Phuket Rajabhat University

NOT AN ADULT ONLY HOTEL! it's a very family oriented hotel with one small adult only bit at the back. You still have to deal with screaming children and absent-minded parents at the breakfast buffet everyday. Don’t say it’s adults only. It's really big so you have to get around on a golf cart. The pool and whole resort seems very badly designed and some thing seem like a law suit waiting to happen, especially the pool and the bath, the entire pool perimeter is covered by marble tiles which is the first thing you step on as you get out… MARBLE? wet feet? Law suit! Also the tiles of the pool are a camouflage colour, and so are the stairs around the pool, so you will randomly walk into stairs, as they’re invisible. The bath is also built for people around 6 feet or taller, as I struggled to get in an out, and having a shower the edges flooded and went all over the floor, so we needed extra towels everyday. The reception staff were nice, however the bar staff and pool bar staff were always angry looking and seemed like when you ordered from them, it was the worst part of their day. Our fridge was also leaking all over our floor, however after the 2nd person looked it, they seemed to fix it. Bad stuff out of the way, the entertainment was nice at the sky bar, a really nice band called strings of the streets. The restaurants weren’t much except for the Talay Thai on the beach, best Thai food we had on our whole holiday, and everything was only 100 baht.

Amazing hotel offering a jungle feel at the beach

This very exclusive property was wonderful - first and foremost the staff led by Kris attended to every need, helpfully when needed, leaving you in peace when not. We had the beachfront room, lovely views, and very spacious and comfortable. Food was great, they have fresh fish prepared anyway you like - along with a deep menu of Asian and western dishes. A big breakfast (included) carries you most of the day - fresh fruit pops up often as a thoughtful snack by ever vigilant staff. Despite being the highest level of resort in the area, food and services are very reasonably priced. The pool was nice to read alongside, and so pretty at night lit up - the beach in front was quiet and a nice spot to swim and walk along. We scuba dove a few days - and the people we spoke with didn’t love their hotels as much as we loved ours.
