DK Eyewitness "Located in a hidden cove between Hat Patong and Hat Karon, Le Meridien brings more than a touch of French panache to the party."
Star Service "Secreted away in a private cove on a lovely stretch of sand backed by forest-covered hills, this 120-acre, self-contained resort commands one of Phuket's most beautiful and well-protected sites." Full review

Like at many modern hotels, the baths open onto the main bedroom and living area adding the feeling of space and exterior views unless guests choose to close the shutters for privacy.
Rough Guide "This huge hotel complex has the tiny bay all to itself and boasts an amazing breadth of facilities, including ten restaurants and bars."
Fodor's "This sprawling resort has more bars, cafés, and restaurants than in many small towns." Full review
Lonely Planet "Close to the Patong chaos, yet secluded on its own private (and spectacular) beach, Le Meridien offers everything that the international globetrotter could ask for."

"Andara Resort and Villas is one of the most expensive five-pearl options in Phuket, but with the high price tag comes over-the-top extras like private chefs and access to a customized yacht." Full review

Well-heeled guests choose from luxury villas or suites; most of them have gorgeous private pools and sweeping views of the Andaman Sea. It would be easy to spend an entire vacation holed up in the villas, which get stocked with guests' favorite foods, and a private chef comes to prepare customized meals.
Condé Nast Traveler "The 26 luxury villas and 37 antique-filled suites are bedecked in warm, polished wood, plenty of cushions, and beds that are arguably Phuket’s plushest." Full review
Michelin Guide 1 Star
