  What a fantastic stay! My partner and I stayed here for a few nights while visiting Phuket for the first time and we had the best vacation ever. All the staff was extremely kind and helpful, they serve breakfast in the morning, and we loved the pool! If you want a quieter environment away from the beach noise, but still close enough to participate in it if you want - this is your place! My only tip would be to plan transportation to and from the hotel accordingly. Neither of us have the ability to drive a scooter bike, but its optional to rent one and definitely seems like the move if you're able! We walked to and from the beach everyday, but it is a little bit of a hike! We're in our late twenties and in reasonable shape so it was a nice challenge everyday, but still a challenge! Grab cars are a cheap and easy way to get around if you cant bike or walk very far. That's the only "downside" I can really think of. 10/10 will be staying here again.

  Quite an experience

  If you want only the basics without much expectations, and only want to stay away from the noisy streets, this can be an option. However it wasn't very pleasant for us when we first arrived as we didn't feel welcomed. We were being "interrogated" as we were late to be out of customs before meeting the driver. I mean we were late, and the driver was also not to be found right away, but we were fine with the driver. It's more about being questioned at the reception as if they were ready to accuse us of being late, and assume we took another taxi which wasn't true at all. If you haven't understood the situation completely, you shouldn't have this assumption towards your customer. It wasn't a good feeling. In addition, while it was such a long journey flying there and a long ride to the hotel, the receptionist only kept listing out items that we could be charged of, including a safety box, and when we asked if we could get some water, the answer was "you could get it in the room" but the room was not ready for us to check in yet! "So you go to our restaurant and buy". It wasn't about the money, but even when we went for the cheapest massage parlour, they would serve us some water. It doesn't cost much, and it will be very much appreciated to show some hospitality as it was a long journey. A lot of things can be improved without costing a lot of money. It's a matter of whether you want your customers to feel welcomed, given that you work in the hotel industry.

  Pleasant place to stay

  We stayed in room no.8 for 4 nights, The mattress was like rock, wire sticking behind your legs when sitting on side, Not what you expected from 4* This was rectified with mattress toppers, Staff wee extremely helpful and extremely polite, breakfast was okay, a big range for different cultures. Bit away from town up a hill, about 30 minutes walk, we didn’t mind this at first, but after a couple of days our legs started to hurt, so we walked down and got tuk-tuk back for 250 baht( always had to barter). Over all good except for the mattress, which hope will changed.

  Bellissimo resort completamente immerso nella natura. Comodissimo e buono il servizio ristorazione con colazione, pranzo e cena. Bellissimo belvedere con servizio bar. Utile anche il servizio noleggio scooter offerto direttamente dalla struttura.

  Great location 3 mins drive in hills above karon. We had villa with pool but there is also a range of accommodation and a very nice pool by the restaurant. Staff are very nice and the place is very relaxing. There is a viewpoint bar which overlooks Karon and is great for a sundowner. We had a car and most other guests had scooters, you probably wouldn’t want to walk to and from town. Karon beach is probably the best we visited and Karon is definitely quieter and more laid back than kata and way more than patong. Happy to recommend this company.
