Our stay at Jirana was truly memorable partly because of the villa itself and the amazing views it offered of Patong Beach and the other amenities (pool, spacious rooms, etc) that were impeccably maintained by the courteous staff, but largely because of the tireless hospitality of the resort manager, Dean. From the moment we walked in to the hour we left, Dean had us covered-- his attention to detail ensured that we had the best transportation arranged to take us around (ask for Sakarin, the best driver on the island), and that our stomachs were filled with the best local fare--sumptuous and reasonably priced.
Dean and his staff made sure our stay was thoroughly enjoyable and, though we've been to Phuket several times before, we will not hesitate to stay at Jirana on all our future visits! A very positive experience all around!
