Remarkable vacation ”

Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas is really impressive. We were do enjoyable and had a pleasant vacation. Let's say, you do not need to cross the ocean for that 5 stars plus service, since Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas offers it all.

Total happiness”

Very helpful, smart and polite staffs. Super clean, super relaxing, great privacy, spacious space. The spa (signature massage) was way above our expectations. We had one of the best vacations here at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas. Thanks for hosting us.

Beyond expectation”

Our stay was exactly what we hoped it would be. My friends and i were looking for a quiet place to do activities away from the crowd and anantara was perfect. The villa was clean, private pool was beautiful and the food was great. We did the 22 km bicycle tour, tennis, gym and swim in both ocean and pool. This hotel is good for both families and couples. The villas were nice a private so even if the hotel was fully bookes you won't feel crowded. The food was good and clean at all their outlets. What really surprised us was the level of service. I want to tip my hat to the gm and the staff. They were not just friendly but genuinely helpful. On my last day i twisted my ankle quite badly and the speed with which the staff coordinated to bring the doctor, ice and crutches was impeccable. I would recommend the hotel to everyone except people who are looking for excitement. The hotel is in a quiet area of phuket, so if you want vast quiet beach, good food, exercise, and a break from your hectic life, then this place is it.

Quiet Luxury”

The Anantara was just incredible. The grounds were spectacular, the villa was perfect, and the staff could not have been more helpful. On my birthday they even brought me a birthday cake. The breakfast buffet had every food item imaginable and everything was fresh. We did eat at the Fire and Ice which was just so so and not really worth the money but the food by the pool area and the buffet were excellent. The best part of the Anantara was that it was nice and quiet and it was a great place to relax after our 30 hour travel to get to Thailand. We did enjoy the restaurant by the beach and the beach massages that were not part of Anantara but offered a little local feel. The room had everything you could want - even a sketch pad for drawing. The pillows were so nice I took a photo of the label to see if I could locate them and purchase them for home. They even had a happy hour with free drinks, appetizers and neck massages. LOVED IT!!!!!

Excellent vacation”

The resort is 40 min from the airport, luckily such neighborhood is not disturbing or annoying - it is just an another entertainment as you can keep watch over planes arriving and departing from the beach. The entrance to the resort was manned by a guard and there was a very nice stone-walled doorway. Very impressive and it makes the whole resort feel very exclusive. Overall the welcome was superb and our Pool Villa shifted our expectations. The whole villa looked great. There was some signs of wear and tear but the whole area looks clean. We really liked the pool. It was large for a private ‘plunge’ pool. The ‘bath-tub’ is actually outdoor right beside the pool. The bed is huge and nicely decorated every evening. The resort has bicycles (first come first serve) where we can hope on and cycle around. The resort is small enough that everyone can walk but having a bicycle is faster. We did not use of the buggy service, but there is one. The resort is in a cluster consisting of two other resorts. Marriott Vacation Club and Anantara Vacation Club. There is also a ‘mall’ called Turtle Village. All properties within easy walking distance. We had all our dinners (except my Birthday party) at the Turtle Village. Very convenient and tasty and they prepare really large portions! There was one thing to take note though, there are some staff trying to sell the Anantara Vacation Club packages. We attend a 90 minute presentation and as remuneration for this got vouchers for Phi-Phi island tour. Amazing journey, worth seeing! We enjoyed ourselves so much that it was really sad to leave. The only minor recommendation - it would be great if the hotel arranges more convenient descent to the sea from the main pool. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back there once again. Stayed October 2013

An Impressive Stay”

My stay at this hotel, Private Pool Villa was truly enjoyable. The hotel was extremely comfortable and cooling. Staying there was not only a fun time, but an experience of comfort and luxury. Over my stay at the hotel, the hotel was kept as clean as it was when I entered, hence giving me a good impression of the Anantara House Keeping team. I strongly believe that the commendable staff at this hotel pushed themselves to their limits and tried their best to make every night of my stay enjoyable. They were willing to comply to my family and I's needs with no complaint and a smile on their face, for example, ferrying us from place to place in a buggy. However, the location of this hotel was quite remote and the food was though fresh, ordinary and not unique to Phuket. One thing I must say is that the buggy was original and convenient. Maintain the good service and hotel quality, make some minor adjustments and I fell that the Anantara would be as popular as it ever was.

Perfect end to our Thailand holiday”

We were impressed with the Anantara Phuket Villas. Everything was clearly explained to us by X and other staff about facilities and resort amenities. We enjoyed having access to bicycles to get around. We loved having so many relaxing options in our villa; even when it rained we could enjoy the outdoors in the covered, cushioned area by the pool and at our sala. The pool was a refreshing temperature and great having the built in seat, a deeper and shallow end easy to enter via steps. We took advantage of Happy Hour by the pool and in the Tree House, where we were particularly well looked after by the charming staff.

Peace and tranquility. Beauty and luxury.”

As soon as we arrived we were made to feel special with a drink and a cold scented soothing flannel whilst we checked in. The resort was beautiful and relaxing. Our personal pool was just right. Our pool area had a couple of loungers and umbrella with an additional gazebo area with a large cushioned lounging area and a fridge full of bar drink and snacks etc. the beach restaurant 'Sea. Fire. Salt' served delicious meals and again we were treated like valued guests. The resort pool and beach area was very well designed and again the staff saw to it that we had complementary water fruit and cold flannels next to our very comfortable poolside loungers. Our rooms were serviced twice a day to an exacting standard. On the whole it was an amazing experience. Booking excursions/ taxis etc from the hotel was very easy. It's about a 30 minute taxi ride into the centre of Phuket which wasn't a problem for us as we wanted to be away from the hussle and bussle... The 'Central' shopping centre had a great choice of different shops and was about 40 minutes away. Turtle Village shops were a couple of minutes walk away and has a few nice shops and lower priced eateries to choose from including an Irish style pub, a coffee shop and an ice cream parlour, which made a change. The Taxi from the airport, going through the Anantara airport desk to the resort was very expensive tho... We paid 3 times more than we should have on the way to the hotel, compared with making a booking with a taxi driver directly on the way back. Apart from that one thing the overall experience was brilliant.

Wonderful hotel with exceptional service”

this is a beautiful resort, well worth the price if you want to relax with your beloved. the pool villas have exceptional privacy and are well planned/laid out. you can enter the pool from anywhere in the villa, through sliding doors. the outdoor and indoor space becomes one. the food at the restaurant was very good, particularly the tapas. we did not try the signature restaurant as the menu appeared to be limited and the reviews on this site were not very good. the food in casual restaurant was also consistently good. we are regularly stay in luxurious resorts and we were very surprised to see that anantara exceeded our expectations.

Best two days ”

We came to Phuket for a short two-night stay at the Anantara Mai khao villa and it was simply the best two days. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food served by the resort's restaurants was so delicious, and the entire resort was very well maintained and beautiful with an exclusive feel to it. Our villa was spacious, tastefully designed, and very private. We went for a Thai massage at the spa as well and would definitely recommend it. We felt so pampered during our stay here and would not hesitate to come back again!

Best location for our honeymoon. No regrets!”

Hands down, one of the best villas I've stayed at! I enjoy being away from the busier beaches. Mai Khao is quiet. I like that if we walk down a little further, we see more people from the nearby Marriot. So we had the best of both worlds. The pool is fantastic, the team is very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our breakfast and dinner at the main restaurant, the treetop bar, and the pool bar! We also had a treat with a film screening of Skyfall. What I enjoyed most is the halal seaside food stalls right next to the villa. They provide delicious and affordable meals. I want to go back!!!

Baby Moon ”

We were overwhelmed by the great hospitality which offered by the hotel staff. Me and my husband reach Anantara before the check in time and we were well greeted by Lee and were offered a string of Jasmine flower, some refreshing towel and juice. Lee and his lovely colleague bring us on a hotel and room tour on their buggy and explained further the room's facilities and the bed was decorated with nice flowers and towel art. Not forgetting a big credit to the Sea.Fire.Salt restaurant's helpful staff (lady wearing specs with a big smile). We were well served and the staff did a great job on explaining/ recommending on the meal and wine choices. Overall, me and my husband had an enjoyable holiday in Anantara. Will definitely re-visit Anantara with my new family member (baby). Cheers. :)

Loved Anantara!”

Anantara was my favorite resort in Phuket of the three we have tried. Outstanding experience, truly first-rate in every way. Bike riding around the property is a charming touch. Breakfast (which you should buy) included mouth-watering Thai and Western cuisine. No complaints, but we didn't fully understand how far you are from Phuket proper. You need to plan on an hour each way to do things in Phuket, which is somewhat limiting.

A Paradise !”

We were looking for a private villa with the service of a 5 star hotel and we found it at the Anantara Phuket hotel. The villas opening to a private pool are beautiful and everything is made for the guests to have a splendid time, away from everything. We plan to go back there to relive the paradise feel...

Tranquil and surreal”

We loved our stay at the Anantara Phuket Villas, the staff were so nice and bent over backwards to help us. I will definitely highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Phuket!

It was pretty good”

I went this resort with my wife and kid. If you want to take a rest for your vacation only in this resort, Anantara will be one of the best choice. But if you want to go around Phuket, Anantara is not the best choice in terms of location. It took more than 40 mins at least to get to down town or somewhere. Anyway the condition of poolvilla is pretty good, and the staffs are so kind. Strongly recomment for the family!

Super Relaxing Villa with private pool”

I had a great moment at Anantara Phuket Villas. I have nothing to say about the hotel but great. Highly recommend hotel if you are in Phuket.

Beautiful Villa”

Anantara Phuket Villa is a beautiful place, thoughtfully planned out to cater to guests of different age. Although a little on the pricey side, but the service and accommodation is very up to standards for the price you pay. Great for a getaway with loved ones to unwind. Staff are very accommodating and makes the stay a very pleasant one.

A 9.9/10 experience ”

I purchased this stay for my in-laws at Anantara. They were very pleased with the Sala restaurant, the Tree House Bar, the Infinity Bar, and Sea. Fire. Salt. the seafood restaurant, save for the rock lobster thermidor at the last restaurant due to excessive salt used. My mother-in-law was also impressed by the Anantara Spa, although she was slightly disturbed by the noise from the Marriott pool nextdoors. An amazing experience for us all.

Charming Resort”

Nice villa, great service staff. Thanks for the free sunset cocktail invitation. Enjoyed chatting with some of the mid management. Nice breakfast selection, love the Dream of phuket eggs, lots of tropical fruits to eat. However, upon check in we were told by our host that fruit basket was going to be replenished every day but did not happen. We called room service to request on the 3rd day and was given 3 pieces of fruit (non tropical). Food at seaSaltFire just ok, nothing special. Massage is overpriced. Overall, still a relaxing holiday.
