The photo's on the website does not do any justice for how incredible this Villa actually is. The attention to detail, the smell and aroma, the view, the features are all on a different level. We stayed in Thailand for 5 days and despite having plans to site see and do various tourist activities, my husband and I found ourselves not wanting to leave the villa. The villa comes equipped with 3 full time staff who are wonderful and so attentive. We would be in the pool and drinking coconuts would magically appear. They were attentive yet not invasive. The full time chef will cook whatever you desire at whatever time. Overall the experience and stay was incredible. You need to visit to really comprehend how beautiful the property really is.

Samran Gardens looked great when we booked on the website and when we arrived it really did exceeded out expectations so the website tag line is very fitting. In fact the excellent service began before we arrived with some very useful advice and guidance on travel arrangements and car hire, all of which was taken care of by the staff at Samran Gardens. Once we arrived we were treated to a very warm welcome and a tour of the home in which we would be staying... and it really was a home, not just a 'holiday rental property'. It is a bit of a cliche, but it really was a home away from home for my wife and I, my parents and our little baby daughter. It had everything we could ask for and more and really made our stay on Samui a really wonderful and relaxing holiday. For value, service and comfort, we could not wish for any more and so definitely a well deserved 10 out of ten. For location and dining options we gave a 9 out of 10, only because it is a few km from the main road, though with a hire car this was no real problem. I highly recommend Samran Gardens and we are looking forward to staying again soon. Thanks to all of the Staff at Samran Gardens and also to the owners for sharing their beautiful home with us. I am sure we will be seeing you again some time soon. Alec and family, Nongkai

This was the best holiday we have had as a family in many a year. Staying in a villa gives us as a family so much more freedom to do what we want that you can't get in a hotel. The private pool was used at both the start and end of the day and frequently in-between as well. We never actually used the kitchen area of the villa to cook as it was so easy (and cheap) to eat out for both lunch and dinner. That said the property offered everything needed by a family - even down to books to read! The Samran Garden site is lovely, peaceful and with the office meets all the needs a holidaying family could ask for.As a holiday location, Koh Samui takes some beating - it provides an excellent balance for those who want to laze on gorgeous beaches (my teenage daughter), for those that love the bustle and banter in street markets (my wife) as well as providing physical activities for those who need to burn off lots of energy (my teenage son). The boat trips out are highly recommended especially the private charter for a day of a catamaran (with crew who knew what they were doing!).The biggest unexpected bonus of the holiday were the people at Samran Gardens. Stuart and Aa were always around to offer advise and help. However it was Ray who, in the space of a fortnight, moved from stranger to friend to all four of us. We have already recommended Samran Gardens to a number of friends and familyas an excellent location for a memorable holiday

We booked some time in advance for our sons wedding on the island. The private owners of the Samran Gardens Villas have no problem letting these amazing properties to discerning travellers. Their website understates the facilites of the spacious "large houses" which offer everything a family could wish for. Rental vehicle is recommended but the owner's "office reception" are most helpful with tourist and transport requirements. Thank you Ray and team for all your help in the logistics for our family wedding which was spread around the island over a number of days!
