9/10Baan Samlarn is definitely a world class vacation getaway. It’s everything the website promises...once you’re inside the resort compound. The immediate surroundings on the approach to the villas, are quite decrepit and a sight for sore eyes. The miseries of the outsider world however, soon fade away, the moment we’re greeted at the front door by the lovely and welcoming staff. Baan Samlarn, the villa is simply stunning. Every room is beautifully furnished and appointed. Each is uniquely well positioned for a fabulous view of the exterior. The overall setting is thoroughly conducive for guests to let go of all worldly worries and just relax. Aside from the incessant rainfall, we chose to stay in to take full advantage of the amenities and the services that come with the villa. The staff is without a doubt, exceptional. We were all made to feel very welcomed and special the whole time we were there. Kuhn Fon, the property manager, was amazing. She made sure we were treated royally, yet never felt encroached upon. Then there’s the chef. He’s truly an amazing talent, to put it mildly. When it comes to foods, we’re quite hard to please, as we consider ourselves to be well-travelled and some in our group are quite accomplished chefs in their own right. We were all blown away at the level of culinary skills our young chef possesses. Every meal was masterfully prepared, as he effortlessly surprised us with everything from western dishes, to traditional and classical Thai to Italian pasta. Every dish was on point and delicious. We’re beyond impressed. The rest of the staff are equally wonderful. They put fine hotel services to shame. Needless to say, we love Baan Samlarn, and do plan to return again. We’ve already began singing the praises and spreading the word about the villa to all our friends. If there’s one thing that we wish to be improved upon, is that the owner would invest in and install an effective units of mosquito repellents. They do exist.
10/10We (7 adults and 3 children under 2) stayed at Baan Samlarn over Easter and i don't usually bother to write reviews but we had such a fantastic time if felt i should do so this time. The villa is lovely. Very nicely decorated and the layout inside and out provides for lots of space even with plenty of other people about so you never feel on top of one another and also has direct beach access facing west for those awesome sunsets. As mentioned in the write up it is close to the ferry pier which we were worried about at first but actually it became part of the scenery as it causes practically no disturbance. What really makes me want to write this is the service we received during our stay. The villa manager, Pon looked after us very well, pandering to every request we had (and we had plenty with 3 babies) including going out for nappies and organising trips, transport, restaurant reservations etc. The other staff were discreet and helpful and made everything seem seamless. The chef was incredible, we did not have better food anywhere else on Samui and actually decided to eat in more than we first planned as it was so good and also amazingly good value. I should also add that Jun at Luxury Villas & Homes Co Ltd who we booked through was great to deal with over many weeks as i was organising the trip and all the requirements for 3 families coming in from different places and it was all spot on. I'm really surprised to see a negative review as this was absolutely one of the best holidays of this type we've ever had and would definitely stay again.
