Sandalwood is a more traditional, Thai style property with incredible views & wonderful staff. We stayed for 6 days & loved it. Our apartment was spacious & comfortable, immaculately clean & well equipped (the air conditioning also worked very well!) The restaurant on site was lovely - we only had breakfast which was very good but the setting is beautiful, so would recommend it for an evening meal. The highlight though - aside from the view - were the staff. Incredibly friendly & welcoming (speediest check in I’ve had in 4+ months travelling!) and very good at their jobs. They were very polite, present & attentive but gave us space. Communicating via WhatsApp to ask if/when we needed anything, rather than disturbing us. 10/10!

We stayed in the three bedroom pool villa, and everything was great. Fantastic spacious villa, with gorgeous baths, good sized kitchen, infinity pool, and outdoor seating areas. The food in the restaurant was pretty good and not too expensive too.

Fantastic View out to Sea and swimming pool to look at it from. Villa was clean and comfy and the on-site food was great. There was construction going on next door and without even asking, they gave us free breakfast for our entire stay to apologize. Would definitely recommend.

Great view, nice swimming pool, nice villa, nice bath tub. Staff is nice and reactive Access to the hotel is fine. 2 on the scooter, no problem. Road is steep but fine.

- staff is AMAZING! Very kind and helpful - beautiful views, just couldn't get enough of it - you can get a free taxi ride to Vikasa - best cafe we went to in Thailand. Ended up going every day! Delicious food.

We loved our stay at Sandalwood! Even though there were obviously other guests, the rooms are set up in a way where it feels very private and quiet so it felt like we were the only ones there. It’s also up on a very steep hill so feels secluded, more peaceful and private than the beachside resorts on the island, with the bonus of an amazing view. The hotel has a free transfer service to nearby beaches which was helpful but we ended up hiring a scooter which made it easier to get around ourselves. The staff are all very helpful and nice.

The villas are beautiful and the views are incredible. The beds were comfortable and the villa contained all the required amenities. We originally stayed in Jumpee, which had an incredible pool, but was underneath another villa. We then moved to Bougainvillea, which was high up, on top of another villa, and therefore a lot more quiet. We had dinner at the restaurant, Blue Ginger, a few times. Food was delicious. After the second time the staff knew our preferred table and our preferred drinks. A big thank you to Thi for making us feel special each time we visited! The reception staff are fantastic! They were able to meet our every request, efficiently and always with a big smile - especially Fah and Keeta (apologies if the spelling is incorrect). The hotel uses WhatsApp for you to contact them, e.g. to request a driver to take / collect you. This is extremely convenient.

Beautiful views & lovely spacious apt with a lovely pool - unfortunately , first few days weather did not cooperate but that cannot be helped . The staff are absolutely amazing - always there to help & nothing too much trouble whatsoever - every single one of them . Great reasonably priced restaurant with tasty food - nicely presented . As my husband had had a stroke & found the steps quite tricky the staff went out of their way to help him - even delivering our meals to our room . Mr Yod our driver superb too . We loved it here & are so grateful to all the staff for making our stay exceptional.

1. Privacy and views, specially if you are in the Malee villa. 2. Food at the Blue Ginger restaurant. Actually surprisingly good, quality, portions sizes, presentation, speed. We had dinner twice there in 2 days. 3. Room was spacious, good mattress, clean plunge pool.
