- "Great pool, delicious food in the restaurant" - "So clean, property was beautifully designed. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Everything was fantastic. What a surprise to see a small birthday cake in my room for my partners birthday. Nice little touch in which they went above and beyond. Truly 5 star hospitality. (I work in hospitality too)" - "Canadian family of four, needing a break (and fresh air) from Bangkok. We had a wonderful time at the Vala and felt welcomed from the second we arrived. I had sent a text ahead of time indicating that I had to follow a very complicated and strict medical diet due to cancer complications. The minute we arrived to our room, a staff member (P’Jib) from the restaurant came to see us and seek details about the diet. I was told that they would absolutely accommodate and they did, for 3 meals a day during the entire stay. The food was wonderful and I felt welcomed by all staff the entire time. To think that I had almost cancelled the trip because of this strict diet, assuming that the hotel would not want or be able to cater to this added complications. This place is a gem, so is P’Jib (I hope I am spelling her name correctly!) and all the staff at the restaurant, the reception desk and the cleaning crew. My only regret is that I wasn’t able to see P’Jib on our final day there in order to hug her one more time and let her know how much her kindness meant to me, (it was more than about the great food), and that her level of empathy for the difficult health journey I was on had been a breath of fresh air."

- "Large room with plenty of space Staffs are very nice, good service mind and very helpful Breakfast is excellent! Plenty of choices to choose Lots of activities to do in the hotel" - "We never wanted to leave the resort because there was so much to do as a family. The kids played on the Wibit endlessly (and won the wibit challange!), we played mini golf and pickleball, jumped in the waves on the beach, and enjoyed the game room. Also, the breakfast was INCREDIBLE! The staff were super friendly and cheerful. We were switched to a different room halfway during our stay and both rooms were AMAZING."

- "Simply I did not want to leave, it was my perfect break. The hotel was excellent, the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel even supplied beach towels, bottles of water for the beach a bag to carry all in and the loungers on the beach are reserved for the hotel guests. Though I noted the hotel staff were continually asking non residents to move. For me a perfect hotel in a wonderful location." - "The ocean view villa was amazing. The interior atmosphere of the villa was so cozy with the local materials. The staff was really friendly, kind and smiley. The reception service was helpful and excellent english speaking. The territory of the the resort was stunning with the greens, flowers. Everything was clean and well organised. The beach, other bars, market and juices/smooth maker point were just few minutes walk from the resort. The beach was wonderful with the sunsets. It wasn't crowded. The menu of Reef Bar&Restaurant was delicious with colorful tastes. The cocktails were really creative and unique:)"
