Beautiful setting, spotlessly clean large rooms.
Luxurious landscaping and private pool as well as huge lap pool.

I was sorry to leave the luxurious amenities of this hotel. Unfortunately, it is somewhat distant from touring and attractions that I wished to view. A quiet, meditative holiday here would be excellent. Very close to the airport, yet secluded and peaceful.

I loved this hotel
I loved the friendly welcome and excellent service.
9.7
From the moment I walked up the steps into the foyer I new I had made a great choice. Just beautiful. My room was excellent, comfortable bed, great bathroom and lots of really nice touches, robe & slippers, lovely shower gel & hair products, mini bar ect. Then there was the pool perfect for a late night dip or a swim to the bar. Just wish I could have stayed longer.

OK for a 1 night stop-over before better things!
Close to airport, cheap, clean

Good quality for what you pay. Hotel is close to the airport, clean, provides breakfast and has a nice beach to check out. If you are going to stay for more than a couple days you should definately get a pool villa.

Peaceful getaway
The location was key to us. The northern part of the island is much more peaceful and quiet than the southern, touristy area. It was just over the creek and through a bit of the national forest to the beach. The rooms themselves were lovely. Fairly clean and very thoughtful decor.
9.3
we stayed in the garden villa, which were more private than the pool villa. yet there were some key design flaws in our villa: the toilet had an open-air feel which was lovely except for the fact that if you and your neighbor were both using your toilet, you'd be facing one another, only meters apart, and would be quite exposed! other minor concerns included the water in the shower coming out brown from the soil and the plunge pool not being as concealed with foliage as it could have been. its too bad for these problem areas because many points were so strong, yet i'm not sure i'd recommend it very highly.
Restaurant Tip:
NaiThon beach isn't far, but a bit more built up with several highly recommended restaurants. If you're just going for flavor, Jake's is on the southern end, a large yellow restaurant on the east side of the road.

Nice quiet place and close enough to beach
7.3
As our next day flight was very early in the morning, so we stayed here for our last day.
We were upgraded to Deluxe Room to Suit Room because of quiet season, however, Suit room was at 3rd floor without a lift, so it wasn't really convenient for us with 2-year-old son with all luggages and a stroller.
Room was very spacious and clean with huge bathtub. My 8-year-old son was very excited about a bath, however, water pressure was too weak to fill even 1/5 of bathtub, so we couldn't enjoy it. Too bad!
Hotel is located in a kind of remote area, however, there is good access to Naiyang beach, just 5 min walk. So it's good to avoid noise from popular Niyang beach but still enjoy good restaurant and beach there.
I would recommend this hotel to more for younger couple without kids. More peaceful and private for a couple.
All staff was very friendly and helpful too.

Nice resort, great value...
villas with private pool, outdoor bathrooms, fantastic breakfast

We stayed here for almost a week and loved it. Although not on the beach, it is only a very short walk away through a national park. The room was great and very clean. The food and drinks; however, are over priced and do not include another ~25% service charge and tax. For great food and better drink prices just walk down the beach. The hotel offers scooter rentals on site if you want to travel by yourself into the city areas. This is a good option since taxis in Phuket are ridiculous. Overall though, we had a fantastic time here.
Shopping Tip:
Do not buy a Bhudda statue unless it comes with a permit for export, it is illegal to export Bhudda images from Thailand without one and they can be seized at the border without one. Also any partial images of Bhudda, like hands or a head, are completely illegal. Most shop owners know this and will play dumb. Worst case, get a receipt and go to the government art department and they will give you a permit (5 days). We found out all of this the hard way.

Very nice hotel with good facilities
8
The rooms (Oceans) were very large and comfortable.
The pool was big and quite clean, the staff was nice too.
The only inconvenient is the location, we need to walk through the woods and cross a small river to reach the beach and get to other restaurants along Nai Yang Beach.
The restaurant is not that expensive at the hotel.
At night you'd better be back before 8pm so to be able to cross the small river, otherwise you'll have to take a taxi to reach the hotel. There is one guy that is helping you to cross the river on a sort of handcraft floating thing.
