Villa Ananda

Guest Reviews

• Villa Shanti is by far our favorite beach front villa. We live in Thailand and have traveled all across southern Thailand and no other villa beats this one. The pool is always the perfect temperature even on raining days. The garden and landscaping perfectly manicured. The food served up by P' Toon is authentic tasting. The service by staff members is on par of a 5-star resort and not to mention the most epic sunset everyday! We will be back again very soon. Khun Dang is a dream Villa Manager! Attentive, professional and just a delight. She even baked up cookies and delicious banana bread up for my children daily.

• This is a perfect trip ever. This villa is huge and has the quiet environment and excellent view! The sunset is what we called "wonderful". My two little girls love this villa so much, especially the lovely team. You guys are nice, kind and taking care of us so carefully. We are very lucky to spend those days with you. We do not need to think about any thing (like what toe eat, go out for something interesting). Just wake up, have breakfast, play/stay in the sofa to read books, have lunch, massage, swimming, sunset on the beach, dinner, another lay in the sofa and go to bed. We have a total relaxation vacation. Hope we will arrange another trip here. We love the food so so much!!!

• I just wanted to thank you and your team for making our stay in Phuket amazing. The service that we received pre arriving to Thailand from Maya was amazing. Any request that was sent was answered quickly and thoroughly. This service from Maya has continued to be first class since we arrived, from the welcome at the airport and then continuous questions she has answered for us thereafter. In addition to the villa the team that look after the villa managed by Dang are just amazing. No request is too much trouble and are very attentive to the individual needs of the other 3 guests that I invited to share the Claudia's (my wife) 40th Birthday celebrations. The quality of food and service is second to none and I cannot thank Dang and the team enough. Thank you all for an amazing job done - we will be back.
