"The resort, a few minutes' walk from Kata beach, is sprawled out in a spacious garden. The service is impeccable and the restaurant is decent."

"With its thick jungle-like setting and array of elephant statues, gilded artwork, and steeply pitched rooflines, the intimate 40-room Sawasdee offers plenty of authentic Thai style."

"A 10-minute walk from Kata Beach (or short ride on the complimentary shuttle), you’ll pass a small portico of stone with some Khmer statuary; walk in and you’ll discover a little Eden"

"Birds’ nests, seedpods, thatched hobbit holes: Phuket resort Keemala’s pool villas are incredible architectural anomalies, and an intriguing mix of history and myth, loosely based on ancient tribe dwellings"

I got the feeling that no request was too much trouble for the him and his team – something which is quite rare (I know how much work goes into the F&B side of hotels).

"Interiors are glam and grown up – oversized four-poster beds, enormous bathtubs and private pools. And the spa, with its indoor/outdoor treatment rooms and lavish treatments, is a dream."
Frommer's
"This design-centric hotel is built into the lush, forested hills just up from Kamala Beach, and it is one of the most magical hotels in Thailand"
