This place is amazing. The pictures are for real but they really don't do it justice. All the bedrooms are very nice, a few are really special. There are many places to relax whether it be the pools, the great room, the cabana, the outdoor living rooms around the pools, its just lovely in every way. The decor is beautiful and the appointments are luxury in every way. The best review I can offer is that the villa is extremely clean. I am a clean freak and I was very comfortable here. The level of daily cleaning here is equal to or better than any hotel I've ever stayed in including the One and Only, Four Seasons, and the original Peninsula. Don't get me wrong, those are all stellar, this is certainly on par.
Aside from the home itself the staff and service level are second to none. Breakfast is served every morning at the time you'd like with a buffet and made to order items of a wide variety. All of the refrigerators (in kitchens and all bedrooms and coolers next to the pools for easy access) are stocked with whatever beverage you could want and if its not there they are glad to get it for you. The restocking seems to be done by magic as we did a good job of trying to empty the coolers and fridges but they somehow always were filled though we never saw it happen. Lunch and dinner can be ordered with short notice and the food at this villa was the best I had on the trip. There is a charge for everything except breakfast but the price is about the same you would pay at the market, not like resort prices at all.
The staff is awesome. Gorn and her crew attend to everything you need. They are glad to arrange excursions, get special items from the market, wake you up when its time to go to the beach, whatever you ask. Of course they are excellent cooks but they are also great baristas glad to make you an espresso, cappuccino, or iced coffee whenever you want. Have a headache after a long night? Have them fixed you up a fresh iced coconut and sip it in the shade while they make you some breakfast. The drivers are great too. They are always ready to take you wherever you want to go in the mini-bus that the house keeps on site. they gave us great recommendations on restaurants, beaches, and even pulled over and told us when and where to get out and take a great picture.
We were a group of 11 guys staying for a week for a birthday party but the house would work equally great for three to four families with children. Enjoy!
