We booked SeaLife Villa for one week, via amazinglanta.com. We try not to be bias but only to share some of our likes & dislikes (personal preference) during our stay:

Likes:
1) Spacious, quiet and lots of privacy.
2) 2 air-con bedrooms on 2nd floor overseeing ocean & Sunset.
3) Living room equipped with TV, DVD, Mini-Compo and WiFi.
4) Kitchen equipped with toaster, microwave oven, fridge, kettle, stove for cooking simple meal.
5) Both bedrooms on 2nd floor has attached bathroom (one with long bathtub)

Dislikes
1) Villa floor was sticky when first check-in. Bedrooms, wardrobes & kitchen cabinets not aired and smelled stale.
2) Stained Pillows. Bedlinens & pillows smelled too. Beds were hard too.
3) Pool looks lovely on website but actually it is a tiny one measuring about 3m X 2m, good only for dipping but not for swimming.
4) Villa is on up slope, about 15 minutes’ walk to main road where restaurants and shops are located. Can be hot to walk in the day and dark in the night since there is no street lights.
5) Inconvenient for families with old/aged guests and babies in prams since villa is out of way to shops/restaurants. Villa is also not near beach at all.
6) Though villa is equipped with basic utensils but no proper storage for utensils. Cups, glasses, plates, bowls, forks & spoons are also mismatching. Poor quality spoons. Utensils look like leftovers by different guests, etc. Some electrical appliances smell too.
7) Ground floor bedroom is non-air conditioned but with ceiling fan and can get very stuffy and hot in the room.
8) Only one slow speed ceiling fan in the living room and can get very hot & stuffy in the day.
9) No mosquito net installed by windows or doors. So in the night, when all windows and doors were shut/closed to prevent mosquitoes from entering, the villa was hot & stuffy (except the 2 air-con bedrooms on 2nd floor).
10) Need to rent “tut-tut” to better move around (about 400 baht a day or lesser for longer rental period)

The villa can be better if:
1. Better maintained.
2. Well cleaned and aired before guests check-in.
3. Installed with mosquito net on windows and doors so that these can be left open in the night to air the villa. If villa is well aired, it is actually quite nice and cool in doors.
4. Better storage for kitchen equipments/utensils. Better matching bowls & plates and better quality spoons.
5. Since rental of villa is by week and stay can be long, would be great if also equipped with washing machine for convenience.
6. Suitable for family with teenage children but not younger children or older guests.
