Reviews
Angel Coulby - Jan 6,2025
We had an absolutely magical time at this gorgeous villa. Sam and his lovely team looked after us beautifully, and the food they cooked was just sublime. For me Sam’s egg hoppers remain unrivalled! The setting is just perfect. Being right on the beach was such a treat, and each evening we would watch the sunset with a sundowner in hand. Just a dreamy experience from beginning to end. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Robbie Lawson - Jan 2,2025
The perfect setting for our holiday reunion with friends from Europe. Sam & his team are excellent: supreme cooks, with helpful local advice and discreet cleaning. The beach felt like it was our own. Rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and high-ceilinged. Highly recommended.
Eddie Elks - Jan 2,2025
What a fantastic week. We stayed at Skye House over Xmas and had a wonderful time. 4 families with kids of different ages. It was ideal. Sam and his team looked after us perfectly. The food was consistently exceptional, the service attentive and understated. It is an experience that will live long in all our memories. Thank you Sam! (fyi the negative reviews for Skye House on google are clearly posted with malicious intent. Ignore.)
Imran Hyder - Dec 5,2024
16 of us friends stayed at Skye House and we had the most amazing time - the villa was more beautiful than we had hoped! And the team including chef Sam (amazing food!) were so kind and helpful. I’d highly recommend Skye house!!We were worried when seeing some of the other very negative reviews but the staff informed us they are fake reviews posted by either competitors or disgruntled locals.
Emma Khouri - Dec 4,2024
We spent 5 nights in this gorgeous beach villa. We travelled two families with young children and we cannot fault anything in this beautiful accommodation. Chef Sam and his team took amazing care of us and the food cooked for us was five star! The villa is meticulously clean, large pool, big rooms, beautiful water feature with koi fish that is just a serene view every morning. the beach is right in front of the villa. there is even a playground climbing structure for the children and large lawn to run around. Nothing was too much of a hassle or ask. We had a masseuse come to the villa as well as very nice van organized for us to take us on a day trip. Each day, Chef Sam and his team cooked up a wonderful breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. His brownies are probably the best we've EVER had and we are well travelled people. Once again, thanks to everyone at Skye House management and team for making our stay unforgettable.
