Saboey Resort and Villas

Lim, Villas on 2007-12-08 and said, "We had a great time. It s a boutique resort (so, not crowded) with very friendly and helpful staff. The villa we clean - steps away from the pool, the beach and the restaurant. Very convenient."

Stephanie Villas on 2007-09-29 and said, "We had a brilliant time. The food and wine selection available at the pool bar was superberb. We loved the quiet of Big Buddah Beach which was still convenient enough to pop across to Bophut and down to Lamai. Tim and Nicki were fabulous hosts - can t fault anything!"

Sally Villas on 2007-06-21 and said, "We loved this small resort!! We helpful, and the food was fab. We visted out of season, so we had the resort to ourselves. The only noise was the airplanes over head, as the resort is close to the airport. It didnt bother us in the slightest. Very tranquil, we had a great 7 nights there. Only 15 min taxi to the busy Chaweng area. So a great location for us."

sarah Villas on 2006-12-29 and said, "After losing our luggage on a flight with emirates, my girlfrind and I had no clothes for 6 days, we where very upset as you can imagine, I told the English manager of the hotel, As we where booked in for New Years Eve dinner, I informed the manager that we could not attend as we had no clothes , He said he would look in to it for us.....on the day we checked out the manager charged us £120 for a dinner we couldnt attend???? I was disgusted at the hotels greed and lack of empathy, I would not recmomend this place to anyone, the food was terrible and cold, Also when we where arguing about the bill another couple where charged for NYE and they where very upset, the hotel really let itself down for being unreasonable and greedy, dont stay there!!!"

Fam.Nielsen&Johansson Villas on 2005-03-25 and said, "very nice hotel, very nice staff.Very nice food. Quiet and nice beach, althought the water wasn´t clear,It didn´t bother us at all. Big Buddha beach is not far from the airport, you can hear and see the planes coming and going,nothing that disturbes the peace though.We absolutely recomend this hotel! hopefully we will return to Saboey."

Brett Villas on 2005-02-07 and said, "Like many resorts on Samui, Saboey is a mixed bag. The bungalows and grounds are lovely, as is the beach which offers a nice, relatively unpopulated alternative to the crowds and tawdry commercialism of Chaweng. There are some substantial cons, however. The periodic rumble of jets from the airport is a sad disruption to the otherwise peaceful tenor of the place, and the on-site restaurant leaves a bit to be desired: OK food but small, overpriced servings. The immediate area isn t exactly rich with great dining alternatives, but there are enough other decent restaurants within walking distance of Saboey for this not to be an insurmountable problem (and Chaweng is a short taxi ride away if that s your scene). The resort also seems to be very popular with families--at least, it was during our stay--so there were lots of small children in the pool. This wasn t a problem for us (esp, as we tended to swim in the sea rather than the pool), but it may be for some. In sum, we enjoyed our time at Saboey and would recommend it with just one or two reservations."

Stephen Villas on 2004-12-20 and said, "Convenient location v.near airport. Lovely resort. Rooms V. expensive near Christmas. Would prefer toilet not visible from bathroom/wardrobe space. Think bath robes and slippers should be included at such a price. Staff very friendly and kind. Sea a bit cloudy but pool magnificent. Nothing much outside resort within walking distance but taxis cheap and available to pick up on road. bed was very hard but staff kindlt provided underblankets quickly. All in all, a very nice few days."

Ronald Villas on 2004-11-23 and said, "It s been impressed myself for such a nice staying at the Saboey Resort. Staff are all friendly; Food at the bar is nice; and overall surrounding created as a relax escape from busy town life. I enjoy my stay very much. However, it s a bit far away from Shopping area and the taxi free is quite expensive. I definitely will come back for my next trip to Koh Samui"

R Villas on 2004-11-19 and said, "We had a lovely relaxing stay at this beautiful resort. Swimming pool was fantastic and food was delicious. Staff went out of their way to be friendly and accomodating. Thank you to all at Saboey."

Matt Villas on 2004-09-22 and said, "I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway or for someone looking a small sized resort where it is quiet and away from a lot of tourists. The resort was actually much prettier in real life than the photos that I saw on the internet and the infinity pool was absolutely gorgeous. The layout of the resort was beautiful with a nice homely bar. The staff were very friendly and were helpful in everyway. As for us, the free transfer to and from the airport were right on time. The only bad thing that I could say about this is the airplane noise as it is quite close to the airport but even that wasnt so bad. A paradise in my opinion."

Brooke Villas on 2004-08-25 and said, "We had high expectations of Saboey Resort due to the price range that it fell under, unfortunately our expectations were not fully met.Upon arrival at Koh Samui airport we patiently waited for our pre-arranged airport pick-up. After about 45 minutes we decided to head for the nearest shuttle bus at a cost to ourselves. When we arrived at Saboey’s reception area (the bar) we were greeted with chaos, screaming children and staff who were surprised to see us.Apparently no one had received our flight arrival time. Funnily enough we had a copy of the reply from the reservation manager confirming that they would pick us up� Our room was lovely but did not have the bath it had promised. Other than that we were very impressed with the décor etc. Over the next two days, we tried to have a dip in the pool but as there were children bombing themselves in it we weren’t too successful. We tried to book a massage as advertised on the website but the masseur was unavailable during all the times we requested.The Saboey is a beautiful resort and maybe with a bit more organisation it would be the peaceful and relaxing experience it advertises. Maybe we just caught them at a bad time."
