We kept hearing that Phuket was busy and not interesting, that we should skip it while in Thailand... Well we are glad we didn't!!! This place is a hidden gem. We had a rental car so we didn't mind the fact that it was in a secluded area. Spending time at the pool while staring at the Big Buddha is priceless. The room was HUGE, clean and seemed brand new. The food was delicious. Definately recommend!!!
