Having spent the majority of our holiday wedding planning for our up and coming Wedding in Phuket next year - we decided to spend our last four nights relaxing and we were very excited to have found The Village Coconut Island resort.
We initially booked a Seaview Pool Villa, but we were delighted to have been upgraded to a grand two bedroom pool villa, we also decided to upgrade to all inclusive once we were there which we can’t recommend enough!
On arrival, the staff meet you on the pontoon and take care of your luggage, we were offered a welcome drink at reception and encouraged to relax whilst we were checked in, then shortly afterwards we were taken on a golf cart to our stunning villa.
The villa itself was incredible - our own dream home in paradise, with gorgeous views and a secluded pool. Having upgraded to all inclusive, the mini bar and snacks were refilled daily.
The food was incredible! I am a vegetarian, but also dairy intolerant, therefore it is often a challenge to find a substantial meal, however there are so many vegetarian/ vegan options on the menu, and they will happily adapt meals - my favourite restaurant was the Kabang Restaurant and bar, both for the food and incredible setting - right on the beach, overlooking the idyllic, picture perfect ocean views. My fiancé highly recommended the Rock Lobster red curry off the menu! All restaurant staff were so friendly and attentive, taking time to engage with you, remember your name and ensure your glass was never empty!
We had a slight issue with the air con in our villa, which they attempted to fix a couple of times, unfortunately it still didn’t function fully, making it rather warm, however we were grateful that the director of operations followed up on this in receipt of our feedback.
The resort pools are large and clean, there were numerous sun loungers, but they seemed to get reserved quite early, but during our stay we mainly used our villa pool. We booked the boat to Rang Yai Island during our stay, which we have visited before, it is beautiful and we recommend spending an afternoon there during your stay.
We loved our stay on Coconut Island so much, we plan to return next year for our Honeymoon.
