Many decent restaurants within walking distance and the local market was very close. There was a really nice beach on the east coast within a 15 minute walk as well. The units were well maintained with nice little touches like free water, snacks, coffees/teas, etc. The pools were nice and the property was well secured.

"Genuinely a perfect place for us to stay in Phuket. An oasis away from hustle and bustle, but close enough to important local amenities and tourist experiences. The facilities onsite were fantastic and well thought out, from the farm-to-table restaurant that saved us the hassle of finding somewhere to eat after a long journey, to the relaxing and peaceful spa with high-quality massage therapists. The room was clean and well presented, all of the staff were welcoming and friendly, food and room service options were spectacular. We couldn’t find fault with this place at all! I even proposed to the love of my life here, so needless to say, we will be back!"

10/10 Excellent
"Great room and bath, I particularly loved the shower! Beautiful room floors and wonderful bed and bedding. Great restaurant and wonderful food to accommodate my tastes and some easy Thai dishes that were just lovely. Naturally the staff was amazing! All of them were so friendly and remembered everything about me and my activities, room number and what I liked to eat for breakfast. It was so lovely to see their faces every morning for breakfast. Even the groundskeepers and other non hospitality staff were extremely friendly and kind. The pool was so cool! I was traveling with my friend’s family and the kids loved the dive platform and slide. I liked the slide very much myself. It was just beautiful and so inviting and refreshing around the pool area but I didn’t really partake in the bar but my friend’s family drank and ate and it looked delicious. Now for the serious part that I feel needs mentioning is the steep switchback paths leading to the upper rooms and the stairs leading down to the main resort areas. Mostly a lack of proper description in the listing on the Expedia app/web site. Also for a person or persons like me with physical mobility issues, the rooms on the upper levels are just dangerous to traverse and having had a better description of the property I would have made sure to book a room closer to elevators. The stairs and bridge to the building with the elevator were to steep and to dark at night. Loved the place and will be back!"
