Sandalwood is a beautiful resort with everything and anything you could ask for. The owner of sandalwood was very accommodating to all of our needs. The villas are perfectly appointed. The beds are extremely cozy and comfortable, and the view is spectacular. I highly recommend Sandalwood for your vacation in Thailand! I like to add that the breakfast at the restaurant were amazing and any meal we had there was delicious. Thank you, Robert and Amy for your hospitality.
This place is just amazing! Breathtaking views! Warm and friendly staff, they are accommodating and professional, always ready to help with a dedicated chat to answer your needs right away. The rooms were clean and all of the amenities were provided. The layout is spacious! It’s a great choice to stay here for a family vacation or a romantic getaway.
Sandalwood exceeded my expectations! The pictures online really don’t do this place justice. The resort is absolutely beautiful, and the views and overall atmosphere were even better in person.
I stayed in the Lily room, which was definitely my favorite compared to the rooms my friends had. It was unique, beautiful, and had so much character. Each room seemed to have its own personality, but I was especially happy with my choice.
The staff were wonderful throughout our entire stay. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They helped us arrange transportation and even took care of sending my laundry out for me, which was such a nice convenience. Their service really made the stay feel easy and stress-free.
The restaurant was another major highlight. The food was amazing! I ate several meals there during my stay and never had a complaint. Everything I ordered was delicious, and the convenience of having such a great restaurant right at the resort was a huge plus.
Before arriving, I was a little concerned about transportation because I had read several reviews mentioning that Grab drivers and taxis sometimes didn’t want to drive up the hill to the resort. Thankfully, this was never an issue for me. Every time I used a Grab or taxi, the driver had no problem taking me all the way up to Sandalwood.
Overall, I absolutely loved my stay. Between the beautiful property, unique rooms, incredible food, helpful staff, and stunning views, Sandalwood was even better than I expected. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Samui!
Should I write this review? Do I want others to know just how superb this place is, that the photos do NOT do justice to the views or accomodations, that the staff both in reception and cleaning and restaurant are the most efficient and friendly people we have been privileged to meet? SO NO. I AM NOT SHARING THIS WITH YOU!! We want it all to ourselves, but know that we cannot always be there…..so please, judge for yourselves, you will not be disappointed!. There is a very steep mountain, no close shops or other bars, they have a superb restaurant and bar, stunning views, and accomodations exactly as pictured. Do your research, don’t assume that it’s something it’s not, it doesn’t need to be, as what it is , is just bloody amazing. See it for yourself. Just make sure that you leave room for us to get back, because we can’t wait.
I'd give six stars if I could. Spectacular views; elegant, comfortable villas; and a splendid restaurant (Blue Ginger) conveniently on site. Stayed two nights with two other couples in the 3 Bedroom Ocean View Grand Pool Villa and always felt perfectly at ease with nary a moments' thought to elbow room. Made lasagna in the well-appointed kitchen and willed the leftovers to Robert, the resort's most gracious host. Proximate to all the best the island has to offer, and also had the best sleep I'd had in weeks. 12/10, off the charts.
