A great option for a secluded relaxation. We have our own large villa, our own pool, sun beds on the veranda, you don't even have to go anywhere, but we came to the sea, so we went there first. The beach is very long, the coastline is not very wide, but it is quite sufficient. We didn't notice much difference in tide/ebb, perhaps because of the decent waves that were on all the days of our vacation. The yellow flag allowed swimming, but with caution. The territory of the hotel is very green, palm trees, plane trees, bananas, orchids, hibiscuses, generally for every taste. There is a pond with koi carp. Tupaya jumped on the branches, geckos crawled on the walls, flies hunted, frogs and cockroaches came. Beauty. There is no movement in the hotel, it is purely for relaxation. The contingent consists of more than half Germans, quite a few Russians, there are other Europeans like Czechs and Serbs. Age is probably 35+. There were only a few small children, and the paddling pool was empty. The food is excellent, the choice is sufficient, half board is much more profitable than just breakfast, as you will have to fork out a lot for dinner. Drinks are all paid for. The hotel provides a "credit" of 1000 baht per day for drinks or other spa-type expenses. Therefore, in fact, the drinks were free. All expenses are recorded on the number, and then this "loan" is deducted from the amount, in our case, for 6 nights, 6000 baht and the rest is paid at the checkout. There is a small shop with souvenirs and drinks on site. Nearby there is Tim's cafe, which sells ice cream, salads, sandwiches, etc. We had lunch there. The nearest store is a 15-minute walk away, but it has a mysterious work schedule, we went there three times and it was open only once. A minibus goes from the hotel to the "civilization", waits there for an hour and goes back. It's free. During this hour, you can buy food at the store, if necessary, and exchange money at the exchanger. According to the new rules, you will not be able to buy alcohol, you will have to go for it later. The hotel itself is an ensemble of wooden architecture, everything is made of hand-carved wood, very beautiful and authentic. We really enjoyed our vacation there, and if we have the opportunity, we will definitely come again.

The hotel is 20 minutes from Phuket Airport to the mainland. The place is deserted, with only expensive villas nearby. The sea is gorgeous. We swam alone. There are very few people. About the hotel... He impresses with his greatness. You get into a real museum. I can't imagine how many craftsmen have worked to create this unique beauty. The suitcases will be picked up at the exit of the transfer. They will then be delivered to the Villa. First you get to the reception. You will be decorated and offered cool tea. Check-in at 2 p.m. (I may be mistaken, maybe at 3 p.m.). I was at the hotel already at 10.30 and had to wait for check-in. But already at 12 o'clock, the staff took pity on me and escorted me to the room with the accompanying manager. You go down a steep staircase, pass through a huge hall with carved columns and enter a real jungle. Walk along a narrow path designed for electric cars. There are gates along the entire path to enter the villas. There are palm trees and many other strange plants all around. Birds are singing, and sometimes lizards are running. Nature! The feeling of a fairy tale. We reached a pond with many beautiful big fish swimming in it. I saw them being fed once. It's an interesting sight. The fish flock together and try to grab the peas they are being fed. Cool. There are 2 turtles living next to the pond. We turned right. They stomped to their cabin. First, the carved wooden gate opens. Next to it is a wooden sign that needs to be rotated to a certain position so that, for example, you can be cleaned or not disturbed. Then you enter the courtyard with a swimming pool. We had a Villa room with a garden. Well, the garden is certainly conditional. There are green plants in a small area at the entrance. The villa is located on the 1st floor. This is more convenient for us, because the Villa De Lux was on the 2nd floor and we would have to stomp up the stairs. But maybe there's a more beautiful view. We didn't go up to the top, I don't know. There is a large sofa bed and 2 deck chairs in the courtyard. The pool is approximately 5m long and 2.5 m wide. It's comfortable to swim together. The pool is not heated, but the water is quite comfortable. Fresh. There is a cabinet on the left wall in which you can turn on pressurized water jets and do a water massage. I am writing in detail because I myself am looking for the necessary details when exploring hotels, so that it is easier to navigate and not ask anyone. At the entrance to the courtyard on the right (and some on the left), there is a box on the wall in which the lights turn on near the pool and in the courtyard. But we couldn't turn it on right away, because it turns out that until you stick the key inside the room, the lighting will not turn on either from the outside or from the inside. So finally you get inside the house. The first shock of beauty. Firstly, the area is quite large. Secondly, all the walls are decorated with wooden carvings. Thirdly, after the heat, you finally feel the happiness of the coolness and comfort you find yourself in! That's it! The rest begins!!! Inside the room, everything is as shown in the picture from the website. A huge four-poster bed. Instead of a wall facing the courtyard, there are massive glass doors. Lots of light. There is a window behind the bed, which we covered with curtains, because it looks out onto the street. During the day, tulle protects from prying eyes, and everything is visible when the evening light is on. At the entrance, there is a sofa with a coffee table on the left, and a kitchen with a dining table on the right. The kitchen has a sink, dishes, a refrigerator with a minibar. There is strong alcohol on the shelf. There's a sponge and dish detergent on the sink. There was a folded checkered cloth on the shelf. On the first day, it was not clear what she was needed for... It turned out that instead of a beach towel, it can be laid on deck chairs in the courtyard in front of the pool. There is an area with 2 dressing tables and mirrors. There is low lighting in the dressing table area. There are sockets and where the bed is right in the side walls of the bedside table and where there is an area with mirrors. The sockets are ordinary. Adapters are not needed. 2 air conditioners. Moreover, there is only one remote control for both devices. Which is very convenient. If you are in the kitchen, you turn on the air conditioner in the bedroom area. If you are in the bedroom, turn it on in the kitchen area. At night, we turned on the light in the kitchen and it was enough for a comfortable sleep and not to get sick. There is a TV on the wall in the kitchen area. We found 1 Russian channel. There is a YouTube channel. Look at your health. There is a large closet with a safe. Since it was dark in this area, I had to use my phone to highlight the numbers on the safe. Bathroom with carved lamps. It's a little dark there too. The shower room is huge. But be careful... Nature was nearby, and in the bathroom I found some hard caterpillars, then a lizard took them away, and once a scorpion attacked me because I didn't notice it and pinched its claw with the door. But it was small, and I just threw it out with a napkin. By the way, gels and shampoos with conditioner are very high-quality and pleasant. The necessary little things - soap, brushes, etc. are there. The towels are snow-white. There are branded bathrobes and slippers in the closet. Now about the pool... There is also a bathtub in the recreation area. This is a completely private area. You can swim naked and no one will see you except about flying birds. There's a buzz to it... the consciousness of privacy and comfort. Once, lying on a chaise longue and relaxing from the heat of the day, I saw some kind of animal jumping along the fence. At first I thought it was a squirrel, but the muzzle is elongated like a rat's. It turned out to be an animal called a tupaya. Funny. We were at the hotel for New Year's Eve. At that time, there were mosquitoes on the street and sometimes in the house. Small, but harmful. There are special mosquito repellents that plug into the wall outlet. The advantage of this hotel is that you can never leave the villa at all. As you can order food in the room, swim in the pool, sunbathe on the sun loungers. But this is for an amateur. Of course we swam in the sea. Food... Get ready for the fact that one writing session will cost you from 4 to 10 thousand rubles. We had 3 courses for two. They were quite full. Not in order to save money, but the portions are decent and if you take 1 person, then the food remains. But of course it all depends on your preferences. We mostly ordered Thai cuisine. They cook well, but they've tried better. Only pizza, pasta and fruits for children. Mango and rice were always served. Delicious dessert. The room service ordering system will be shown to you. There's a paper in a blister on the table next to the mirror and there's a quarter code. You point at the code and a menu pops up. There you will need to enter the room number and order the dishes. All menus are in English. Ask the staff to show you and order, for example, freshly squeezed juice or coffee from your phone upon arrival. Then it will be easier for you to do it later. You don't have to pay. All this will be included in the bill for you and at the end of the rest you will have it printed out and you will pay for it. But I advise you to ask for a printout of your expenses in the middle of your vacation in order to understand how much you have already spent, so that later it does not turn out that you have nothing with which to pay the bill. Breakfast can also be ordered in the room. But we went to a restaurant every morning. The breakfasts are normal, everything you need, including fruits, is there. But if you order in the room, the menu will be more limited in terms of dishes than if you personally visited the restaurant. The same system applies to lunch and dinner. In the menu from the phone at the top, pay attention to the time of ordering dishes. It's written there from which time to which time you can order the menu. For example, if you order dinner in the evening, the lunch menu will not open. Once, at dinner at a beach restaurant (he's the only one), we even ate sushi, and it was very tasty. To get to breakfast, you need to break out to the building where the reception is located, but do not climb up the high steps, but go around this building to the right and you will get to the carriageway. The security guard will block the traffic and you will calmly go into the restaurant. It is located at the top of the beach area. There is also a huge swimming pool with warm water. If you go down to the left or right of the pool, you will get to the beach with sun loungers and balloons. There are always available seats. Beach towels are taken in a house in the middle of the beach. Towels are the same checkered rags. It is necessary to write down your number and number of pieces in the log and also return them, writing down the same thing. We went back not through the stairs, but through the passage on the left, where there is a work passage. I didn't want to go up the stairs because of the heat. On the beach, you can order food directly on the sun beds or go to the beach restaurant, where lunch and dinner are served. Sometimes there are performances or themed barbecue nights in the evening. There is a general chat room at the hotel. You can ask any question in Russian and they will answer you. Ask to be joined in the chat. It's convenient. Once there was a flood near our villa... water flowed out of the hatch. We wrote to the chat. The situation was quickly rectified. It takes about 1 hour to get to Phuket town. Taxis are expensive. From 1,500 to 2,500 baht, depending on the type of taxi and the time of the trip. Well, I think I've described everything... Have a good rest!!!

There is no service. It's unclear what's going on in the hotel. Fruits with mold, yesterday's fruits are served sour with mold and cherished. We booked a villa. It turned out that we have 2 rooms from above, and from the rooms there is noise, stomping, you can even hear a person coughing and going to the toilet. Our toilet wasn't working, they brought us a plunger so we could clean it ourselves. The manager ignores and does not respond. Not a single issue is being resolved at the reception. They don't give a manager a number with whom you can solve at least some kind of issue. The sun beds are dirty, there are a lot of ants because the cleaning is bad. There are few friendly staff😣 the security is friendly, takes you to the parkinglot❤

Great hotel. National flavor combined with comfort. Complete privacy in a bungalow with its own pool. Dinners on the beach, creaking sand, a multi-kilometer coastline, crabs. A week has passed, we still remember. There is only one negative. There is no location around, you eat at the hotel. The menu is extensive, but the cooking is lame. The food is of high quality, but not bright, mediocre. And so, wow!

A chic hotel. Everything is on the level. Suitable for those who want privacy and tranquility. If you want to come hang out - you're past! This hotel is about how to spend your vacation harmoniously. At your disposal are really chic ethno villas, a semi-deserted beach, excellent territory, good service. Nuances that may be important to someone are useful: 1) through the beach, swimming pool, restaurant on the first line. Across the street are the villas themselves. There is no traffic on the road Hotel security stops him if necessary. 2) the restaurant menu will seem a little small to some. But all dishes are prepared according to the standard. And some are just great.

This is a great hotel! Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. We had a garden view villa. We are very glad that we chose this particular place. The staff is incredibly polite and everyone tries to help you if anything happens.

A beautiful hotel surrounded by greenery. Incredible wooden villas with a large terrace, swimming pool and everything you need. The scale of the work with wood for the construction of the hotel is amazing. The beach is deserted, you can spend your time quite comfortably. The area is deserted, there's not even really anywhere to eat. The hotel restaurant is quite mediocre, so if you stay for a long time, I recommend looking for backup options for dinners. The massages are not bad, but there is no corresponding atmosphere in the SPA room at all, and the price tag is x2 from ordinary massages.

Very few people, a gorgeous beach, a great hotel. The disadvantage may be the absence of anything within walking distance (shops, restaurants), only the hotel
