Angie McDonald  2005-03-29 until 2005-04-04	Headland Villas, Taling Ngam Beach We had a wonderful stay at Headland Villas - the villas are really spacious and comfortable and the view is unbelievable. We were very happy we had booked here away from the hustle and bustle of other areas on the island which are easy enough to reach by renting a car which can be organised through Meow the manager of Headland who can t do enough for you. She is a fantastic manager who looks after her guests like they are staying in her own home. The other staff are also very nice and polite and go about their jobs without bothering anyone. Thank you for giving us a memorable holiday.
Wanwisa Kamolvathin - NYC  2005-03-20 until 2005-03-24	Taling Ngam is absolutely gorgeous. The beach at Taling Ngam is quiet and nice for sun bathing and kayaking - a little too murky (not that the water wasn t beautiful) for snorkeling though. Snorkel enthusiasts should book a trip to koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan - the water there is amazing. Lunch at Lom Talay at Le Meridien is wonderful on a clear day - the restaurant s view is beautiful (although the views at the Headland Villas premises are also great). The Headland Villas are pretty much situated within the premises of Le Meridien Taling Ngam (the villas sit right between the hillside and the beachside accomodations of the resort); the well decorated rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable; though lacked amenities such as shampoo/conditioner, hair dryers and iron/ironing boards. I would give the staff (including the managress) a 6 out of 10. The kitchen is very clean and a breakfast tray of fruits, breads and yogurts is provided daily. Lunch on the villa s deck was nice (please note, villas 1 and 3 offer the best views). The maid service was fine and the sheets and towels were changed daily and were immaculate. The staff were friendly and accomodating but not to the level that I ve experienced at other hotels/resorts in Thailand where people really went above and beyond to satisfy their guests. The managress Khun Meow was friendly, but hard to get a hold of. She was out often and this became a problem as many activities required at least one days notice to book. Please go on to samui websites to see the variety of tours and activities available because Khun Meow was incapable of making many suggestions. She did, however, help us charter a speedboat to Koh Nang Yuan for about $500 (U.S.) for an entire day - very good deal considering the speed boat was large enough to accomodate 25 people and the trip to Koh Nang Yuan was about 2 hours long each way. If you are a spa fanatic please do not take Khun Meow s suggestion to have an in room hour massage for 500 bath per person ($12.50 US) - the masseuse(s) are the same people that give massages on Taling Ngam s beach and do not give massages that are near the level of one from lincensed/trained masseuse(s) at many of the terrific spas to be found in Thailand. I highly reccomend booking a few spa treatments at Le Meridien s spa; it is truely a treat (hour massages are roughly $40 US - great deal). The staff at Le Meridien are wonderful - you will not be treated as second class compared to the guests at their resort. However, please be advised that as a Headland Villas guest, you will only be permitted to use the beachside pool (there is a pool on the upper level of the resort by Lom Talay Restaurant with wonderful views - sadly we were not able to use it). Overall I would highly reccomend the Headland Villas for families and large groups. The price is certianly right and the location is probably one of the best on Koh Samui.
Jackie  2005-02-10 until 2005-02-16	We went for our honeymoon and was grateful that we booked at the Headland Villas which was in a quieter area of the island at Baan Taling Ngam. The villas were great, wonderful views into the ocean, HUGE bathroom and comfortable furniture(except there was no TV in the bedroom, only in the lounge) The amenities and breakfast at the next door ROyal Meridien was great but the general food there was not up to scratch for a 5 star hotel (Baan Chantra and The Promenade was dissapointing). The Headland was very comfortable but service left a bit to be desired , we had to ask for a couple of things more than once. The deck, furniture and layout of the villas was very tasteful and definitely very good value if you can share the cost amongst 6 people (each villa sleeps 6). All in all, recommended if you would like some privacy, beautiful views, lovely beaches and wonderful outdoor facilities for dining.
