"Pros: This villa was perfect for our week-long stay. Firstly, it looks exactly like it does in the online photos, and is comfortable and has everything you could possibly need, including a fully equipped kitchen, 3 bathrooms, laundry facilities onsite, a gym at the entrance gate, air conditioning in each room, wifi, and a beautiful swimming pool. The area where the villa is located is gated, and has security permanently stationed at the entrance. We felt completely safe at all times (although we felt completely safe at all times whilst in Thailand). It was clean, and all the dealings I had with the owner and his staff were easy. We paid a little extra so we could stay until 6pm on our day of check-out, a request that was granted very last minute, but were were eternally grateful as it gave us another (almost) full day with the pool and the comforts of the villa and we didn't have to kill 8 hours sight-seeing (which would have been great, but without our own creature comforts - and we were travelling with a young child). There are sensational options for eating and massages within a short walk (just down to the main road) where we happily sampled a range of local food at great prices - and the locals were the most friendly people! We really can't say enough positive things about this villa, we didn't want to leave! Cons: The villa was perfect, the only negative (if we had to name one) is that it's more than walking distance from the main town with a small child, so we had to book rides whenever we wanted to go anywhere. I would recommend downloading the "Grab" app for booking tuk-tuks, cars, taxis, or food delivery (just remember to put "Trichada Villas" as your pick-up/drop off point and not your specific villa - we met our drivers at the boom gate)." ~Vanessa
