well, this is a posh hotel. nice architecture once yuo step into the recetption area. the hotel covers a huge area and has many facilities and restaurants. The reception wasnt really friendly per the Thai standard, i have had better service attitude at other Phuket hotels. I was persuaded to upgrade to the ocean view rooms. Well, I must say the view is not fantastic though i had a discount for that. I also did not find the room as big as those I stayed in other Phuket hotels (Dusit Laguna, Le Meridien Royal Yatch Club, Kata Beach resort).
This is a hotel by itself and is exclusive and has lots of privacy. the private beach is great without the intrusion of the hawkers. Unfortunately the wave was very strong during our 6-day stay there, the water was murky and our children didnt really enjoy the sea. the hotel swimming pool is huge and we spent most of the time there. but it end up quite boring after a while. the hotel has a few interesting activities that offer the guest at no charge, we tried the golf, archery, basket ball, table-tennis to keep the children busy.
we had most of our meals in the hotel. While it is more expensive, i think it is of good value with live entertainment every evening which my family enjoy very much. and BTW - children under 12 enjoy the dinner for free. good deal.
Transportation to Patong area is convinient and easily arranged through the hotel's private care at 330B per trip. Returning from Patong is easy as well, we paid 300B for a private aircon car. the open air tuk tuk will charge 250.
overall, it is a nice luxury hotel to relax with lots of privacy and quick access to Patong though a tad more expensive. I will certainly check the current / wave next time when we stay at Phuket next time.
