The HI Phuket has a nice setup for those staying in the Busakorn Villas. It's a shared pool, but only amongst 20 or so Villa rooms. You basically open a sliding door at the back of the room and there's steps leading straight down into the pool from each room. So not 100% private, but still somewhat secluded, and two thumbs up convinience wise!
No, $1500 is not my regular price range, especially if planning for a 2 week vacation :-)
The HI Phuket Villas sound good, though I´m afraid our cheerfully playing little son, shouting in the almost private pool might ruin the privacy for some other pool-user ;-)
