We booked a villa in Thailand. We were a bit unsure about the process, as this was our first time using Isle Blue. I must say from beginning to end it was a fantastic experience. They were very responsive and available for our inquires. They were patient as well. As stated, we were concerned with sending payment not having used the company before. They explained things and helped us with setting up the logistics. The trip was also planned last min, approx. two weeks lead time. The villa was amazing. Everything was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed and our kids had the best time. The villa staff were so professional and accommodating. They had several pool toys ready to go for our three children. We were given kayaks and also offered movie night set up outside. We had the most amazing time. There were so many great moments and memories made. Everything was so seamless and smooth. From the pickup at the airport to the full staff welcome when we arrived, and departed. I will say, booking through Isle Blue is a bit more in cost, as opposed to going directly through the property, but not by much. We would use Isle Blue again as they were great to work with. Thank you!
