Luxurious Accomodation
Pros: The villa I stayed at is great! It was so comfortable, aesthetically appealing and relaxing sometimes it was hard to leave to go play elsewhere. The staff was very polite, warm, friendly, kind and very helpful. I was pampered. The restaurant food was gourmet. Prices around 250 baht for soup and higher for other meals i.e. 500 baht. The swimming pool is beautiful but only about 4ft (1.2 m) deep.
Cons: I wish the room had a full length mirror (i.e. in the bathing area). It is isolated from other activities. It does not have a nice sandy beach or good place nearby for ocean swimming (was dirty water). It is not within walking distance of other things such as a good beach, multiple restaurants, shopping. There are about 4 nearby outdoor restaurants. Have to use their complimentary shuttle that only goes to Chaweng Beach Road and has limited drop off/pickup times (1pm,5pm / 1:30pm, 5:30pm), or a Taxi (250baht one way) or rent a vehicle. Also it would have been extremely useful if they provided a service helping the guests determine what to do during their stay. To do this use one of the many tour booking companies located on Chaweng Beach road. Chaweng beach road has many restaurants, bars, shopping and walking distance to beaches/swimming in the ocean.
Overall a great place to stay, just be prepared to pay for transportation or be limited to a their complimentary shuttle service when ready to play around Koh Sumui. The only reason I would not stay here again is because of its inconvenient location to other activities (I am too chicken to ride a motorcycle and too cheap to pay 500 baht round trip each time I want to go anywhere).
