Hi
I hope I am still in time to answer Geraldine and Particia. I am a great fan of this Thai island and I make 2 to 3 trips there a year and each time and I try to explore different resorts each time I am there. Can't get enough of Phuket, massage and Thai food. I have stayed in Burasari twice. Nice boutique resort, friendly staff, good location, beautiful roodms, good service and great breakfast selection. Free wireless internet access. Need I say more =)
There are plenty of water sports along Patong beach, banana boar, jet ski parasailing, board surfing. I recommend that you do flight and hotel separately as you will then have a wider selection of resorts. Try asiatravel.com or asiarooms.com for booking of rooms. Since this is your first trip to Phuket, I suggest that you do something like island hopping or cave canoeing. Not sure if you want to stay on Phi Phi coz it depends what kind of resorts you are looking at. Perhaps you want to do day trip instead of staying over there. You can book the day trips including accomodation when you are in Phuket. Not to worry coz it's low season in May. Remember to bargain when buying days trips.
If doing free and easy, can do the public taxi instead of mini van or bus even there are only 2 of you. About Baht 350-400. When you exit the arrival hall into the open area outside the building, turn to your right and walk to the end. There is a taxi counter. Note, outside the building ok coz there are a lot of tax/mini-vans counter once you clear custom and collected your bags.
Hope the above information helps and not too late. Oh yes, when you are there, do go the the Zen Japanese Restaurant along Patong Beach and there is another outlet at the Central Festiva off Phuket town. Cheap and good Japanese food. Do visit the shopping mall, Junceylon (I think spelling may not be right but you won’t miss this mall behind Patong Beach)
I am leaving for Phuket this Friday again =) you gals have a good and enjoyable trip with your love ones and friends =)
