We had the most amazing 10-day stay at Sandalwood, absolute 5 star service at all times. From the moment we arrived until we left, everyone was attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
We were provided with a mobile phone for the entire stay, so that we could arrange to be collected by the hotel's driver from anywhere on the island for a modest cost, and some local trips were free of charge during the daytime. The rooms were immaculate, and we had a plunge pool on our balcony with panoramic views across the bay.
The room was very comfortable and spacious, with traditional Thai style decor. Breakfast was included, and there was a good selection for even the fussiest eaters. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times in the evening, the food was good, but I thought you could get better value meals in the restaurants nearby.
We also used the spa, and had a massage - again, absolutely brilliant. The only slight negative is the really steep hill up to the hotel, so you can't really walk down to the beach etc, but it doesn't matter really, as there's a free shuttle up and down the hill in the daytime.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and have already recommended Sandalwood to all my friends!! Hope to visit again soon!
