The best of the best!

The world’s best hotel and best service team. They truly define what uber luxury service and genuine care means. We have been returning annually to this and only this hotel for the past 11 years and will continue to do so for as long as possible. They have always treated us as welcomed family members and have never spared any thing less than the best and most perfect for us. Food quality and taste are amazing, property perfect and comfortable. Everything is dreamy and amazing!

Absolutely gorgeous and amazing stay at Phulay Bay. The grounds, the design, the spacious rooms (with amazing bathroom suites) are all amazing, but it's the service that puts it over the top. Our personal butler, Khun Aea, tended to our every need before we even asked, and took such good care of us. Every single member of the staff goes out of their way to give the guests a perfect stay.

Wow what can I say. First 5 star hotel, as noted with different reviews/stories, we did have a personal butler who helped arrange activities, dining, etc. made the experience so much easier. Of course, the staff was wonderful. Food was exceptional. No beach on property but still very luxurious and resort like. Finally, informed the hotel of our honeymoon stay and got a room upgrade and some other perks. Overall, 10/10, highly recommend this place!

Wow! Probably the best service of any hotel I’ve stayed at. Angela, our butler, was extremely attentive and the other staff we met in the resort were very helpful and friendly (special call out for Lif). Rooms were spacious and beautiful, which great ocean views. Restaurants had great food. Would highly recommend a stay here.
