We did a little tour of Thailand...
We did a little tour of Thailand last year... we stayed in the ACB Resort when we were in Phuket... what a fabulous hotel. The position is perfect as you could completely escape from the madness that is Patong! But you were also near enough for that shopping trip or meal, or visit to Simon's Cabaret (an experience NOT to be missed!!!) but far away enough to relax. There is a small private beach which is lovely but difficult for swimming, this can be done in one of the two magnificent pools. The service was impeccable, the rooms superb and the overall holiday fantastic. We also stayed at the Amari Palm Reef in Koh Samui... I think if you have the name Amari then you are guaranteed a superlative first class hotel. Go and enjoy!
