Hi Veronica,
Thought I'd give you a review of the hotel, dunno if you come to this site but I know you'll receive an email notification.
Well the hotel is definitely away from the tourist tack but it's so far away from everything you feel like you've been taken hostage. There are no taxis (they're at the bottom of the hill at the bay hotel) other than the official hotel transportation so it's extortionately priced. Better to take the shuttle bus to the bay hotel and then go to the Aquarium and get a bus there to Phuket town.
Accomodation was ok had a few problems with ants!
Food at the hotel, there's a lot of choices of places to eat, breakfast (incl in price) is good but it's expensive 900baht is more than I want to pay for a mediocre meal. But I ate something dodgy at dinner and I ended up in hospital for a day and a night on a drip.
The beach is pretty small and be careful when going in the sea cos there is a bugger load of coral and my boyfriend cut himself on it. There is a cool underwater path that you can walk on and all the fish come around you, nibbling your bikini strings!
Here are a few pictures! Didn't take that many pictures! Sorry
