Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve

From the moment you arrive u are transported into something very unique , we have never experienced such sublime service from arrival to departure we were in hands of Habib our butler ( he must be the best in the word) he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed every moment . Managers come to see you at breakfast and around in the day to have a daily chat adding the personal touch , unusual these days ! Lovely people everywhere guest , staff all just amazing . The villas are outstanding so cool , food is great , sunset bar perfect spot , spa and gym perfect too . Plenty to do locally on ur door step just a few minutes in a tuck tuck - can’t beat this location ! Complimentary daily trip to Hong island for white sand and coconuts ! We will return soon Pulay Bay you are the best ! Try Beach bar 79 for local beach evening fun !

Looking for paradise?, then look no further. This hotel blew us away…..everything and I mean everything was just perfect. This hotel is only matched by our stay at The One & Only Palm Dubai. If you’re looking for Ultra Luxury then I recommend this resort 100% . We had a Reserve Pavilion that not only had the largest bed we have ever slept in but also the largest bath. The greeting upon entering the resort is very special (sorry but I’m not going to spoil the surprise for future guests) You are made to feel as if you are the most important person in house and from our butler Pin who did a fabulous job ferrying us around on the club buggy to the pool staff who tended to our every wish (I wanted a strawberry milkshake, not on the menu but hey no worries let’s make you one. The attitude of never say “No” is clearly a motto and culture of the staff/resort Now I class myself as a bit of a foodie…..you will not be disappointed as good as any Michelin Starred restaurant you will be spoilt for choice and quality (Just been awarded 3 Michelin Keys - justly deserved) Thanks Ritz Charlton Reserve Phulay Bay, a job well done……The only problem we had was leaving…..we will be back P.S we did the complementary trip to Hong Island well worth it

Exceptional architecture, sumptuous villas, beautiful gardens, beautiful location. The only downside is the preposterous price tag on things that are just average - as food in their international restaurant. 75 USD for a simple sea bass which is just mediocre - in Thailand - come on... And even if you have a beautiful building for your spa - why do you need 200 USD for 90 minutes if you could at a more attractive price, reflecting the therapists’ salary not being like in London, provide pleasure to guests more often and provide more quality jobs to the local community? I don't mind paying for villas that are unique, but prices like in touristic areas of Rome for middle class food - that feels like „we charge it, because we can". If you think it’s part of your luxury signature that everything has to be at the highest price level near and far - well - then offer Michelin quality in all your restaurants if you so much want to concentrate on the high end and do not offer very regular kitchen in your biggest restaurant. (The seafood restaurant has a decent price-quality relation, as it's really good. Basically three times the quality for the same cost. But you will not be able to get a table there every evening....)

Gorgeous hotel, very friendly staff. The rooms are made for honeymooners with extra large beds, double size bathtub and double showers. The pool is amazing, never gets too crowded. The sunset bar offers the most amazing views over the islands with live music on Saturdays. We appreciated the hotels decision not to make a sand beach and respecting the natural rocky shores. In compensation, they offer a boat trip to an island with a sandy beach which was nice but the time we had to spend on the busy beach was too long for our liking. Maybe they could find a less busy island to take the guests to? The food was excellent, maybe they should have included more local seafood in the menu of their fine dining restaurant. Keep in mind that the portions are small And beware ladies not to wear any heels. All by all a very relaxing few days, ideal for a weekend escape.

We had such an amazing stay here! From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming. The hotel is spotless and very well maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. The food was fantastic! We tried both the Thai restaurant and the international restaurant, and every dish was absolutely delicious. A special shout-out to Bow—she was amazing! Her service was outstanding, and she truly made our dining experience memorable. She is definitely a great asset to the team. Our butler, Khun Jack, also provided excellent hospitality. He took such great care of us throughout our stay, always attentive and making sure we had everything we needed. His service made a big difference in our overall experience. I also booked a two-hour spa treatment, and it was incredible! I slept so well afterward—like a newborn baby. Sadly, I forgot my therapist’s name, or else I would have mentioned her here because she truly did a wonderful job. The only small feedback I have is that amenities like mouthwash should be provided in the room. Other than that, everything was perfect. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning in the future!
