Beautiful villas - you will not be disappointed
Review Submitted: December 3, 2008
Date of Stay: November 2008
We arrived at Waterside and were allocated villa B1 which is on the first level of villas with beautiful views out over the bay.
The accomodation is spacious and airy and has all the facilities you would expect and more-Tanya has thought of everything and works really hard to ensure your stay is a pleasure. Roy the driver is a lovely chap who can take you anywhere you wish to go in Phuket in the luxury minibus- he will happily wait for you to shop, dine etc and his service level is wonderful. We visited Phuket Town to dine out one evening in a nice restaurant and also we went to Patong for the night to shop, dine and generally to experience the lively side of Phuket - Patong is approx 40 mins drive away and costs about £20 return with Roy.
There is not too much surrounding the accomodation in terms of nightlife or bars, it is for those seeking quiet, tranquility.
There is a hotel nearby - just a couple of mins walk along the beach where you can have fine dining if you wish as well as wines or our preference was to walk a few mins further along the beach to the local Thai beach bar (the one with the flashing lights in the sea!!) which served wonderfully fresh food inc seafood at very reasonable prices. We ate lobster, fresh crab, fresh fish as well as tradional thai chicken & veg dishes and the most we paid was about £20 per head inc drinks. Expect to pay double that in the Novotel!.
There are many options for sightseeing in Phuket and Tanya happily advises you on the best guides and companys to travel with. We went to Phi Phi Island and to 'The Beach' where the film was made! which is a must for snorkelling and beaches. Diving is also great at Maya Beach albeit a bit on the pricey side - we paid approx £80 pp for a 2 dive trip. Also recommended is the elephant trekking and white water rafting on the Eco tour - a fab day out but be prepared to get wet!.
All in all you will not be disappointed with the villas, service or the island of Phuket. The people are very welcoming - they make you feels like VIP's and the villa facilities are fantastic.
We were wowed by the bathrooms, comfy beds, kitchen facilities, spaciousness, plasma screens and DVD library if you fancy a quiet night in.
We really didn't want to leave and will certainly be visiting again - I have recommended the villas to lots of friends and business colleagues - which I wouldn't do if I didn't think they would enjoy the place.
Hope you enjoy as much as we did - book with confidence
