Instead of getting 3 rooms at a hotel by the beach, we decided to just get a pool villa and enjoy some quiet time to ourselves. This was the ideal getaway! My parents are getting old and in their late 60s, my brother arrived with his 1.5 year old boy. It was the perfect spot for 5 adults and a toddler.

The villa was stocked with goodies and a welcome package. On the first day we got adventurous and walked to 7-Eleven for groceries. That proved to be a little too long of a walk for my mum who’s not in the best condition. We proceeded to rent a car for the next few days after. The pool was nice and well maintained! We also requested from Em to have the massage staff come to our villa to do massage for us. It was a real treat. Prices were reasonable.

We also had our cook (her name happens to sound like “Cook” too!) cook for us 1-2 meals per day. It was so convenient especially if you have special diets for health reasons. Her homestyle cook was simple yet delicious. She also purchased papaya salad and mango sticky rice (yum!).

I worked in the late nights (US time) and for most of the time, the WiFi connection was fast and stable, certainly reliable. We all returned from our vacation much more tan than when we started.

Love the surrounding beaches and the restaurants nearby.
Certainly a very comfortable vacation!
