+: Location on "Serenity Bay" Cape Panwa is down the bottom on the East side of the island. It's about 1 hour from the airport and also to Patong beach. The location and aspect of the hotel to the beach & bay is probably the best we've experienced in Phuket in our 15 years of holidaying here from a Disconnect and just breath point of view. It is a semi remote feeling and location. We had a Terrace Room so sitting out each day enjoying the morning coffee watching the sunrise and the bay with boats and islands was superb. The bufett for breakfast was lovely and had a good selection. Cereals, Eggs, Pastries, Soups, Fried Rice, Chicken dish, Cold Cuts, Salads, Breads, Juices, Real Coffee etc.Twice a day in the morning and night, you can hear the call to prayer from the local mosque waft across the landscape. It's not intrusive and you wouldn't hear it in the room if you weren't sitting out on the balcony.The dinner menu on the Half Board offering was varied enough and gave us good choice but you would be bored with it if staying more than 5 days. The value of the Half Board offering was really good.The restaurant staff and food in MOSAIC near the pool were exceptional. Nut was a stand out memorable person who made the effort to remember our names and greeted us personally. Well done Nut!The Lobby Bar was a nice place to sit for a few happy hour drinks. Joy was a friendly.The Beach Bar was a good place for a lunch and a cold beer. Peekie gave good service there with the rest of her team.Shuttle to shopping: There's a free shuttle to Phuket Central shopping 3 days a week leaving hotel at 11am and returning 330-4pm departure back to hotel. This was a nice touch and saved us $15 taxi fares each way to do it.Taxi Stand out front of hotel was great. Going rate in May 2024 for a driver for a day is THB 1,500 so great value if you want to have the convenience of a car when you go shopping etc.

-: The hotel did offer a cheaper price that we enjoyed as they are going through a "soft launch". With that in mind I can overlook the issues we didn't like below and WE WILL RETURN to this hotel in the future because of its chilled out location and the majority of staff who were lovely. Airconditioner in room 2317 is not able to be fully controlled by the room controller, so it always defaulted back to 20-21 degrees. This was too cold for us. We did ask reception to fix it but they said they were not able to. From what I could understand the controller for the temp default is set at the unit, not by the in room zone controller. (Lucky the bed was extremely super comfy and warm). Clothes Storage:- In the terrace view room there is simply not enough drawshelf space to set out your clothes. Its the worst I've experienced in a hotel anywhere on the planet. The size for hanging was xtra large with a good amount of coat hangers. Location: Catch 22. We wanted a destress, get away from the hustle of Patong stay and we got that. The reality of that is, that you can't just walk out the hotel doors and find a bar or restaurant on the street there simply wasn't anything there except a 7-11. So you would have to get a taxi anywhere. This is not what we are used to, so its something we didn't like but understand its also part of the serenity of the location. Can't have it all :-). Bell Boy on Driveway are always on their phones due to the low occupancy numbers during this soft launch so they didn't greet us when we walked past them, which in Thailand is rare and noticeable.

+: Es precioso, la habitación era gigante y tenía vistas a la playa (pagamos extra) pero vale la pena. Es un sitio muy elegante, muy tranquilo y por suerte cuando nosostros fuimos no había casi nadie y tenías las piscinas y la playa para nosotros. El personal es un encanto y muy buenas personas. Mi pareja se dejó el teléfono en la habitación al irnos del hotel y enseguida nos avisaron que la chicao que limpiaba lo había encontrado. Esto en España es imposible que ocurra, normalmente nunca avisan. Volvería sin dudar
