We have just returned from a week staying at Villa Manola on Koh Samui.
The manager was there to meet us and explain everything we needed to know. The staff are fantastic and looked after us in every way, from arranging transport as needed to buying all our provisions. Toon is an excellent cook and we all agreed that her meals at the villa were some of the best during our stay. The Villa was exactly as in the pictures, beds were very comfortable and the whole villa was immaculate. The pool was wonderful and plenty big enough for all 6 of us to be in, the sun deck had lots of sunbeds too. Being located just outside of Chawang, we were a bit concerned at first but it was so easy to go into the town and we had the advantage of not being overlooked by anyone which some of the beach villas were. Dr frogs restaurant within walking distance and was great for a change.
Thoroughly recommend the whole experience.
One thing you must do is to visit the Marine National park, the Villa Manager (very helpful and knowledgeble) to arrange a private yacht charter as it means that you have the freedom to do your own thing rather than be with the crowds of which there were a lot. It was a fantastic day out well worth the extra money.
We will return next year.
