Vivi Boutique Room Hotel

Needed some sunshine so I joined a group of friends heading to Rawai Beach. I wasn't sure what to expect when my friends told me the price, I was incredibly pleasantly surprised. Gio and his partner Natalie are great hosts, and not sure if it is what they send out of if it is what the hotel attracts but my entire time there I felt like I was hanging out with a group of friends that I had known since forever. Evenings by the pool drinking beers together and sharing snacks, the monk that does traditional tattoos, Gio and his never ending stories about his travels, and the patience of his partner Natalie. Amazing hosts. The hotel staff is on point. Beds and rooms cleaned daily, they will do your wash off site for a very reasonable fee. Close to beaches (Rawai Beach is stunning) close to bars and clubs, but far enough off the main road that you can actually sleep well. Gio was kind enough to organize a scooter for me while there and so I found a scooter delivered (and later rendered) from the hotel. No muss, no fuss. I cant wait to go back next year.
