Guest reviews The Sarojin

by MarkReynolds London, United Kingdom

Quite possibly my favourite place on earth

An amazing relaxing adventure that I enjoyed from start to finish, the Sarojin surpassed my expectations in every way and was an absolutely amazing experience. Our pool room was private, secluded and spacious - the perfect place to stretch out and enjoy a quiet day. Room service was fantastic also, and our room was absolutely spotless with a large bathroom and huge shower area. For those days when you do feel like venturing further, the relaxing pool, clean and efficient gym, and beautiful beach are close to hand, but my favourite experience had to be the day we spent snorkelling from the hotel’s own boat, the Lady Sarojin. Nearby areas of interest are also easily accessible via the hotel’s bikes or by taking a car or shuttle bus to the night market, etc. The hotel’s bars and restaurants are also great and adapt to your needs, whether sitting by the pool, by the beach in Edge, or dining in Ficus, staff, service and food were exceptional, all helped by the indulgence of having breakfast when you feel like it during the day! What really made the Sarojin for me was the staff - service was amazing and staff seemed to anticipate any service needs. All in all, this has to be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays I’ve had - I will absolutely be back!

Wonderful wedding anniversary

We had our 10year anniversary here. It was amazing and the all day breakfast was delicious and very filling (even if you could only order it once per day until 6pm). We had enjoyed the private pool, the hike ride, the waterfalls and even being scared half to death by a monitor lizard that jumped out of the stream and across the bridge and back into the stream. I think we unintentionally scared one another but all three of us have survived to tell the tale. Staff were also great, very helpful and very accommodating. Only thing is that the postcards we asked to be posted by staff never arrived in England and it's been a year since we went. Due to personal circumstances we never got around to leaving a review straight after our holiday. We would love to go back one day.

Everything I dreamed of for our honeymoon

We visited the 2 hotels, 1 in Krabi and then the sarojin in koh lak. WOW did we save the best till last. I can't even put into works how amazing The Sarojin was. The room, the pool, the staff, the food, the excursions. This was everything I dreamed about. Thank you so much to the staff for making it so special. We will be back again when our child is old enough to stay

The perfect stay

Whilst looking for our Honeymoon destination, we came across The Sarojin website and it was top of our list, dreaming of staying as we went through the photos on social media. When we went to a travel agent to book our trip, the hotel that came up first was The Sarojin and we knew then it was meant to be. We wanted somewhere really special as not only was this our Honeymoon, but my 30th birthday and our 10 year anniversary all falling in the same week. We were not disappointed. The Sarojin were amazing at helping us celebrate and made us feel so special. We had been in communication with The Sarojin ahead of our stay in regards to booking trips and communication was always timely and really helpful. When we arrived at The Sarojin, walking through the entrance is breath-taking and just so beautiful. We were greeted with cold towels, a drink and had a lovely chat with Nee. We were taken to our room, we were in 706, close to the beach and had booked a Pool room. If you are debating opting for a pool room then just do it!! The room had everything we needed and if it didn’t then Guest Relations would be happy to help. The rooms include a lovely straw beach bag which can be used, towels for outside use and inside use, toiletries etc. In addition to daily housekeeping the team come back in the evening too which is lovely. We had planned the Surin Island trip, which unfortunately was cancelled due the Covid-19 virus. This was a shame but the events team kept us posted, and we think it just means we will have to return again! We booked the Cooking Class for 2 and it was definitely a highlight of the trip. Chef Gogh took us to a local market and taught us about local ingredients. We had previously chosen what we wanted to cook on arrival – this was great as meant we could learn how to cook some of our favourite dishes. We opted for the Pavilion which was set up just for us and felt lovely and intimate. The whole morning was so well organised. We absolutely loved the cooking and got to have a lovely three course meal. We highly recommend this activity. We got given recipes to take home and have been practising. We imagined we would eat at the hotel a few times, and then venture out along the beach, however the food at The Sarojin is out of this world in both restaurants. Our passion is good food, and whilst people comment it is more expensive than those along the beach it is worth every single penny. Both restaurants are just fantastic. The all-day breakfast was lovely, and I highly recommend the banana pancakes which were just amazing and I really miss! We loved visiting the beach to watch the sunset - we ended up going down to watch everyday it was memorising. We loved playing cards during this time and having a drink by the beach at The Edge and enjoying Sak coming over for a chat. We took out the Mountain Bikes a couple of times during our stay and cycled to the nearby waterfall and other beaches. We were welcomed back with cold water and fresh towels. We treated ourselves to a massage in the Pathways Spa which was such a treat. A really lovely relaxing space and worth treating yourself to. Overall, we had the most wonderful stay, we were some of the last guests before Phuket and the Hotel went into lockdown. Even amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, it was a place of genuine serenity and relaxation - the most beautiful location, the most amazing staff and absolutely delicious food. We would return again in an instant!

Never wanted to leave

We went to The Sarojin to celebrate my birthday and I'm so glad we did. After a week in the wonderfully hectic Chiang Mai, a week of relaxation at The Sarojin was just perfect. We loved the lazy breakfasts, everything was delicious. For my birthday, we experienced the private dining under the wedding tree with our private chef. It was the most amazing meal and the staff did everything possible to make sure the experience was as special as possible. We even got upgraded from a pool suite to a jacuzzi suite for the last night which was a very generous gesture. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff at the Sarojin, just can't wait to return. We had a couple of meals at the Edge but also tried a few of the restaurants in Khao Lak and further along the beach. Thank you for an wonderful time.
