Appreciate any other feedback on comparing these 2 hotels.
JW Phuket have a great location for boat excursion, harbors are mostly in the east of Phuket and some are very close.
JW Khao lak is really on Phang Nga peninsula, it's too far for Phuket excursion, unless you want to spend your life in transportation.
JW Phuket have old style Thai building and rooms, JW Khao Lak have modern rooms/style.
I preferred the service that I get in JW Phuket and the upgrade was much better too, breakfast have superior quality items than the JW Khao Lak and It's more quiet (2 locations possible).
