Great view and location but past it's hey days

We stayed for a long weekend to celebrated our twin daughter's first birthday. The villa has an unparallelled location. It fronts into a long quiet stretch of beach for walks and sunrise/sunset moments and it is a stone throw from nice restaurants. We frequented Fisherman's Village and Cheong Mon beach which were all less than a 10 minute drive away. Don't think you can find a sweeter spot than this. That said, there are some home(villa) truths that one should be aware of too. All the photos of the villa are all posted by the Management Co. In reality, the villa's interior esp bedroom, cabinetary, furniture and drapery are all very dated. With it comes old faucet issues and shower drainage problems. It's layout is also maze like interwoven by garden and individual pavillions. Not for you if you are one for modern, open villa layouts. We had young babies and the previous reviews all raved about the team which is why we considered this villa to begin with. Our experience was quite the contrary. The villa is marketed with a live in team of four, a villa manager, Am, a cook and another 2 staff. Apart from breakfast and turn down service, they were no where to be seen and we had to specifically look for help when we need it. They seemed reluctant and displeased each time we asked for something. There was no offical check in briefing as to where everything went, explanation on laundry, use of electrical appliances, meal planning, etc. The live in team was also the ' grumpiest' I have ever encountered over my holidays and career in hospitality. For example, we decided to bake the babies a cake, we did not ask for help but Am offered so we said Yes. When the cook came in to help, she out on some real attitude in kitchen. There was definitely something wrong with the whole team. If one has small children and needs lots of support, there are lots of options out there for sea fronting villas, especially if you are going to fly all the way in and fork out over U$1000 a night, you may not want negative vibes looming over your holiday.

Great Villa

Just came back from Samui and had a fab time at Ban Haad Sai. We were 11 adults and would like to say the common areas of the villa are FAB! The beach is at your doorstep and the location of the property is great. The management or owners of the villa need to look into the bathrooms very carefully as they smell a LOT. Am and her team were very good.

Perfect Relaxation for Large Groups

We stayed three nights with two other families, all with young children. In total we had 6 adults, 5 toddlers (3 to 5 years) and a baby. The villa with 6 bedrooms was perfect for us and the luxury of the private spacious grounds really made it a perfect getaway. There are also the indoor and outdoor dining which seats 14 people, a big living room, a TV room, plenty of outdoor lounging spaces and deckchairs, a pool, a kitchen and a gym! The villa even provides two person tandem kayaks for some adventure. Maybe the best thing for me was Am and her onsite team that kept the villa well maintained and provided Thai meals for us. It really made it the complete luxury experience to have a team personally waiting on you only! The beach is literally at your doorstep and the soft sand is best along the stretch. Not sure if they chose the villa for this location, or if there's a team to maintain the beach in front of the villa too! It's a public beach so others will be sharing the space, and giving you envious looks as they see where you're staying. If travelling with multigenerational family or a big group of friends, there really is no better accommodation for the price. The villa provides all that you need to simply relax and laze the day away along the beach. Exactly the reason why you're in Koh Samui.

Awesome villa and great staff!!

We stayed 4 nights at Ban Haad Sai and organized our engagement party there. We used all the rooms available. While the weather was not always on our side, the villa is absolutely fantastic! The beach is great and almost deserted, the pool, hammock and relaxing area in the garden are divine and the staff is lovely, very efficient and super discreet, so don't worry about privacy! As some travellers must be wondering (I know I did!), the airport is too far away to bother you and this will definitely not be a problem. We are very picky when it comes to sound nuisance and there is nothing we could fault at all. Location is great! A few minutes away by car from the Fishermen's village and from Chaweng on the other side. The team can organise a car for you or you can very easily rent a car or motorbike. Next to the villa (sharing a wall) is a little hotel called Secret Garden where you can easily go to grab some food (accessible directly from the beach). They have excellent live music on Sunday evenings! The sound system works very well and is ideal for pool parties! The kayaks are a great touch! All in all, a fantastic experience and we cannot wait to come back!

Awesome villa and staff - we lucked out!

We were a group of 13 young adults and 1 child and everything went smoothly from holiday arrangements with Luxury Retreats, to our stay at the villa. Luxury Retreats were very helpful with all the planning and were always proactive in asking me how they can help plan the holiday. Everything was done professionally and information given were very clear. On arrival at the villa, the management (Am and co) were very smiley, welcoming and helpful. We felt extremely spoilt with the attentiveness and service we received! Rooms were nice - all were similar sizes and standards. There were 7 rooms, all with their own bathrooms. The rooms at the back did not have wifi. There were also 2 lounges and the pool was a good size. The beach was just a few steps away. The home cooked food was delicious and ingredients very reasonably priced where all receipts were shown - from experience with other villas, there is usually a huge mark up, so I was pleasantly surprised. Am was also very helpful in organising our day trips and transportation - even helping us find the best deal! The staff cleaned our rooms twice a day with fresh towels each time. Next to the villa was a bar/ restaurant and 7-11 and money exchange was a 5 minute walk away. I liked the friendliness and professionalism of Am and co, the open space of the villa and the quiet, nearly private beach we had. Also liked the convenience of being able to choose our menu each day for lunch and dinners. There was a small problem with plumbing i believe as there was a smell in one of the bedrooms when the air conditioning was on. There were also a lot of mosquitoes although the villa does have coils and sprays to help chase it away. All in all I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone.

A fabulous place for a family holiday

The facilities were first class, the staff very friendly and attentive. The food prepared by the in-house chef was nearly all Thai and every meal was enthusiastically enjoyed by young and old! The pool was ideal and fully utilised, the beach just OK. Cayaks great to have. .

Best villa experience ever in Koh Samui

I don't know where to start. It was beyond our expectations. Pictures could be deceiving but not in our case. Villa was even better than the pictures. Layout is fantastic. Quality of furniture, bathroom fittings and cleanliness was impeccable. Pool was really nice as well. It came to a point that we were thinking of buying the villa and just move to Koh Samui. I am usually very lazy to give feedback but Luxury Retreats and the team deserves it. Kathleen, Tanya and the staff at the villa were amazing. No complains. In fact, the activities coordinator at Koh Samui, Pat and Andy really helped us out. We didn't have to go anywhere. They were always available and communication was straight forward. This was one of our best experiences ever. I rather stay at a villa like Ban Haad Sai instead of a hotel. It wasn't commercial and infact very personalized. Loved the music system and it's ability to operate from the dining and living room. Great job guys. Well done. - Ameen M, Singapore
