Selected rooms even come with a kitchenette, which is a great option for extended stays. My stay in a swim-up room was particularly delightful, offering easy access to the pool and a unique experience.

The resort boasts an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, garden, and even a water park. The pools are well-maintained and the perfect spot to unwind. The on-site Thai restaurant serves delicious food, and the buffet breakfast is a treat. The floating breakfast was an indulgent experience.

A minor issue with room cleaning was quickly addressed by the attentive staff. The resort also offers a free boat and golf cart service to compensate for its relatively remote location, making travel to Phuket main city manageable.
Activities
While the resort offers a peaceful environment perfect for relaxation, some guests noted that there weren’t many activities available on the island itself. However, the water taxi service to the mainland provides opportunities for more vibrant experiences. The water park and playground are great for families, and the spa offers a relaxing escape.
Minor Issues
Despite the overall positive experience, there were a few minor issues. A stench from the shower pipes and a damp feeling in the room were noted, but these did not significantly detract from the overall comfort. The pool bar’s operating hours were a bit unclear, and we had minor difficulties finding our room in the evening, but the staff were always on hand to help.
