bathroom in our room was leaking; every time we had a shower, the whole bathroom was on the verge of flooding. Thirdly, the tap in my son's bathroom was leaking and dripping. If we put these issues aside, we enjoyed our stay.

I booked this property as a Expedia Gold member for the VIP room upgrade. I was advised there is no rooms available to upgrade, however a quick search online showed they had 3 rooms available! Very shifty and money hungry. They should not join the Expedia VIP program if they have no intention of participating. I wouldn’t of booked this hotel had I known I won’t be afforded my benefits.
