The staff, the breakfast, the beauty.

Location, language barrier, inconsistent wifi, difficult to watch TV

Lovely villa, lots of space, good value. Friendly and helpful staff

Lots of tiny plastic water bottles for drinking water which is unnecessarily environmentally unfriendly!

We were with a family of 9 members and had a great time at Villa in the Garden. This is really an awesome villa to spend a quality holiday. all facilities are there and in reality it looks even better than on pictures. JA and her team gave us unforgettable memories and were always ready to help us out on request. delicious breakfast every morning, laundry and airport pick up/drop off are included. this holiday was far beyond our imagination. Fred and JA, thank you very much

nothing, all is perfect

gorgeous villa with huge master suites, amazing pool, excellent location with local shops and restaurants just a few minutes walk and best of all excellent service.

Three generations of our family have just enjoyed a wonderful stay at this luxury villa just ten minutes walk from Surin beach with its stunning sunsets. We all made good use of the beautiful big pool shaded with lush vegetation. The younger members of the family stayed in the four bedroom garden villa while Nanna and Pops occupied the master bedroom in the main villa. Each morning we were treated to an excellent breakfast with plenty of choice of the usual British items plus Asian specialities. There was ample space for all ten of us with four seating areas in the garden plus the sun beds. The main villa also had a downstairs shower and loo. Just round the corner were three small supermarkets and many small restaurants and spas. We made good use of the spa room in the garden and the one in the main villa with visiting therapists from one of the local spas. Mr E, our friendly local tuk-tuk driver drove us to Bang-Tao beach on several occasions and also organised a long tail boat trip for us where we visited Banana Beach and snorkelled near a tiny island. The grandchildren also enjoyed a morning at the nearby elephant sanctuary.

Traffic noise from the nearby road could be heard in the bedroom in the main villa so if you are a light sleeper it would be best to sleep in the garden villa. A file with local information, eg. a map of the wider area, details about the villa (we only found the outside shower on day four), recommended companies for boat trips etc. would have been helpful, though we were able to organise most things via the internet and with the help of the villa staff.
