Smile House & Pool

The owners are lovely and supportive, while you still have your own independent bungalow. It’s a peaceful spot, just a minute or so from the busy main road, and getting to other places in southern Phuket is easy. I absolutely loved the resort and would come back next time I’m in Phuket. Highly recommend it.

Nui is fantastic, and the place feels like a tucked-away tropical haven. We had a great time, and it’s good value for families. Having a driver makes it easier to get out during the day, then come back and relax by the pool or in your private bungalow. Just plan your own meals: shops aren’t within walking distance and the cooking setup isn’t great. Still, you’re on vacation, and GRAB delivers. Nui will help with whatever you need, just ask and she’ll sort it out.

We loved our stay here with the family and are going to miss Nui. We hadn’t booked ahead, just showed up to ask about availability, and she made everything easy. She even arranged our taxis and brought my partner a birthday cake. Nui was amazing, the best owner we’ve come across. We hope she can save us a spot next trip.

Nui and her team made us feel like VIPs from arrival right through to leaving. The service was excellent, and if you need a taxi, scooter rental, or tuk tuk, Nui will arrange it when asked. The location worked well for us: Rawai Beach is 14 minutes away by taxi or tuk tuk, with places to eat and party, and Phuket central Mall isn’t far either. We did have the unfortunate experience of some arrogant, obnoxious guests, but otherwise everything was great. Good price for a really nice stay. Thanks for the lovely experience, I hope to visit again soon.
