Guest reviews for Baan Kilee

Fantastic stay at Baan Kilee

Dear Desiree!

Would just like to let you know that we had the most fantastic stay at Baan Kilee. The Villa is superb and so is the staff with the kind, effective, professional and warm Kuhn Rose heading them.

The only area with room for improvement would be the cleanliness of the beach. The staff kept it clean until the waterline, leaving a lot of broken glass in the 3-4 meter area we had to walk through to get into the sea. (only 0 – 15 cm of water). We picked the glass every day ourselves, the staff could not have not seen this. It would be a nice improvement if this was fixed.

Anyway, our overall impression was magnificent, we have recommended it to everybody we know, and will for sure come back, if not to the same villa, at least to your company and one of your many villas.

Kind regards

Robert Aakre

Dear Desiree,
I just wanted to follow up and say how much we enjoyed our week at Baan Kilee! Khun Rose and her team are truly excellent staff.
Khun Rose and the Chef made our lives very easy and were incredibly helpful with everything, the best staff I have ever had the privilege of seeing.
Each one of us would happily have packed them away and brought them home with us if we could! The birthday party was excellent and many thanks to Mr Jack for arranging that, with the usual excellent work by Rose and her team in carrying it off so well.
I would be grateful if you will pass on the compliments, and those of all my guests, to the team and to management.
Please also, if the chance arises, pass our compliments to the owners on the creation of a truly lovely environment.
Kind regards,
Andrew

Tina, I don?t know where to start to thank you for the most amazing days we?ve just spent at Koh Samui. The villa is unbelievable ? you should be so proud of yourself, it's a fantastic accomplishment.
I know you need to think about the details, and those things which might seem not quite right yet, but everything about the villa as it is right now is sensational.
I think your staff are great, they seem to observe, listen and then do it differently so getting it right. It's just amazing.
I can't think of better words! We loved every minute and can't wait to go back! (I have a plan, but need to get through the next few hellish days at work before I can give it some more thought, and I?m sure you don't want to think about it again for at least a few days!)
I did a search and found your villa on the Samui Villas website. let me know if you're ready for me to start spreading the work about it!

Setting is unbelievable! The private beach, the views, the quietness all fantastic! The property has been well thought out, letting you live inside out.
The accommodation is of the highest standard, very comfortable and luxurious! It would be great as a setting for a wedding, a 40th birthday, an anniversary celebration, just about any celebration for friends and family and so much more intimate than a hotel.. I just chilled, and I loved it.
I haven't slept so long in the longest time!

We had a wonderful stay at Baan Kilee and would, without hesitation, return to the villa and recommend it to our friends. The private and quiet location of the villa was a big plus for us as was the wonderful beach and view. I was amazed at the quality of the whole villa as it was on par with many 5 Star, top end private island hotels, that I have stayed in.
The current Thai Chief is superb and any guests interested in cooking should ask him for a lesson, I did and thoroughly enjoyed working under his direction. During our stay we did the following activities; Five Islands fishing boat tour, organized by the Five Islands restaurant. Personally I loved the small local boat but some might not.
 Definitely a must do trip in my opinion. Scuba Diving ? the villa manager organized a day?s scuba diving for my 10 year old boy. He was taken off in a taxi and returned to me at 4pm having had a wonderful day of private one on one diving with a local instructor (Discovery Divers - Chaweng) Massage ? at the villa, organized by the villa manager. Good but would prefer to go outside away from the kids screaming in the pool!
Hill top view Massage and Rock Spa ( Tamarin Springs ) best massage that I have ever had you must do it! Sailing. A wonderfully kind chap called Kunta come over to the villa with two boats and parked them on our beach for a week.
Every afternoon my kids had sailing lessons. My boys are 8 and 10 - they loved it. Large boat catamaran (Coco Blues) with Kunta at his base in Chaweng ? good to see the island from a distance.
Many thanks

Kate O'Brien - May 12th, 2008

This new property is simply fab! Nestled on its own beach far from the Chewang crowds its the perfect getaway for family and friends. Everything is thought of to the finest detail making it ideal for both adults and children (who can simply spend their days between the large pool, beachcombing and playing football and tag in the garden).
Staff were superb and the food (especially the Thai) was on par with top-class restaurants and in even better surrounds.
The friendly staff, headed by Khun B, were on hand to cater to our every need from booking taxis, organising a long-tail boat to booking massages on site, or soaking up the fresh air in the hills of Tamarind Springs (just a 20-minute drive).
While our holiday was meeting of friends, Baan Kilee is also the perfect venue for family reunions, birthday parties (all ages!) and small weddings and I personally cant wait to return!

What a magical and tranquil part of the world at Baan Kilee! From our arrival welcome of cool watermelon cocktails to the (almost teary) departure as we said goodbye to our new friends ? the staff - at the villa it was fantastic.
We were celebrating a girls' weekend for ten with guests flying in from all over the world and could not have chosen a better venue. The huge expanse of bedrooms and various entertaining areas enabled our group to remain relaxed over entire stay.
A luxurious pool, sunken chairs, the bar-stools by the barbeque, huge comfortable beds, sunken baths and lounges everywhere! Very useful for the many massages and spa treatments we booked and enjoyed! After staying at various six-star resorts over Asia over the last 15 years I would definitely recommend Baan Kilee as a viable option to the smaller rooms and less intimate dining areas with inferior hotel service.
It has everything you need and staff who are ready to fall over themselves to complete the most simple or difficult request.
Chef's food was amazing, so much so that we cancelled our last dinner out and instead stayed at home to enjoy yet another of her feasts. I would love to return with my young family soon as the Villa is a safe and large option for both parents and children to be entertained.
The only bad thing is you have to leave!

Nick and Sarah Penn - May 12th, 2008

I would just like to thank you for allowing myself and my family to stay in what was certainly the nicest villa I have ever stayed at,and believe me I've tried a few.
The effort and attention to detail that you must have put in to making the villa so special for guests to stay in was quite superb. You obviously spent a lot of time choosing the location before taking the plunge as I felt this also was spectacular and can only improve over the coming years.
Our trip will stay in our memories for a long time to come and I hope that I am able to do a repeat visit sometime.
I wish you and your staff many more happy days there and if ever you are in our neck of the woods, please don?t hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Nick and Sarah Penn

Dear Marc;
I am writing regarding the wonderful stay that we enjoyed at Baan Kilee, over the New Year's 2007/2008 period.
It was initially a concern that we had many families congregating from 4 different continents, but those concerns were quickly overcome by the beautiful house, Baan Kilee, itself and all of the various outlets and rooms in which to find personal space.
At all times of the day or during the evening, there was always an abundance of space for everyone, without ever feeling crowded, in any way. With three distinct generations represented during our stay, there was always an activity to cater to everyone (Quiet reading, yoga, sun-lounging, water-sports in either the infinity pool or Gulf of Thailand from our beach access or hiking to local fishing villages for lunch).
A very special word of thanks to the staff, who were fantastic, to say the very least. The House Manager (Kuhn Bea) and senior Chef (Kuhn Guy) could not have been more welcoming or hospitable.
Their comprehension of spoken english, appreciation of Western idiosyncracies, and knowledge of spas, shopping, resturants and attractions around the island made them indispensable part of planning every group activity. In four consecutive evenings, the adults enjoyed a dining experience in a different location each evening (On the terrace overlooking the beach, on the grass between the infinity pool and beach, in the more informal dining room above the pool, and, finally, New Year's was a formal event in the dining area at the highest point on the property).
In closing, my wife and I travel around the world at least twice per year from Australia. As it is such a long way from anywhere, we try to settle in one spot for a minimum of one week. The blessing of staying at Baan Kilee is that whether we were to stay alone or with a group of 20 people, we would always have the room to enjoy as much quiet time as we need, and spend as much time with friends and family as we should wish.
Looking forward to our return trip back to Baan Kilee and Koh Samui.
Warm Regards,
David David McConnell

Just a quick note to say that we had a wonderful time at Baan Kilee.
The accommodation, was perfect for our family. We were lucky enough to stay in the master bedroom which was beautifully appointed with ample space for the whole family.
The pool was fantastic with plenty of shallow areas for the younger children and stunning views out over a great beach and out to sea. The cinema room added another dimension for keeping the family entertained.
The hammock slung between two palm trees on the edge of the beach epitomized the lazy luxury of this lovely place.
On top of this the staff were incredibly helpful and the food excellent whether down at a beach barbeque, on the deck or in the main dining room.
Thanks for a lovely time!

Rawls family - May 12th, 2008

What a holiday!
From the moment we were picked up at the airport with the lady in the immaculate linen out fit to the time we left we were made to feel so very special. The accommodation was truly spacious and contemporary, on occasions giving you the feeling you were the only family staying there....
We were lucky enough to sleep in the rooms over looking the infinity pool with a view of the five islands over our toes at the end of the bed. What a view! Could be sold as a post card in its own right! Particularly enjoyed our own huge outdoor stone bath and outside shower with orchids growing up the wall from within coconut shells.
The children had so much to do spending time with the children from the other two families we went with; Sailing lessons, canoeing in the sea in front of the villas, elephant riding, tree canopy trip, cooking with the villa?s chef, napkin folding, films in the enormous cinema room, table tennis, bonfires on the beach, lighting lanterns on the beach and watching them float up, fireworks and a snorkeling trip around the Five islands.
The staff were super ? K. Rose and K. Bea were very attentive and were keen to share so much to give us all an introduction to their culture. The Thai food was delicious. The villas offered huge variety - I think we counted 9 different places that we could all sit together.
There was a big birthday party whilst we were there which showed how the villas could accommodate a big party and still feel so intimate.
One highlight for me was to see a buffalo swimming in the sea from our beach...
Thank you for wonderful time.
Adam, Clare, Ben & Tilda
