My wife and I recently stayed at Fairhouse Villas and Spa for our Honeymoon. We stayed 8 nights, 3 nights in an ocean view suite, then the remaining 5 in a beach front Villa.
Things we loved!
- THE GROUNDS AND ROOMS: Fairhouse is IMMACULATE. It is a literal tropical paradise, it is clear that the staff take great pride in their workplace and work diligently to make it a beautiful place to stay and work. The villa itself we stayed in was stunning, great facilities, the bathrooms are beautiful, the pool and cabana are magical, the bed was VERY comfortable and pillows were of high quality
- BREAKFAST: Fairhouse provide a comprehensive daily breakfast buffet, Complete with a chef that will make your eggs the way you like. It was a relief knowing we could attend breakfast every morning and eat well in a tranquil outdoor restaurant (this also saved us from spending unnecessarily travelling elsewhere to eat out)
- THE POOL (and poolside service): Though we had a private pool for most of our honeymoon (which was also awesome). We loved the atmosphere of the main pool area. The beds were comfortable, with ample shade. There were options to face both the ocean or the pool and to sit poolside or on sand. There was a swim up bar, pool toys and ocean toys such as kayaks and paddle boards that were of free use to hotel guests.
- TRANSFER SERVICE: my wife and I chose not to hire motorcycles or cars, though these were readily available for hire through the hotel. They also offered a comprehensive transfer service to all the popular destinations around the island. It was easy to organise and very affordable.
- SPIRIT AND ACTIONS OF STAFF: it was so pleasant to be greeted by broad smiling face everywhere we went, offering a cheerful “Sawadee krap/ka”. Restaurant staff were friendly and attentive, particularly the egg chef, who makes a mean omelette and had such a kind face, the bar staff who are EXPERT cocktail makers (I recommend the Singapore Sling and Mai Thai), the concierge who on our last night drove us up to the W hotel for our final meal (betrayal, I know!)
Things we didn’t love:
- our honeymoon got off to a rocky start, when we were left at the airport by the hotel. We had booked and paid for an airport pick up and we had to call the hotel - who made us prove we had booked it before coming to pick us up. (We were offered a free transfer to Bophut Fisherman’s Village to make up for this mistake).
- inconsistency of the restaurant. Apart from breakfast (and the cocktails) we had mixed experiences with the restaurant. We had some quite good food (club sandwich and and EXCELLENT chicken satay) we also had some quite average meals. The wait times for room service, cocktails and food was often quite long - we understand that there is one restaurant/bar serving a whole resort, but we were often waiting 20/25 minutes for cocktails made in a bar a 20 second walk from the pool. We chose to only eat at the restaurant once for dinner - consequently.
