I had my wedding at villa La Lagune in March 2014, and hired out the entire premises for a few nights. Located 10 minutes’ drive from Lamai, the villa is set on a quiet beach on exquisite grounds. This private villa gives you all that you need – lots of room, modern facilities and fantastic staff. What enticed us to the villa for our wedding reception was the large lawn area. We had 60 guests attend, yet the area could have easily catered for double the amount. Grounds The grounds were sensational with staff maintaining the grass and surrounding plants well, especially in such a dry season. The tennis court was good and used a bit during our stay. There is not gym or workout equipment, but we just went for a walk/run down the streets nearby. The tide was quite far out unfortunately leaving quite an ugly look of seaweed, but it didn’t smell nor did it ruin the overall look of the venue. Rooms The rooms were modern and spacious, with fantastic air-conditioning and comfortable beds. They have been designed well with each room having special features, such as an outdoor shower or jacuzzi. Lighting in the room was really good, with large windows to allow natural sunlight to seep through and bright lights (that could be dimmed) during the night. The only downfall we experienced with the rooms is that the hot water ran out if we all had showers within one or two hours. The rooms are getting a little worn, with mould/rust in places, however it is not significant nor did it affect the cleanliness of the room. Staff Villa manager Khun James was truly exceptional. I cannot speak more highly of her efforts to ensure we enjoyed our stay. From helping me source material for the wedding and organise ironing and steaming, through to keeping the villa in top shape throughout our stay, Khun James can only be described as amazing. Other members of the team include a chef, security and other assistants. Having assistance 24/7 was unusual thought and we sometimes felt uncomfortable and tried to help out where we could. The meals the chef cooked up were sensational. We tried numerous dishes during our stay, from curries to salads, prawns to satays and every dish was truly delicious. The chef served up some of the freshest and authentic dishes we had during our stay in Thailand. Phenomenal. The breakfast was also a decent spread with lots of options and it was all very fresh. Ingredients for all food apart from breakfast are an additional charge, but we found this very cheap and reasonable. Management The negative of our stay (well leading up to our stay) was dealing with Samui Villas and Homes. The staff we dealt made arranging things and getting information very challenging and not very pleasant. Only two weeks before we were due to arrive did they have a new staff member Oliver who was a breath of fresh air. He was extremely friendly and helpful. A staff member form Samui Villas and Homes also came to me on the morning of my wedding to go through the villa with me to note any existing damage etc. Not the day or time to be doing this, especially when I checked in the day before. Overall Overall our experience was fantastic. The staff, grounds, rooms and food was a truly memorable experience. Is the $2500 AUD per night price tag suitable? Maybe not, but we enjoyed our stay. It should be noted that the minimum night stay is three nights plus there's an extra charge for having a wedding.
