Reviews about Koh Samui private pool villas at this luxury resort:
"We had a villa with two private pools, which we really liked. The view of the sea was unbeatable. The size of the accommodation was very generous and very clean / well maintained."
"Our room, which included a living room and private pool and Jacuzzi, was very spacious and had a fair view of the beach in front. By the way, a differential of the hotel is that it has its own private beach, in an area that also has two pools, resting area and a restaurant/bar (Fish Tales). All the rooms/villas are spread all over the large area of the hotel, with well-cared vegetation all around, which gives us a sense of exclusivity."
"Superb facilities and room, our villa with a sea view was surrounded by lush greenery and had a beautiful panorama looking out over the bay."
"I have booked Tongsai Seaview Pool Villa. When we entered our villa i was amazed with the set up and how spacious the space is, starting from the breath-taking view of the infinity pool, the setup of the Jacuzzi and furniture around the outer area, and ending up with so amazing set up of the room inside."

Facility maintenance needs more attention from management."
