Plumeria Place Residence

Really great time in Samui at Jame's place - Pulmeria 43. The location was great and convenient and overall really quiet. Here are a few highlights of the pros and cons from our stay there: The local site manager, Sue, was extremely responsive and helpful. Our suitcases were delayed the first night and she was very helpful in contacting the airline that evening and the next day. The next day we met with her and she spent time giving us advice and getting us oriented around the villa. The best advice was to rent a car. We were hesitant at first but after talking with her we decided to rent a car which she helped arrange. The car was dropped offed and picked up from the villa. Super convenient and best decision we made on the trip. The villa itself was nice and spacious which comprised of the main living area with kitchen, the main sleeping building, the pool, and a covered outdoor patio area. Very convenient and large enough for a family or two couples traveling together. Upon arrival the refrigerator was stocked with some eggs, milk, water, some muffins, and orange juice! That was a really nice touch. We did have a few issues with the villa but Sue and James were very responsive. Wifi and internet connection was not so great and at first the router/modem kept dropping out. Two days later the tech said it was a bad power adapter but even after that the connection kept dropping probably because it was an old fashioned DSL connection. When it was up it was very fast but still not reliable. As we were leaving there was talk of upgrading to fiber optic service so if you’re a digital nomad I suggest checking to see if the service was upgraded. One thing to note that took us by surprise is that the grounds crew (Lawn and pool) was able to walk in and out of the villa property without notice. It was startling at first to see some stranger out of the corner of your eye just appear. You get used to it after a while but you do need to be sure that you’re not caught off guard. Overall really great time in the villa and Samui and would stay there again.
