Who it suits, who it does not
- Suits: couples, honeymooners, travellers who want originality and forest rather than a beachfront hotel.
- Does not suit: tight budgets, travellers with reduced mobility (the hotel is built on a slope: ask for an accessible villa), anyone who wants to walk to the beach or restaurants. For somewhere closer to the sand, see Phuket's 5-star hotels.
Around the hotel
Kamala beach and the Kamala area are downhill. For an activity, a Coral Island snorkelling and sunset catamaran cruise is best booked ahead; the sea depends on the season, see Phuket weather and disruptions. To compare with other romantic options, see adults-only resorts and private pool villas.
