“My family and I (grandparents, parents, 3 grandchildren) spent a delightful 10 days at Villa Chi Samui in early April. Having experienced Bangkok and Chiang Mai, we were eager for some beachside relaxation and water sports for the children. The villa itself is superbly presented and immaculately maintained with many areas cool and sheltered from the hot April sun. Consequently we were able to eat outside every evening and enjoy the awesome range of Thai food, expertly prepared by Nahm, the villa chef. If I have one small criticism of the villa layout, the pool by the beach is really no more than a plunge pool and the long main pool by the side of the house is somewhat awkwardly positioned. The “twin” villa next door with its beachside pool might be better for families with children. We made several trips to Fisherman’s Village for the beach, water sports and night market, including the Thai New Year celebrations. All the transportation was flawlessly arranged by our excellent host, Jenny, often at short notice. We were treated like royalty by Jenny and her team -I can’t speak highly enough of the care and attention we received from them. It was very humbling. Jenny even got up at 4am on our last morning to ensure the taxi to the airport had arrived on time. We were captivated by the people of this lovely country and all agreed it would be great to return one day with so much of Thailand still to explore.”
