Spectacular views
My partner and our five adult children stayed at the villa for a fortnight in July. The views from the villa are spectacular, the villa itself really lovely, kept very clean and well-equipped, and Jean-Lois, our host, was exceptionally charming and extremely helpful. Just one or two things to be beware of:
- properties in Koh Samui are built on high ground (to get the views). This villa was no exception, which also means you need to hire a car fit for purpose. We had to change up our original rental car the second day we were there for one with a powerful enough engine to make it up and down the very steep hill for the fortnight!
- there is building work going on all over Koh Samui, at all times of the day. I would recommend checking in with your host what the current state of play is regarding any work in close proximity for the period of your stay.
- our arrival instructions were a bit scant, so fyi, when you take the Sandalwood Resort road off the main road, keep going up, and up, and up (remember the need for that powerful engine...) until you see a blue sign for 'The Blue Ginger' restaurant on the left-hand side. Turn left here and continue to the end (you'll feel like you're going to drive off into nowhere!) and there you are...
- finally, watch out for the dogs - lovely, friendly and totally harmless, but we suspect they have a liking for trainers since a whole pair of ours disappeared, one trainer at a time... :)
Enjoy! You can't help but do so with that view!
