The villa was great, the food and service was excellent. We had a fantastic time. (Jan 2009, Nick Kearsley: UK)

The stay was fantastic. The villa was again a comfortable retreat which was especially beneficial this year as I try to recoup from open heart surgery. May and her crew took very good care of us. This included coordinating our travel, internet usage, laundry and of course the wonderful meals that they prepared. I want to and will visit again without hesitation. As this is our last 7 months in China we will have to take the trip from the USA next time which may be quite costly and time consuming. I guess we will have to stay two or three weeks to make it worth while! (Dec 2008, Van McLaughlin: China)

Our holiday was very nice and everyone enjoyed in Villa Jasmine. Please, let May and her team know that we were very satisfied. (Dec 2008, Kristiina: Finland)

Khun May and her team looked after us so well and her cooking was every bit as good as you had told us. And, somehow, she always managed to sense when we had finished a meal or that we had vacated our rooms and they were ready for cleaning, without being told. (Dec 2008, Richard Fairhurst: UK)

Villa Jasmine was great and May was fantastic as you said. They could not have done any more to make us comfortable, we had a great holiday thank you. (Dec 2008, Laurence Ireland: UK)

In a word, our stay at Villa Malee was outstanding – the family enjoyed the villa and facilities enormously. I must make special mention of May and her team of ladies separately as their standard of service and attention to detail was of the highest order, in particular the evening meals, which were beyond our every expectation, absolutely fabulous.

The travel plans for the family were disrupted in a minor way due to the problems in Bangkok, with our eldest daughter and her boyfriend having to stay in Phuket for an extra two days and catch a different flight out to a different destination order to get home. They were not too disappointed about the extra stay – in fact the rest of us were a little envious.

We all found Phuket to be a fascinating place, and did our best to do and see as much as possible whilst there – bungee jumping, elephant rides, cobra show, Fantasea, Thai boxing, lots of beach time and of course the shopping experiences will be remembered for a long time. Thankyou for a fantastic holiday, and please pass our further thanks to May and her team for an outstanding effort in looking after us. We have already begun to sing the praises to others and hand around your business cards. (Dec 2008, The Kilmaster family: Alberta, Canada)

We had a brilliant time at the Villa Jasmine, and we all had a good journey back home. If we are coming down to race again in Kata, we would definitely use you again and recommend friends and family. (Dec 2008, Michael White: UK)

Sorry for not replying earlier. We enjoyed our stay in Villa Jasmine very much. Thank you and tell thanks to May also. We flew Phuket-Munchen-Helsinki, and everything went smoothly. (Dec 2008, Sampo Verkasalo: Finland)

It was fantastic once again - May is a real gem - Is it too soon to book for July/August 2010? Unfortunately we are unable to come in 2009 , but definitely wish to stay again in 2010. (August 08, Greg Young: Australia)

I Admire your deep Concern towards your Business. The whole Family Enjoyed their Trip as well as the Villas, the food, and May and Her Assistants, both of them were very Polite and very Nice . I have already passed your name and the Villas information to a lot of my Friends who will get in touch with you hopefully soon. Many thanks and Best Regards. (September 08 - Mohammed A. Al Ammari, Saudi Arabia)

I have been trying to come up with some constructive suggestions, but I'm afraid I can't think of much. Your staff, especially May, were wonderful. The villa 'book' has lots of useful information about the running of the house, and there are lots of useful pamphlets left from previous guests. Many thanks for your assistance, and we look forward to coming again soon! (October 08 - Dr. James Griffiths: Australia)

The holiday was great and we throughly enjoyed the villa and the hospitality extended to us. We found it very diificult to fault the villa and Khun May and her team. (August 08 - Philip Lau: Hong Kong)

We had an excellent stay at the Villa Malee, the whole family enjoyed the Villa and Khun May and Baa's hospitality, even Moo the driver who made us feel like royalty, when he chauffeured us around Phuket. We are seriously thinking of renting Villa Malee again sometime. Thank-you very much for your very detailed arrangements, such as preparing our dinner the first night when we arrived.
(July 08 - See Fawn Lau: Hong Kong)

Our group of 4 hired the villa for a week at the end of a trip to Beijing and Hong Kong so a welcoming, relaxing retreat was what we were looking for and that is exactly what was delivered. Sadly the weather was incredibly bad throughout the duration of the trip but that is in the lap of the Gods. The staff could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble, the food was excellent as was the standard of accomodation. I would strongly recommend this villa to anybody contemplating its hire. Thank you to Brian and his staff for providing such a beautiful property to my friends and I. (July 08 - Emma Robinson: UK)

Well, what a lovely touch of paradise you have there in Phuket!!!!!!!!! And what lovely, lovely staff. Where on earth did you find such gems?? From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. It is a credit to you and your staff. Boy I'd like to sell my house and move to Phuket myself. Can I ask will you ever move there or are the villas investments? We have been to Phuket 4 times over the past 15 years and always stayed in hotels. No more.. Khun May cooked up fabulous meals and canoeing was organised with no problems whatsoever. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. I will be recommending to anyone who travels to Phuket to stay at your villa. Thanks once again for everything running so smoothly and nothing left to chance. (July 08 - Cathy Booth: Australia)

My group and I had a great time in the Villa. May was excellent. I had planned to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my girlfriend and May took care of things and it was a wonderful night. She booked all our cab service and the Boathouse restaurant. And the food she had prepared is better than some restaurants! (June 08 - Jeetesh Patel: UK)

We booked out both Villas and celebrated two birthdays during our stay. We also had guests coming from as far a field as the UK, Western Australia and Hong Kong, all arriving at different times. We thought the logistics for arranging this would be a monumental task but the team in Kata handled it perfectly. They were patient, polite and as attentive as you could hope for. And as everyone says, the food truly is fantastic. Don't bother going out. Trust me on this one. You have a fantastic pair of properties. We ended up with an adult pool and a kids pool, with aunts and uncles press-ganged into entertaining nieces whilst the parents relaxed over a couple of cold Singha. We ate all together in Jasmine every night with a couple of old collapsible tables added on either end for lunch and dinner. I have a couple of awesome photos I should send over - seated dining, family style, for 16 people. Brilliant. The trips to the beach were also fun. Tuk-tuks were easy to get back. (May 08 - Tom Mutch: Hong Kong)

We had a lovely time at Villa Jasmine. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere very relaxing. Thanks for everything. (May 08 - Melanie Robson: Australia)

Thanks! All of us had a great time in Phuket, especially my kids. Villa Malee was nice and cosy, and services provided by Khun May and gang was pleasant and cordial. (Tan Meng Seng - May 08: Malaysia)

We really did enjoy our stay at Villa Jasmine and felt that the Villa was very suitable for a group like ours. ( 6 adults and 5 children , 3 of whom were under 2 years old)

We particularly enjoyed the meals and thank May for going to the extra effort of preparing and serving separate dinners for our children - which allowed the adults to indulge in a (semi-peaceful), yummy Thai dinner a bit later on. This was an unexpected bonus! I also was particularly impressed with May and Ghan’s cleaning ability. Things were always clean and tidy (which is a mean feat when you have 5 children and six lazy holiday makers in a house!) Thanks again to you, Ghan and May (and all those behind the scenes) for all your did to make our stay at Villa Jasmine memorable. We have been (and will continue to) tell others about our stay. (April 08 - Claire George: Australia)

What a fantastic holiday had by all...the villa was absolutely fantastic... May and Baa was even more fantastic. This was probably the most relaxing holiday we have ever had, we could not have wanted more. May and Baa were so lovely, they work so hard you would never know that they had another family to look after in the other villa. The food they cooked was the best Thai food we have ever had, every night was a gastronomic experience, and the children's food was lovely too. We are Thailand sick this week and feeling very sad we should have stayed longer. We will definitely be back, sooner rather than later. It was so great not having to make any decisions other than what we were doing that day, and what we were eating! Just what a holiday should be like. What more can I say. I am recommending the villa to all our clients and friends, but they had better not want it next Easter as that is when we wish to come again! Thank you for making the villa and all the extras so special. (April 08 - Dianne Pickard: UK)

Once again thanks for the "loan" of your house and staff. May is an absolute treasure, she also said we were "easy" guests, I hope so. Her cooking was out of this world we were all surprised at how often we ate at the house. (March 08 - Simon and Family: Perth, Australia)

We had a great vacation in Villa Malee. The villa is very nice, staff are wonderful, please send our best wishes to them. We will recommend Villa Malee to our friends. (March 08 - Raili Jaatinen: Finland)

We had a great time at Villa Jasmine. Khun May and her team were great. Khun May is such a good cook we didn't go out to eat once! The villa itself was very comfortable and relaxing. We hope to come back again! (March 08 - Donna Chang: Hong Kong)

Our stay at Villa Jasmine was wonderful. Your villa is beautiful and May was a gem - nothing was too much trouble for her and our stay was so relaxing after the hectic pace of Bangkok. We have already told all our friends and put details of the villa on the hospital (our workplace) notice board. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. I'm sure we will be back! (March 08 - Julie Marley: Coventry, UK)

The Villa was superb and met all expectations. Given the fact that we've been fortunate to travel widely and stay at some fantastic places this is praise indeed. The food, in particular, was memorable and both your staff were helpful, professional yet unobtrusive. Our daughter had a wonderful time and this was the main purpose of the holiday. If we get the opportunity we would certainly book again. (March 08 - Paul Coope: Kowloon, China)

We had a very enjoyable stay at Villa Jasmine. It is a lovely villa and pool. Whatever we asked May for she always replied "yes" with a smile. May and her assistant prepared and cooked us some great meals, kept the villa nice and clean at all times and kindly arranged our transport on request. (February 2008 - Mr & Mrs Pulsakowski: England)

We had a great time in the beautiful house and with your great service it was really a good holiday. We had lovely weather and the kids had a good time at the beach and the pool. the diners were a feast. (February 08 - Mirjam Boom: Norway)

We have just stayed in Villa Jasmine and had a fantastic two week holiday thank you, we all loved it and hope to return one day, the food and staff were amazing!! (February 08 - C. Ruane: Thailand)

We had a wonderful time in your villa. Your staff, especially May, were superb and answered all our requests quickly and efficiently. The food was top notch and on the Friday she cooked lobsters for us which my wife said were so good. Thanks again for your help. (February 08 - Mr.and Mrs. E. N.: Yorkshire, UK)

We have just arrived back home - Villa Malee was definitely one of our highlights of our 1 month away. May and the rest of your staff did a mavellous job of making us welcome and May's cooking was every bit as good as you claimed. (February 08 - Adrian Muir: New Zealand)

We had a great time thank you. You are truly very lucky to have such wonderful staff in May and Baa. They were always very helpful, friendly, and professional – arranging taxis, days out, great food – nothing was too much trouble for them - always on hand and available yet never intrusive. Villa Malee was just as described (which is a rarity these days) and was a great base for us to go and explore from without the formality of a hotel. (January 08 - Francis Cradock: UK)

It exceeded our highest expectations! Khun May is a pearl and she really does never use the word "no"! Villa Jasmine worked perfectly for a three generation party. We enjoyed Khun May's Thai cooking nearly every evening but preferred to have our lunches at the beach (Kata Beach, Kata Noi Beach and The Phuket Yacht Club beach). She really spoiled us in every respect and you may rest assured that she fulfilled all our wishes with a smile! This was our first trip to Phuket but definitely not the last one. We have already started to spread the word about your houses among our friends. (January 08 - Margareta and David: Sweden)

The Villa stay was outstanding! May and the crew totally spoiled us. I came out the hero for grabbing this opportunity. The only downside was that we had to leave and move to a normal hotel. My family is calling it vacation #1 and vacation #2. If I have any influence we will come back to Villa Jasmine again. Thanks for all your help and personal attention! (December 07 - Van McLaughlin: Shanghai, China)

Thank you for a wonderful time at your Villa, we would very much like to come back soon. (December 07 - Eugen Nygaard: Norway)

The food experience was the ultimate dining pleasure. May is a fantastic chef and we still miss her wonderful dishes. Both girls were extremely professional and sweet. The establishment was clean, beautiful and enjoyable. However, the highlight was May's cooking. Her dishes were superb, and we enjoyed every morsel (and wish she could come home with us). You have a gem in May. (December 07 - Greg and Lynne Anzelc: California, USA)

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Villa Jasmine . It was just what we were looking for. The house and pool were beautiful. Khun May and staff were so efficient that we hardly noticed their presence, but at the same time everything was tidied up. It was so nice not to have to worry about where to eat, etc. Instead, while we had our before dinner cocktails, we enjoyed the smells from the kitchen and then just sat down to eat. Then quickly and quietly, everything was cleaned up again. (December 07 - Bill and Elaine Woodland: Washington, USA)

We had the most wonderful time at Villa Jasmine, it was exactly what we were looking for. It was so relaxing. Wonderful surroundings. Great food and May and the team looked after us extremely well. We couldn't have asked for more.... We thoroughly enjoyed the Honeymoon Special. (October 07 - Miles and Gaynor Macfarlane: Australia)

>>Click here to read about our Honeymoon Special<<

Everyone had a great time staying at the Villa - a very enjoyable holiday. The 'family friendly' aspect of the Villa was great as we had 4 kids under 10yrs old - no issues at all with safety and security. Khun May is an absolute superstar and made sure everything ran very smoothly. She did everything possible to make sure that our stay was as hassle free as possible, and her cooking skills are quite outstanding. We all agreed that, apart from the Boathouse, the food prepared by Khun May and the team was the best we experienced for the entire week. (October 07 - David Phillips: Singapore)

We all had a great time at the Villa Malee. May and Baa were really fantastic. They made us feel so welcome. Really enjoyed their cooking and May's specials were superb! We cannot think of anything to improve at Villa Malee. Will certainly recommend this villa to our friends and we hope to return again. (October 07 - Marion Mcgill: Utah, USA)

Right from your arrival you are made to feel welcome by the warm greeting from the staff. The food is 5 Star and there is no need to have dinner anywhere else. The flexibility and assistance of the staff in particular May made this a very relaxing vacation. Without a doubt the best family vacation in years. (October 07 - Adrian Sacco: Guangzhou, China)

We had a great holiday it was lovely to return after a year and be able to relax and fit right back into it. The kids couldn't believe that May and Baa remembered them from last year, they were so happy. It was lovely to have the added bonus of TVs in every bedroom, real luxury!!! Paul enjoyed the cooking lessons with May and picked up some good tips to use in his curries at our restaurant, he enjoyed the fruit carving and did a good job but not quite as good as May, she is brilliant. Fantastic holiday. (September 07 - Lisa Tebbutt: Australia)

I consider myself a world traveler, and I was very, very pleased overall with the Villa. The pool and view were a large draw for us. Kuhn May was always there at the right time to serve up something special or take care of transportation. We opted to stay at the Villa for the majority of two out of three days. The weather was stunning. Imagine that during the rainy season. We had a great boat outing to the Koh Phi Phis. Kata was a great beautiful beach. (September 07 - John Madsen: Hong Kong)

Thank you, home safe and had a very relaxing time even if too short. Your Villa is very comfortable and I can't think of anything to improve it at all. The girls were great, fantastic cooks and so very friendly and helpful. I hope we didn't over impose on them. Many thanks. (July 07 - David Nicholson: Dubai, UAE)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Jasmine, what a beautiful part of the world! Our journey to Phuket had been so stressful but as soon as we arrived May and the staff made us feel right at home and we settled into Kata Beach life instantly. I cannot say enough wonderful things about May and the girls, they truly are a fabulous asset to you. I did not have to lift a finger, and May was always there for us when we needed her, and the kids just adored her and Baa. So much so, that my youngest, Charlotte, thought that Baa was coming home with us! (wishful thinking!). All in all an absolutely fabulous, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable stay! Speaking of which, we would like to come back again in 2008! (July 07 - Anne-Louise Hayden: Sydney, Australia)

WOW!!! What a fantastic holiday we had in Villa Malee...we could have quite easily never left the house for the whole 7 days!! Khun May is without a doubt THE BEST Thai cook in the whole of Phuket. We went out to dinner a couple of times (even to the highly recommended restaurants) and, although they were lovely, the food was never as good as our “home cooked” meals. All the staff, went out of their way to make our stay one to remember. They were friendly and attentive without being at all intrusive. My friends all commented that Villa Malee was one the best accommodations they’ve stayed in, particularly for a group. Most of these ladies have travelled extensively throughout the world so that is a great compliment. I’m so glad we found and booked Villa Malee and I’m quite sure you will hear from some, if not all of us again! (May 07 - Lisa: Australia)

We had a fantastic time at the villa, we loved the pool and saw some beautfiul sunsets. There was plenty of space for our two families and the villa had everything we could need. May and her team were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful, plus May's cooking was sublime. To have the independence of a villa combined with the luxury of being looked after, made for a heavenly holiday. (May 07 - Fi Murray: England)

We arrived safely home about midday after a wonderful stay at Villa Malee. As advised, May and Baa are absolutely delightful and a pleasure to be around. They are efficient without being obviously "present" for those of us unused to house staff. The house is gorgeous and totally suited all of us. We all had a wonderful relaxing holiday helped greatly by May and Baa. (March 07 - Pamela & Bruce Tustin: Sydney, Australia)

We had a fantastic time in Thailand. Your villa was the perfect base for our family to get to the pier and the beach. The staff was everything and more than anyone could expect. You are fortunate to have them. It was great to put a face to your name, and we would certainly stay again and hope to in the not too distant future. (March 07 - Vicki: Canada)

Just back this afternoon. We spent a wonderful 2 weeks in Villa Jasmine - thank you for making the arrangements to ensure a great holiday. Khun May and staff attended to our every wish and we were spoiled with delicious meals prepared for us. This has been a very important trip for all the family. Thanking you again. (January 07 - Anne Fraser: Scotland)

We had a wonderful time at Villa Malee. Your house is beautiful and very well equipped . May, Baa and Moo are outstanding. You are very fortunate to have them as well as Khun Noi as your manager. (January 07 - Ron Butler: Australia)

Thank you for letting us rent your villa. We all had a fantastic time over the 6 days. May is a brilliant housekeeper and cook and the other staff are great as well. We will definitely return if coming back to Phuket which we hope to do. (November 06 - Joanna Katory: Singapore)

On behalf of all nine of us, I wish to thank you and your wonderful staff for such an excellent holiday. We loved every minute of our time in Phuket relaxing with the massages, exploring islands and forests, swimming in the pool, and devouring Khun May's delicious meals. None of us wanted to leave your little piece of paradise and truly hope we can arrange another escape back to Villa Jasmine. We will recommend your villa to our friends. (October 06 - Keri Pennebaker: Japan)

We still think about Villa Jasmine with fond memories every day - please send our regards to May and the others, they were fantastic. (September 06 - Greg Young: Melbourne, Australia)

What can I say, it was without question one of the best holidays we've been on (and we've been on quite a few!). It was absolutely brilliant! It was perfectly chilled and stress-free. Just what we needed. We have no complaints or suggestions to make it better - we just had such a great time that we didn't want to come back. (August 06 - Sandra)

We had a fantastic time, the vila is gorgeous and May and the girls were absolutely brilliant, you're definitely onto a winner there with them. May's cooking was magnificent. I can't think of anything to suggest to improve it, it all worked so smoothly. Thank you for having us. (May 06 - Narelle: Singapore)

We had a fantastic holiday . The Villa and May and team exceeded our expectations! She is a credit to you and we would love to go back. Rooms are all excellent and great pool and other facilities .Everything was splendid! It is a five star experience. (April 06 - Rob Cox: London: UK)

The Villa was superb as was May and her team. Some of the best Thai food I have eaten in 24 years in Asia. I have forwarded details of the villas throughout my company and to my friends. I am confident you will get bookings from them in due course. Certainly my family and our friends the Berlin’s will visit again. (March 06 - James Lisle: Macau and Hong Kong )

My family and I had a wonderful holiday in the Villa Jasmine together with the Lisles. Fantastic service and cooking by May and her team. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends. (March 06 - Martin Berlin: Macau)

Just a quick note to let you know the holiday was a great success. You have an absolutely fantastic villa there and the girls were great. Thanks for all your help in the organizing Brian and I will hopefully speak to you again soon with regards to my next trip. Many thanks. (January 06 - James Pelham)
