Trisara
Phuket Thailand
The Trisara Resort in Phuket is extraordinary in
many ways, from the fact that it is such a short
drive from the airport, and yet so quiet, peaceful,
private, and beautiful. The ocean view villa we
stayed in was exceptionally spacious and private
with incredible uninterrupted views over the ocean.
It's the kind of place that makes you dream that
this is your own private villa. The actual accommodation
has so many nice touches it would be impossible
to include them all, sufficient to say, that everything
you would expect from a five star deluxe resort
is there in abundance, and much more besides. We
could start with the indoor and outdoor showers,
the furnishings are a beautiful blend of colours,
with lots of dark wood. The bed was large, and very
comfortable, with such fantastic fluffy pillows.
I always think pillows are the real measure of the
quality. It is the little touches like fresh flowers
everywhere, even in the bathroom. The built in window
seats and couches, the cleverly hidden large plasma
TV, all part of the top quality workmanship that

the construction and maintenance. Outside the villa,
it is completely private, with a gate at the entrance,
and a large teak sundeck with table and chairs for
eating, and four padded teak sunbeds. The infinity
pool, is larger than your normal plunge pool, and
totally private because of the greenery. The food
quite superb, both Thai and Western style. We were
on a breakfast included package, and it was a terrific
meal in itself, having got used to buffet breakfasts
being the norm, it was a pleasant surprise to have
it served up fresh from the kitchen. Be warned however
that if you decide to take your included breakfast
in your suite, then you would be charged at full
rate, which seems a little mean. At lunch and dinner,
you can choose either the Thai or Western option,
although it would be fair to say the Thai food was
spicy hot and very authentic, not milder for those
of us from the West. I personally like that. You
can get most of the food available with room service
but it is more expensive, and wine as expected is
expensive, because they kind of have a captive audience
as there are no nearby restaurants The overall service,
and once again attention to detail are fantastic.
Small final thoughts are, you will never forget
the sunset from the pool villa, and the beach is
delightfully private with no hawkers, and very comfortable
loungers, and naturally the high level of service
continues there. There is not a whole lot to do
here except to relax, and unwind, so if that is
your thing, there is nowhere better to be. |
