Is Jasmin Garden suitable for children?
First you should now that in Thailand we love children and that Jee is particularly crazy with babies! We are equipped with cradled, baby chairs and we never charge for children under 3.
Then you know that we are not located on a sand beach and we don't have a swimming pool. So if you have young children between 2 to 8 you may prefer a more accessible resort, although the nearest sand beach is really not far. If your children are a bit older and they are used or willing to snorkel, play paddles etc, then they will enjoy Jasmin Garden very much, we speak from experience!
How many stars has Jasmin Garden?
Zero! Jasmin Garden has luxurious bungalows and unique service but we are not interested in becoming a 4 or 5 stars hotel. We will never boast a swimming pool in front of the sea nor a fancy cocktail bar and we treat both our team and our guests as part of our friends and family.
Jasmin Garden is our home, we live here with simplicity and we hope you will feel yourself at home and share with us authentic moments!
What is your cancellation policy?
We are very small and any last minute cancellation is a real threat for our very sustainability. We therefore ask for pre-payment of your room at the latest 30 days before arrival with two exceptions : 15 days only during the low season (May-October) and we take only firm booking between Christmas and new year.
If you need to modify your booking dates after you have paid we will explore with you what is possible according to our availabilities.
Cancellations after these payment deadlines are never refundable.
Is Jasmin Garden "pet friendly"?
Yes we are. We have a friendly dog and a cat which are best friends. If your pet is clean and friendly it is welcome!
