Wonderful hotel! Family vacation in July. We chose this hotel based on reviews, I liked that there is a calm and beautiful sea and a nice beach without crowds. With regards to the hotel, it is located on a mountainside, so get ready to walk up and down, unless of course you are settled in a distant building, I advise the second building, we had a very good view of the sea from the room. In terms of food, standard breakfasts are a little monotonous, the hotel has a good restaurant on the seashore, I advise you to try pineapple with seafood delicious and beautiful there. For prices, if you ride a free shuttle to Patong Beach and go to a cafe and buy food there, then you can halve the budget for food. Also in Patong, a very developed nightlife by taxi in the evening is possible for 300 baht to the center, but sometimes they ask 350 baht back. I will tell you about the pros and cons of this hotel:
1) pluses: a pleasant location in relation to the sea, a beautiful beach with a good calm sea, there is animation and there are parties with a fire show, several pools
2) cons: again, the location on the mountain and away from life, low tides, a construction site nearby, but it doesn’t interfere much, there are no shops and restaurants near the hotel

For excursions:
We went to the islands for two days from the operator Anex bought from a hotel guide. We visited the James Bond Islands, rode a sea canoe through the caves, visited the village of sea gypsies, drove to the Krabi mainland, Raleigh Beach and Fertility Cave, snorkeled on the island near the coral reef. In the evening we arrived for an overnight stay in the Phi Phi archipelago, saw a fire show, took part in Thai boxing and danced well at a beach party. On the second day, we went to May Bay, the filming location of the film with Leonardo DiCaprio, visited the Viking cave and monkey beach there, the last island was the Bounty paradise, with the exception of Chinese groups of tourists, there were a lot of them, but still I advise the tour super! On the tour, we met tourists from our hotel, and we spent all the time together, everything was fine, the only one not pleasant moment was when we found out that the tourists who were with us all the time bought this tour almost twice as cheap from a local Russian-Thai company. We also went on the second excursion to the Khao Lak National Park together. On the tour, we went to a cave with a recumbent golden buddha, fed wild monkeys, rode through the jungle on elephants, watched a baby elephant show, and then dined at a restaurant on the river bank along which we rafted on bamboo rafts. Special thanks to our Russian guide Artem, who told and showed us everything, we also remember the zoo and the rehabilitation center for sea turtles in Khao Lak. I liked everything very much and left very good impressions. We really enjoyed our vacation this year on the island of Phuket and we were lucky with the weather, there were many sunny days, and we also liked the hotel, we will come back here. I wish you all a good holiday!
