Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in, Kommunikation, Lage und Genauigkeit des Onlineauftritts
Great two weeks at Casa Tropicana
The location of this property was perfect for us, right behind Mr Tu's pier, where mostly the beach was empty most of the time. There is a 1 minute walk via a little cut through to get to the beach. There were enough restaurants locally within walking distance, and we would highly recommend a short taxi (required because of incline on hill) to the Maithy Lounge, less than 5 minutes away and the sunset view, vibe and food is incredible. Also worth mentioning, The Shakespeare Pub for any English people! However, in two weeks, all 4 of us never had a bad meal anywhere and we had dietary requirements.
The songathew's are easy to jump on from the main road and they can get you all round the island, don't take their first price as they do like to try it on! Back to the villa now, the owners are lovely, Ballou met us on arrival to talk us through everything and help get our bearings. If we had any queries Ballou and Ian were always at the end of a What's App and happy to help, the other owner lives upstairs who we met once, equally as nice and said to just knock if we needed anything.
The garden area and pool are without a doubt the best bit of the property, plenty of room, sun all day and the garden and pool is well kept. The property is large and spacious with bi-folding doors from the lounge to the outside and a fabulous projector/screen TV with Netflix.
It is worth noting that two of the bedrooms are connected (with a door) as I don't remember this on the ad but this did not bother us as we were a group of 4.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you require, no washing machine but the launderette on the corner turns your washing around in 24hrs for 80baht per kilo.
A couple of feedback points for the owners, although we are aware that the villa may have been empty for 2 years during covid times. The curtains, bedding and towels could do with updating as they have seen better days. Also, the room we were in had no dressing table or enough storage for unpacking for 2 weeks for 2 people so it would be nice to see an update on this in time. There is only one dressing table and it is in the connecting room but there were two hairdryers.
The water is luke warm, I am guessing this is standard across the island as the water heater was very small, it didn't bother us as the climate is warm. However, the shower head could do with a good descaling as it does tend to spray out at all angles!
We would defo love to return!
