DK Eyewitness "Located in a hidden cove between Hat Patong and Hat Karon, Le Meridien brings more than a touch of French panache to the party."
Star Service "Secreted away in a private cove on a lovely stretch of sand backed by forest-covered hills, this 120-acre, self-contained resort commands one of Phuket's most beautiful and well-protected sites." Full review

Like at many modern hotels, the baths open onto the main bedroom and living area adding the feeling of space and exterior views unless guests choose to close the shutters for privacy.
Rough Guide "This huge hotel complex has the tiny bay all to itself and boasts an amazing breadth of facilities, including ten restaurants and bars."
Fodor's "This sprawling resort has more bars, cafés, and restaurants than in many small towns." Full review
Lonely Planet "Close to the Patong chaos, yet secluded on its own private (and spectacular) beach, Le Meridien offers everything that the international globetrotter could ask for."

"Keemala is pure fantasy." Full review
Jetsetter "Whimsical, eco-friendly rainforest retreat dotted with waterfalls, within safe distance from Patong’s partiers." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Birds’ nests, seedpods, thatched hobbit holes: Phuket resort Keemala’s pool villas are incredible architectural anomalies, and an intriguing mix of history and myth, loosely based on ancient tribe dwellings" Full review

I got the feeling that no request was too much trouble for the him and his team – something which is quite rare (I know how much work goes into the F&B side of hotels).
Independent "Interiors are glam and grown up – oversized four-poster beds, enormous bathtubs and private pools. And the spa, with its indoor/outdoor treatment rooms and lavish treatments, is a dream."
Frommer's "This design-centric hotel is built into the lush, forested hills just up from Kamala Beach, and it is one of the most magical hotels in Thailand" Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Soothing, ecoconscious, fantasy-inspired beauty is one of Phuket's most original, sought-after and Instagram-loved resorts...stay in cocoon-like, clay-cottage private-pool villas; glammed-up tents." Full review
Independent "Keemala Resort is made up of fantasy bird’s nest villas, clay pool cottages and tree houses. The lavish tree-top rooms have a wooden structure and décor, four-poster beds and private pools."
Michelin Guide "All of Keemala’s villas and cottages come loaded with the necessities: Egyptian sheets, bathtubs, free wi-fi, minibars stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks, and private terraces " Full review
