Ataman Luxury Villas

We stayed for the second time in Atamans Luxury Villas. This time with small children (4 and 6 years). Due to COVID it was very difficult and nervous to get to Thailand. The procedure of ThaiPass was complicated and we had to change our flight time and even considered to cancel the trip but as all the flights were non-refundable, we decided to take the risk. Indeed, we worried a lot if all the members of the family will get negative PCR test results and it was unclear what will happen if one of will be positive. However, we did not find out as all were all negative and finally, no regrets – when we arrived to Atamans, we completely forgot about the COVID. This resort was truly safe, very few people and almost no contacts. While walking daily along the beach we hardly met anyone. There were 3 bedrooms and living room with the kitchen and really big private pool in the villa Villas were built so that you could not see the neighbours from other villas. Rooms were very clean and hotel staff took care of laundry and everything. Last time I wrote in my review that it might be dangerous for small children considering that private pool was deep for them. This time we were with small children, and I learned that I was wrong. They were swimming a lot with their swimming toys and had fun. Of course, we kept an eye on them but this what a parent has to do anyway. As the second choice, there was a large swimming pool with the special children section near the restaurant - they tried this one too. The sea was few steps away and it was very calm during our visit. We could not complain about the swimming possibilities. The breakfast was remarkably improved since the last time (2019): there was no lush buffet as in big hotels, but you just had to tell what you would like and this was made for you. A lot of fruits and fresh juices were available on request. Breakfast was included in the price. It was possible to order also lunch and dinner in the hotel and they brought food into your villa. Everything was delicious. However, it might be boring to stay and eat in the same place every day. Therefore, we wanted to explore the restaurants on the beach. Several places which were active 2 years ago were now closed. The only beach restaurant nearby was Hapla and so we were the frequent and almost only visitors there. In case you want some adventure, the hotel owner would arrange trips and excursions for you, or you can do this on your own. Returning to the hotel after that was very refreshing. The closest shop was in the harbour - about 10 minutes to drive. However, if you are looking for a lively surrounding, a lot of entertainment, parties, markets and restaurants nearby, then this place is not for you. This is a place for full relaxation and in case of interest, massage and other beauty treatments were arranged in the hotel or in your villa. I strongly recommend the Atamans – this could be a perfect holiday as for families with children as for couples.

Ataman Villas was truly amazing! We were in need of a relaxing and peaceful family holiday and that is EXACTLY what we had! The actual Villa was perfect - MUCH bigger than we expected and perfect for our family of 6+ grandma who travelled with us! The pool was huge, everything was clean and comfortable! The staff were phenomenal! So attentive and friendly we could not have asked for better service! Alex who hosted us was very accommodating, helpful and responsive both before and during our stay! The food was great, something for all of us and we never got tired of the menu! The Massages were absolutely Devine and again the people just so friendly. Would definitely come back again! Loved it

We stayed there for 10 day at a very large comfortable villa, individual service, delicious food, beautiful nature, not many people around - everything was cool. If you are looking for a secluded spot to rest, relax and enjoy the sea - it is the best place to stay
