I extended my stay here and paid a bit more to move into one of the new villas (but I was happy in the other villa too) - I wish I had discovered this place before as it is perfect for me and whenever I come to Phuket this will be my first point of enquiry. You may think you want to be closer to the beach but you will more likely end up in a big ugly complex, which is becoming the norm in Phuket unfortunately. I for one prefer the peace and beauty of the open garden, my own little villa and a quick scooter ride to the beach. But it is so nice and peaceful here I am in no constant rush to go to the beach They have done such a good job here and honestly I have stayed in '5 star' resorts that pale in comparison to the pool villa I am in now. Additionally, it is professionally run by lovely local people. I feel extremely lucky that I found Baan Rom Pruk.
