We hadn’t been to Phuket for many years so weren’t sure how much it had changed. We wanted somewhere quiet, away from loud nightlife but within easy reach of a beach. The Lanterns looked perfect: spacious, elegant, well kept and with a very good-sized pool. We booked for a week.The admin via Vrbo and the owner was handled very efficiently, with plentiful and accurate information about check-in and location. Airport pickup is offered, but we hired a car and there was plenty of undercover parking.The Lanterns is in a very peaceful development of about eight villas and we hardly saw anyone else. We were greeted by the wonderful housekeeper, Khun Sa — what a delight. She spoke good English and had worked at the villa for many years, living locally and knowing everything about the area. She recommended and booked restaurants, advised on beaches, shops and markets, and was also an excellent cook. She made us a delicious Pad Thai lunch one day.I enjoy cooking, so she told us about the best fresh markets and I cooked for five of our seven nights in the very well-equipped kitchen. The villa was beautifully appointed and maintained, spotless, and the pool was excellent. Khun Sa was always respectful of our privacy, asking when it suited us best to clean and keeping out of our way. She truly was a delight.Thank you Fiona and Khun Sa — your villa and service were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This was a beautiful stay at a beautiful property. We stayed almost 3 weeks in August and had a fabulous holiday. Our main aim was to relax and soak up the culture. Sa, our housekeeper was a highlight of our stay. She couldn’t have been more helpful. Her cooking was delicious. We had a beautiful trip to the Blue Elephant for a celebration lunch. It was lovely. But not as delicious, fresh and varied as our special anniversary meal that Sa cooked for us. The pool was lovely and the lanai relaxing and special. A lovely stay.

Fabulous villa holiday in beautiful Phuket

Wow! What an incredible 9 days in this wonderful villa, within walking distance to both Surin & BangTao beaches.Everything about the villa, the organisation, the rooms, the communication from our host and the wonderful housekeeping service was designed to make this the best family holiday we’ve been on.Khun Sa the housekeeper is an absolute gem who made the stay so relaxing and perfect. She was incredibly helpful without being intrusive and her home cooked Thai meals (we booked her for dinner at the villa twice during our stay) and beautifully prepared breakfasts were the best meals we had during our 2 week trip to Thailand.I couldn’t recommend this villa enough!Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!

Great Villa

As everyone says what makes staying here is Sa. She takes care of your every need from cooking fabulous meals, helping with transportation, reservations, and keeping the villa clean. Our teens loved just hanging out at the pool. It’s like having a private resort. It’s a fairly easy walk to Surun Beach but not walkable to the sandy part of Bang Tao. The owner responds to questions quickly.

Fabulous

The Lanterns villa located on the west coast of Phuket has recieved many positive reviews before, deservedly so. What really makes this property standout from all the rest is the wonderful housekeeper Khun-Sa. It's been stated many times before but she just makes the stay all the more special and we can't thank her enough. Not much more I can add to this review other than to say that if you've booked (or are about to book) have a fabulous time, we certainly did.

Paradise Found

I write this review with a selfish reluctance that it will make this dream property even more difficult to book in the future, yet with a string sense of obligation to the owners and host!The property is everything it promises to be and more! Pictures do not do it justice. It is immaculately maintained in like new condition as are all of the furniture and fittings. It is well stocked with towels and all necessary toiletries and amenities. Communication with the owner is exemplary and any issues are handled immediately to complete satisfaction.That said there is one thing that must not be neglected in this review. The property itself is not even close to being the star of the show! Houskeeper, Chef, Tour Guide, Shopper, and Butler Sa is a joyful spirit, with a can-do attitude who anticipates needs before they exist! In 45 years of 5 Star worldwide travel my family and I have never encountered such a TREASURE! Sa is a loving heart, with a radiant smile, who finds great joy in pleasing. She made our entire stay relaxing, stress free, and kept us organized, on schedule, and very well fed!!We can't wait to return....

Our second time staying at the villa. Property is lovely, but what makes the stay magical is Khun Sa, the fantastic and charming property host, caretaker and cook.
