Most people have never known holidays in a private Luxury Villa, preferring resorts "glossy brochure" and recommendations of the Agency travel and "sharing" of the hotel with 300 other foreigners.
A Villa offers many more advantages over a hotel, and below are the top 10 reasons why.
1. Costs-for a large family or a group of friends, a private Villa work significantly cheaper than resort, especially when you consider that a Villa offers breakfast, laundry and free airport transfers and your own staff to manage everything that you might need. Many Villa offers all meals inclusive, Thai shopping pre-arrival services at market prices and some even offer a refrigerated case beer on arrival.
2 Service – all Villas come with live-in caregiver staff private and often a Manager daily Villa is fluent in English and can help you with rental cars, boat charters and dive trips and generally a reduction voucher. No more waiting on room service or obtain your midi laundry.
3. Food-l' one of the strengths of staying in a private Villa is the food. Even if food is not exhaustive, the chances are that the Villa provide a leader that will cook whatever you want and only charge you the cost of fresh ingredients. Imagine a pool BBQ enough lobster, shrimp and fish to feed a small army and the cost is less than one entry at a 5-star resort.
4 Facilities - these days more private resorts offer as much or even more than a resort 5 stars - cable TV, free Wi - Fi, DVD players, IPOD docks and fully equipped kitchens, BBQ and much more. Many villas have home gyms, saunas, PlayStation, pool tables, dart boards and you never wait for 2 hours for your tour.
5 Confidentiality - want to wander your Villa in your bikini or stay all day in your dress? Or listen to your choice of music or watch DVDs? Or perhaps use the private gymnasium or home theatres have many private villas. Perhaps another gin and tonic?... your call.
6. Location - more villas are located is beautiful places such as the waterfront, view on the ocean, or even on private islands. Villas are usually designed to maximize the outlook with common areas, overlooking the best point of view and rooms with views and doors opening to the sea.
7 Luxury - these days, Luxury Villa market is highly competitive and stay relevant, Villas must continually invest in the quality of furniture and lighting to provide a level of luxury that you can't get in most hotels. Most Villas are extremely tasteful and comfortable.
8 Serenity - you hate how the pool in resort 5 stars like "kid soup" at about 5 p.m. every day? A private Villa, are the best times the start of the evening: the sunset, tonic and gin by your own pool and some Dean Martin on the BOSE system. Just moments can be captured in a glossy brochure or Web site. It is one of them.
9 Safety - more villas offer a high level of security. While all the Villas have safes in the room, leaving your IPod, computer laptop, sunglasses and Sun portfolio around the Villa is generally not a problem. And at night, doors and Windows can remain open. There is always staff on-site, and usually, the guards security monitor outside.
10 Low season - low season, Villas can provide incredible transaction especially if you have a bit of flexibility in your dates or you are booking last minute. Some weather conditions can present some rain, but it will be still hot balmy. But there are fewer people autour, things are less expensive and it is not uncommon to get a discount of 25% to 50% on the rates listed in seasons of low - so do not take these fixed price lists.
Villas offer much more than a resort place, but many people is nervous concerning finding and booking a Villa and pay a deposit of heavy front. Many people see so called "Villas" are nothing more than a self catered to vacation. Up to their name luxury villas and it pays to seek a qualified agent that is responsive, knowledgeable and offers suggestions and options.
