Looking to rent villa/bungalow within a few hours flight

Posted by axptguy38 (89 days ago)

Hi,

We're looking to rent a 2-3 bedroom villa/bungalow with a pool, preferably on or close to the beach. We have small kids so within 3 hours flight of HK is preferable. The place should have a kitchen/kitchenette and/or full service staff that cooks all meals.

Any ideas? I know there's plenty in Bali but that's a bit further than we really want to travel. Thailand? Vietnam? Philippines?

Thanks in advance.

check out Karma Samui www.karmaresorts.com or call their HK office on 2537 7610

Thanks usbound. That place looks great. Unfortunately the travel time is about 5½ hours since there are no direct flights.

We are also looking at Bali, which has great villas but is a tad far. However if we have to travel that length of time Bali is good since we can fly direct from HK.

samui has direct flights from HK - Bangkok Airways - i think they go almost every day now.

we went to Samui with Bangkok airways - was absolutely fine. Stayed at amazing place - Dhevatara residence. This is not the agency we used - a few of them have it on their books. Cant rememeber which one we used. Anyway - my only problem with villas these days that the pool is right there - so dangerous with small kids, not sure how olds yours are, but we gave up on villas for a couple of years now - will have to stay in hotels...
And yes - there is staff in the villa and food was amazing!

Agree completely about the pool. Our kid are definitely too young to stay in a place with open air living room with the pool 3 feet away.

Thanks for the tip.
