Really spacious bungalow in well kept grounds.you are not on top of each other .the pool is nice and big with plenty of sun beds and a couple of hammocks on the beach.the bar and restaurant are really good,and the prices are a lot cheaper compared to most of samui they serve really good cocktails.theres lots of choice for breakfast and lots of it.theres are bicycles to use free of charge,and the scooters are only 300 Bart a day and are in really good condition the ones we hired only had 3000 miles on the clock.viva vacation is perfect if you like peace and quiet you are only 5 minutes from the main part of lipa noi which has some really good restaurants or a 5 minute drive from busy nation.

Wasn’t really anything we didn’t like

I had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was excellent, close to everything I needed, yet peaceful and relaxing. One of the highlights of my stay was the beachfront bar — the food and drinks served there were absolutely fantastic. The staff at the bar were the kindest and most welcoming I have ever met. They truly made the experience unforgettable. I truly enjoyed my time here and would gladly return in the future. Highly recommended!

Nothing at all – everything was great.

Kind and helpful staff. Beautifull pool area, restaurent at the beach, beach bar. A very calm place and some magic moments, sunsets, dinners experienced. Good prices in restaurant. Beautifull beach - very low tide. We travelled with our two kids (0 and 3), and it was really a calm experience. We had the first bungalow (101) amazing view and location of this bungalow., especially also convenience with pool, beach etc. Breakfast very traditional, however made with passion, so we enjoyed it.

Would recommend the hotel staff to take some new pictures of the hotel, beach, pool, as it is much nicer in reality than shown on booking today! :) Our kids wake up at 6 - 6,30, so the breakfast opening at 8.00, was a bit late. The lunch opening at 1 pm, so ready to deliver lunch 1.30/2 was also a little late. We had a lot of mosquitos in the room, which was quite annoying and affected our time inside. Heard from other couples that it wasn't an issue on their rooms, so maybe it is only on the first bungalow. The pool was beautifull, however should be cleaned more often!

Do not let the exterior of this resort fool you. Reception area is very basic, but the wonderful staff made up for that. Once we were checked in, we were shown to our bungalow. Wow! Extremely spacious - and the bathroom is huge! Such a lovely little place - we will definitely go back. The garden is lovely. Breakfast was included and really good. On-site beach restaurant is extremely expensive with food and drinks, but barely 5 min walk down the beach, there is a very well priced little restaurant at the water's edge. We had most of our meals there. The location is very quiet, the pool is great - as are the comfy hammocks on the beach. We rented a scooter from the hotel and rode all over Koh Samui.

A long walk to any shops, convenience stores, but we had a scooter, so that did not bother us.

We stayed 3 nights and would have stayed longer if we had time.after travelling for 2 weeks round Thailand we just needed to chill and we certainly did that here The villa is lovely very comfy and the grounds were great as well lovely pool and beach and plenty of sunbeds to accommodate the 11 villas The breakfast ' bar and restaurant were great value was so nice to just stay at the resort and not have to go out looking for food , great choice on the menu We also had a massage in the gazebo which was fantastic The staff were so friendly as well, you could not fault the service Would return in a heartbeat

I did see comments re this and would agree that lounge does get warm as only a fan but was cool enough in the evening to sit and relax or watch telly but did not ruin our holiday But the air conditioning in bedroom was fabulous

An absolutely amazing place! Big and spacious garden with beautiful trees and flowers, perfect when travelling with children as there is lots of shade.The photos does not do this place justice. It felt like we had the place all to ourselves for hours each day. The beach is very quiet so this is the place to go if you are looking for a serene place to relax. The staff make you feel so welcome and are truly very helpful. Everyone who worked there were great with our baby, playing with him and always making sure we hadd everything we needed for him. He had such a great time. In our opinion the best place to go for families with small children, but also lovely for couples. The villas are really spacious. Great breakfast. Would love to come back one day!

The pool could have been cleaner

A beautiful property in the nicest, quietest area of the beach. We’ve travelled around to a few of the other resorts and nowhere has the peace and serenity of this place, as well as the beautiful gardens and sense of openness and expanse. Unfortunately we could not stay for longer – we would rather have stayed there for a couple of weeks, but they did not have availability. The staff are delightful - warm and helpful. The pool is really lovely – obviously done quite recently. The bungalows are huge – equipped with two bathrooms a living area and a walk in wardrobe- very well built. Very tasty food at the restaurant also. See you very soon. Thank you!

The staff and the ambient is absolutely lovely. It would be slightly easier if the staff spoke English better but they were the loveliest and helped us with everything. The bungalow was exceptional and we loved it there. It's super close to the sea, the pool, and the restaurant/bar next to the beach. The food was fantastic, and we wish we stayed there longer. They organized our transfer from the airport and to the pier we then continued our journey from.

I would have liked to have non-dairy milk available at breakfast but otherwise, perfect. Would have loved to be able to pay in advance as well, though, as it would facilitate the check-out process.

Very spacious villa - we had the one with direct view of the pool and sea (no.102) and we were very pleased! The villa has a living room with tea/coffee appliances, a spacious refrigerator and TV, one bedroom with big mirror in front of the bed, huuuuuge bathroom with a shower AND a bath and mirrors on almost every wall and wc, plus an additional 'guest' wc (that did not function properly). The villa has a walk-in closet as well. The resort is in a quiet area a bit away from the city, shops etc. so if you want to have a peaceful, quiet and romantic stay - it is perfect. There is motorbike rental available, but the resort offers free bicycles that you can use. Restaurant is also very good with a lot of options both local and international. Very refreshing pool and we enjoyed relaxing on the sunbeds next to the pool. This is a resort for relaxing stay offering views to spectacular sunsets!

The room cleaning could be a bit better. AC only in bedroom, the living room has a ceiling fan. The resort has a direct beach access but we found this beach not so clean to swim in it (though other couples took a swim). There was some strange noise at night - it felt like there was some animal between the roof and the ceiling - it made my wife uneasy.

Amazing staff, very attentive. Comfortable villas. Good breakfasts, great and new swimming pool with sunsets over the water horizon. The resort has good restaurant on-site. Resort has just a few villas, so you can enjoy tranquillity all round.

The location is remote from main actions and night life and requires a car, so will suit a couple looking for a quiet relaxing time. Also the beach can be a bit dirty for swimming, especially after the storms and waters are shallow. However, the resort maintains beautiful swimming pool to jump in and cool down.
