I have seen people stay at the Ayara Hilltops but not seen any reviews on FT yet. Any suggestions? I see prices around 150usd p/nt which doesnt seem bad for all the stuff offered. Is it good value for money or is there something better? Is this place as 'special' as it sounds?

And was wondering if I should stay at Phi-Phi or Phuket? I am there for a total of 6 days and would like to be in BKK for 2.

I'll be the first to admit, that Phi Phi Island is super lovely. I don't know why, but I never liked the place too much though. Great to go for a night or two, but I wouldn't stay the whole four.

Phuket has soooo many choices. And I know very little about the really nice places. I love the Hilton in Karon, The Le Meridian has a lovely setup, but the rooms are plain. And the list goes on. Hopefully others will chime in on some of the other resorts. I hear the JW Mariott is one of the nicer properties, but it is up by the airport, a little isolated.
