Went there last spring break. Pool is amazing, seriously Instagrammable. But yeah, the reviews weren't lying about the mixed vibe. It's kinda... schizophrenic. One minute it's families splashing around, the next it's a group of twenty-somethings doing shots by the bar. Didn't get the sense it leans strongly either way, more like a weird blend. If you're looking for pure chill, maybe not the ideal spot. If you can handle a bit of chaos alongside the cocktails and sunshine, you'll probably be fine. Just manage expectations – it’s not exclusively one thing or the other.

Get off the main streets! Seriously. Wander down the sois (side streets). Phuket Old Town's charm isn't just the main drag; it's in the little alleys and tucked-away temples. Talk to people – shopkeepers, locals hanging out at streetside stalls. Even a simple "Sawasdee" (hello) opens doors. You'll find amazing little eateries, family-run businesses, and local markets that aren't in any guidebook. Try to go during a local festival if you can time it – completely different vibe. And don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's where the real discoveries happen. Plus, you'll probably find even better Pad See Ew.
