We arrived 4 hours before check in and they let us in our room. Outstanding after a 34 hour flight! The property is so beautiful and quiet and the smell.is amazing! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Always a taxi available if needed and great location for walking to Kata beach (10 min) or Karon beach (15min). Tons of shopping all around hotel and eating. The hotels spa was also a bonus. If you haven't booked a place in Phuket look.no further. You will not be disappointed!

The Baray Villa was amazing. The design and decoration was just incredible. The effort made to make everywhere smell amazing, lemon grass scent wafting with subtle music playing transported you far far away from the bustle outside the hotel. The pictures simply don't do the feeling of this hotel justice - it is genuinely amazing!

We loved the accommodations of being able to swim in our private area and go into the common area as desired. The staff were very accommodating, polite and service oriented. I would totally revisit again as we had an amazing time! We loved the aesthetics for the Thailand feel and was perfect for what we wanted in a vacation which was to celebrate my sons new marriage with him and his new wife. We thank all the staff for the wonderful hospitality they provided!

Hands down the best resort I have ever stayed in. The living quarters are unbelievably magnificent in that one gets the feeling they are in a palace. Having a jacuzzi within the unit that also leads to a stream alongside the resort is just spectacular. The decor throughout the resort is incredibly cultural and takes you back in time. If I can give an even higher rating, I would. Should I return, I would stay here without a doubt.

Beautiful resort that I regretted didn’t stay here from the beginning in Phuket. I booked pool access Villa. There is a swimming pool for Villa customers only which is clean and quiet. The other side’s swimming pool was good too. Night time lights up underneath the pool, looks lik milkway But don’t leave any food outside!!! My fault to leave an in finished corn on the night table n there were tons of ants on in morning!

With a few tweaks could be a 5 star
No doubt when this hotel was new it was phenomenal.The pool access room interiors are spectacular, although our room was starting to show signs of needing some TLC in places. The staff could be more friendly and a be a bit more attentive. Most of the time when we asked them questions, it felt like we were bothering them. The swim out of room pool was great, our daughter loved it, even if the water was a bit on the cool side. Unless you get to breakfast early, the dishes of food are often near empty, but in general the local dishes are tasty enough. The hotel seems to cater for mainly Chinese guests, or at least when we were there it did. Overall, it is a small piece of paradise nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of Kata, with lots of restaurants and spa massages nearby. The beach is a 10 minute walk and was decent enough. Word of warning, if you need to use the local taxis, once they know you are staying at Sawasdee, they hike the price of the fare up! All said and done, with some minor renovation and staff training, this hotel would deserve to be rated 5 star.

This was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. My expectations were high because of the beautiful photos, but it was so much better in person. There is a nice beach close by and lots of good restaurants. Honestly, we enjoyed the pool and hotel accommodations so much that we stayed at the pool a lot! The staff was friendly and the spa was one of the best!

This property is a little deceiving at first and easy to drive by without noticing it on a busy street due to its very small entrance. It all changes when you walk on in. the grounds and facilities are amazing and you could spend an entire day just walking through the gardens. Very well maintained and the pools are kept very clean. This property is right in the middle of all the action and a 10 second walk to multiple entertainment options.

The property is a utopia away from all the heat, stalls, hustling and people of this tourist mecca. The gardens of this resort are green,lush with lots of lighting and seating so that you can just sit and chill. The villas are luxurious splendor that you can relax in air conditioned comfort or head for a swim from your back deck or even from within your villa, up to the Villa's swim up bar. We loved it here so much that it was hard to drag yourself away to see the rest of Phuket.

This is an opulent Resort for people that enjoy intricate detail with attention to detail. You will feel like royalty staying here. The villa is large and set in a very beautiful village like resort. You will be wowed by the resort at night with the beautiful lights through the path ways and pool at the back of resort. The pool that runs of villa is beautiful with a water feature at one end and bar at other. We were fortunate to be at the water feature end which was next to our room. We woke to the sound of running water and looked down our mezzanine bedroom to the spa below which was in our living room. The dome bedroom ceiling was a magical feature to gaze before falling asleep in a massive King plus bed. Sleeps 3 comfortably. This resort is decadent.

We were greeted with a 2500 baht deposit we were not previously made aware of so that left a sour taste in our mouth upon arrival. We arrived early and were able to check in about an hour before we were supposed to which was nice. Room was incredible, but could have been cleaner. The couch had stains on them that looked like they were from naked time and small things like the back of the remote was missing, toilet upstairs too small for my husband, shower door wouldn’t stay shut, etc. Nothing to bother our stay, but for the price we paid our expectation was high. Breakfast was wonderful each day. Staff was very kind and always had a smile on their face. Very helpful with tips to get around and transport to islands. The pool was stunning and very well kept. We were in the villas. The main pool was enjoyable but not nearly as nice. Service was exceptional and our room was always made up. One incredible service point was in regards to when we were in Phi Phi. We left our brand new Nikon camera in our safe and were already on Phi Phi.. aka an hour taxi ride and an hour boat ride away. My husband spoke with the manager, Pe, at Baray Villas and she was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help us get our camera back. She knew someone who worked at a boat company and was able to securely pack our camera and send it with him to Phi Phi so we didn’t have to waste a day of vacation going to get it. Thank you so much Pe!
