Villa Cattleya 5B

My wife and I stayed in C5B 2- Bedroom Villa with 2 close friends of ours. I'll give you the honest pro's and con's of staying here at L'Orchidee Residences. We stayed for 6 days in the month of June, 2015. Perfect location, North end of Patong beach, great to walk to the beach or through the city/ night life. Tuk Tuk/ Taxi drivers have a hard time understanding how to take you back to the L'Orchidee residences even with the little map and address we gave them, which is crazy to me but if you just mention Novotel hotel on hill, you'll get back just fine. Pro's: Very specious, beautiful view of the beach, friendly staff that speaks good enough English to get by and communicate, daily maid service, free transportation to/from airport, dish tv to watch live sports or movies, Fast free WIFI. Not very many con's: Large construction building right in front of the L'Orchidee Residences which took away from some of the view, a villa down the hill in front of us had 2-3 dogs that would bark at everything including some early mornings, had an A/C leak but they took care of it immediately. We went during off season so the community/ recreation center was basically shut down but you would probably spend most of your time on the beach or in the city anyways. Overall, the people of Thailand are amazing and go well beyond the normal call of service. We would definitely rent out the villa again.

Cattelya C5b perfect for one or two couples. One week was not long enough. Location was excellent, close to beach, bars, restaurants, shopping etc. Daily maid service at nominated time, all staff very efficient and friendly. Stunning views, but very quiet as away from hustle and bustle. Immediate shuttle service available, just a phone call away, saves walking up or down hill. Private pool beautiful, villa had everything, and if not, just ask and you will have it. Hired resort boat for day to Phi Phi, staff were wonderful. Great experience, fully recommend L'Orchidee to everyone.
