Wonderful property in a great location

My family had a wonderful stay at this property - everything was absolutely perfect. As other reviews have stated, the pool and gardens and the lovely Khun Sa were all amazing. But what I probably liked the most was the fabulous location in a relatively quiet part of Phuket, only a few mins walk to the beach. Thanks to Fiona for being such a wonderfully thoughtful host.

Great Villa

As everyone says what makes staying here is Sa. She takes care of your every need from cooking fabulous meals, helping with transportation, reservations, and keeping the villa clean. Our teens loved just hanging out at the pool. It’s like having a private resort. It’s a fairly easy walk to Surun Beach but not walkable to the sandy part of Bang Tao. The owner responds to questions quickly.

Dream Villa Phuket

The villa was spacious and stylish. The best part was Khun Sa, the villa's caretaker who cooked, cleaned, shopped, navigated, and everything else we asked for. I look forward to staying there again. 5 Stars!

Oasis of peace. Za is the hit, 5 star. What they are doing with Phuket in general is bad( everywhere construction, it seems that every green spot is being build on ) but here you have a spot where you can relax. Thanks so much for all.

We had the most amazing holiday thank you Kuhn Sa for everything! A great cook, always smiling and helpful could wish for nothing more. The villa is beautiful in a great position. The support from the owner was much appreciated ( we had a little health hiccup) Hopefully you will see us again😄🙏🏽

Wonderful !

We loved this property so much we didnt want to leave, and want to come back again asap. It, and the housekeeper Sa, are wonderful and it was perfect for us. Ok, a small walk to get to town but really very easy and taxis are readily available. Can't recommend highly enough.

We went for the villa but got so much more

First timers in thailand. We had no clue how to navigate our trip even with all of our preparation. It was intimidating. Khun Sa to the rescue!! She took such good care of us everything from setting up a ride to 7 eleven, booking tours, cooking the most amazing meals, or just making us laugh. The villa is beautiful, Khun Sa is perfect!

Best Trip Ever

We had such an amazing time at the Villa. Really, Sa, the housekeeper is what made our trip so fabulous. From helping us book excursions, taxis, and ordering groceries. She also helped us book in Villa massages and made some amazing meals for us while we were there. The pool was awesome and having Sa there made us feel like celebrities. This was my families first international trip, and it was amazing. Please stay here and I promise you will have the best vacation. You won’t get a stay or a Sa at any hotel like you get at the villa.

Very nice villa

Its a great villa! 15 minute walk to Surin Beach which is very nice. The pool is great, the rooms are very comfortable, and we were pleased with the experience. The location is about 30 minutes from Patong Beach, which is probably a good thing (not impressed, but you probably need to see it once) and a few more minutes to Kata beach which was great. The star of the show is Sa, who serves as the housekeeper, chef (if you want) launderer, tour guide, taxi scheduler and all around wonderful lady! If you rent this villa, be sure to let her help you. Fiona was also wonderful in booking the villa and preparing for our stay.

Lovely villa, ideal for groups.

Really liked the villa. It was kept well and had everything we needed. The pool was lovely and warm. The lady who cleaned was lovely. Very friendly and helpful. The middle bedroom would benefit from having a safe and full length mirror as compared to the other two rooms this one did feel less well equipped. It was hard to find the villa with many taxi drivers needing to ask directions. This lead us to think that we were much further out than we actually were and as a result we spent a lot of money relying on taxis to get to the town and beach when in fact it is completely within walking distance.i think that could have been made clearer as we also found the taxis can charge anything they want. Overall really good week at the villa. Some good places to eat and lovely beaches nearby and the little Sawsadee restaurant around the corner was our best find.

Definitely au revoir

I hesitate to give The Lanterns a glowing review - because it'll mean it's fully booked next time we want to come! Firstly the property - sumptuous. There a sense of space and tranquillity, it really is as nice as the photographs suggest. We had a few BBQ's with friends over and it's a lovely place to spend time. Secondly the location – ideal. Peaceful whilst close to lovely beaches where cheap food and sunbeds are readily available. If you don't want to walk, then it's only 100Baht in a TukTuk -you are on holiday after all. Then at night, you can relax in the villa, one of the many low-key bars and restaurants or put on some glam rags and splash out on a night in one of the up market venues (eg. Palm Seaside). Then there's the whole Laguna area with a wonderful Golf course (quite a lot of water!) and Fri night market. Finally Khun Sa - if this lovely lady could do more to make your holiday any better, I've yet to think if it.

Magnificent stay in Surin Beach

Dear Fiona and Sa, I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful stay we had in Phuket, Thailand. Our hostess, Sa, was simply impeccable and made our stay truly unforgettable. Sa's meals were authentic and wholesome, and she catered to our vegetarian guests with ease. She made breakfast, lunch, and dinner when needed, and her cooking was simply delicious. Sa also went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, including washing our clothes, making arrangements for tours and transportation, and even arranging for massages, manicures, and pedicures at the Villa. The property itself was beautiful, with clean pools and first-class rooms and bathrooms. Sa made sure everything was spotless and comfortable for us. She even arranged for Ram who is the tailor to come to the Villa and fit us all for clothes, making our stay that much more special. Overall, our holiday was everything we could have hoped for, and we have Sa to thank for that. Her customer service was outstanding, and it truly felt like we were at home. We have nothing to complain about and would highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious vacation. Thank you again for everything. Andrea and Michael

Fabulous villa holiday in beautiful Phuket

Wow! What an incredible 9 days in this wonderful villa, within walking distance to both Surin & BangTao beaches.Everything about the villa, the organisation, the rooms, the communication from our host and the wonderful housekeeping service was designed to make this the best family holiday we’ve been on.Khun Sa the housekeeper is an absolute gem who made the stay so relaxing and perfect. She was incredibly helpful without being intrusive and her home cooked Thai meals (we booked her for dinner at the villa twice during our stay) and beautifully prepared breakfasts were the best meals we had during our 2 week trip to Thailand.I couldn’t recommend this villa enough!Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!

Urlaub im Paradies

Wir waren eine Woche in der Villa und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Die Unterkunft ist wirklich ein Traum, wunderschöner tropischer Garten mit sehr schönem großen Pool. Die Haushälterin Sa ist super lieb und hilfsbereit, hat immer auch sehr gute Tipps was essen, Ausflüge etc. angeht und kümmert sich prima um die Gäste und sämtliche organisatorische Sachen. Eine sehr herzliche Person! In unmittelbarer Nähe sind zahlreiche Restaurants, Supermärkte und BangTao sowie der Surin Beach.

Fabulous

The Lanterns villa located on the west coast of Phuket has recieved many positive reviews before, deservedly so. What really makes this property standout from all the rest is the wonderful housekeeper Khun-Sa. It's been stated many times before but she just makes the stay all the more special and we can't thank her enough. Not much more I can add to this review other than to say that if you've booked (or are about to book) have a fabulous time, we certainly did.

Paradise Found

I write this review with a selfish reluctance that it will make this dream property even more difficult to book in the future, yet with a string sense of obligation to the owners and host!The property is everything it promises to be and more! Pictures do not do it justice. It is immaculately maintained in like new condition as are all of the furniture and fittings. It is well stocked with towels and all necessary toiletries and amenities. Communication with the owner is exemplary and any issues are handled immediately to complete satisfaction.That said there is one thing that must not be neglected in this review. The property itself is not even close to being the star of the show! Houskeeper, Chef, Tour Guide, Shopper, and Butler Sa is a joyful spirit, with a can-do attitude who anticipates needs before they exist! In 45 years of 5 Star worldwide travel my family and I have never encountered such a TREASURE! Sa is a loving heart, with a radiant smile, who finds great joy in pleasing. She made our entire stay relaxing, stress free, and kept us organized, on schedule, and very well fed!!We can't wait to return....

We stayed at this villa for a week, and it was absolutely fabulous. Khun sa who is the housekeeper is absolutely AMAZING. She was able to help get a scooter set up as well as many excursions and adventures during our stay. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect. House manager Sa is an angel, who could not possibly have done any more from booking many events to organising in-house massages for our family. The property is exactly as advertised, peaceful, spacious and lovely. Only thing is a 15 min walk to the beach.
