We visited Peace Blue for a week in mid-November, i.e. shoulder season, staying in a plunge pool villa. Essentially, we can only echo the many positive reviews already published. Patty helped us from the very earliest stage of the booking process (when I emailed a question about paying directly through the website), reassuringly arranged the airport pickup service and continued to provide attentive service with numerous special human touches throughout our stay. Her husband Golf was always available to help out with practical matters and cheerfully drove us to Naiharn Beach on our second day as a free shuttle service. Perhaps overlooked in this picture are the wonderful team of resort staff, who go about their work with warmth, friendly smiles and quiet, discreet professionalism. Some specifics that may help others: the weather was in the range of 24-32 Celsius every day. Yes, we had some brief heavy (warm) downpours, but we expected then and they made jumping into the pool even more exotic! You can buy a plastic poncho very cheaply in the convenience stores, which as noted by others, are in plentiful supply just a couple of minutes' walk away on the main road. If your budget stretches to a plunge pool villa, there is much to be said for it – the private pool and jacuzzi in the back are heavenly. You will, however, find yourself going up and down the stairs quite often, so anyone with mobility issues may be better off with a regular hotel room on ground level. The wifi was consistent, with only very occasional lags. The L-shaped pool is the resort's centrepiece, always clean, available and warm. We did not sample the hotel restaurant, not for any negative reason but simply because we enjoyed trying several of the local establishments in the neighbourhood. Money-changing booths abound in Phuket, including on the main street next to the hotel, so there is absolutely no need to change currency in advance. Biggest surprise of our stay: the Phuket Smart Bus! We had fully expected to have to rent a scooter or even a car for the remainder of our stay, after asking Patty to organise our airport pickup because of the plane's late evening arrival. To our surprise, however, we discovered that the Smart Bus has a stop close to the resort (Sai Yuan, at most 10 mins. walk). What is more, the driver sells multi-trip passes for 1, 3 and 5 days. As long as you are prepared for a certain lack of punctuality, it is an affordable and relaxed way to explore the west coast of the island, starting from Rawai Beach in the south, through Patong, Surin Beach and all the way up to the airport. Downloading the Smart Bus app is strongly recommended because it enables you to track the buses in real time. Negatives: a good reviewer should always try to provide constructive criticism, but in this case it is really not easy. As mentioned, the villas have a staircase that would be challenging for some. In addition, while the downstairs level features a lovely bathroom and g
