It's important to differentiate between the resort facitlities and Atmanjai Wellness and Detox Program. The resort is good and the location and pool are excellent but the Atmanjai component is exceptional in every possible way. The staff were professional, caring and competant. My return visit in April/May was very therapeutic to my family following the recent death of my husband... More

The staff, food, room, pool and beach make this spot a gem. Everything was fantastic and we could not fault the three days my husband and I spent here. I loved the outdoor shower and also the beautiful beach and bay right along side the pool. Will definitely stay again.

You are exactly the type of customer we want to cater to; enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, informal, away from the road and noisy hustle and bustle and enjoy an outstanding menu of Thai, Western and Vegetarian foods. Thank you for your comments. We look forward to having you again. Best regards, STARR More

What a phenomenal place! While I didn't stay here, I did get engaged to my girlfriend here. I had been planning the event for a month or more and the staff was more than willing to help me pull it off.

Friendship is a great alternative to the big resorts on Phuket. The setting is lovely. The staff is extraordinary and the food is quite good.

I came 2 years ago in a very quiet and ventilated place. I spent 3 nights in an crowded and expensive place (3.800 TB/ night). No swimming in the sea, but many wind surfing, horse riding for the tourists. There is a 7/11 shop on the other side of the busy four lanes Rawai road. My room was luxurious and... More

2 years ago? Phuket is certainly busier than 2 years ago, it is a very popular destination. That’s why so many visitors appreciate our quiet small resort, with great privacy, set well off the main road next to the beach. I’m glad that you appreciated the large room, which at 3,800 B per night, is excellent value for a waterfront... More

Staff is super friendly and helpful. The general atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly. If you're looking for an alternative to the overcrowded places on Phuket's West Coast, go to Friendship Beach. The beach is not perfect for swimming, the pool serves as a great alternative though. Daytrips around Phuket Island are easily bookable - everything is within reach. The restaurant... More
