Mom Tri's Villa Royale, Karon

Overall, another amazing stay at Mom Tri's Villa. Service at breakfast though was extremely disappointing. But let's say that is just a detail considering that Mom Tri's Villa is located in the most incredible place right by the sea and the villas and the rest of the personnel are fantastic.

We stayed in this wonderful hotel as part of our tour of Thailand. It was by far and away the best hotel we stayed at. The configuration of the grounds and property allow for an incredibly intimate feeling. We stayed in a villa right on the ocean with the sound of crashing waves from our veranda and a beautiful view of the beach. Staff could not have been more gracious. Excellent food, wine, bed and linens. The hotel is not fussy or fancy ... it is perfectly lovely; respectfully of the natural surroundings; and inclusive of the Thai culture.

This is a truly good level of a hotel with one of the swimming pools with sea water which is good since the beach is quite some steps down and it is not and easy thing to find shadow there. Fantasitc view from the room. Not many people you see around you all the time, you have the feeling of being on your own villa, still you might meet people there :) Another great thing that we liked was the breakfast! the fruit and fresh juices from the fruit you pick, no crowds, no queues, even though the hotel was fully booked. real king size bed in the room and big balcony with coaches. Welcome basket with fruit and a complementary cake the next day :) The only disappointment that I had was to find diapers for my kid in the nearby. I had to walk for 15 minutes into Kata area and several shops just didn't have the size I needed and none of them had swimming diapers . But I think it is an easy thing to improve for the hotel and have diapers in there :)

Amazing place. Since I only had 3 days to spend in Phuket (1st time), I decided to spend a little more money to try this resort. I'm glad I did. Atmosphere and ocean view was amazing. They sort and clean your room twice a day and in the evening, leave you little pastry treats on your bed/table - A nice touch. The beach can be accessed directly from the resort and this place is located at the edge of town. Oh I should also mention this place is very quiet. Their buffet is amazing with great service and selection. Amazing views wherever you are at the resort. The only downside during my stay was poor TV reception/quality and ocean facing infinity pool was wasn't clean for 2 of the days I was there (leaf debris and other plants), so I ended up using their other pool. Definitely worth returning to!

This was our second time to stay at Mom Tri. What a gorgeous, relaxing property on a beautiful beach. You cannot beat the views from the bar and dining areas, plus the many lovely swimming pool and garden spaces. Terrific food at every meal (we had breakfast, lunch and dinner on various days), with special appreciation for the chef menu options in February. Be mindful that the property has many levels and steps between them, even going down to the beach, so be prepared to have a light workout getting around.
