Grand Villa Luxury Time Phuket

WatergateTook our family of 8 which much excitement as the villa looked so beautiful. It is. But! There’s a few things you should know before you go as a Westerner.1 BRING YOUR OWN WATER.Our water allowance was one bottle per person a day. We had to ask constantly for our “water ration” which felt super unnecessary in a country which is so hot.Had 2 sick family members on the first night with NO ACCESS to drinkable water.2. The staff are always loitering around. This makes privacy impossible and you feel very watched. We even had what looked 2 tradespeople in the loungeroom on the first day. I felt like I was intruding.3. Water from the showers smelt like sewer water which left an awful lingering smell in the bedrooms.4. Bring your own extra food items - ie milk, bread. No mini bar even to buy soft drinks, etc. We asked for a small 5g butter one morning to butter one piece of toast and it was like bartering for gold. Extremely uncomfortable.5. Last day the staff were again loitering in the kitchen area doing a “stock take” of the weed fridge which took forever. No privacy to be had at all while packing and tying to relax before a long flight. Couldn’t this have been done after we actually left? Or not in our presence?6. The mattresses are really thin and not very comfortable.7. Air conditioning. This was constantly turned off in the main living area which made the room very hot. Also constantly turned off by staff in bedrooms. I strongly believe in conserving energy but this display of penny pinching was astonishing.8. Transfers - Asked us to pay an extra 800 to pick us up from our first hotel instead of the airport even though it was closer. We begrudgingly accepted this as technically they were correct in that “airport transfers” were included in the price. Be aware of this.The accomodation itself is lovely and the view is amazing. The pool is awesome.But having to almost beg for water, the terrible showering situation and little privacy totally put a dampener on things.At this price point, I would expect unlimited water and basic food items to be provided. A mini bar would have been a lifesaver.Oh, and being accused of stealing a hairdryer upon leaving was unnecessary. Especially as they “found it” so quickly.If you go with this in mind, the experience would be so much better. I hope this helps someone prepare x

Perfect view, Originally design.

I stayed there for three days.This is a villa where you can stay at a reasonable price if you split the bill with 10 friends.The pool is deep, so be careful if you're drunk, but it was large enough to race in.The building was clean, and they served pineapple fried rice for lunch, which I was hesitant about at first, but it was delicious.

Wonderful villa! A very beautiful and spacious house, high ceilings, a lot of air and light. Wooden furniture, stairs, paintings on the walls, bedroom decoration and many light sources for any time of day - everything is very soulful, I want to live in such a house ❤️ Special thanks for the pool with salted, not chlorinated water.I’d also like to note the cool location, you can conveniently and easily get to any point on the island. For those who do not have their own transport, the villa has a minibus, which is also very convenient. We’ve been relaxing here for the fifth day, and it feels like we’re at home 🤗Thanks to Konstantin and the villa staff for this wonderful experience!

Luxurious villa! Top service - polite and sensitive staff. Breakfasts immerse you in the island atmosphere from day one. The location of the rooms is very convenient, the unique design of each of the bedrooms emphasizes elegant taste. The feeling of space and ocean air, nothing presses you, on the contrary, you want to meditate and enjoy!We stayed as a family of 4 adults and 4 children, everyone was satisfied and happy! We'll be back again!

Luxury villa with excellent service and stunning sea views. modern design, equipped gym and excellent swimming pool overlooking the island. ||Thanks to the high quality of service, you feel very comfortable. …

Outstanding place to have as home base with a support team, chef, driver, and coordinator.

For our 7 people big family vacation we have choosen the Phuket Sandbox. It is by now the only place in Asia where you don’t have to go to a long Quarantine. |This villa is very well suited for a larger group. …

Wonderful stay at Constantin’s place, they were very accommodating, Mimi was a star, we didn’t lift a finger to organise whatever was required, even with covid. Nice crisp modern design and fittings, everything you need really. We stayed with 4 kids and 6 adults and it was awesome. Jojo’s Thai cooking was really nice, great seafood.

A great place to relax with a large group! Wonderful owner, great staff. Amazing views from the terraces and pool!
