Villa Nandana by Elite Havens

The villa has four rooms, but only one feels relatively luxurious, so we gave that one to our parents. With ordinary friends, assigning the rooms could be awkward. Our family had a great week overall, and we paid for many meals there. The private chef cooks very well, and the service staff are lovely. A few things need attention, especially considering how expensive the trip was. The room lock was almost impossible to secure, which raised security concerns. The toilet seat in one of the living room rooms was old and yellow and should be replaced, and the oven grill was rusty. The person who contacts you after booking leaves out a lot, so you have to ask questions yourself. For instance, there’s a coffee machine but no capsules, and if you want to buy them you need to give seven days’ notice. Thanks to all the staff, especially the security staff member we could see patrolling at night and keeping us safe. There are no gates or fences at all between the public beach and the villa.

The villa was excellent, and the food was great. The sunrise and sunset views are priceless, and it was hard to leave. Pla and Na were wonderful hosts who made us feel so comfortable. We really didn’t want to go.

A luxurious, comfortable place for a family stay, and the staff were very responsive. It’s newly renovated and I’d highly recommend it.

The decoration is second to none. This is one of the best villas around Natai beach, and its four bedrooms make it suitable for a family.
