Had a lovely stay in the pool access room. The room was spacious and nicely decorated but is indeed showing signs of aging (i.e. chipped wood on cabinets or crack on tiles etc). Staff were mostly friendly and professional. Location is quite remote and removed from the other parts of phuket, which means more peace and privacy. FYI, grab is quite impossible to hail from the hotel, so don't rely on that. There is a small private beach though it isn't quite the best. Sand isn't soft and white and the water isn't that clear. But it is calm so is great for water activities, which is available free of charge. They had kayak and stand up paddling. Overall a great stay.
