Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Sandalwood Luxury Villa Resort offers spacious and comfortable apartments, some with multiple bedrooms and lovely views. The on-site restaurant is well-regarded, and the hotel provides a convenient taxi service, useful considering the steep hill leading to the property; it's just 10 minutes to Lamai Beach and 15 to Chaweng Beach. While most appreciate the spectacular views from the villas, a few guests have noted that the villas appear a bit older.

damaged furniture sewage smell
The private pool was welcome.
The villa showed signs of wear. Furniture on the terrace was damaged, and there were stains on the bedding. a constant smell of sewage permeated the bathrooms. I also observed that staff members monitored guests' WhatsApp statuses. This was invasive.
