We arrived for the Full Moon Party a few days in advance, we were greeted with so much enthusiasm and also welcome drinks. The place was absolutely stunning, beaches, palm trees, a pool, and a jacuzzi to watch the sunset in! The staff at First Villa were some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet, they had... More

Really nice place, had an absolute lovely time here. Beautiful sight, nice pool, good food, nice garden bungalow (got a free upgrade when our tv didn't work). Best thing is the staff. Beau and carrot can make every hotel into a warm and welcoming place! Adored them!

Very nice atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. Located right on the beach in Ban Tai ca. 5 min. drive from the pier and city center. Provides you great access to and from the pier upon arrival and departure from the island. Taxi from pier costs ca. 100 BHT per person. When staying in First Villa I would definitely recommend to...

First Villa is a lovely place to stay for couples, maybe not so much travellers who want to be near the... More

I stayed for a week in this hotel with my wife. Booked another room but there was space, so I took a look around and upgraded to a beachfront bungalow beacuse the price was reasonable for the really nice room, 1100 bht a night (a little discount). Our bungalow was really nice and the view from our porch was fantastic.... More

The service is excellent. Bo and Poi were very attentive to our needs. The food at the restaurant are superb! We stayed at the beach front bangalow and it was perfect. The beach is clean and clear but you don't see many people swimming in the sea thou. Maybe its the time of the season that I was there. The... More

I stayed in one of their Villa’s for two night at £24 per night. It is located a shortish ride from the ferry terminal at Thong Sala. All journeys by their adapted jeeps on the island cost £2. The Resort is an 7 minute walk from the main road on a beautiful beach side location. When you arrive it looks... More

Stayed with my girlfriend for seven nights in a beach front bungalow, paying the asked price online. No pick up at the pier, and no drop off. We came for the new years party at Had Rin. easy to get taxi, so nice to stay a bit away. The bungalow has a magnificent postcard view. Love it! Very nice pool... More

We stayed at First Villa over Christmas and celebrated with a free barbeque by the sea at sunset courtesy of the hotel. The view here is amazing and it is probably the most tranquil place we stayed during our visit to Thailand. We had a bungalow slightly set back from the sea/pool front (the pool looks out of the sea)... More
