I booked Sawasdee Village for a unique experience our last few days in Phuket. It felt like an oasis, with beautiful grounds and pools, comfortable room and friendly staff. They had decorated our room for my birthday and made sure there were no down pillows and comforter since we were allergic to feathers. The room was nicely decorated and appointed with plenty of counter and storage space, with separate closet/dressing room, sectioned off toilette and shower that walked out to the pool, patio with loungers. The bed was larger than most king sized mattresses and was very comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. The TV was also large and you can sign into most Apps to access shows and movies (Amazon, You Tube, etc.). There was a separate router for each room so that internet connection was never an issue. The mini fridge was large with a freezer section and they provided plenty of water (in recyclable glass) that was replenished daily. They provided 2 Starbucks coffee pods for coffee each day. The only downside was that the AC didn't get lower than a certain temperature, but was comfortable for most of the stay. ||There were plenty of amenities, including 2 large pools with bars providing drinks, including for happy hour 3-6pm. We didn't use the gym, but it looked nice with a good amount of machines and weights and never looked overcrowded. There was a pool and foos ball table. There was also a lounge area with tables, chairs and some coffee/tea and snacks if you wanted a place to read or do work or just rest. The buffet breakfast at the restaurant was ample; eggs to order (including scrambled with multiple ingredients), dim sum, congee, thai dish, fried rice, yogurt, cereal, baked goods, fruit, salad and the coffee machine that made lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, etc. They also have lunch and dinner at the restaurant. ||They provide a shuttle to the beach every hour from 9am - 6pm. Otherwise it's about a 10 minute walk to the beach but close to a lot of restaurants, massages and shops. ||Pros: amenities, comfortable bed and room, staff, breakfast|Cons; AC didn't get very cold, distance from main area to our room as the property is large and spread out, mosquitoes (they provide repellants)
