Sandalwood Luxury Villa Resort Reviews

Rated location a 5/5, not because it is just a doorstep away from popular night markets, or just beside a beach, or the steep slope up to the villa, but because of the amazing view point it provides and the quiet sanctuary we are looking for in a retreat! The resort does offer free shuttles to areas in coral cove and (our favourite) crystal bay, which is great. Service (receptionist through WhatsApp, and drivers, cleaning) was very prompt and fuss free. Room was spacious and comfortable, facilities (eg bathroom, jacuzzi) were clean. Will definitely visit again! Thanks for making our retreat an enjoyable one.

Stunning hilltop location, couldn’t ask for better. Watching the planes fly in over the bay, chilling in your private cool, absolute paradise. Quality meals if you’re keen to stay in, great staff, shuttle service to the local beaches. Will return for sure.

One of the best hotels! Richly decorated Siam style hotel. High on a hill with breathtaking views. Definitely worth staying.

I sent 12 e-mails before arrival. She never replied, The location is not good, there's nothing nearby. You really have to take a cab to get there. There's a big climb for 10 minutes. What's more, I booked a cab at 10.15pm in the evening. She confirmed by message that it was okay. I waited until 11:30 and still nothing. I had to call another Taxi of the hotel which made me pay 500 baht instead of 400 in more, it does not even know excused that the Taxi did not come it is somebody of Not serious and the day of my departure I go to the reception to pay the things which I had one to pay and there were 400 baht more to pay I put the question it said to me it is a cab that you took, I said I had paid for the cab, she called me and wanted to charge me 400 baht more if I hadn't seen it.

Butifull place to stay,staff are so helpful, would definitely recommend this place 👌 😀

The views are amazing. I would return just for the views. You can arrange for a shuttle that brings you down to crystal bay beach between 8am to 5pm. If you need to be picked up after 5pm there's a 100baht charge. Breakfast was ok with a pretty decent selection of mains. I had the egg benedict which came with a choice of smoked salmon or ham. Staff were amazing and very helpful. This was the icing on the cake.

Only good thing is view only stayed 2-3 hours air-condition weren’t strong enough to able my wife to sleep in the room. Also you cannot walk anywhere. They could not find any room better for cooling. The one they offered was next to construction area and they want $30 per night more so we left hotel immediately went to another hotel and we were so happy. They did not give us our money back. They need stronger air conditioning system for their rooms. If you are ok with heat in the room and cannot go anywhere without paying them then enjoy your stay.

Just amazing, we couldn’t fault anything we had an amazing stay from minute one… the Sandalwood Luxury Villas are paradise ♥️

Beautiful hotel in a great location overlooking the sea. We had a large suite with 2 floors overlooking the pool and the sea. Staff was extremely accommodating and provided us with gear we needed for snorkeling. There is always staff available to take us to wherever we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again.

We had good stay in this hotel. I forgot to mention that we wanted an early-checkout and a transportation to the airport, but robert who is the owner, was quick to arrange it early in the morning. Thank you very much for your prompt response, and see you next time!

Good location and good breakfast

The service is very good. Hotel staff will add WeChat in advance to ask about pick-up and other matters. The hotel is on a hillside, which is indeed a bit steep. It is best to use the hotel's car. There is a free car every day to take you to the two nearby beaches. The view on the mountain is very good and quiet. The swimming pool is a little small.

The room is very spacious, in a loft style like an apartment. The whole room is close to the mountains and the sea, and the balcony view is very beautiful! There is a faint sandalwood scent in the room, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The jacuzzi is very comfortable. The hotel is located halfway up the mountain. Although the mountain road is very steep, guests can be picked up for free. Free shuttle services to two nearby beaches are also provided from 8 to 17 o'clock every day. If you want to snorkel, there are masks and tubes for you to pick up next to the front desk. The hotel service is very good. The hotel added my WeChat two days before departure through the phone number and communicated in advance. After the previous guest checked out, they also cleaned and provided check-in as soon as possible (checked in at about 12:50 noon), and the service attitude of the staff is also first-class.

We often book a holiday in a villa and very often expectations and reality diverge. But not in this case! The villa is gorgeous, the pool was clean on the 8th day of stay, upon request, the pool was cleaned on the same day (in many villas this is a problem) and here immediately upon call, the room cleaning was also excellent! The view from the patio is wonderful, the house itself is very spacious , the beds and pillows are excellent! A very thoughtful and well-organized space! Regarding the road to the villa: it’s not such a steep climb, the road is wide, cars pass without problems. There is also a delivery service to the store and beaches. In general, a great option for accommodation, I will definitely return there again!
