Comments and feedback from real guests who stayed at Villa Jasmine or Villa Malee.
We had such a brilliant time at Villa Jasmine
We got back safely after the long journey. Not too cold just loads of rain! We had such a brilliant time at Villa Jasmine and it was just what we wanted and needed.
My main concern was always for our little girls, but the house was so comfortable and homely that they felt at home straight way. My next concern was going on holiday with the in-laws but again it worked out so well and I think its because we were not on top of each which we would have been in a hotel!
May, Ghan and Baa did such a wonderful job looking after us and the worst thing about coming home has been having to think and cook again! And I`m having withdrawal symptoms from May`s cooking and Thai food.
Thanks again , we will be recommending your villa to all our friends.

The place was fantastic and the staff could not have been more helpful
Just got back after a great time in Thailand. Please accept both mine and Mick's thanks for making everything at the villa so wonderful. The place was fantastic and the staff could not have been more helpful. The children were safely kept away from the pool by some pot plants sourced by Khun Noi. The maids were really helpful and extremely discreet, and the food cooked up was delicious.
Once again, thank you for the time and effort shown in making our holiday so special. As for returning to Phuket, we intend to make this a regular event. So much so, that whilst in Villa Malee, we met up with some friends who were staying in Bang Thao and bought both families back to the villa. Despite them staying in 6/7 star luxury, they preferred Villa Malee for the location to Kata, Chalong & Patong, the maid service, and the overall package. We are going to meet up in a couple of weeks to discuss getting all four families renting both villas at the same time, at some point in 2010.

Very impressed with the Villa Malee
Just to say after returning from Thailand my family were very impressed with the Villa Malee. I myself found standards high with charming helpful Thai staff. My son Nicholas made several visits to oversee details of the pool etc, the pot plants were perfect especially with the small children using just the steps as access. Having visited Thailand many times I have always stayed in hotels but would recommend your Villa to friends.

Brilliant!
Thank you also from me – we had a great time; the villa is stunning, the staff were amazing and the food they prepared for us was delicious! I will definitely be back at some point and will pass your details to anyone I know wanting to hire a villa in Phuket.
I can also add that the villa was very clean, I loved the fact that you provided products in the bathrooms (such as the Pantene – a nice touch) and even though the staff were cleaning throughout the day, they were so discrete you never saw them but everything was miraculously great! Brilliant, brilliant!

Our stay was fantastic, thank you.
The villas were everything we were expecting and the girls did a wonderful job to make us comfortable (and well fed) each day. Praise all round from our entire group ( all eight of us) . Thank you for helping to make our stay in Phuket memorable. We would certainly be happy to recommend you to others planning a holiday in Phuket.

The service is top notch.
Just want to say “thank you” for your help on the Villa. We had a great time! The service is top notch. By far the best time I had in Phuket. I highly recommend to any travellers to stay in the villa vise a hotel. Hope to be there again next deployment.

Thank you so much, we all had a wonderful stay.
The villa catered for all our tastes but I think my daughter Ruby had the best time of all. She constantly wandered around the villa calling out to May who is her favourite person. The meals May cooked for us were superb! They were far superior to anything we got in the restaurants there, including Mom Tri's Boathouse. The villa was well set out for the little ones, and we felt secure to let Ruby run around, knowing she couldn't get into too much trouble. Thanks for everything, I have been raving about your place to all my workmates who seem keen to consider the villa for their next holidays. I hope to visit again in the not too distant future.

Villa Jasmine was pretty much perfect for us
To be honest with you, Villa Jasmine was pretty much perfect for us. The services provided by your staff were precisely our reason for choosing Villa Jasmine and what set your villa apart from others on our short list. I know that as a big group we may have been demanding and are very appreciative of their hard work especially with their needing to take care of, and impress their boss at the same time!!! We have yet to make our holiday plans for next year but I am sure that Phuket may well feature so we may take you up on your loyalty club discount.

Everything was perfect
My friends and I all enjoyed staying in Villa Jasmine and appreciated our stay. Everything was perfect and we really have no negative comments. Should we return to Phuket, we certainly would take your house again. I also would be happy to give your name to any friends deciding to go to that area.

We had a fantastic time at Villa Malee
May was friendly and discreet and as you said, an excellent cook. We ate only Thai food and May was able to meet the different needs of the family. (spicy-not too spicy.. you know with kids), but still letting them discover a new world in food.
Everything was clean and perfect and we were impressed by the high standard of construction and of design. If you are looking for suggestions for even more perfection, the only thing that crossed my mind was that I would have liked to have the choice to save some water by changing towels and linen only when I thought was needed. This is now done in most of the best hotels and it helps my conscience.
The children loved Thailand. We spent 3 nights in a remote resort on Phi-Phi island, in Balinese-style wooden bungalows which were very beautiful and comfortable but without any mod-con such as TV or any distractions powered by electricity. The bungalows were buried in the jungle yet by the sea, so snorkeling, looking at corals and chasing fish kept the children busy. We particularly enjoyed exploring the corals around Koh Phi Phi Lee and Bamboo Island, which are outstanding, even better than those seen around the Similan Island (so says my brother who went diving there).
We spent some time in Phang-Nga where we experienced the real Thailand away from mass tourism. We visited the underground cave underneath Elephant Mountain, a temple in another cave with lots of monkeys, went into the jungle and mingled with ordinary Thais. We ate sometimes in little local restaurants for under 400 Bhat for 5 and also in a fabulous establishment by the river popular with the local elite. Guests arriving in large SUVs are served in discreet booths in bamboo at the foot of a huge cliff, high on stills on the edge of the water with many beautiful exotic plants.

We have had a great holiday.
We enjoyed our stay in the villas. Kun May is fantastic. She did all she can to please everybody. And she is a very good cook. We hope that she can relax a little bit before the next guests arrive. We hope to come back next year. Thank you for a very nice holiday. I have just told the people I work with about the houses. They where very impressed. So maybe they will contact you.

This is the most beautiful holiday
Splendid Villa, reception and services exceptional, top-of-the-range services, calm absolute, serenity, let you rock by the reception, the kindness and competences of the staff, always with your listening and available permanently…..Big kisses to May and the staff.
You do not need to do anything, May is there to organize everything. The rooms are exceptional, the beds very soft and immense, the splendid bathrooms!! In a word, this is the most beautiful holiday that we could have abroad, thank you Brian for all that.
Concerning the meals in the villa, they were quite simply the best meals than we could find anywhere during our stay. May's cooking is exceptional, the experience is first class. You want to stay in Phuket? Do not hesitate, book Villa Malee!!!

It was a fantastic holiday
We enjoyed our stay at Villa Malee really very much. It was a fantastic holiday, the house was perfect for all 8 people and also the children enjoyed it very much. They had enough space for playing football – but sometimes they shot the ball into the neighbour's garden. But it was never a problem.
May is a wonderful person and an excellent cook. As many other guests have written, it was so comfortable staying for dinner in the Villa, so we only went out 3 times in the evening. Especially after a golf-day (and we played 8 times) we enjoyed staying in the villa. Also Donald and Tjoop of VIP Golf organised our golf-trips perfectly.
We would like to spend our next Christmas holidays again in Phuket. But this is not possible for the other family , so we have to book a hotel, because your Villa is too big for 3 people. But we will recommend your villas to all our friends and if we can find some friends to come with us, we will book your villa again.

The highlight of their trip
Grace and her friends loved the villa and told me it was the highlight of their trip. They gave excellent comments on your staff and said it was the best food they ate during their entire trip. If they wanted something, your staff went out and bought it immediately, and were quick to serve it. Your staff was also very quick to fix a leak in a sink or a toilet, I believe in the master bedroom.
