Close to the main pier, the villa is isolated from the main street. However, that guarantees some serenity at the rocky shore where the villa is based upon. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is clean, by island/beach standard. The hammock at the front porch is a great feature. The AC is strong and there are plenty of cable channels to select from if you use the two remote controls properly. The wifi is stable too. The only downside is the party music from the private residence nearby during both nights of my stay. I asked the European staff about this and they said that there's nothing they could do because the folks living there pretty much own the island. So it's best not to start a quarrel with them. It's Thailand, man. I also booked a snorkeling tour with the reception (which is the bar/restaurant) and the tour was fine and on time. Chris, the young British guy, recommended the curry at a restaurant on the main street called Banana--good and cheap food! Many Europeans stay here and it's easy to make new friends at the bar/outdoor patio while sipping smoothies and beer.More
