Beautiful hotel, attention to detail is spot on. Rooms are gorgeous and very spacious. Fisherman's Village in Bophut is only 10 mins away in a taxi Beach is quite small, breakfast is lacking a little The Saboey was a very nice surprise. The whole resort is gorgeous and although only a small number of rooms seems a lot bigger. The staff are very attentive and couldn't do enough for you. We had one of the suites which was really big and beautifully decorated, great artwork too. The pool area is lovely with a reasonable sized infinity pool and separate jacuzzi all overlooking the sea and on to Koh Phangan. We only stayed for 3 nights which we found was just perfect for here as there's not a massive amount to do and 2 weeks here may be pulling my hair out. 10 out of 10 Saboey thank you for our stay and your hospitality.
Hotel Feature Tip : If you contact them from either the airport or your last hotel they will come and collect you.

Romantic location right on the beach and away from the crowd in Chewang. Lovely gardens and pool area. Staff very friendly but dont really speak or understand english which can be a problem when trying to order in the restaurant and housekeeping etc... Under the airport flight path so can be noisey but not so bad as to spoil it. Fantastic, small resort. Very romantic. Beach villa 1 was amazing. Best one in the resort, well worth the extra money. Just steps from the beach and sea. Own private loungers and deck area. Lovely canopy bed and massive sunken bath. The infinity pool is beautiful overlooking the sea. Big Bhuda beach is quiet and empty perfect for a romantic stroll.The swimming here is good too - no rocks and no rip tides. Great shells too. 2 minutes to the ferry pier for Koh Phangnan and other trips around the islands.
Hotel Feature Tip : Great spa. Lovely beach with good swimming.

Nice room, good environment and silent place. Good swimming pool, almost private for us.
Good choice if you are looking for a quiet place far away from Chaweng Beach.
Water pressure is not stable and the air conditioner is noisy at night.

| VERY GOOD STAY except for the staff |

Staff was very friendly and helpful with our toddler son. To eat you should just stick to thai food which is what you should be there for anyway, its much cheaper/value. For drinks, snacks etc the convenience store is just outside across the road and will save you a heap of money.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Hard to find a good beach, either try and gain access from another resort further around the island as this side on the airport is not that good. Bo Phut beach we managed to find accessible to the public with cheap off street car parking available right opposite the beach costing 10 Baht only, just past the beach front shops and restaurant strip.

This hotel is for those seeking pool, sea and tranquility. The rooms are luxurious, the staff helpful. the hotel is shopping, activities and pay expensive compared to other hotels. The shops are not near (15 minutes by car). No choice for breakfast is an exotic location and soothing. Ideal for doing nothing and disconnect.
Travel tip : The massages are too expensive at the hotel are offered by the Thai seaside and very good price!
