"With its thick jungle-like setting and array of elephant statues, gilded artwork, and steeply pitched rooflines, the intimate 40-room Sawasdee offers plenty of authentic Thai style." Full review
Frommer's "A 10-minute walk from Kata Beach (or short ride on the complimentary shuttle), you’ll pass a small portico of stone with some Khmer statuary; walk in and you’ll discover a little Eden" Full review

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."
