Frommer's Review

One of the earliest resorts on Phuket, the Pearl Village was destroyed in the 2004 tsunami and, after extensive restoration, was reborn as Indigo Pearl Resort. Its reincarnation was the work of landscape designer and Bangkok-resident, Bill Bensley, and a team of local artisans. The new resort is a creative masterpiece. On the periphery of the National Park, the hotel is isolated from the ravages of over-development characterizing the rest of touristy Phuket. The facilities are excellent, especially for families -- with rooms ranging from pavilions and villas to exquisitely furnished suites. The one drawback is that you're out in the sticks here but, for rest and recreation, the resort is perfectly self-contained and close to nature. The resort was the winner of the 2007 Condé Naste Traveller "Best New Resort" award.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; bar; lounge; pool; outdoor lit tennis courts; fitness center; watersports and dive center; bike rental; international golf course nearby; kid's club; game room; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport transfer; room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; Thai cooking classes; Internet.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
