Well where do i start?? How can you really put into words the experience we had at Sandalwood Villas. The room, The staff, The owner, The views,The spa,The food everything was absolutely amazing. We spent our honemoon on the 14th of November 2009 for 12 nights in the Plumeria room. I really would like to say it was awlful so know one finds out about it but i would feel so guilty. The room was just perfect in every way. Cant wait for our next trip to there. I will miss everyone dearly from Sandalwood. The staff become part of your family and all those beautiful smiles make it so much more pleasant. Really hope to see you all again soon.
Warms regards

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Sandalwood and can't wait to return. We stayed in Jasmine, which was a beautiful villa with a gorgeous view from the balcony. Even though this was one of the less expensive villas probably due to the fact that it is for 4 people max (it has a loft room which would be perfect for a family of 4 - 2 adults/2 children) and there is no jacuzzi on the balcony. However, it was next to the pool/reception area which was convenient and quiet and it had one of the best views of the coastline. We asked to be shown round some of the more expensive villas which were all lovely but we would probably stay in Jasmine again as it was perfect for the two of us and we are not bothered about having a jacuzzi. We had most of our meals in the hotel's restaurant because the food was so yummy and delicious !! And some of the best we had in Thailand. The spa was lovely and our package included 5 fantastic treatments each so we had a one almost every day. The staff were amazing and were constantly checking that we were enjoying our stay and everything was to our liking. The staff really made it special for us and we were sad to say our goodbyes at the end of the trip - we knew them all on a first name basis by the time we left. We only hope to return and see them all again! We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone wishing for lots of relaxation and quiet time. It is a bit out of the town but this is not a problem with the free shuttle service that Sandalwood offers and to be honest, after experiencing the nearby towns we would not want to be located there as it is definately not as nice. This place is outstanding and worth every penny - we can't wait to go back!!! A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE LOVELY STAFF AT SANDALWOOD!!!

I don't know where to begin as there is so much I want to write about Sandalwood. It's not a resort it's paradise. If you want to have the best holiday you have ever had, go to Sandalwood. You will be pampered and treated like a King and Queen. My husband I spent 12 glorious nights there in Nov/Dec 2009 for our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was the best holiday we have ever had. We wish we had stayed here for our honeymoon! The rooms are just amazing, the staff are brilliant and the views are breathtaking.

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, the staff at Sandalwood took care of all our needs. They booked our day tours, reserved restaurants, drove us anywhere we wanted to go and just made us feel so important and cared for. It truly is like a family there. I wish i could be back there. My husband and I are already discussing and planning to go there again for our next holiday. We stayed in Jumpee, Amarin and Orchid rooms (as they were fully booked out so we had to split up our stay in order to be there) it was great as we got to experience the different rooms and have different views each time. All three rooms were fantastic, Amarin was my favourite. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Robert who was such a great friendly person and gave us such wonderful information about Thailand and places to go in Koh Samui. He made us feel so welcome.

Upon our arrival, Taeng showed us around the resort and to our rooms and gave us such wonderful information. She is such a beautiful, friendly, gracious, lovely person and gives you all the time in the world and makes you feel confident that she will take care of all our needs (which she always did). I am so thankful to Taeng for all her time and dedication, she really helped make this a dream holiday. Other key persons were Joy and Pon who made sure everything was running smoothly and always so friendly. Yom and all the other drivers, were always so friendly and so patient. The restaurant staff were just wonderful, so friendly and so hospitable. The food was AMAZING. We ate at Sandalwood restaurant many nights and dined on our deck a few times also. So brilliant!

The girls in the spa are just unbelievable! They are so talented! I went and had a treatment almost every single day, from massages, to body scrubs to manicures, they did it all and so professionally.

Basically, to sum it all up, i would highly recommend you stay at Sandalwood Villas if you want amazing value for money and the best romantic holiday of a lifetime. I guarantee you will want to return again and again and again.

We will be returning very soon!

We would put our stay at Sandalwood at or near the top of all the hotels that we have stayed at. The staff went out of their way to make sure our every need/request was met. The views from our 3 bedroom villa (Lewaladee) were spectactular. but it wasn't just the views, the food is excellent as well. We went to Chaweng beach for dinner one night and while it was good to do something different, the food was no where near the quality at Sandalwood. Given that there are only about 10 villas on the property, we were quite surprised at the extremely high quality of food. We spent a couple days in Bangkok and found the food very disappointing as well so Sandalwood made up for the lack of quality food elsewhere. If you go, make sure you get the pineapple rice, we had that almost every day!!!!

We have 2 small children and while we were the only family with children on the resort, but we felt very welcome and our kids well taken care of. If you want to enjoy resort life with small children, this is the place to do it. The even offerred to babysit the kids (which we didnt take advantage of). My wife raves about the spa also and the prices were very reasonable. They have a shuttle or taxi that can take you to Chaweng daily so if you need the beach or city life that is available.

If you are looking to party, i wouldn't recommend this property, it is more of a romantic, private place.

I've got no complaints!!! Sandalwood is a terrific value and we hope to come back and enjoy a stay in the future.
