Pros:
1. The hotel's private beach is excellent, with fine sand that's very soft underfoot.
2. There are sun loungers on the beach, not many, but there aren't many guests either. It's mostly Westerners and fewer Chinese. The foreigners are all very polite, and the Chinese guests I met were also very friendly and well-behaved. Unlike larger hotels that are crowded, this one is very quiet and private. Overall, a great experience.
3. The sea view is stunning, and the sunset is beautiful. You can watch the sunset from the restaurant, which is very romantic.
4. The rooms are clean, and the facilities are quite complete. The bedding is clean and comfortable on the skin. Although the hotel rooms aren't new, they are very well-maintained.
5. The shuttle service is responsive, and the staff are relatively enthusiastic.
6. There's not much around. There's a Brothers and a Top (shops/restaurants), which are basic but sufficient. There's a 7-Eleven about a hundred meters walk from the entrance. However, a 15-minute taxi ride takes you to Phuket Town, where you can find dining, small bars, and massages.
Cons:
1. We visited in August, when the waves were quite big, so I didn't dare to swim much. The beach isn't actually that big.
2. The rooms are generally quite simple. For a hotel costing over 2,000 THB in the low season and over 4,000 THB in the high season, the decor is far from luxurious.
3. There are stairs to climb. From the beach to the lobby, you have to climb stairs. Some of the sea-view bungalows are quite far from the lobby. As a heavier person, climbing stairs was difficult, and I had to call for the shuttle constantly every day. Fortunately, the service was good, and the shuttle was very responsive.
Summary: Quiet, private, beautiful scenery. Perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet, fulfilling every expectation of a resort hotel. I'd even call it a 'hotel of a lifetime'.

We visited Phuket during the rainy season, a total of 4 days, and it rained heavily every day, with only half a day of sunshine 🌞. The hotel itself is picturesque, and just relaxing here was a delight. Every room is a small suite villa, offering excellent privacy.
Despite being by the sea, the room wasn't damp at all. It came equipped with a beach bag, sun hats, slippers, and umbrellas, all available for use. We were especially grateful for the plastic flip-flops, which saved our leather slippers from getting soaked in the downpour.
The staff were very attentive. We received welcome snacks on the night of our arrival. The hotel's food was excellent; breakfast was lavish, enjoyed with a delightful sea view, and the Thai restaurant's dinner was very authentic.
The facilities were top-notch: a gym facing the ocean and a beautifully designed pool were both fantastic.
Aside from the continuous rainy weather, everything else was superb!
Currently, there are very few flights back to China. The direct flight to Shanghai only departs around midnight. However, there's no need to worry; you can continue to use the hotel facilities even after check-out, and they can even provide a room for you to take a shower.
We'll definitely be back!
