Took a short break at this wonderful villa with family and friends. The location is peaceful and is right on a quiet beach. The entire villa is very well designed so that each bedroom is private. The interiors are opulent and stylishly finished. This is an inside-outside villa, with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors from the reception rooms and lots of exterior space, both shaded and in the sun. The pool is large and excellent for laps, or for relaxing, glass in hand, gazing across at Big Buddah across the bay.
While a villa like this is wonderful to stay in, it is the quality and humour of the Thai staff that brings it fully to life. We were especially lucky to have "Lucky", the maid who looked after us, overseen by "Ae" the manager, looking after anything we wanted to do, day trips, dinner recommendations, massage etc. She organised massage, manicure, pedicure for the ladies at the villa-fab! We did have an issue with our shower, which was blocked and the tray overflowed when we first used. In fairness, we mentioned to "Ae" and I never saw a maintenance guy, but it was fixed before nightfall.
Special word for "Joom" the in-house chef, who created breakfast daily. In the evening she really shone, our favourites from a wide food palette were her wing bean salad and Thai red curry with duck and lychees. She also has a wicked sense of humour!
