Excellent stay at the border of Naithon beach (NW Phuket). We went in May 2024, so low season, between the hot and the rainy season (with a bit of both). The beach itself is so-so (yellow sand, no shades, no seats or umbrellas, some washed-up plastics (like everywhere), some dead jellyfish. But it is quiet (max 40 people on the beach), with nice waves. The short of it is that we did not spend much time on the beach, but all the more in the hotel. And the hotel was fantastic. Huge room (grand ocean view), extensive and delicious breakfast, good food in the restaurants, friendly and helpful staff etc etc. It is a bit expensive, but you get the quality in return.
A few practical things:
- the hotel is largely built as separate "houses" with several rooms on a hill. This means you need to walk up and down. There are also free and frequent "buggies" to take you between your room and elsewhere in the property.
- The pictures show rooms with open view over the sea. That may be the case in some rooms, but where we were, there was a large tree in front of the window. We could still see the beach and the sea, but not in frontal view. But the tree was so beautiful we did not mind.
- The room even had nespresso (with free capsules)
- Beautiful swimming pool, which was extremely clean.
In short: if you book here, you will not regret!
