The Sarojin

It's taken me a while to write this but wanted to leave a review for this outstanding hotel. The Sarojin is a small, boutique hotel in a quieter area of Khao Lak. It has a fantastic setting on a stunning beach which manages to give an air of luxury without being pretentious. My husband and I stayed for 7 nights as part of a longer trip to Thailand for our 50th birthdays. We saved for this holiday for nearly 2 years and this hotel would normally be out of our price range. Therefore we had high expectations. It did not disappoint. From the 'all day' breakfast, to the huge, well appointed room, and the gorgeous pool, we loved every second. Having been to Thailand before, I knew that the small beach bars and restaurants offer amazing food and great value for money, so we didn't eat in the hotel very often. However we did decide to try the seafood buffet evening on our last night. Unfortunately the weather is quite unpredictable in November so after watching the staff set up the beach so perfectly, the heavens opened and they had to relocate inside, but this did not detract from the evening at all. Food, service and live music were all brilliant. We fell in love with Khao Lak, so much so that we have booked to return in 2027. Unfortunately we couldn't afford The Sarojin this time, but this area of Thailand is highly recommended for those seeking a more laid back, quieter holiday away from the busier areas of Phuket but still seeking authentic Thai hospitality and stunning scenery.

The hotel enjoys a breathtaking, peaceful location that offers an immediate sense of calm and relaxation from the moment you arrive. It combines a luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere that feels elegant without ever being pretentious. There is exceptional attention to detail throughout the entire experience, creating a genuine feeling that every guest is truly special. In addition, the hotel offers beautifully organized excursions, such as trips to the Similan Islands, providing seamless arrangements, total comfort, and stunning natural scenery that makes every moment unforgettable.

Excellent service from all staff members - friendly and efficient. Great food with the all day breakfast (until 6pm) much appreciated. Excellent housekeeping albeit timing was not always convenient. Very quiet, calm atmosphere throughout the property.

This is our second visit to this most spectacular hotel with the most amazing location. We first visited in December 2024 as part of a tour of Thailand. This visit we stayed 6 nights at the end of a tour including, Vietnam and Malaysia. On arrival we were greeted by the lovely Aoi who checked us in and showed us to our room. The room was as beautiful as we remembered and we settled into our chill out of our trip. After 2 nights we were upgraded to a room with its own private pool, what a result it was amazing. These rooms are definitely worth booking if you can. Breakfast at the Sarojin is very unique, they serve from 6.30 until 6pm so you never feel rushed or under pressure to get there before say 10.30 (which is when most hotels finish breakfast) the food offerings are amazing a full menu with definitely something for everyone. We ate at the hotel most nights from the fine dining Thai food at the Edge to Mediterranean options in Ficus. All food was amazing and the waiting on staff so friendly, happy and professional. The hotel arranged transport for us when we wanted to leave the hotel. Aoi arranged for a taxi to take us to the turtle sanctuary and wait for us which just fantastic. It was my birthday during our visit and the staff sang happy birthday at breakfast and the chef had made a selection of cakes with happy birthday pipped on the plate. The housekeeper had written happy birthday with flowers on the bed……. Such a special memory for me. We love the Sarojin and will definitely return in the future. Thank you to all the staff from the gardeners, housekeeping staff, waiting staff, chefs and reception staff, you are amazing and a true credit to this wonderful hotel. Our special mention must go to Aoi who was so helpful to us when I was poorly. She is a superstar and represents everything the Sarojin aims to be, thank you 🙏

We stayed at The Sarojin and we can honestly say: it was beyond all expectations. A truly magical place, cared for in every detail, where from the moment you arrive you feel something rare: peace, serenity, and a beautiful sense of calm. It really is a fairytale destination. A huge thank you to everyone on the team: kind, smiling, always attentive—present but never intrusive. They make you feel genuinely welcomed, as if every guest is special. Simply spectacular. Unforgettable moments: • Waterfall dinner: an experience you’ll never forget. Incredible atmosphere, impeccable service, and outstanding food quality. Romantic, unique, and absolutely perfect. • Similan Islands trip: excellent organization—everything smooth, well planned, and relaxing. The sea and colors are unreal, a day straight out of a postcard. • New Year’s Eve dinner: magnificent. Elegant, top-quality, a wonderful vibe, and flawless organization. A truly special New Year’s celebration. The resort is a true oasis: stunning rooms, total comfort, perfect cleanliness, and an atmosphere that lets you truly switch off. It’s one of those places that stays with you. We will definitely return. Thank you, The Sarojin—you gave us a truly wonderful holiday, better than we could have ever imagined.
