Travel Tips

Request a ground-floor room if you’re traveling with pets or young children for easy access to the pools and garden. Book the resort’s cooking class at least 24 hours in advance, as spots fill up quickly during peak season. The resort’s free airport shuttle needs to be arranged at least 48 hours before your arrival to guarantee a spot. If you plan to explore Phuket independently, the resort’s free parking makes it easy to rent a car or scooter, and the front desk can arrange reliable scooter rentals for around 200 baht per day. For evenings out, ask the concierge to book a table at one of the beachfront seafood restaurants within walking distance – many offer better prices for guests of the resort.
