Outstanding in every aspect. Facilities, rooms, and service were perfect. The island is beautiful. The resort itself is bursting with biodiversity. The staff are outstanding. We had an amazing holiday, a real 'trip of a lifetime'. If money was no object, I would be back in a heartbeat.||We went in a party of six with our young adult children and their companions. The king rooms in the garden villas were spacious with a day bed and table as well. The twin bed garden villa had loads of space between the twin beds with good floor space around, perfect for friends staying together. The dressing room area in all the garden villas was an unexpected bonus. We had asked for our chalets to be beside each other. This worked well, giving us privacy and space while being nearby and convivial.||One of our party is a vegetarian who needs to follow a gluten-free diet and the staff were very helpful; she was given options at every meal and was able to relax knowing she could enjoy her food with confidence.||We went snorkeling on a trip organised by the resort and that felt safe, being in areas which were roped off so boats didn't enter. You still needed to pay some attention to safety getting on and off the boats. As we were leaving to return to the resort, the area was getting busier with boats from Phuket coming over for the day. We were glad we had started early (about 10 a.m.) for a quieter experience. We did see some boats with people in more open water and even off the hotel, with the sea being so shallow at times, we saw people in the water with boats moving around them, which seemed less safe. We were glad we took the precautions we did to make sure we were not in areas with moving boats.||The snorkeling was amazing. Utterly beautiful. An amazing glimpse into a remarkable world.||The Thai cooking course the resort organised was fun, informative, and very tasty. We arrived to find chefs' hats, aprons, and small cookery books for each of us, and a table set for us to eat a small banquet which we cooked for ourselves in a lovely room (with air con) under the watchful tutelage of two very experienced chefs. There was something for everyone, no small deal with three vegetarians (one gluten-free), two meat-eaters (one which didn't like fish). It was a terrific experience, well worth trying.||The resort is in a beautiful natural bay which does not have an artificial jetty so we did have to transfer from the small ferry to an even smaller boat, then wade through shallow water to reach reception when we arrived. This would not be possible for someone with reduced mobility or, in my view, with small babies. I have some problems with my knees but have good mobility and I found the transfers a little challenging, although the staff were very helpful and helped me keep my balance as I boarded and disembarked.||The transfers from Phuket airport and back again we organised through the resort and it was very well organised and easy - absolutely worth doing.||The people who work on the resort live in accommodation in the nearby village. They work incredibly hard and with a high degree of professionalism. We felt welcomed and looked after by every one of them, from the gardeners, to the heads of departments. It was a remarkable privilege to stay at Saii Phi Phi, and we are grateful to each and every person who made our holiday such a happy and memorable experience.
