I am based in Bangkok due to an overseas posting. I stayed here for a 3-night, 4-day trip to Phuket during the Songkran holiday. After checking in, you will be taken to your accommodation by buggy. You can also use this buggy to go to the beach. The beach seems to be a private beach of Anantara Resort, so there are not many people and you can relax. The kids were having fun without worrying about the people around them. Actually, I live in a landlocked prefecture in Japan, so it was a luxury for my kids to have their first time swimming in the sea at Mai Khao Beach. It was a quiet and calm beach and it was the best.
The staff were also very friendly and we had a stress-free stay. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so you can spend your time without any inconvenience.
The clientele is mostly Western, and there are not many Japanese. There are no noisy clients, so it is a good place to spend a quiet time.
The rooms are spacious, clean and impeccable. The overall level is high.
There are some events, so you won't get bored.
There is also a turtle release during Songkran.
