5th January 2012
Raena came home for a 2-week vacation from work in Edinburgh. We spent the New Year's weekend in Melaka. She also wished for a sunny sea-side holiday to make up for the cold, rainy and snowy winter of Scotland. Pakdokter found this lovely resort in Phuket from on-line searches and booked a family suite for a 5-night weekend in Phuket.
The Secret Cliff Resort is sited along the road connecting Patong to Karon. Perched on a steep slope, the resort a somewhat of a less luxurious Datai of Langkawi and of course came with a more affordable price. Although we arrived quite early that morning ( around 10 am) - our suite was already available for us to move in. From the balcony we had a panorama of the Andaman Sea with the Karon Beach to the left. Being made up of villas built on rather steep slopes - this resort would pose a problem for the elderlies and the physically unfit as the walk to from the the reception area was quite an effort.

the infinity pool overlooking the Andaman Seathe pool is a bit too small, though....
the steep tracks from the reception to the sea was good for stamina training..
