The Senses Resort, Phuket

We kicked off our trip in Phuket, Thailand. Our flight was at night so we didn't get to check into the hotel until around 1AM. By that time, I was already super hyped about the trip that we couldn't sleep so we walked down to 7-11 to grab bottles of water and Coke for the bottle of Crown we brought along with us. Mind you, this hotel is located on top of a hill.. a steep one at that. The fact that we walked EVERYWHERE in Patong each day meant for a lot of motivational words going up that hill after lots of drinking and eating. Nonetheless, it was a good workout! Despite not being super close to the main strip of restaurants, bars, stores, beach, etc it was nice to be away because that area never sleeps so it's constant noise.

The rooms were so pretty and simple. Larry and I want to design a house like this haha

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

Since the hotel is on a hill, many of the floors are split level and required different elevators all of which were clear so we could enjoy the view

Pool time on the first day since we didn't plan any tours

 I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Patong area of Phuket. A walk to the beach is about 25 minutes, to the outdoor market about 15 minutes. Various bars line the hotel street along with convenience stores so the only thing to battle is the hill. The service is impeccable and the breakfast buffet was pretty delicious as well including an array of Thai, Western, and Asian food in general. The staff was accommodating and helped a lot with tour pick-ups. They also upgraded our room to the deluxe suite with the ocean view because it was available. Staying at the Senses was a great way to start our honeymoon!
