Our welcome letter



Lounge area in front of the bed


Make up/computer/cafe bar with espresso coffee machine/refrigerator big enough for a couple of bottles of wine. The refrigerator was stocked with a couple of complimentary beers and a selection of soft drinks which was restocked every day.  We were also given a complimentary cake every day to have with coffee. There are supermarket shops around so we could have stocked the refrigerator with our own choice of food if we wished. Opposite this area was a dressing area with wardrobes, a safe, clothes rack, dressing gowns, slippers and sarong.


Huge bath room including large shower on the left, double vanity bench and toilet on the right
serviced daily


Lounge area in front of the king size bed


Raised ceiling in the villa giving a feeling of space

Our villa number was 2202 and was on the lakeside of the resort

Huge water feature in the middle of the resort


Walkway down to the beachfront


This is the layout of the resort - our villa was the Orange Dot. We did not have very far to walk to reach the restaurants, swimming pool and beach front.


Our villa was not disappointing, having plenty of room for two people and it was in a very convenient area of the resort - not too far from the restaurants and beach.  The air conditioning was very efficient as it needed to be in such hot weather. Mosquitoes were an issue at dusk so insect spray was a must and doors needed to be kept closed at night.

The bed was comfortable with the villa having ample room for two people to move around without getting in each other's way. The lounge was not the most comfortable I have ever sat in but it was not an issue as we were outdoors for most of the time.

Complimentary drinks in the refrigerator was a bonus as was the espresso coffee machine.  There were plenty of power points for my computer equipment and the complimentary wi fi was a big bonus for me. 

Laundry service was also a bonus, not being expensive at 120 Bart for an average load and returned washed, ironed and folded in a basket the following day.

The rooms were very efficiently maintained every day and kept very clean. Towels were changed on request. We were also supplied with beach towels - again changed daily on request.

When we booked our stay at this resort with Luxury Escapes,( more than 12 months ahead) we upgraded to a 10 nights stay in a palm villa, including a package of two 1/2 hour massages per day each, two free evening meals and a cooking class.  

Overall we were very happy with our accommodation and the staff that looked after our villa. I would certainly consider a return trip in the future.
