"Paradise on earth!"
Renting a house over internet
is always challenging. Of
course photos are available,
but aren't we too often over
cautious? Well I was. But the
support and the availability
of the owner ahead of our stay
were great. Thanks, Alena! Now
of course, our expectations
were at the top when we got
there, after a red eye flight
with children! Well no
disappointment! Stuart, the
resort manager, welcomed us
nicely in ... a paradise!
Exactly what you can expect
from the pictures and the
description. The villa is 2 km
away from the coast, in the
middle of a beautiful tropical
forest, in the north part of
the island, 15 minutes away
from Chaweng. So nice
restaurants and frenzy is
close-by while the house is in
a calm and protected
environment. The best of the
two worlds! The house is
decorated with a lot of taste
and has all amenities you
could expect. And when the
night comes, the tasteful
lighting makes it magic! In
short you really feel like a
welcomed guest in a beautiful
house! We already booked it
for our next stay! :-)
Mr. Tim Darton - August 31st, 2010
Thank you for such a
wonderful, chilled-out and
relaxed 3 weeks at Samran
Gardens in the Sanbonani villa
in May, 2010.
Service, advice and attention
to detail was excellent and
very much appreciated. The
grounds were kept immaculate
and the staff was friendly and
helpful. We enjoyed our stay
very much and look forward to
it again in the near future.
I would highly recommend this
for a base to explore Ko Samui
and the surrounding islands.
Many thanks,
Tim Darton,

We stayed at Sanbonani Villa
for a week this month. Not
only did the villa take our
breath away when we first
entered it but were extremely
impressed with the way Stuart
went out of his way to make
our stay as enjoyable as
possible. Thank you so much
for everything.
We will be seeing you again in
the near future.
Ivan and Jill Martin, London.

Well just a note to follow up
our holiday, our 4 th stay now
in Samran Gardens, we had such
a good time, loved the house
and surroundings too. So sorry
we just did not have time to
drop in on our departure, but
you know how it is, last
minute stuff to do etc etc.
It was so good to see more
tourists in the area than on
our previous trip, so let's
hope it continues for you all,
and the recession is less
biting than it was.
It was so hard coming back to
the cold and wearing all the
thick clothing again, how I
loathe it, but at least the
snow is away thank goodness.
Anyway, thank you for everything.
Our regards and best wishes to
you both.

Jane and Peter - March 11th, 2009
Thank you so much - we had a
super holiday in the
'Sanbonani' villa in early
February. The villa was great,
the pool and garden lovely.
Never seen such marvelous
beach towels! Maybe the villa
could do with a couple of
sunloungers. It would be great
to have a few more flowering
shrubs/bushes around the pool
and garden to encourage even
more butterflies.
We will certainly consider
visiting again next year.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Jane & Peter Rassmusen
Denmark
(Many Thanks Jane and Peter
for your kind words, 2 sun
loungers were added to the
villa on Tuesday this week and
I shall pass on the idea about
more plants).
Mrs. Deborah Fulwood - August 30th, 2010
Location, location, on the beach
means on the beach at this amazing
home, Akuvara! Its private,
definately not touristy like many
other parts of the island and you
are totally spoilt by the amazing
staff. The bedrooms are separate
from the main living area giving
great privacy and they are designer
decorated. The beds are extrememly
comfortable, the ensuite spotless
and its all air- conditioned! One
of the hardest decisions I had to
make was choosing from the menu,
there was so much to choose from
and it all tantalised my tastebuds!
[I now love Thai food!] Another
hard decision was whether I would
swim in the pool, lay on the daybed
in the salah and gaze at the five
islands in the distance or swim and
snorkle in the sea... too hard to
decide so I just did it all!
Snorkling the little reef was
amazing...so many coloured fish and
coral. I dont think I could say
what I liked the best as the whole
stay at Akuvara was fantastic,
although sitting in the shallows at
low tide, watching the amazing
sunsets every evening with my drink
being refreshed by the staff takes
some beating. What I liked least
was saying goodbye but I will
definately return!
Mr. Dave Donnelly - August 30th, 2010
We stayed at the Sanbonani
Villa for two weeks in late
July, early August, 2010. We
are a modern family of six and
we wanted a family holiday
where we could spend time on
the one environment rather
than be split up in hotel
rooms. After quite a bit of
research I found Samran
Gardens and having exchanged a
few emails with Stuart, the on
site villa manager, decided
this was the place for us, we
were not disappointed and had
a fantastic time. The villa
was spacious enough to
comfortably accommodate all of
us. Having the pool proved to
be invaluable especially for a
family, the kids spent most of
their free time there and it
was idyllic. Eating out was
easy, there are great little
restaurants in the village,
uncle Noi's was great, it had
a family atmosphere, the food
and the prices were
incredible. There is large
Tesco's in Bo Phut should you
feel the need for some home
cooking. Overall a great place
to stay and I have no
hesitation in recommending it.
We will be back again.

Mr. Rex Fowler - August 29th, 2010
We just wanted to say thank
you for a lovely stay in Koh
Samui at your villa, Baan
Flora. I'm only sorry that we
didn't invite you & your wife
for dinner after all that you
did for us. I'm sure we'll
come again so next time we'll
arrange a night with you guys.
Cheers

Mr. Marc Rickett - August 28th, 2010
This is our second visit to
the island and Baan Lily was
far superior in all respects.
The accomodation is stunning
and a credit to Tim and Helen
both are attentive amd
extremely helpful. We had
internet issues which were
rectified immediately. The
villa is perfect for children
our 5+12 yr olds loved the
very large pool which is set
in a very well kept garden, we
most certsinly would return.
Ms. Rani Olafsdottir - August 25th, 2010
I spent five wonderful days in
Baan Wanora on Koh Samui
island in June this year, and
want to share the experience
with you. When I arrived, I
was overworked and mentally
tired. After being installed
into my delightful room, I
went straight for the swimming
pool. What a pool! The best
salt-water pool I ever swam
in. I hardly moved out of the
villa these five days, apart
from walking on the beach very
early every morning watching
the sun rise, but my favourite
activity was swimming in the
pool, under the stars, with
the soft sound of the ocean
ebbing and flowing. The one
word, I would use to describe
this place, is serenity. The
calm and quiet is immensely
soothing and relaxing, coming
from a stressful life in a big
city. Everything, including
food and service is of very
high standard in Baan Wanora,
which makes for the perfect,
relaxed holiday with or
without your loved one!
Mr. Dewey Choy - August 21st, 2010
Dewey Choy, London - 10th August 2010
This is the most beautiful house with 4 big
bedrooms, can easily accommodate 10 people. The
layout is simply spacious and welcoming, it leads you
to the swimming pool and the sun set view straight
from the front entrance. It's beautifully furnished
and well maintained.
Just about 1 minute walk to the beach. The other
side of peninsula is the yacht club. Major shopping
at Central with all different restaurants, department
stores and cinema, it's conveniently located in the
best quite place in Phuket next to the Chalong Bay.
It's perfect for a group of 5-10 and family, highly
recommended to anyone.

Mrs. Lisa van N - August 14th, 2010
Hi there, we rented this house
in Krabi for a month and it
was a great stay. We stayed
with our 3 year old daughter
who had her own bedroom. The
website is very accurate, this
is a luxury home with all you
wish for. The beds are very
good, kitchen, showers,
parking space, everything is
new and in great condition.
The owners are very helpfull
and respond to email quickly.
We rented a car and crossed
the area which is lovely, the
best in Thailand. The people
in the area are very friendly.
There is a small mosk on the
other side of the road, but it
doesn't wake you up because
the villa has double glass
windows. AO Nong and the beach
are close, just a 5 minute drive.

"Baan Sansuk"
We have during 2009 and 2010
rent the house Baan Sansuk in
Samran Gardens between January
and March.
We don’t think there is any
better place to stay.
Samran Gardens is a beautiful,
peaceful and quiet location.
Baan Sansuk is a marvellous
house, with nice furniture and
a lot of space.
Here you got everything you need.
Children, grandchildren and
friends have visited us and
they have all loved the house
and the location.
Apart from the marvelous house
there is a big pool and an
impressive garden with mango
and papaya trees, pineapples
and coconut trees.
The housekeeping service is
superb.
The manager Stuart and his
wife are always there to fix
all that you want.
In the location you also have
a gym which adds an extra comfort.
Once for sure, we will be back
in 2011.

Mrs. Susan Burke - July 28th, 2010
I have recently returned from 2
weeks at the baan sii villa. What
a beautiful place to stay, so
peaceful but close enough to the
hustle & bustle of Patong. We had
a group of 10 people using all 5
bedrooms. We loved everything
about this villa inluding the
villa staff who came & prepared
our breakfast every morning & then
came back after lunch to clean the
villa. The villa is on top of a
very steep hill which i only
walked up once - if you are young
& fit you will have no trouble but
i would rather pay 200bht for a
tuk tuk which took 6 people, about
$1 each. It was only about a 10
minute drive into Patong or a 15
minute walk down the hill to the
beach at Kamala. There are some
great reataurants in Kamala and a
few shops, a very nice local
village. I am writing this review
because when i was booking the
villa i could not find any
comments on it at all & was
getting a little worried that no
one had stayed here. I would
highly recommend this villa to a
group wanting a relaxing holiday
but still being fairly close to
everything. The only thing was
that there are only 3 bathrooms
(main with ensuite, queen with
ensuite & the other 3 bedrooms
share a bathroom). This was not a
problem for us as we were all
family. There is also an extra
toilet, washbasin room upstairs.
All in all we had a wonderful
holiday and would definately
return to the Baan Sii again.

Comments: Dear Stuart,
Baan Sansuk, Samran Gardens
Just a note to thank you and
Aa for making our stay at
Samran Gardens so enjoyable,
the Baan Sansuk villa was
superb and your
recommendations on restaurants
and local sightseeing just
added to making it one of the
most relaxing holidays we have
had. Also a real bonus was
having the Santi Buri Golf
Course just 10 minutes away, a
truly stunning and challenging
course. It was our first time
to Koh Samui but certainly not
our last !

Just a short note to say how
much we enjoyed our time at
the villa. We arrived 02-01-10
for ten days and all three
couples have had a great time.
The villa was brilliant with
loads of space and very clean.
Our thanks go out to you and
your Wife Aa for all your help
in arranging us to be
collected from the airport and
for your advice on which were
the best places to see and
eat. We loved our time on Koh
Samui it was certainly the
most relaxing holiday we have
ever had.

memorable holiday which we look
forward to repeating next year.
Mrs. Meghan Holloway - July 7th, 2010
Just returned from 2 glorious
weeks at Villa Maria.
Couldn't recommend it highly
enough! Having booked over
the internet, we were half
expecting to turn up to find
no villa!! However, this was
certainly not the case and the
pictures do not even do it
justice!! We have 8 adults
and 4 children in our group
and there was so much space we
didn't get under each others
feet! Dui and Na were amazing
and took care of us so well
that we dreaded going home to
have to take care of ourselves
again! They cooked, shopped,
washed, cleaned and tidied
every day, leaving us to relax
completely! As a Mum, what
more could I ask? Tracey, the
manager, was a wealth of
information and was ALWAYS
contactable for the smallest
query. It was so helpful
having an English manager to
help us overcome any language
difficulties we faced.
Overall, our holiday was
everything we could have
imagined and more and we
really hope to come back again
some day!! Thankyou thankyou
thankyou!

The place was like a resort to
yourself. Amazing tropical grounds
with even a small golf pitch from
the patio. My son fished in the
lagoon and caught one. At night we
had the private chef make a great
Thai meal that we will never
forget. Accomidations were superb.

I was so happy to stay at this
spacious and exotic Astasia Villa
when I was in Koh Samui last
month. I really appreciated all
the arrangement from you, it made
us had a wonderful and
unforgettable holiday. Firstly,
the minibus is very good for 8 of
us instead of a taxi. Secondly,
the local tour agent was very
helpful too. Finally, the BBQ
dinner was extremely nice. Looking
forward to seeing you again soon.

accomodating, we all had such a
wonderful time.
We were all so overwhelmed with
the services this villa provided
during our stay here. We couldn’t
have asked for anything more!
I have recommended the Villa to
all of my family and friends, and
I look forward to coming back
sometime in the near future.
So once again THANK YOU so much
for making our stay at Ban Kinaree

Mr. Peter KENNEDY - April 9th, 2010
My wife and I stayed at Baan
Wanora and had a fantastic time.
It is a luxurious property where
careful attention has been paid to
every detail. It is down a quiet
lane and so is tranquil and
serene. There is a full view of
the ocean and the quiet beach is
only a few feet away from the end
of the garden. It is a magical
location where you can lounge
around the pool and soak up the
sun. The bedrooms are individual
villas looking onto the pool. They
are lavishly decorated in Thai
style. The staff are cheerful,
attentive but unobtrusive. You
will be pampered like royalty! We
have stayed in many five-star
hotels around the world and this
place is better than any. It is
terrific value for money.
