“Unbelievable Experience” This is Villa is truly amazing from the Villa itself, to the amazing staff who made the stay truly unbelievable. We will be back for sure and cannot recommend Crystal Villas highly enough

“Location, comfort and good people...” Three of my friends and I stayed at the Haadrin Seaview Villa during the first week of Feb. In the process of selecting this particular Villa I reviewed a number of other options but kept on coming back to this as one of the best from a location vs value for money proposition. Andy and Yuko were very responsive both via email and text messages initially thus the booking of the accommodation was a breeze. One has a tendency to make certain assumptions via photos prior to actually seeing a property and in this case the Villa exceeded my expectations. It has three equally sized bedrooms in the upper lounge area that is open plan with the kitchen. This in turn opens up onto a large deck that faces South so gets the sun all day. There is plenty of seating and a hammock so 90% of the time at the Villa was spent in this space. The upstairs bathroom was also in excellent condition (hot water). Downstairs there is a Jacuzzi that comfortably sits two (three at a push). We mainly used this as a plunge pool to cool down - great feature to have. There is also a secondary bathroom downstairs that comes equipped with a washing machine. So bottom line is the Villa itself is fantastic. The other major attraction are the owners. Both andy and Yuko are very friendly and are available at all times to help out if needed. Location is also critical. The house is 5 min by scooter to Haad Rin (fortunately far enough away from the crowds) and 2 min to a 7/11 that has an aTM. There is also a scooter hire place directly across the road. Of course nothing is perfect so it is important to note that the house is high up on the hill over looking Samui. The walk from the main Haad Rin road to the house is up a number of steps. Once you have a scooter you can get 2/3rds of the way up the hill but there is still about a 30 second walk up hill so if you have any mobility issues this place may not be for you. Overall a great week was had. Fully recommend. You won't be disappointed.

“Bliss” Loved it here, the apartment is new & very modern inside, everything is spotless clean. The private balcony overlooks the pool area and gardens. Great little restaurant poolside for breakfast and tasty local/european food. The staff are so friendly & welcoming they go out of their way to make you feel special Walking distance to Big Buddha and the local market where you will find all sorts of delicious fresh fruit a few minutes walk to the nearest beach, 10 minutes by car to Chaweng or Fishermans Village on a Friday night for the walking street market, numerous restaurants there to cater for everybody's taste Looking forward to returning again

“A perfect vacation for families or large groups” Me and my family stayed here for a week in august 2012. We chose this villa after doing thorough research. We wanted something affordable, but also luxurious. After Geir, the owner, was patient enough to answer my endless questions, we felt confident enough to book this villa, as it was our first time booking a villa abroad. We never regretted our choice. When you first arrive at the villa, the view takes your breath away. Then you enter the beautiful house with all its comforts and conveniences. We particularly loved the huge balcony and would spend much time outside on it, daytime and night. But most of all, we loved, loved, loved, loved the pool. We have spend many hours and days in this gigantic pool, again with its fantastic view. We were a group of ten and we could easily fit in the pool and villa. I have to spend some time writing something about our wonderful host Geir, who made our stay so comfortable. You could easily walk to the beach, but going up can be tiresome, as the house is placed on a steep hill. My mom is 68, so she did want to climb up and down. Most people rent motorbikes or cars, but as we were a group of 10, we did not. Geir helped us by picking us up and taking us down to the beach or restaurants a few times a day. We showed us around the island and took us to Tongsala to do shopping. When we arrived everything on our shoppinglist was already there. I can highly recommend this villa. You will not reget it. We miss it already. If we are lucky enough, we might return some day.

“A home away from home!” My wife and I stayed at Baan Nana and were overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the experience. The owner and staff are gracious, lovely people and it has been a joy getting to know them. The house is very comfortable and meticulously up kept. The kitchen has all the amenities for home cooking. It was very nice to be able to cook while traveling! A rare and welcome aspect off staying at Baan Nana. The location of Baan Nana is prime. It walking distance to Mae Nam beach. This beach is, in my opinion, the best on the island. It is perfect for swimming and the sands are beautiful. Baan Nana's location is unique in that it is close enough to the hustle and bustle to make it convenient and fun, but far enough away to make it a peaceful and quiet get away. After traveling all over the island via scoot scoot, I have to say that I think this is the best place on the island. Sikarin, thank you for your hospitality, we hope to see you again.

“fantastic view of koh tao” a great house built in the rock of the hill over looking the bay at Koh Tao. its a steep walk up to the house but the view and peacefulness is worth it. some taxis want to charge extra to climb the hill. plenty of space for family of 6 to enjoy. and Koh Tao is my favourite place in thailand, it feels like a small island in the middle of nowhere. magical did not want to leave. d fulcher, england

“Amazing!” Rented this villa over the new year, couldn't ask for more really, set back from the road, private and peaceful. Breathtaking views, very spacious ticks all the boxes and more. Excellent friendly service, will most definitely be returning to this villa again.

“Extremely comfortable, and close to the beach.” This was a very pleasant and relaxing place to stay and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone who is interested in visiting Koh Samui. The owners are very nice, and pleasant and extremely helpful also. Thanks for a wonderful vacation. !!

“Paradise Found” This was our first trip to Thailand & after 3 nights in Bangkok we were looking forward to our stay in Koh Samui, from the moment we arrived at the lovely picturesque airport we new it was going to be special. We have done the package holidays many times before so this was a first, staying in a self catering villa. We couldn't of asked/picked a better place to stay.The villa was like brand new, inside & out, it was just as the photos showed on the website. Great size of rooms, lovely relaxing living/dining area, with all the mod-cons Satellite TV,DVD, WiFi, I-Pod docking station for listening to your music poolside with the outside speaker system, fantastic covered chill-out seating area poolside with mini fridge sink & hob. Walking distance to Big Buddha & Wat Plai Laem, convenience stores within 3 minutes walking distance, the lovely Choeng Mon beach only 3 minutes by car & plenty of local tasty restaurants there too. All in all a brilliant vacation & great memories to cherish. Hope to return again in the not too distant future & without doubt we will be staying here again in this villa.
