We had a comfortable stay at the villa and felt very much at home. The housekeeper and cleaner are superb. The owner was very helpful in meeting all our needs (We had 2 under 3's). It's a great retreat and would definitely play a few rounds of golf next time when the kids are more independent. You will need a car to get around though, it is not Patong Beach after all and thank goodness for that!

... all is perfect, quiet and clean. Thanks to Mum. The right place to explore the whole island.

Value for money..owner response is very quick. fully equipped kitchware, well-maintained, property is very clean. but little bit far from Patong. Would recommend this for large group of friends

Just back from 3 glorious weeks at The Groves villas on the Phuket Country club. Hubby and I went – he is a golfer and I am not. He went off and chased the ball and I had the pool and villa to myself! Villa is fantastic - it’s a large 3 bed villa and it was perfect. -master bedroom and bathroom are to die for, and it was really handy having a little office with Wi-Fi, lovely finishes with an open plan kitchen that has all the equipment you would need. You can’t fault the guys that run this place – they even had a couple of beers in the fridge after our journey from Abu Dhabi. We were on our own for the first 2 weeks and the villa offered us everything we could want, we had 2 lots of friends join us for the last week and there was plenty of room. The location is good but would advise a car. The town of Kathu does not have much in it but the Groves folks put us onto the best local restaurant (Big chicken) not sure what its really called but food is fantastic – even had take out a couple of nights. Being in the middle of the island it’s a great place to explore everything. Would recommend a car though or you will miss it. Vince - who manages the property is a real character and an amazing resource for where to go and what to do. Villa is close to Patong (10 mins by car) but far enough away from the madness if it’s not your thing (not ours really but interesting for one night). Phuket is much nicer, some fantastic restaurants (Again Vince will sort you out) you must go to China Inn for lunch and there is a lovely shop there with original Burmese antiques. Some of the items in the villa re from there and are lovely and you are buying authentic products. We have tended to go the villa route in recent years mostly for the extra space and privacy they provide and the Groves was no exception, that coupled with the owners willingness to make our trip memorable is well worth recommending it to our friends. Oh and the golf – villa owners will get you discounts, just don’t know if it will help your game! All in all I would totally recommend The Groves, if you are not a golfer don’t be put off it’s a fantastic trendy Thai villa in a brilliant location. Julie and Jack, Abu Dhabi, UAE

We arrived to be greeted with drinks which helped us relax immediately. The villa was even better than the photos. Loads of space and completely private and very peaceful but with fantastic views. All the rooms were beautifully decorated. We had a very relaxing holiday even though we don't play golf and were not far away from the beaches and shops!

This is a beautiful villa with modern facilities, including a lovely outdoor pool, which was perfect for our family. The rooms are spacious, elegant and comfortable. The villa is about 5-10 minutes by car to supermarkets and shopping centres, all of which cater to the local and expat market. We don't play golf, but since other attractions are accessible, it didn't really matter. (We just hopped into the car and off we went!) There was always someone a phone call away to answer questions/solve problems, and we felt very well looked after from beginning to end. The owner was particularly friendly, and on-site representatives were very helpful and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, and you will too.

Great experience for my first trip to Phuket. The property was well maintained, owner was VERY helpful and friendly, and the location was private. I would definitely recommend this property for those who enjoy their privacy and an occasional round of golf!! Recommend getting the car to help you get around better.

We are happy to recommend this villa. Everything went well from beginning to the end. Villa was in very good condition, like in pictures. Location is good, 5 min to Tesco and little bit longer to Patong. None of our group was a golfer, but what we understood Phuket Country Club is a good course. So, happy to come again and special thanks to "villahost" Vincent.
