Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 3 October 2026 · How we review hotels
The Sarojin is a retreat for travellers who want calm above all. It sits in lush tropical gardens on a secluded stretch of beach in Khao Lak, with paths that wind past the rooms down to the sand, and guests say you hardly notice the buildings. The staff are the heart of it: reviewers describe service tailored to each guest, and many are on their second or third visit. Breakfast is served all day, the Thai food is praised, and there is a spa as well as a pool where massages can be arranged. The trade-off is distance. Phuket is about an hour by car, and the setting among national parks and rainforest is made for quiet rather than nightlife. Diving trips to the Similan and Surin Islands run only from November to April. Couples and nature lovers who want privacy and attentive service will feel at home; anyone after bars and a busy beach should look elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Khao Lak is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- Pathways wind through immaculately kept gardens down to the beach, and guests say you hardly see the buildings. The words that come up again and again are quiet, peaceful and private, with no loud music around the pool.
- Staff are praised in almost every review for being warm and tailoring the stay to each guest, and the manager makes a point of meeting guests. Many reviewers are on their second or third visit.
Things to Consider
- Phuket is about an hour away by car, and the resort is surrounded by national parks and rainforest. That is the point of a stay here, but anyone hoping for bars, shopping or a quick airport run should plan around it.
- Boat trips to the diving sites of the Similan and Surin Islands only run between November and April, so divers and snorkellers should time their stay accordingly.
Should you book it?
The Sarojin is worth booking for couples looking for a quiet, romantic retreat — but pick somewhere else if you want nightlife and shopping close at hand.
