This hotel is simply the best in Thailand (and one of the top in the world), and this is coming from somebody who has stayed at dozens of resorts in Thailand including Amanpuri, Rosewood, Ritz Carlton in Krabi, Four Seasons, etc. Why? Because of a variety of factors. First, the villas are in their own league. While other hotels have private pools and villas, they are stacked on each other, so you hear your neighbors, sometimes see them, etc. Not at Trisara, where you truly feel like you are at a private residence. The private villa pools are the largest I've ever seen at a resort anywhere in the world including Cabo, Bali (just stayed at Raffles Bali), Langkawi, etc. The interior decor is very Thai but in a clean, modern way, just enough Thai to make it feel extremely authentic but not over the top. And while the interior size is very impressive, its the outdoors of each villa/room that really makes this hotel shine. Second, the service is exemplary. Everyone will know your name, offer to get you buggy service, remember what you liked at your meals or what table you preferred. This points to a resort/hotel that is being run exceptionally well, and in this case Jeremy Harris, the manager, does an outstanding job. You'll see him around the hotel greeting guests and making sure everything is run top notch.
