Frommer's Exceptional

Set in 75 acres of lawns and lush tropical gardens, the Hilton Phuket Arcadia is a modern, full-facility resort. Many of the stylish guest rooms overlook Karon Beach. Ocean-view rooms are set in three wings. Upgraded rooms are luxurious, with cool Thai touches and great Thai contemporary furnishings throughout. The hotel sports a large spa village with 15 purpose-built spa villas connected by raised wooden platforms in a mellow, wooded glen at the heart of the resort. The in-house dining choices are great (go for the Thai restaurant), and everything about the place is classy, with snappy service that doesn't leave out a genuine Thai smile of welcome. There are no rack rates, but the below rates are a good overall guide. Facilities: 6 restaurants; lounge bar w/live band; 3 pools; scuba diving lessons; golf course nearby and putting green on site; outdoor lighted tennis courts; fitness center; spa; gameroom; tour desk; airport transfer; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; Wi-Fi.
