Rosewood Phuket

Great place for top end food, spa, service, kids club and pool. One of the best breakfast offerings & Italian dinner some of the best meals you will have. All the poolside staff great and very tentative to what are some great pools. Spa world class & the kids club one of the worlds best

Rosewood is a very nice hotel and require buggy service when travelling up to lobby area. If you are housed in the lower or mid levels, you can walk to the restaurants, fitness, pool & beach. Otherwise you'll need the buggy service. Housekeeping esp room cleaning in the morning is slow. We were there in November which is not peak. I wonder how they will cope during peak season! For a top hotel, I was disappointed that they only have a box of tissues in the bathroom and none elsewhere eg next to their fruit plate in the living area. Our box ran out soon after housekeeping had 'cleaned' the room - ie they did not check how much was left in the box! Also, they should have an extra set of clean towels in the room (even if the used ones are still hanging in the bathroom). As a top hotel, you should anticipate the "what-ifs". Swimming pool - there's a "lap" pool of 20x4m and another with jacuzzi jets that's slightly smaller (possibly 15x3m) and a 3rd one that's about 18x3m. Having them segregated gives small groups a sense of privacy, but imagine 30 ~50 guests wanting to be in the pool - will feel cramped. I suppose they are expecting many will swim in the sea instead. But the beach is not particularly good, it's just ok.

This hotel is one of the absolute nicest and best I have stayed at in the world. This is my first review of any property. This one is worth the effort.
