For my family and I, this was the best holiday ever. The resort is beautiful and right on the beach. All the staff were really nice and they were ready to help us whenever we needed something. There is a wide variety of things to do including stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. There is a kids club, a tennis court, indoor games area, spa and gym. There are plenty of swimming pools and two slides. We went swimming every day with a choice of swimming at the beach, main pool or the pool in our backyard. There are three restaurants at the resort and if you get tired of eating there, you can take a five minute walk down the beach to Coconut Seafood. All the restaurants sell delicious fresh drinking coconuts. At the buffet breakfast there was plenty of fresh delicious options for everyone. My children and I went on a tour around the island on a tuk-tuk while my husband and my older kids followed close behind on mountain bikes borrowed from the hotel. Access to mainland Phuket is an easy boat trip. We went to the Naka night markets in Phuket, which my kids loved. My boys were so disappointed when we had to leave and wished that we could stay for another two weeks. It was so fun and we hope to come back again.🥥 Read less
