My wife suddenly got sick and I canceled the tour an hour before departure, but they called and asked if I wanted to go tomorrow. Unfortunately, it was the last day so we couldn't join them, but I appreciate their kind service. I'll definitely use it next time.

No words could describe how great the hotel is. The room, facilities, restaurants are really great and one thing that stand out the most about this hotel is the customer service of all the employees, take note all of them especially Joe, Tony, Kook, Rose and Abner. They are really great. People are kind and best customer service ever. Kudos to the team. I would definitely come back here if we come back in Phuket. Thank you very much for your service!!
