We spent four nights at the Vana Belle. The service was impeccable. The staff-to-guest ratio must be truly outstanding. We never had to ask for help, as there was always staff nearby to assist us. Telephone inquiries were always handled promptly. The buggy service was convenient, and we never had to wait long. And the staff—simply superb! They made our stay so wonderful. Naomi (our butler) was very attentive and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with nothing but warm smiles—from the reception staff and housekeeping to the restaurant staff and buggy drivers! Although everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly, they always made sure we didn't feel crowded. Breakfast was a semi-buffet. The buffet itself didn't offer a huge selection, but the quality of the à la carte dishes was very good. The breakfast restaurant has a lovely view. Since it faces east, it can get quite warm in the mornings on hot days. We decided to sit in the shade or indoors. We had dinner at the Thai restaurant on the evening of our arrival. The food wasn't particularly impressive, so we didn't go back. We enjoyed the daily activities at the hotel. We tried Muay Thai, Thai boxing, and stretching exercises. The pool was a good size and offered a small selection of swimming aids. The beach is very beautiful and inviting, but the sea is usually too choppy for swimming. There are plenty of sun loungers on the beach and by the pool, which is a big plus. I can also recommend the massage at the spa. May was simply fantastic! I felt completely relaxed and refreshed afterward.
We can't say enough good things about our stay at the Vana Belle. The service was simply impeccable. A huge thank you goes to François, the hotel manager, who personally introduced himself during the warm welcome, and especially to Pum, our fantastic concierge, who thought of absolutely every detail – from our room to everything else – to make our honeymoon unforgettable. She not only recommended restaurants all over the island and made reservations for us, but also organized all our transfers (both to the restaurants and the airport), which were always on time, and arranged a wonderful spa day with Smile and Maya. Every single member of staff at the Vana Belle made sure we felt completely at ease, and we truly appreciated it. Our room was a real highlight: we received a complimentary upgrade for our honeymoon, and it was simply divine! The view, the small pool, and the amenities like champagne, cake, and the evening snacks were simply delightful. And finally, the location: The hotel is quiet, peaceful, and offers pure luxury. No other place we ate at or passed by could compare to the Vana Belle and its beach, and the food was phenomenal every single day! We highly recommend a stay here – the best hotel on the island!
My husband and I spent five nights of our honeymoon at the Vana Belle. Unfortunately, my husband became ill during our stay, so we spent most of our time at the hotel. The staff was simply incredible. They immediately arranged a doctor's appointment and took wonderful care of him throughout our stay. The staff were among the best we have ever encountered – always friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, the beach was stunning, and the rooms were beautiful. Our concierge, Romi, was extremely attentive and helpful throughout our stay, and I greatly appreciated his support for my husband. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
