This place is great and you won't dislike it, however, for the seasoned traveler looking for first class luxury you might be a little disappointed.

We found the staff absolutely lovely and extremely helpful in anything we needed assistance with, The rooms were spotless, our villa was on the top of a hill with a terrific view, and carts transported you up, if desired.

We have just returned from a 3 week stay in Phuket. We were booked into another Hotel but it was awful so we changed to Hilltops. What a great move. We had seen and looked at the Hotel before on previous stays. We booked a deluxe jacuzzi villa which I can wholeheartedly recommend. The higher the class of room you... More
