What our guests say about us

We had a fantastic time. The Tamarind Suite is wonderful - we felt so much at home we didn't want to leave…We're now totally chilled & we've got the "sounds" to take home too! All of our friends would love it here & we'll be recommending it to them. Many thanks. Denise & Nick Doff 06/01/01

A great satisfying experience; especially before a flight.
Ben, U.K. 06/01/2001

It was a great feeling - massage, raining in rain wood, nice relaxing music.
Munich. 05/01/2001

What a wonderful place this is. Octavio was a perfect home away from home for our family. Everything was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I hope we can come again some time. It was a great break from KL and a memorable New Year's Eve.

To everyone, thank you for a wonderful stay…for our 10-year anniversary, X-mas & New Year 2001. The house - Rock 'n Wood - was my house!! So comfortable & relaxing. You were all very attentive & pampering. Everything was taken care of, so we could relax. The best vacation I've ever had!
Cathy and Patman Donnelly, U.S.A. 03/01/01

A magical, superbly relaxing place away from the mayhem of modern life. The massages are amazing, the staff superb and the location tranquility itself. We also stayed at the retreat - a perfectly peaceful combination.
Simon Munk & Caramel Quinn, U.K. 26/12/2000

We spent 6 nights in the Pond House and we really don't want to leave! We indulged in spa treatments every day and had 3 dinners at Betelnut. This was the perfect, relaxing end to an eight-week trip in Asia. Such a beautiful place! We even loved all the rain… Richard Carter & Mary-Ann Walsh, C.A., U.S.A. 16/12/00

The best holiday for a very long time, the most relaxing ever. For bird-watchers, it's paradise! The spa is great, the staff friendly. Absolutely fabulous, great architecture - great concept.
Blandine & Arthur, French & British 14/12/00

I don't know about revitalized…much more like rebuilt.
Julian, U.K. 12/2000

I don't think there is anyone in the world who couldn't benefit from the peace, serenity and excellent service that the Tamarind provides. I can say with complete confidence that I would travel across the world to return to the Tamarind. Thanks to all!
Kathy Divinsky, Santa Barbara, CA, U.S.A. 10/12/00

I don't think I can begin describing the pleasure I have experienced here at the Tamarind Retreat. Let's just say I was a wee bit close to losing it when our boat to Koh Tao was rained out & me & my luggage were soaking wet. But, miraculously, there was one spot left at the Tamarind (the luxurious Wind House), & my friend and I were saved. Soooo.. we pampered ourselves at the spa & were pampered by the wonderful Tamarind staff - needless to say, I am coming back & recommending it to everyone & anyone I know! Thanks
Elissa, Santa Barbara, U.S.A.

 

 

We came, we saw and we fell in love with Tamarind Retreat! It is truly something and some place different and it sure beats the regular tourist stuff of beaches and sunbathing. The spa was fabulous. We've covered so many in our job, but this one is particularly the cream of the crop. I fell asleep right in the middle of the massage which was good for me but for the job…uh-oh! Thank you for the excellent hospitality, taking care of us so much so that we hardly felt homesick. Hats off to "Defter" and your crew for putting your talents & inspiration together and being so magnanimous in sharing it all with us. Till we meet again perhaps next time, unofficially, take care and blessings to all.
Janalin, Singapore. 8/12/00

To Shelley, Philippa, Ben, Detlef and the huge team who gave their time, energy, creativity, spirit, smiles and care to all of us and all our guests. Our wedding was more fabulous than we could ever have dreamed. Every moment was magical and we look forward to reliving it in the days and years to come. We will be back, but promise it will be a regular weekend holiday! Thank you all for making our special day so unforgettable. Lots of love.
Rachel & Matt Millard. 30/11/00

Wonderful place, made friends with all the mosquitoes - Named a few! Best people around, and cutest froggies! Hope to make it back here again. Cheers to Philippa and thanks. Hate to return to civilization.
Helen Hon, Malaysia. 27/10/00

Rain schmain! I love this place…5 marvellous days of nothing but rest and relaxation…The cats were wonderful company…Thanks to everyone!
Dave Bishop, Calgary, Canada. 23/11/00

I came last year. I stay this year and I hope I can come next year…Thanks for all.
15/10/00, Claudia Saenger, Germany.

Thanks so much for looking after us so well! We enjoyed the most special day - our wedding- thanks to Tamarind's superb organisation. Monika's Ocean View was the best home away from home! Cheers.
25/09/00, Amanda & Glen Kissell, Australia.

What an oasis! Staying between 2 boulders in the Rock n' Wood was a unique experience - such a beautiful place! Will be back. And thank you Detlef, Philippa, Shelley, Thai staff for your smiles and care!
09/00, Dana, New Zealand.

Happiness is a lemongrass oil and steam! Can't wait to return in December.
14/08/00 Lyn & Morris.

The most beautiful retreat - inspirational. A lovely end to a long and interesting trip to Thailand.
13/08/00, Margriet & Bill (Matthew and Abigail too).(U.K.)

We spent eight wonderful days! We fell in love with the Pond House and we'll be back for sure…The Spa (Springs) is also great! See you next year!
18/07/00, David & Irina, Venezuela.

Mmmmm… perfect for deep relaxation after a month of meditation in the mountains of Bhutan. Thank you for your attention to detail and aesthetic. Divinely decadent!
Toby, Santa Fe, U.S.A. 12/2000
