Villa Riva

It was beyond my expectations!! The top view above the little hill where the villa was located was really stunning. It was like that ocean was mine. I could feel the moment of calm and peacefulness while staying there. Not only the extraordinary scenery from the place but also the contemporary style of this villa gave me a fabulous atmosphere and stay. The villa was clean and well-managed. There were many room types with different sizes. Each room was well-functional that suits with kids, couple or family. They have provided all of the facilities that you may have expected from 5-star hotels. The staffs were friendly and had good serviced-mind. Everything is truly fantastic. (10/10) It is the place that worth for your holidays.

To find words to describe this place is extremely difficult but I’ll try. I stayed in this Palace by the sea with friends for 4 nights and it was the most enthralling experience I’ve ever felt staying in a resort and I have been to many. Upon entry you’ll immediately be captivated by the magnificent architecture of modern contemporary high ceilings fused with traditional Thai accents surrounded by 270 degree views of the ocean was simply breathtaking. Each bedroom is elegantly decorated with beautiful wood carvings and has a unique view of the garden and ocean. The magnificent infinity pool surrounded by a cabana and outdoor dining area is perfect for a pool party. Cherry and her staff were absolutely terrific to attend to all our needs. The in house Chef would put many top notch Restaurants to shame with his extraordinary Thai and Western cuisine. For those of you who are very discerning on where and how you spend your well deserved time time with family or friends in ultimate luxury, Villa Riva will very likely surpass even your highest expectations.

Amazing, magnificent, beautiful all describes what I have experienced that has to be the closest to paradise on earth. A group of friends stayed several nights and I’m sure I speak for them that the experience was surreal and living in a dream. The views looking to the ocean was breathtaking, the architecture and design truly amazing. The fusion between Thai, elegance, style and beauty all came together with perfection. I have traveled around the world, stayed at some of the best hotels and resorts, and Villa Riva is in my top 3, if not my top “best of the best”. It’s not just the views and the villa, it’s also the amazing service and hospitality of the staff lead by Khun Cherry. There was no request not done with the amazing graciousness of Thai culture. It’s the entire package!!

Where to start - meeting up with friends for a week's stay at Villa Riva was just perfection! Incredible food from the amazing chef and Khun Cherry and her crew could not have been more helpful nor more delightful. From the amazing pool, theatre, pool table, karaoke, gym, sauna, steam room, it was endless fun and relaxation. Our room with magnificent views across the ocean was lovely and the mattress on the bed was wonderfully comfortable. A full five star review for both Villa Riva and Khun Cherry and her team.

We have just reluctantly checked out from Villa Riva after a week with friends celebrating a 60th birthday. It was fabulous. The Villa has everything, a stunning location, facilities incredible especially the magical pool. The staff with Khun Cherry in charge work so hard and made our time so lovely. The food the chef prepared for us was amazing. We had a special celebration dinner one night and they made the table setting so beautiful. All trips, transport, errands, questions etc were organised with no fuss. Thank you so much! We hope we have the opportunity to return.
