We didn’t mention the price, just because it’s a little bit pricey. It is really pricey. Other then that, it’s perfect. But again, do you know any perfect expensive places where you can stay for $100/night? If you stay in the villa, you also have access to all of the areas of the hotel. They have 2 pools (1 freshwater and the other saltwater) and plenty of nooks for relaxing in the sun or shade. They also have a small but well equipped gym and a small spa but the services are amazing! Massages are truly some of the best that we’ve ever had.

For example a villa with private plunge pool, hammock, and full view of the bay will be just about $770/night. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? 100%! The private plunge pools are a blessing from heaven. The hotel is gorgeous, quaint, superb. The views are to die for.

You can even drink some margaritas delivered to you by waitress on trays in infinity pool. Food is good. Actually restaurant is very delicious. But if you don’t want to have a Mexican food for all your stay, you can walk a few minutes and have some nice Italian food at Il Mare. Also, you will spend $100-200 usd at most of these places for a dinner for two(entrees, app and a bottle of wine).

The staff is very good. The rooms are clean, the beds are firm, but not awful. Overall: good food, good view, good service, good building, a little bit crowded beach on weekends. Hopefully you will enjoy your spa vacation at La Casa Que Canta.

On arrival you reception staff will greet you with an ice cold wipe for your hands and a glass of lemon fruit drink.

So let’s talk about villas. Staff will get you to your villa using a golf cabin. And trust me, you will be surprised by the feeling of a privacy that will be all around you. You will get your own villa with 2 rooms, bathroom, large terrace and a small spa house. Of course there’s also a huge swimming pool, which you will enjoy.

Decorations are mixed Asian and Japanese style. At first look you will think they are old furniture, but they are not. It’s just a style, and to be honest, I loved it. It is a very clean look overall. And villas are surrounded by plants, water and of course huge fences, so no one will disrupt you from yourself.

Of course having such an open area and water will bring in some insects, which might be an issue if you dislike their presence. But they are not very annoying.

Food is very good. And there is no difference if you will eat in the restaurant or they will deliver the food to your villa, which is a nice additional bonus. Basically food is a choice between Thai and Mediterranean.

Also you should try food at Coustiero. If you can wait about 30 minutes, you will get a top quality ingredients and perfect flavour pasta, best in Thailand so far.

Other then resorts and you villas, the place is not a very relaxing. On your way to resort in your taxi/cab, try to not look around unless you reach your destination. Place is a very poor, and you might be disappointed by your thoughts of how poor whole Thai people actually live in there.

Perros Guirec is a wonderful beach of a Pink Granite coast, and hotel is located 100 steps above it. Should we say that views are simply magnificent.

Pools are very nice, strategically placed between the important venues like restaurant, which is a very good one as well. But we found it a little bit to expensive. You can count on spending around 200 euros for a dinner for 2 with 1 drink each. Which is something that we can spend on a night out in the city, but not the dinner at the holiday hotel. However there is a plenty of dining option available locally.

If you are a person in need of some privacy and rest, and you like modern style(and you are in France or near it’s borders) you can give L’Agapa Hotel and Spa a try. You should not be disappointed.

And don’t forget about their Spa, it offers a lot of options and choices.

You can get there from Athens, taking the Athens-Thessaloniki highway and then going to the Port of Agios Konstantinos, which ferries will take you directly to Skiathos Island.Arriving to the Port of Skiathos - you should take course towards Koukounaries(you will not miss it, since you will see a lot of Koukounaries signs during your trip). There you will have to find an Aegean Suites Hotel in between of bus stops 5 and 6, just in front of the beach of Megali Ammos.

First thing you will notice, some will like it(however some will not) will be a lot of steps. If you are not fit enough and that can be a problem for you. We suggest you to take a lower level. Pretty much all the first floor has a beautiful sea view.

Rooms are very nice. Most of them have big lounges with a balcony. We are sure they will fit needs of most of the tourists. And staff is very nice and friendly. You will find everything clean as it should be. Food is very good as well. Pools are very nice(of course magnificent sea view adds to it).

Skiathos town will be around 1,5 kilometers walk from hotel. Which will greet you with a fabulous hotels and nice shops to visit. If you will be tired from running up and down on steps at hotel you can have a taxi ride for 5 euros each way as well. Or you can also have a bus ride(they have scheduled runs every 15 minutes). Boat trips are also an awesome option, even if they are expensive, they worth it(they are leaving around 10.00am every day).

A lot of Villas have their own swimming pools. Again, you should keep in mind that Phuket is a tropical island, so you can experience some insects, frogs or lizards. Who knows who will be your guest at your swimming pools soon? Not sure if this is a minus though, since pretty much all intruders that we experienced had non abusive manner.

This place is also highly recommended for honeymoons. Actually it screams “honeymoon” with it’s chapel and privacy. Everyone who has a romantic heart really should give Banyan Tree a chance to prove them they can give you best of the best vacation. You will not want to stay in Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton after Banyan Tree though.

As a small tip, try to avoid La Tratoria - Italian restaurant in a different hotel near to Banyan Tree. People say it’s not good enough.

Resorts is about 20 minutes by taxi from the airport. Perfectly far if we talk about having some privacy. It is on a fair distance from both Airport and city center. Adeje is a very relaxing place.

When you enter the hotel it is impressive. Building is very nice, everything looks massive and expensive. Hotel entrance is at floor 2. So if you live in Villa, you will be leaving 2 levels lower then reception.

There are 3 open swimming pools, one of them is with a warm water. You might meet a friendly guy there, who will ask you if you want some lessons of skuba-diving. He is a very professional instructor. So if you will require some training - just find him.

We had a 2 level villa, with a Jacuzzi on 2nd floor on the open air. And a view of a laguna and beach. Let me tell you it was an impressive experience!

Personal was friendly most of the times, pretty much no issues with them. Rooms are clean, not outdated. Beds are relaxing. We did not experienced any insects or something like that. It was all good enough for a luxury resorts.

Spa areas are nice as well. They have an offer of 3 different spa cycles. So if you are there for long enough, you should really try all 3 of them. They are a nice mix of therapy. Massage is also on a good level, so it’s something you can enjoy, without being afraid of non professionals.

Hotel resides on the small hill. So be sure you are young enough to go up and down during day, because you will need some phisical powers for that.

Beach is around 8-10 minutes walking from hotel entrance. And you can get to a city center by taxi in about 10 minutes as well.

Overall, nice place for 25-30+ years people. Or people who like to relax during the early months of Spring. Not sure what happens there when it’s summer. But we will find it out.

We got there from Six Senses Hideaway Yao Noi(which is also a very good Spa, but that’s a different story). Our 30 minute boat ride was relaxing, and we were surprised and amazed by the looks of surroundings, while on the boat.

One thing we noticed when we did our tour, was that it was far from completion to our looks. But still, all we had to say was “wow”. Everything that is there, has such an amazing attention to details, that for the first day, we had nothing else then “wow”.

It has both inside and outside spas, and it will really convert most of the “best of the best” luxury spa resort visitors to it’s side.

A few excerpts are:

1. We are able to eat everything we have growing around our villa or property. Yes, it’s that simple. You like this fruit, you can take it and eat it. As fresh as it is. Yummy!
2. Combination of four spas in one. They have both Indian Spa, Indonesian Spa, Chinese Spa and of course Thai Spa. And it’s not just a small area, but a complete spa resorts. They even have a salon called the hair spa. No need to mention color therapy spaces, watsu areas, pilates, kenisis, long awaited feng shui gyms and a lof of other offerings are all there. It’s really easier to list what they don’t offer, then what they actually do.
3. Everything you see around is also screams ecology. A lot of ecologically embedded practices involved.
4. Food is as fresh as it can be. Garden-fresh ingridients, raw food restaurants and spa-celebrity chefs are all there!
5. There is also amazing 7th Sense that is going to be introduces.
6. And of course it is going to be the most expensive spa in the world. Worth it or not? We certainly think it’s worth every cent of the price. But of course, not everyone will be able to enjoy such a Spa for a holiday that is longer then 7 days.
