For those of you who recommend the JW Phuket have any of you been there during late May/early June? How much does the experience differ from the rainy season and the peak season. Also, how is the shuttle that takes you into town? I have noticed that you can't swim in the sea at the JW during the rainy season because it is rough surf. Can you still go elsewhere to snorkle/dive? How far is it to Phi Phi? Any additional information you have on the JW Phuket would be great. We have narrowed down our choices to Italy & France or Phuket.

Thanks again!
