My
wife
and
I
decided
to
stay
here
with
our
two
young
children
for
our
anniversary
in
May
of
2022
at
the
end
of
a
month-long
trip
in
southeast
Asia.
My
wife
surprised
me
by
arranging
a
room
upgrade
and
7-course
dinner
on
the
beach,
and
wow
did
they
pull
through!
Our
stay
was
unfortunately
short,
only
two
nights;
we
would
have
stayed
for
a
week
if
we
could
have
done
the
trip
differently.
We
look
forward
to
booking
another
international
vacation
through
Phuket
so
we
can
stay
at
this
resort
again!
RESORT:
The
resort
is
beautiful!
The
windowless
lobby
with
multiple
shallow
bodies
of
water
has
panoramic
views
of
the
beach.
Buggy
rides
were
available
from
the
lobby
to
our
room.
We
did
not
venture
off
property
by
foot,
only
by
van
arranged
by
the
hotel
or
the
unaffiliated
boat
tour
we
booked.
The
resort
is
located
only
about
20
minutes
from
the
airport,
and
probably
about
an
hour
from
the
town
of
Phuket,
though
we
did
not
go
that
far
during
our
stay.
ROOM:
The
room,
#9201,
was
huge.
It
is
probably
the
biggest
available.
After
opening
the
entry
door,
you
enter
into
the
main
living
room,
probably
40-50
ft
long,
ending
at
the
first
balcony
door.
Across
from
the
entry
door
is
a
half
bathroom,
which
is
next
to
the
walkthrough
closet
with
doors
on
both
sides.
In
the
main
area
is
a
sturdy
dining
table
with
a
bench
on
one
side
and
two
chairs
on
the
other,
a
couch
and
table,
side
table,
TV,
one
sliding
balcony
door,
and
two
sliding
doors
leading
to
the
bedroom.
In
the
bedroom
is
a
king
bed,
two
end
tables
(attached
to
the
wall),
a
bench
at
the
end
of
the
bed,
a
day
bed/couch
with
a
small
table,
and
standard
height
table
and
chair.
From
the
bedroom,
there
is
a
pair
of
sliding
doors
leading
into
the
very
large
bathroom.
In
the
main
bathroom,
there
are
two
sinks,
a
toilet
room
with
glass
wall
and
door,
a
standalone
tub,
a
rainhead
shower
with
two
glass
walls
(one
with
door)
and
a
small
bench
attached
to
the
wall,
and
a
large
bench
in
the
middle
of
the
room.
The
other
side
of
the
walkthrough
closet
leads
into
the
full
bathroom.
STAFF:
The
staff
at
the
resort
was
one
of
its
best
features!
From
check-in
to
early
morning
checkout,
we
felt
welcome.
The
executive
chef
greeted
us
at
our
first
happy
hour
at
the
lower
level
restaurant.
He
asked
if
the
food
was
to
our
liking
and
if
any
adjustments
needed
to
be
made.
We
really
appreciated
this
interaction!
The
hotel
manager
greeted
us
multiple
times
during
the
stay
and
interacted
with
our
children
to
help
them
remain
engaged
and
entertained.
During
our
dinner
on
the
beach,
our
dedicated
server
kept
our
son
entertained
between
courses
by
playing
with
him
on
his
tablet,
which
is
not
normally
easy
to
do.
The
one
time
that
our
expectations
were
not
initially
met,
we
voiced
our
concern,
and
the
issue
was
rectified
in
a
way
that
turned
the
night
around
completely.
FOOD:
My
wife
and
I
enjoyed
every
special
happy
hour
cocktail
from
the
lower
level
restaurant
and
separated
bar,
ordering
multiple
of
a
couple
of
them
the
next
day.
The
multi-course
beach
dinner
was
well
worth
the
cost
in
our
opinion,
even
though
the
weather
prevented
all
of
it
from
being
enjoyed
in
the
beautiful
setting
prepared
for
us.
The
breakfast
buffet
at
the
upper
level
restaurant
was
tasty,
with
a
variety
of
options,
an
omelette
order
form
available
at
the
table,
a
special
drink
of
the
day
(we
had
the
delicious
butterfly
pea
flower
tea,
same
as
check-in
drinks!),
and
fresh
juices.
Because
of
our
early
flight
home,
the
staff
prepared
a
boxed
breakfast
with
various
pastries
fresh
fruit,
and
other
items,
which
was
much
needed
and
appreciated!
