Laemsingh Villa 3

villa was beautiful, the rooms very comfortable but above all the staff were outstanding in their kindness and co operation to this Australian family.

Location : On the west side of phuket between Laemsing & Surin beach. About 30-40 mins drive from the airport and Central festival shopping center, 15 mins away from Bang Tao Beach. Rooms : Rooms on the G/f and 1/f were very nice + roomy with great sea view. The master bedroom (only room) on the 1/f is in fact the best in the villa with panoramic sea view and a sizeable balcony so be prepared to run for it before others. As the front of the villa is facing north, 1/f floor balcony is probably the only place indoor for the amazing sunset. Rooms on the LG/f were however not as nice because of the sewage problem that was giving out some bad smell. The lemongrass fragrance oil helped a bit but I think the villa really has to sort this out soon. Apart from that - all good. Pools : The infinity pool is in fact bigger than it looks compared to the pics shown on the internet. There is also a jaccuzi pool as well. Personnel : A group of nice and helpful staffs were always there to entertain your needs during the stay. Chef will cook for you at your request so all of us were pretty much spoiled. Special thanks to the 2 live-in maids - "Kale" and "Ian" (not sure the spellings) who were very sincere and helpful with a warm smile on the face all the time. Security : People usually worry about the security of vacation villa rental because after all it is not a stared hotel operated by large organization... Over there 1 less concern as all 5 villas are pretty secured and with 24 hrs security at the main entrance (the only entrance) with gates only open under surveillance. Others : The villa is 5 yrs old according to the manager. Some minor maintenance on the exterior wall and deck were required but all in all it is still a very nice villa with great views. The villa looks exactly the same as the pictures shown on web sites so nothing tricky.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Laemsingh 3. Amp, the chef, Boy (the driver) and the 2 maids were very warm, hospitable and helpful. Fantastic thai food, splendid views and truly warm comfortable Thai service.
