Mom Tri's Villa Royale is indeed a hidden gem. The breakfast is incredible, very versatile. The room was big and beautiful with a view of the bay. The best thing in this hotel is the staff. We felt very special every day - great vacation and will come again! The hotel is not in a busy, happening spot of Phuket but the hotel arranges for transportation and outings. The hotel is right over the water and you can hear the waves.
