Questions
What guests ask us
Ordered by how often we are actually asked. If your question is not here, message us — a person will answer.
Getting here
Do you offer an airport transfer?
Yes. ฿400 one way, ฿800 return, per car, and it is included free on all four of our packages. Please book at least 48 hours ahead so we can meet you.
Where will the driver meet me?
The arrivals hall at Samui Airport. After you collect your luggage, walk all the way to the far end, where the information counter and the smoking area are. That is where the drivers wait. If you cannot see them, call either of our numbers — the landline or the mobile.
How far is the resort from Samui Airport?
Fifteen minutes by car. The resort is on Chaweng Beach, on the east coast.
How do I get to Ko Samui?
Bangkok Airways, Scoot and Chengdu Airlines fly into Samui with more than 30 flights a day — direct from Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chiang Mai, U-Tapao and Krabi. You can also fly to Surat Thani and take the ferry, which takes two and a half hours.
I am arriving by ferry, not by plane.
We can meet the Lomprayah pier, Nathon. Tell us your sailing and we will arrange it.
My flight is delayed. What should I do?
Message us with the new arrival time and we will move the pickup. Your villa is held — a late arrival never loses it.
Arriving and leaving
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is 14:00 and check-out is 12:00.
Can I check in early?
Where the villa is ready, yes — and if you booked direct we will hold it for you wherever we can. It is the request we get most often, so tell us your arrival time and we will do our best.
Can I check out late?
Request by 10:00. Until 18:00 is charged at 50% of the room rate; after 18:00 at the full nightly rate. Early departures are non-refundable. Ask us and we will do what we can — availability permitting, and free where the villa is not needed.
Can I extend my stay once I am here?
Usually yes. Ask at reception and we will look at what is free.
Choosing a villa
Can I have a villa close to the beach?
The Beachfront Suite Villa is the only one standing on the sand — there is exactly one, villa 101. Deluxe Seaview villas have a view of the sea from the villa, but they are not beside it — worth knowing before you choose. Use the plan on the villas page to pick your spot, and tell us when you book.
Can I have a villa away from the road?
Yes — say so when you book. The quietest villas are the ones in the middle of the resort, whatever their type: far enough from the beach bar at one end and Chaweng Beach Road at the other. A few Superior villas sit close to the road and are not the quiet ones, so ask us rather than assuming.
Which villas have a private plunge pool?
Honeymoon, Private, Family and Grand Family Plunge Pool villas — all with Jacuzzi jets. That is 46 of the 114 rooms you can book.
What is the difference between Superior and Deluxe Garden?
Nothing but position. Same 38 sqm, same layout. Deluxe sits closer to the beach and the pool; Superior is set deeper in the garden and is quieter.
What bed will I get?
It is stated exactly on every villa page. Garden and Seaview villas have a queen and a single; Private Plunge Pool has a king; Beachfront Suite and Honeymoon have a queen; Grand Family has a king, a queen and a single.
Can we have adjoining villas?
The Grand Family villa is two villas joined by a terrace. For other types, ask and we will place you together where we can.
In the villa
Is there hot water?
Yes, in every villa, at all hours.
Does the air conditioning work well?
Every villa is air-conditioned, and units are serviced on a rolling schedule.
Are there power cuts?
Ko Samui occasionally has island-wide outages. They are usually brief.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Free throughout the resort, in the villas and on the beach.
What is in the villa?
Air conditioning, hot water, free Wi-Fi, a safe, a mini fridge, tea and coffee, and a private terrace. All villas are non-smoking.
Families
Can I have a cot?
Yes, free of charge. Please request it when you book so we have one ready.
What is your children’s policy?
Children under 6 stay free in their parents’ villa. Ages 6–11 are half rate. An extra bed is ฿800–฿1,500 a night, depending on season.
Which villa suits a family of five?
The Grand Family Plunge Pool Villa — 100 sqm across two joined villas, with a king, a queen and a single, and a plunge pool on the shared terrace.
Eating
Is breakfast included?
It depends on the rate you book. We have two: Room Only, and one with breakfast included. Added to a Room Only booking, breakfast is ฿300 per adult. It is served 07:00–10:00 at King Prawn Restaurant.
Is there dinner?
Not yet. King Prawn serves breakfast and lunch, 07:00–16:00, and the Pool & Beach Bar serves drinks and light food 11:00–19:00. Chaweng Beach Road is a short walk away and full of places to eat.
Can you cater for dietary needs?
Tell us before you arrive and the kitchen will accommodate what they can — vegetarian, allergies, and most requests.
The resort
Is the resort really on the beach?
Yes — 80 metres of Chaweng Beach directly in front, with the garden running down to it.
What time is the pool open?
Daily 07:00 to 19:00, for resort guests only.
Is the gym free?
Yes — the gym, the sauna, the steam room and the pool are all free for resort guests, with nothing to pay. Outside visitors can buy a day pass for ฿450, a week for ฿1,600 or a month for ฿2,500. The full price list is on the Wild Wood page.
Is there a spa?
No. The resort does not run a spa — some listings still say "& Spa" and that is out of date. There is a sauna, a steam room, a jacuzzi with an ice bath, a yoga shala and a massage sala on the beach.
What are the sauna and steam room hours?
The wellness facilities are open Daily 08:00–20:00; the sauna and steam room Daily 09:00–20:00. Free for resort guests — all facilities, no charge.
Is it noisy? It is in the middle of Chaweng.
The grounds run from Chaweng Beach Road down to the sand, with dense planting in between. Ask for a garden row if quiet matters most.
