Maria's beautiful well appointed villa was an absolute pleasure for us to stay in, we were extremely comfortable and very spoilt with our large comfy bed, quality shower, A/C, large screen TV and swimming pool. It was a real treat and felt more like a holiday.
Maria's two dogs were a couple of great little characters, both quiet loveable dogs, Mickey was more out going and laid back and if you walked towards him he would roll on his back waiting for a tummy rub. He loved being groomed. Chang was more reserved, sometimes a bit nervous, but he is a great guard dog. He was happy to lay near you wherever we sat, not too keen on being groomed though!! They both loved their doggy chews and would run in from the garden when their heard the rattle of their treat box.
The location is fantastic and as Maria kindly gave us her truck and a scooter to use we were able to explore the island. We met many of her friends and neighbours in the area and ate at the local food stalls which were cheap, plentiful and authentic Thai cuisine.
Maria is a lovely, kind person who is a friend we hope to see again.
