Guest Reviews
Comments and feedback from real guests who stayed at Villa Jasmine or Villa Malee.
Took very good care of us
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!

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.

Looked after us so well
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.

We look forward to coming again soon!
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!

The food was excellent as was the standard of accomodation
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.

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.

We were treated like royalty
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.

The food she had prepared is better than some restaurants!
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!

We booked out both Villas
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.

I am recommending the villa to all...
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.

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.

Cooking was out of this world
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.

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!

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.

Villa Malee was definitely one of our highlights
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.

It is a lovely villa and pool
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.

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.

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.
