Lovely villa with all the mod cons you could hope for to set you up for a very relaxing holiday
We were highly influenced in booking this villa by all the previous positive reviews - rest assured they are accurate.
The listing description was totally as we found the villa.
John and Martin could not have possibly been more wonderful hosts. They offered to arrange transfers for us from our previous hotel in Pattaya. They were there to meet us when we arrived (and the villa was very generously stocked with a welcome pack to get through the first night until we could shop the next day), and explained how things worked (eg Satellite "expat TV" with a plethora of English language options, internet, jacuzzi operation etc). They also recommended the driver service of a friend of theirs, Wille, who was extremely professional and organised all our travel arrangements for us at prices equal to what you could find on the streets, and he spoke excellent English.
The villa comes with a mobile phone so you can call John/Martin/Wille, or order take away (which can be delivered). Very handy for any overseas visitors who don't want to incur roaming charges.
John & Martin were close enough that if we needed them, they'd pop over in no time, but otherwise they left us to ourselves. Once we called for advice on how to get our daughter's ear infection best attended to. How's this for going the extra mile - Martin took my husband down on his moped to a chemist to pick up some antibiotics!
We'd had 9 days in the eyebrow raising town of Pattaya, so the purpose of this villa location for us was a quiet wind-down before we flew home.
It was the perfect choice. Most days we hung around the villa for the day, swimming in the pool, reading books or watching a movie, then called Wille and headed into town about 5ish to check out one of the night markets and have dinner.
The villa has 2 cats who I'm pleased to say survived my 9 year old son stalking, picking up & playing with at every opportunity.
Cicada market was great option of cheap food stalls that you felt safe eating (we're pretty cautious about eating street food when travelling, but this was clearly clean & hygenic). Also the night market. We ate at Bird Chilli - located within the night market itself. Great seafood. Vana Nava Water Park Hua Hin was a hit with the whole family - we spent nearly a whole day there. go on a week day.
Thank you John & Martin for such a lovely visit. We felt very welcome. See you next time we're in Hua Hin!
