Paradise is a good name for this rental. It is off the beaten path, with a private swimming pool and air conditioned bedrooms. The pool was awesome!

The “master bedroom” is huge and the bathroom has an enormous jetted tub. The second “master” is smaller with no tub in the bathroom. The villa comes with a “butler” who is a concierge that you can call any time to help you make massage appointments, and translate for the cook – yes, it comes with a 9-5 housekeeper and cook. We called him about a million times on the first day to help translate with the various places we needed to go to get a sim card up and running on my phone.

TECH
The WIFI is very good. The villa comes with a computer that you can use to stream movies and TV. Netflix and Amazon Prime do filter by IP address, so you can’t get many things you can get in the US, so download first to be safe.

TRANSPORTATION
Transportation we arranged with the butler was very expensive. They property has a car and 2 motor bikes available for rent if you feel comfortable driving on the left side of the road. We didn’t. We ended up arranging a boat and an old city tour ourselves using tripadvisor, etc. We were very happy with both – they picked us up and dropped us off. We were only there for 5 days so problems getting around did not impact us.

I recommend Bismarks Paradise’s Jasmine Villa in Phuket!
