So here is the thing this resort itself is beautiful and we had a pleasant stay. However getting here was the biggest scam….. so the hotel states we should book the transportation 48 hours before the check in as you can only get there by a boat but they sent this email about transportation and how to get there 1 day after I booked and my fault was I booked it the day I was going to check in . So long story short we needed up paying 4500 Bhatt just to get there… also another 1800 to leave the island. I just wish the hotel had been more clear on how to get there as well as there schedule for ferry service

This resort is gorgeous and includes several activities and night shows. Our villa was impecable and so original. After 5 days in Phuket we felt like being at this hotel was the cherry on top! We regretted not coming sooner! We traveled with my 4 year old daughter and we had so much fun participating in Thai dance class, enjoying live music and fire shows. The only downside is that the hotel is far from all excursions and is pricey to reserve their speedboats which is the only way to get to and out of the island

This property was amazing. The pictures don’t even explain the beauty. I loved it. I almost cried leaving. The beach is beautiful, the restaurants amazing and the staff great. The only problem is that you can only leave the property at 10 am and have to be back by 4 pm because it’s only accessible by speed boat. So if you need to do something after 4 pm, you can’t get back to the hotel. So beware of that. So maybe 3 nights here and the rest elsewhere

I got food poisoning from a Wagyu steak that almost got me to the hospital. The response from the hotel is to ask me to sign a release form before I left, after deducting only the cost of the steak itself from that meal. Food was very bad, which should be considered on long stays. Best to get delivery and not room service as food. We had only pizza and vegetarian pad Thai for a week after the food poisoning. Employees look miserable working there, which we haven’t seen anywhere else. Everything is extremely over priced. Food and laundry more expensive from even hotels that cost for one night as much as this hotel costs per week. Seems ridiculous and greedy.

Had to wait 30 minutes in the heat for a car to pick me up while also being sick with a cold and fever. I couldn’t get out of bed the day before and my girlfriend asked if she could take food from the breakfast buffet back to the room and was told we can’t. I guess I shouldn’t eat if I’m sick. Overpriced food and activities. The free Muay Thai isn’t actually free because you have to pay 450 baht per person for hand wraps. 6 hour motorbike rent was 1000 baht.
