Amazing. Wonderful staff. Gorgeous rooms. Fantastic breakfast & dinner. Amazing swimming pool. We were upgraded but all the rooms are fantastic. Cheap rates as its the wet season.Kite surfing is big here enjoyed watching them all at sunset.
Restaurant Tip:
Great restaurants on Nai Yang beach, a 10 minute walk. Go in the wet season as great rates.

The swimming pool is good

We stayed there for one night, luckily just one night, the hotel is pretty far away from the downtown, the room is big but not comfortable, nearby have a small market but dirty and not worth to go, in a word, not worth the money

This is a nice hotel near the airport. My flight to Phuket arrived in the evening and didn't want to drive down to the resort areas. It's a little hard to find in the dark. Be sure taxi driver knows the resort.

Lovely hotel away from the hustle and bustle
Beautiful villas with outdoor ensuite bathrooms

Very nice stay at this new small hotel which we found off the beaten track with 2 large outdoor pools. We had good access to the many restaurants and chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Awesome buffet breakfast with lots of choice. Very relaxing. Well managed with great friendly staff. Would stay there again if we go to Phuket Thailand area.

Great service, looked after well, value for money

would definitely stay again. there is a little punt that takes you over to naiyang beach across a small canal. make sure you keep an eye on the fast moving tide as on the rare occasion you can't get across. the hotel is only about 5 mins from the airport but the planes were not audible during our stay. if you want to chill out in your room at any stage there are dvds in reception and a player in the room.

Fantastic, private hotel in the poolside rooms
Poolside apartment style rooms great, friendly helpful staff, great private location

L'Espirit is quite close to the airport and tucked away in a jungle setting close to the beach. Access to the beach is over the river by punt and a quick stroll through the national park. The beach is lovely and features rustic beachside restaurants. This gives you a chance to chat to locals and avoid the hustle and bustle of places like Kata. A motor bike could be useful if you would like to get out and about as taxis are quite expensive.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Hire a motorbike if you need to get out and about.

Great service but not the best location
Great swimmingpools, very good service, big rooms
5.3
We stayed in the hotel in a sky room. It was a big room, nice decor and big balcony. THe hotel is pretty new but you can already see that they didnt think while buidling it_ cracks in the wall, the glasswall between shower and livingroom is leaking, when is raining the cieling in the restaurant leaks.
Big swimmingpools, good for children. Very poor breakfast.
About 5 min walk to the beach but if you want deckchairs about 10 min walk. You have to cross a small dam and there is no bridge you go on a raft that is operating 7 am-8 pm. All the restaurants are on the other side of the dam so if you eat after 8 pm you will have to get a taxi back.
Restaurant Tip:
The Andaman does a great buffet with free flow of wine/beer for 950 bath!

Close to airport but far away from everything else
Nice pool close to quiet beach
5.3
We got a villa and the hotel rooms were big and spacious. Breakfast was nice as was the reception staff. But it does not look as inviting in real life as it does in the photos. There is not a lot nearby so it is good if you want something qeuiet and just want to hang at the hotel.
Cons we ordered room service and it took over 2 hours for it to arrive as the person taking the order obviously didn't understand, even though they acknowledged that they had.
The rooms were nice but not fantastic and most people don't know where it is. Our driver took 1/2 hr to find it and it is about 45 min to 1hr away from the main beach Patong. It wasn't overely bad but I wouldn't stay there again. You could get better for your money.

Brilliant place - loved it
Nice pool, quiet and good staff

i would recommend this place as its so close to everywhere. free wifi, lovely pool and fab bungalow on the pool. slept the best we have in ages. this is also close to our charity soi dog, a wonderful charity that rescues and cares for phukets street cats and dogs.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Go and see Soi Dog, if your an animal lover and care about cats and dogs on Phuket beyond - then this is the place I run the Australian branch in my spare time and just love it.

Lovely hotel with a great pool
The cleanest hotel i stayed in all of Thailand
8.3
. The resort is a 5min beachfront stroll into town but far enough for peace and quiet. The resort is much harder to access via road and the resort charges for a pick up from town or airport. The resort also advertises complimentary computer and internet usage but i found it next to impossible to access the 1 computer behind reception desk and when i finally did the receptionist asked me to get off after 1 minute as she needed to use it. One other computer was nearby but reserved for staff members only and mostly for facebook purposes.
Travel tip:
Local Taxis charge 200bht to and from the airport
