Wir haben unsere Hotelreservierung im Pullmann storniert und dann dieses Hotel gebucht wegen diesem Video. Ich bin froh, dass wir dir vertraut haben denn das Intercontinental Hotel ist großartig. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen! Danke Flip Flop traveler ☺️
Stayed in this hotel in december. I have to say my girlfriend and I loved everything about it. Would really recommend staying here. Facilities, service and food is excellent.
Hi Kevin- my family and I stayed here for five nights last month. Your video definitely gave me an accurate briefing of the resort. I liked my stay slightly more than you…maybe it’s because of the villa we stayed in, which was quite an experience. I agree, the staff was fantastic. I think I would have given it a few more points (93-94) than your score. The restaurants and spa were among the best I experienced in Asia. Two quibbles : the Club was not really relaxing or that exclusive, and the patio space above the Club seemed pointless. Otherwise I would recommend w/o hesitationstaying here.
Thanks very much. It depends on your budget but I’d say the Intercontinental, Six Senses Yao Noi, The Naka Island, SALA Mai Khao and the Rosewood would be my top pics at a range of prices. Keep in mind Sept/Oct are the rainiest months of the year in Phuket. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Eating at the restaurants is fine, I saw it happen while I was there. Sipping drinks on the beach loungers I would guess is a no, though. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
did you stay at this resort? I am too having problem with selecting hotel in Phuket, seems like Covid effect is still a thing. Those who did well before Covid are struggling with quality and services, which I find it very confusing. Old days of good hotels with right price in Phuket are long gone, I believe. I am looking at Kata Noi beach and resorts nearby.
Hi, such a helpful video! - as always🤗 did you hear people from the neighbouring rooms or from the room above? This question is related to Pullman Arcadia, too😊
Thanks very much. If/when I hear noise bleed from outside, hallways or between rooms, I mention it specifically in the video. If no mention, then no problem. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
This looks amazing. I'd also like to get to see the Phi Phi islands. Is it possible to get there from this hotel without too much trouble? I lobe excursions and sightseeing
Yes there are 8 (I believe) duplex private pool villas flanking the spa in the rear of the resort. There are also 12 pool access villas but they are not entirely private. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Forgot to mention. If you’re looking for a private pool villa, you must check out The Naka Island Resort. It’s a Luxury Collection Property and I have a full tour of it on the channel. Best resort of the year for me.
My family and I will be staying here in June. Thank you for your informative video! I’m looking forward to seeing whether your markdowns were legitimate or merely quibbles. Also scratching my head at how you managed to find the best Caesar salad of your life in 2003. Based on your Instagram posts, I reckon you were like around 10 when you had your greatest ever salad?? 🧐
I think most would say that they're a step above what I normally review, but I avoid them for now as I’m not a fan of their pricing policies (essentially a baseline of $900/night, regardless of location) which makes them a really poor value in some of the locations I’d actually like to try them out. In no world should a resort in Vietnam be the same price as ‘the best’ hotel in Tokyo- especially when I know they pay standard minimum wages in Vietnam. When I see one that blows me away or seems worth the money- I’m happy to try one out.
Hello Kevin, Tania and I go to phuket at march 2024, and want to stay in Twinpalms phuket or Montazur is Surin let's say one the best and nice beaches on phuket?
Excellent video of a wonderful hotel. We had a lovely weekend there in a pool villa, and enjoyed it very much. I've uploaded a photo slideshow to my channel as well.
How long did it take for room service? Lol, was in this industry for over 40 yrs! You think YOU’RE picky???!🙄😝pppffft. Nice video, appreciate ‘authenticity’ of comments, as there are levels of service I desire. Thank you 🙏🏻
I've trained myself to take a photo of the phone every time I place room service since I know I'll always take photos of the food as soon as it comes- so I can accurately tell you now months later, 32 minutes 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏
Sorry was referring to the pool in general. Strange location overlooking the road, no service, no ambiance. Kinda felt like “hey… you know we didn’t design the roof yet… for just $xxx more, we could put a pool up there too…” Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
hey, whats the rule about smoking in beach? can you lit a cigs at the beach? and how about the other thing that make thai a new asian amsterdam? asking for a friend, for research purposes of course.

K thankuuu for outsiders to dine it's permitable

Really appreciate your efforts nice videos...
I need your advise..which 5 star resort and spa you nominate in phuket? I'll be there ib October 2022

@@tfft thanks bro.. yes I know that Oct is one of rainiest months in phuket but this is biz trip
Hope you enjoy!
nice, the drying rack is such a nice touch, awesome
Thanks for watching 🩴
I can’t sleep without watch your videos lol
Thanks for watching 🙏
Best review ever ! Thanks
Thanks very much for watching 🙏🏻
Stayed there in Aug 22. Stunning
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Its the best hotel review. Thanks
Thanks a lot for videos,all are amazing. I’m choosing between Sala Mai Kao and Intercontinental. What can you recommend?
Hey great video! Can I ask which camera gear do you use to film?
All filmed on iPhones.
@@tfft wow really, didn’t expect this at all. I thought you filmed with professional camera
Only guests are allowed to dine Or outsiders can dine or sip drinks in the Resort?
Eating at the restaurants is fine, I saw it happen while I was there. Sipping drinks on the beach loungers I would guess is a no, though. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Amazing video , can i ask what time of year you visited this hotel? We are considering mid-November for our first time in Thailand
This was early December.
I'm going to Phuket for a few weeks in January. I've been looking at a lot of different resorts, it's been a bit daunting. This one might just work.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@@UplifterMan We ended up changing our trip to South America. I'd still like to visit there sometime.
Like it. Nice enjoyable clip.
Thanks very much for watching 🙏🏻
Thank you for another well crafted review of a 5 star resort
Thanks for watching 🙏
hi, I want to ask what resort did you like the most in Samui? and what do you think about w resort?
I've never been to the W. My favorite in Samui is Six Senses (as said in the video lol).
Hi, such a helpful video! - as always🤗 did you hear people from the neighbouring rooms or from the room above? This question is related to Pullman Arcadia, too😊
Thanks very much. If/when I hear noise bleed from outside, hallways or between rooms, I mention it specifically in the video. If no mention, then no problem. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft thank you very much!! I keep following and watching your great journeys!✌🏼
This looks amazing. I'd also like to get to see the Phi Phi islands. Is it possible to get there from this hotel without too much trouble? I lobe excursions and sightseeing
Entirely depends on which marina you are departing from. Thanks for watching 🩴
great review. could you say something about location like local restaurants etc.?
There's loads of content about places to eat on the island, but it's something I just don't have the time to do. Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Love your videos. Maybe you could let us know the temperature and best time to travel. Thanks.
All of my videos published in the past 8 months have this. Thanks for watching 🩴
Are there private pool villas ?
Yes there are 8 (I believe) duplex private pool villas flanking the spa in the rear of the resort. There are also 12 pool access villas but they are not entirely private. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Forgot to mention. If you’re looking for a private pool villa, you must check out The Naka Island Resort. It’s a Luxury Collection Property and I have a full tour of it on the channel. Best resort of the year for me.
I appreciate the creativity, effort and the cultural aspect but i'd need to be told what i'm looking at to know what i was looking at
Thanks for watching 🙏
My family and I will be staying here in June. Thank you for your informative video! I’m looking forward to seeing whether your markdowns were legitimate or merely quibbles. Also scratching my head at how you managed to find the best Caesar salad of your life in 2003. Based on your Instagram posts, I reckon you were like around 10 when you had your greatest ever salad?? 🧐
Huh? Which IG account are you talking about? (Bc I don’t use IG…)
Sorry I didn’t mean to make waves. I’m looking forward to checking this resort out.
20:36 that closet should hold ur bag sir lol
Well, to be fair- I meant a place to open it that wasn’t the floor lol (I never unpack… so I need a bit of space 😂)
have you considered reviewing Amanpuri or any of the Aman resorts? how does Aman stack up in comparison to other lux resorts that you review?
I think most would say that they're a step above what I normally review, but I avoid them for now as I’m not a fan of their pricing policies (essentially a baseline of $900/night, regardless of location) which makes them a really poor value in some of the locations I’d actually like to try them out. In no world should a resort in Vietnam be the same price as ‘the best’ hotel in Tokyo- especially when I know they pay standard minimum wages in Vietnam.
When I see one that blows me away or seems worth the money- I’m happy to try one out.
You should review the Celebrity Beyond while you’re at it😀
Will actually be doing my first two cruise reviews this coming autumn… one will be Celebrity, but not Beyond 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft I will do Beyond transatlantic, can’t wait
Hello Kevin,
Tania and I go to phuket at march 2024, and want to stay in Twinpalms phuket or Montazur is Surin let's say one the best and nice beaches on phuket?
I’ve never stayed on Surin beach so I’m not the one to ask 😊 Thanks for watching 🩴
Excellent video of a wonderful hotel. We had a lovely weekend there in a pool villa, and enjoyed it very much. I've uploaded a photo slideshow to my channel as well.

11:11 What part is unnecessary? The pool itself, or that its adults only?
Sorry was referring to the pool in general. Strange location overlooking the road, no service, no ambiance. Kinda felt like “hey… you know we didn’t design the roof yet… for just $xxx more, we could put a pool up there too…” Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I like the hotel but now the room. Hey, I haven't seen the suites yet. Maybe I will change my mind
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Wow
Thanks for watching 🩴
I have to decide: This one or the Surin Phuket. What is your opinion?
I’ve never been to the Surin, so you can guess my recommendation 😃 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Intercontinental or Pullman?
Is there a restaurant that serves steak 🥩 ?
Their dinner restaurant Jaras is a Thai fusion spot and I don’t remember seeing one on their menu.
Dull?
No?
hey, whats the rule about smoking in beach? can you lit a cigs at the beach? and how about the other thing that make thai a new asian amsterdam? asking for a friend, for research purposes of course.
Not a clue lol. I'd sugget calling the resort directly for the latest information. Thanks for watching 🩴
Clean and pretty gardens and pine trees of a different variety than on a caribbean island. I would not come to this hotel.
Thanks for watching 🩴
