We recently stayed at this hotel and it absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. The entire property is filled with beautiful, photogenic spots, there are many Instagrammable locations around every corner. What truly made our stay special was the exceptional and friendly staff who consistently went out of their way to help us, even assisting in organizing a tour. We dined at both restaurants on site and enjoyed delicious food in spacious, comfortable settings. The location is perfect: it's just a calm and easy 10-15 minute walk to Karon Beach, with two 7-Eleven stores conveniently located along the way. Furthermore, the hotel's efficient transport service, with golf carts always available to drive you to any point within the property, added great convenience. We would give it a solid 10 out of 10 and will definitely choose this hotel again when we return to Phuket.
