We left part of ourselves at Baan Pa Nom!
Review Submitted: November 11, 2008
Date of Stay: September 2008
Six of us friends stayed at Baan Pa Nom for 4 nights towards the end of Sept and though it has been more than a month since we returned from our short holiday, we’ve all left parts of hearts back at the villa!! The Best part of our entire trip was enjoying the pure beauty within and around the villa. We were skeptical at first as we had viewed some pictures of the villa from other sites, but we were proved wrong as the pictures, even from Karon Rustic’s site, don’t do any justice to the villa at all!! We felt right at home and we must thank Susan and Utt, the dear housekeeper, for our wonderful stay. Though initially we did complain about the walk up and down the slope as the villa is situated on a hill, we overcame it soon enough and actually found it fun to work our legs for the 5-10 min walk, plus it was an easy walk to Karon beach and the nearby shops/restaurants!
We share the same sentiments as the other reviews – the rooftop infinity pool/Jacuzzi is splendid!! Sadly, we only utilized it for one night as we were packed with tours/activities for the rest of the days and it poured heavily the day we decided to stay in. We had no complains though, as we enjoyed indoors, watching DVDs-there’s a fairly great collection of DVDs, magazines and novels available in the living room. The villa was equipped with every facility we needed and even if there was something missing, we absolutely didn’t notice as we were simply awed by the simple yet beautiful interior designs and amazing views of the Andaman Sea and the nearby hills. As the kitchen was fully equipped with almost every type of cutlery and utensils, we bought our own groceries and cooked some of our meals. The lounge area at the living room was perfect for our drinking sessions, with the company of the constant cool breeze. Utt was very warm and friendly and kept our holiday home very clean with his daily services as well.
We’re still bragging about our stay at Baan Pa Nom to our friends and families and showing off the numerous shots we took! We even recorded our very own ‘MTV Cribs’ style video of the entire villa and had our own photoshoot at almost every corner of the house!
We’ll definitely plan another trip just to enjoy the serenity the villa offers. Sometimes we even talk about leaving everything behind and settling there! :) Our first thought and affiliation each time we think of Phuket is Baan Pa Nom and we don’t think That would change! Kudos to the accommodation!

A beautiful villa, very well serviced and in a goodlocation - apart from the hill walk up from the main road! No real problem for most people and a small issue when everything else was so good.
A great place to stay and enjoy this beautiful place.

It was fabulous, I have stayed in places all around the world and this place wins for sure. Views on the rooftop pool during sunset were the icing on the cake. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Karon Beach Villa
Review Submitted: July 18, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
We used the villa as base for a diving holiday. Good size rooms, very clean, great views. Short walk into Karon beach for a beer and a meal or a 15 minute 300 baht cab ride to organised chaos of Patong.
Discrete daily maid service.
Good value and we would use again.
Very steep walk back to villa not for the infirm and the villa itself not suitable for small children - too easy to slip through balcony rails or out of the roof pool.

Baan Panom Villa
Review Submitted: May 29, 2008

The villa is situated at a secluded, quiet spot at the top of a hill, which on one hand gives you a fantastic view while you relax and chill out in the sublime (jacuzzi fitted) infinity pool, but on the other hand, can be a strenuous climb up for those not in good physical shape.
Its location is okay.. a 10-15min walk away from Karon beach, while a 15-20min ride from the main patong beach. Food and supplies can be gotton from grocery stores and food outlets at the foot of the hill.
The condition of the villa is livable as long as you have no intense phobia of insects and lizards which may pay you a visit every once in a while. The rooms are quite cosy and comfortable (air conditioned), although I found that the air-con in the master bedroom is by far the coolest. Each room has its own toilet which is a bonus, and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking, etc.
In terms of living space, it can comfortably accommodate a family or a group of 6.
To reiterate an earlier point, my group and I feel that the best feature of the villa would be the infinity pool. You could just chill, relax and laze in there all day long in the comfortable waters as the jacuzzi jets wash over your body and sooth away any weary thoughts and any tired muscles. That in itself made the Baan Panom Villa an enjoyable experience for me.

The accomodations were incredible. Not only were the owners more than hospitable, Ot, the housekeeper (spelling?) was the great! My brother booked the trip with the help of one of the property managers/owners and she set up an amazing trip for us. The house itself was the nicest I have ever stayed in. The house overlooked the ocean and a great portion of the town. The house is beautifully decorated with local trinkets and stocked with more sundries and bath essentials than expected. By far it was better to stay here than any hotel, in my opinion. The location is fantastic too! As a family of 5 we could easily grab a tuk tuk or van to snorkel at Phi Phi island or to take us to Patong Beach for a little fee or we could easily walk down to the nearby market to bargain or grab a bite to eat on the street or in a lovely restaurant!! The pictures on the website for this place are no spoof like on other falty websites. The pictures actually don't do it justice! Do yourself and your family a favor and stay at the 3 or 4 bedroom house; located right next to each other; it is worth it! We actually spent less money staying at this house than we would have on 2 or 3 bedrooms for the four days we spent in Phuket!! I just graduated culinary school in USA and I fell in love with the kitchen in the house. Not that I cooked many meals in it because I wanted to explore the Thai cuisine but I could live in that house and was seriously considering it if my life moves in that direction. The living area hosts a beautiful television with satellite access but we didn't need it in paradise. We were trying to escape from the everyday routine. Our family stayed in the 3 bedroom villa and had more than enough room to play around. Each bedroom had a/c but the majority of the day we had the windows open to feel the warm ocean breeze. The very top level holds the infinity pool. By this I mean a pool that overflows and looks as if you could swim right up to the edge and fall off. Our family splashed around almost everynight in the pool. It's very private at the top and very relaxing with the covered deck and lounge chairs. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off before and after your swim! We agreed that if we came back to Thailand, this is where we would stay again. The houses are also for sale and if my career leads me to Thailand, I guarantee that I would scoop up that house in a heartbeat. You will love this villa!! We did!
3 night stay in Baan Panom

Location was average, with tuk tuk and taxi services available at the main road from the house. But located on a steep hill so be prepared for a 40m workout uphill. 15mins walk to Karon Beach area through Movenpick Resort. Pictures of pool and views were as seen but furniture is slightly older. Views from the pool were great at sunset but children going to the pool should be supervised. Cooking utensils were sufficient, basic condiments and welcome package of beer and fruits.
Property was clean and well maintained, caretaker was very friendly and conscientious. Minor details such as arrangement of footwear and food stuff would be arranged neatly each day.
Management was able to help us arrange excursions and made it convenient for us as possible. The arrange excursion to Phi Phi Islands was great and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Would recommend for friends or family for a nice trip to Phuket as reasonably near to Karon Beach and Patong Beach.
But due to location and climb to property, would not recommend to groups with elderly and perhaps children unless a vehicle is owned for the trip.

I'm not sure that words can adequately describe the property and the staff. From the first minute that I made the reservation until the day we left for the airport, we were given the best treatment. It was amazing! Susan was so much help with everything, from explaining away every concern to arranging trips and making recommendations for excursions. Upon arrival, she and her father were there to greet us and responded to every SMS or phone call during our stay. Ot came daily to clean, do any minor maintenance work that needed to be done, replace towels, etc...one day when it was rainy out, he even gave me a ride on the back of his moped down to a local restaurant so I could get food for the family! The staff really were attentive to our requests and we can't say enough about their professionalism.
Now to the property itself...in a word, WOW! The villa was absolutely breathtaking. It sits up on a hill (a pretty steep one that makes walking up it a bit of a challenge) that has amazing views of the town below and the beach and ocean in the distance. There is a great breeze that flows through the house when the windows are open and really cools it down. After a long hot day in Phuket, a cool breeze feels great! The photos don't lie! The villa is decorated nice and classy with a touch of Thai flare. Be sure to take advantage of the gong to wake everyone up in the mornings. There's plenty of space with 3 full bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. The pool on the rooftop was a really nice touch but can get a bit chilly at night with the breeze.
If you're looking for a great place away from the hustle and bustle of the regular hotel areas, this is your place. I took my girlfriend, sister and parents here (for their 28th wedding anniversary) and everyone was so amazed. Everyone had plenty of space but we also had the luxury of being together. ll in all, I spent less than if I would have rented 2 or 3 hotel rooms each night. What an absolute bargain!
The markets and the craziness of Patong are only a 15 minute tuk tuk ride away. There are plenty of local restaurants that are within walking distance but the villa has a monster kitchen should you feel like cooking on vacation.
Would I go back here? Absolutely. Leaving was so sad...
To the staff - thank you for making our trip one of the best vacations ever!!! We hope to see you again.

Great place to spend a vacation in paradise. Great location, within walking distance to town, everything you need on the property for a great time. Property manager Susan made sure we had everything we needed, helped with arrangements for side tours and other transportation in the area.
