A top drawer experience for us anyway, it was full but didn't look it at all, plenty of beach space all day, we never booked or waited on a table in any restaurant, or for loungers, lots of free space round the pools. Free transport to and from your villa to anywhere in the resort, we never had to call them, as they were always waiting at various pick up points ready to go, day or night. Only con I can think of is...as you are on an island the speedboat shuttle is timetabled and the last boat back to island is 3.30pm not giving you a great amount of time to enjoy stuff properly on mainland.

My partner and I stayed one night in the Seawater pool villa. The web check in could use a face lift. It was slightly confusing with getting to the Ao Po Grand Marina but the staff made the process smooth with the check in process. The staff were courteous and professional which made it welcoming on the island. There were not many variety of food options but overall 7.5/10 and payment for the food is billed when you check out which is a unique approach in comparison to other resorts. The layout of the island is carefully planned and what caught my eye was the waterfall and pool one of the center pieces of the resort. I would recommend to my friends and family if they travel to Phuket. The overall energy was relaxing and I could feel that from the other guests that they enjoyed their stay.

This was my second stay at the resort and it has lexceptionally beautiful surroundings but lacked eating options all the food is the same in the restaurants and it gets quite boring after 3-4 days of looking at the same menu with nothing much around. They didn’t divert from the menu. A perfect stay here would be around 3 days from my experience this time as it does get repetitive. The staff used to be extremely caring and helpful but at felt times they couldn’t be bothered. All the staff seemed young and lacked experience. I asked for a spoon from a waiter and he asked why I needed it. All in 6/10

Never again
I did not enjoy my stay at all! I came to visit and potentially have my wedding at this place. There were a few times when I did not feel comfortable here, but the situation at the restaurant was definitely the worst. I had scheduled a luxury dinner at the beach, and when we arrived, they expressed concern because my shoulders were not covered. I was confused because earlier in the day, I saw many people eating in the restaurant in swimsuits. They told me that because there were in a Muslim community, I wasn’t allowed to eat like that. I got very frustrated because I respect all cultures and religions, but there was no introduction or any information from the hotel informing us about this, nor were there any signs. Additionally, the AC in my room did not work. I couldn’t fall asleep at all, and although they let me sleep in a different room, it was already the middle of the night. The only thing that was absolutely lovely was the spa! However, you don’t have to stay at the resort to go to the spa!

The view of this property is beautiful. Not a lot of activities going on throughout the resort. When we arrived at the port, they took our luggage’s and 2 bags of gifts. We trust them to put our stuff together and not lose them. It turn out they lost our 2 bags of gifts, they found it later but delivered to a wrong room and eventually it got tossed away by the other guest or workers. We kept close communication with them through text and phone call but still resulted in losing our 2 bags of gifts. With some angry exchanges, they did eventually compensated us for our loses. This kind of ruined the mood for our first day at the resort.
