Wouldn't stay anywhere else other than here!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Jan 2013via mobile
We have just returned from spending Christmas and New Years with some family on koh Tao, myself and 3 others stayed in the bougainvillea here and I have to say this was the most amazing holiday I've had in years, the villa is beautiful with stunning views and a stunning infinity pool where you can sunbathe and relax.
Lincoln and his family are really friendly and brought us a nice big fruit basket on Christmas Day! Steve the driver was the most genuinely friendly guy I've ever met he couldn't do enough to help us from being at our bec and call for drop offs and pick ups, to when one of our party was ill and couldn't come out on a day trip Steve took her a fresh sandwich and some DVDs to watch! He even organised me a massage at the villa so i didnt have to go out! Definatly will stay here again! Best place on koh Tao to stay and close to everything.

Lisa and Tom :-)

Lisa & Tom,
Thank you very, very much for sharing your very positive experience with all the Tripadvisor review readers... I am sorry that it has taken me so long to respond... It was a huge pleasure to have you as our very special guests during Christmas time last year, that is my favorite time on Koh Tao, and it was great to share it with you. Steve says, "hello"... We all hope that you can come back to Koh Tao sometime soon!
Love, health, & happiness,

We arrived for one night to monkey flower villa. We stayed at the "Upper villa" that is just stunning! The villa has the Most beautiful scenery in all of koh tao!
Lincoln is an amazing man who loves to give and wants to do everything to make you happy! I wish we would have stayed there longer!

We booked this as a treat after staying in a hellish place in Koh Phang Nan. Due to the price we only stayed one night as for Thailand it is on the pricey side. But where else in the world can you get a private villa with your own pool and driver for that price?!Also there were 2 of us in a villa with 2 bedrooms and so if you split between 4 its pretty cheap. Nai, the driver, is the star of this place. He will pick you up whenever you want and take you wherever you want to go. Nothing was too much trouble for Nai and the owners, Lincoln and his wife. We were having trouble finding a place to stay and Lincoln's mother and Nai drove us to pretty much every hotel in town to try and find somewhere! We absolutely loved this place and have nothing bad to say about it at all. I plan to go back to Koh Tao one day and I will definitely come back here.

Sorry for my very late response to your lovely Tripadvisor review of Monkey Flower Villas... Unfortunately, Nai is not working with us anymore, but we have a fantastic new driver (and member of the Monkey Flower Family!), Steve, so next time you are on Koh Tao, I hope that you will stay with us again, and try out your new, "Man-about-town"... Thank you very much for taking the time to share your good experiences at Monkey Flower Villas with the world!

We stayed here in May 2012 for 5 days which was nearly not long enough!

We were met by the wonderful Nai who collected us from the ferry and took us to the upper villa via a trip to the local supermarket. (Tip - try and bring as much provisions/essentials as possible as the supermarket was expensive).

We had a great stay on the upper villa which had its private pool overlooking the beautiful bay. The villa was set in a stunning location and had everything you would need - satellite TV, kitchen area, power shower and air con. Lincoln was quite a character and was great - even though my original booking via another website was poorly managed, Lincoln came to the rescue and from even before we booked to check out - he was on hand, as was Nai, for everything we needed.

Nai is a great asset to this resort, he was welcoming, always had a smile and there wasnt a thing he wouldnt or couldnt sort for us. He knew some great places to visit for snorkelling (lincoln even let us borrow his equipment) and use of the mobile phone was a great idea and was fantastic as ours didnt work too well!

Nai's driving skills were fantastic, and although the jeep doesnt look as if it will get you far - it does its job well and negotiates the steep hill to Monkey Flower well with Nai's assistance :)

We had a great stay and only wish that we had stayed longer. Monkey Flower is a gem and Lincoln should be very proud of what he has acheived here - hopefully it wont be too long before we are able to return. Thanks Lincoln & Nai.

Dayan & Michael,
I am sorry for my late response to your very wonderful Tripadvisor review. We are very proud of or little place, and our customer service, and it is always very nice to be noticed and appreciated... Thank you! One reason it has taken me so long to get back to you is that our little girl was born on July 21st, 2012... We are getting back I to the swing of things again, so I am finally able to send this thank you message. I hope that you will come back some day, and we can have some more time to hang out...
