Hotels With Bar in Surat Thani Province, Thailand

The hotel is 300 metres away from Seatran bus terminal so it makes the trip to Koh Samui easier. Ticket price for the bus transfer plus kferry to Koh Samui is 320 bahts. We stayed for a night only. The breakfast in the hotel is very simple and we took away and ate while waiting for the bus to the pier. There is a Chinese restaurant just in front of Seatran office and served nice Chinese dish with affordable price. The name is Chai huai restaurant.

1. The hotel is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, however if you want to take the train or the flight, the hotel is a kinda close to them. 2. The staff are very friendly, they are always there to help you. 3. The room is clean, however I have to say if you are a light sleeper, then you might need to consider it seriously because it is super super NOISY all the time, the hotel is at the interjection so you can basically hear the cars and the motorbikes passing by. Honestly I didn’t get any good sleep during my stay, what’s more is that the room’s soundproof is terrible too, you can hear your neighbors talking :)

Location is highly strategic, cleanliness is excellent, and the rooftop infinity pool is breathtaking. But the best part of staying in Cosi is Khun Cartoons at front desk; she is one-of-a-kind, her smile, personality, and service spirit. are in different level. She deserves a promotion and a hefty raises. The hotel is very lucky to have her on the team. Definitely return to see her again.

I stayed her for 2 nights after a fiasco with another hotel and It was a breath of fresh air. The location is great, there are shops, message parlor, food, other extra curriculars near by and its walking distance to Chaweng (it's a bit of a walk but can be done). The staff was thorough and very helpful, I also received a free room upgrade to the family suite which was really nice and spacious... Then I saw a lizard in the curtains next to a small hole in the wall under the window. The windows were closed upon my arrival so I figured It came in through there. With that The room was big and clean though thee shower was slightly clogged. The lighting in the restroom is quite dim and the sink fixture(faucet) is disproportionate to the sink itself. Nothing major but that really bothered me. I would have appreciated white towels as well. The cleaners replaced my linens but It was a bit of a struggle to get her to do It. The breakfast wasn't bad but It wasn't good either. The fried noodles, fruit, and juices were good. All was well until I came to my room to grab my bags to check out and a long bright green snake slithered from under my used towels. I wasn't too frightened because I figured you can't be too far from critters being that it's a tropical island. The snake may have come from the toilet or the hole in the wall that I mentioned earlier. There were some good things and places that need improvement but I felt welcomed to a clean space, I would recommend this hotel if you're spending a lot of time outside and need a place to lay your head. I wasn't able to make It to the pool but It looked nice and there's a bar at the pool.

Nice, basic hotel. No gym/pool, But a very large parking. 10 min ride to the center. Was written there is a bathtub in the room - but we got only a normal shower, so if its important to someone - notice it We have 3 kids, Reserved triple room, merged the beds - and the kids sleet with us. Was perfect.

Very good location Worth for money in such a good location with Wi-Fi /A/C, and hot shower ! And they have parking for free Helpful staff as well So over all we had a good stay !

Great Boutique hotel in Chaweng. Excellent value. The room were sparking clean and has everything one needs including beach towels and umbrellas. There is a pool but not gym which is fine. It is centrally located. The breakfast is OK but sufficient. Had a quick dinner meal one night since it was raining and had a long day and did not want to venture out to the many restaurants in the area. There was no one else so we did not have high expectations but the meals were excellent and my friend raved about the drink he got. The entire staff were excellent and so kind. Front desk were efficient and warm. The concierge had GREAT recommendations on tours. We took all the ones she recommended and were not disappointed. This part of Chaweng beach is OK. Not a swimmers beach, more of a just a dip in the ocean place. I was not able to take advantage of the Kayak but did that anyway on one of the tours we took. I love Samui and will definitely return and if staying in Chaweng will definitely want to be at The Stay again.

We had the most amazing 3 days 2 nights spent at The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui and we are so glad we made the decision to stay here for our honeymoon. The service provided by the staff was exceptional and greatly appreciated. They have demonstrated outstanding service which truly made a difference. Their attentiveness and hospitality made our experience even more memorable. Special mention to the Reservation Manager, Gine Castillo Aguenza and reception officer, Yady for their hospitality. Little touches such as the double room upgrade, bouquet of red roses, evening cocktail drinks at the lobby, cake in room, daily activities and the shuttle bus to Chaweng Beach did not go unnoticed and these are what made Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui so special! We look forward to returning in the near future!

Away from the hustle of central Chaweng, so is a good spot to be based for quiet times and used as a base to explore the island. Beachfront pool villas are nice, large and great views of the ocean. Private pool is a bonus and well worth the upgrade. Hotel was busy when I stayed and everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. The pool isn’t the largest but plentiful for the amount of rooms. Don’t forget, there are the villas with private pools, so a fair number of guests will be in their own area. Access to the beach is not directly in front of the hotel, but that’s a good thing otherwise I would be hearing everyone in front of my villa each day. Access is the side of the resort just past the restaurant. Along this stretch of beach has a few other hotel bars and restaurants to eat and drink in and if you head to the furtherest headland point, and head inland, you will come across a handful of bars and restaurants. As many people have said, the hotel is next to a road - but like most hotels in Samui, it’s just the design of the island. You can avoid the main road for your walk to the local area by going along the stretch of beach. And when you are on the island, why wouldn’t you want to walk along the beach?! So don’t listen to those comments about nothing nearby. If you want the hustle of the nightlife, Chaweng central is 15 minutes away. Get on the shuttle or order a taxi for 300thb. It’s a 4 star hotel, trying to get back to some kind of normal after covid and over time, I am sure the owners will reinvest their money to make improvements where some other guests have commented about in other posts but I do think it is dependent on the room type you book and/or are assigned as most of them are fine. Give it a go, it is worth it. I’ve been to many hotels over the years - more than the average Joe - and it’s only recently where I’ve checked in and out of two hotels on the same day in all these years.

The hotel is new, looks modern with a beautiful interior. Beautiful pool, reception. The location is not bad, not the first line, but the beach is only 3-5 minutes away. The reception staff is nice and helpful. The choice of dishes at breakfast is modest, egg dishes are freshly prepared according to your choice, but it is difficult to find something else. There are a couple of Thai dishes (like curry and vegetables), but if they run out, they do not change quickly. Yogurt, some fruit, muesli, something from the salad bar. The pastries are not very tasty. The hotel opened less than a month ago, but the furniture already shows signs of wear (either there was a flood, or such materials are ”high quality”). We were also upset by the crowds of ants in the room: in the bathroom, in the closet .. from the second time there were fewer of them ... but we were afraid to leave anything .. The balcony of the room overlooked the stairs and the elevator, fortunately the sound of the elevator being called was heard only in the evening, and not at night. Our room had two separate beds: the bed was a little narrower than the standard 1.5 both in width and length. In principle, considering the low price, everything was fine/good (except for the ants). At a higher price, it would be difficult to recommend this hotel.

A perfect staycation! You literally got everything you need in the resort for 3 days of activities and chill - pools , snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, yoga and more! Best resort experience ever. The exchange of exclusivity is this resort is distance away from the main road and busy districts, but the shuttle service or grab will get you to wherever you want to go ( p.s. transportation is expensive in Koh Samui

We booked a suite with one bedroom and two balconies. It’s big enough for a small family. Cleaning service comes every day. Kind stuff, prompt service. There is a small beach in the front of the hotel. A few restaurants around, including one in the resort. Big C and Seven 11 nearby.

This is my favorite hotel ever Holiday Inn Samui. Perfectly Breakfast, Fully furnished room, Big swimming pool, Kids playground, Kids Club and etc.I have to mention this; we met ‘Khun Nim’ at the great breakfast restaurant and she took our family to the Kid club… After 3 days our child almost sleep there. They’ve got 3 or 4 staffs am not sure to take care of your children and also break time to clean the room, toys and etc. For parents are perfect cause you can leave them there, some information paper to sign, just don’t worry they’ve lots of activities for your children; playing, listening, watching, painting, drawing and climbing. We need more time here.

Great place for most people romantic meal with entertainment or a later night party! I came with my partner we’re in the 35+ age range and we enjoyed a reasonably priced tasty meal, watched the fire show which I believe is every evening at 8pm. It was a cool addition to the evening and was good entertainment. We left around 9 as it was wrapping up. Would definitely go again. The bear bar area is cool vibes. A bit Ibiza beach club vibe, trendy lights and tunes but not too bold or in your face. You have a romantic dinner. If you want to stay on and party and be wild I’m certain that’s a an option but it’s not my partners thing so we left. All staff were friendly and we were overall very happy

The hotel is 300 metres away from Seatran bus terminal so it makes the trip to Koh Samui easier. Ticket price for the bus transfer plus kferry to Koh Samui is 320 bahts. We stayed for a night only.

Very good location Worth for money in such a good location with Wi-Fi /A/C, and hot shower ! And they have parking for free Helpful staff as well So over all we had a good stay !

We stayed here a couple of nights. Check-in was quick and easy, the room clean, and the bed comfortable. We had the included breakfast the first morning and it was fine, the lady working in there kept everything in order and was cleaning up as needed. There is one thing however, it's not really a negative and it didn't effect my final score but there isn't much to see in the general area and it can be difficult finding transportation if you are out walking.

We had to spend just one night before taking the ferry at good time the next morning and we chose this hotel . Super !!! Not disappointed !!! The hotel is very well placed ! The hotel is very clean and very clean. In the room, the bed is especially big, you can even sleep at 4 so the bed is large, everything is functional, a large office full of electrical takes, a beautiful shower, even the shampoo and the shower freezing feel good, everything is perfect. The only small blame: a big hiding cord that separates the room from the shower room, and toilets...a little disturbing for the toilets... and the white plastic shower cord that denotes with the super decor of the room... but sincerely for the The staff is really adorable. If I go back to Suratthani, I will go back without hesitate to this hotel !!! It's an exceptional price quality ratio!! 👍🏼 Bravo for deco !!! Bravo for everything !!! 👍🏼

The room was clean, the view was beautiful, the breakfast buffet was very good, but nothing special. Quiet and beautiful swimming pool during the day (there are many Thais after 4 pm); opposite the Yichu Lotus (5 minutes walk), very close to the city center shopping mall, and there are shuttle buses! When going out, don't take the blue tucktuck taxi in front of the hotel (they are special pits), if you want to go to the city center during the day. Just wait at the bus stop in front of the hotel... Tickets are about 10 to 20 baht, depending on the number of stops.

The room is clean, the air conditioner is cool, the parking lot is spacious. Suitable for relaxation/work. I like this place so I come to stay every month.

Clean and cozy hotel with strategic location. We travelled from DMK airport (Bangkok) to URT airport (Surat Thani), and stayed overnight at the hotel before departing from Donsak Pier (Surat Thani) to Nathon Pier (Koh Samui). The hotel is really located in the middle of our travel route, and thus together with clean room and standard amenities we called it PERFECT!

Delighted to find that Evergreen (and many other hotels) are opening again all across Thailand. While there is still no international tourism in the country, local tourists and business travelers are beginning to play a role in economic recovery. The hotel continues to provide an excellent product. Welcoming, convenient, clean and comfortable. And a good sized carpark too (which was totally full as we left early morning, so clearly business is pretty good). We will be back!

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay here. The location of the hotel is amazing, on the beach along a very busy ***** of restaurants and beach bars which was great. However, the hotel itself was sadly a let down. The hotel keep whistling birds in cages just outside the hotel rooms so expect to be woken at all hours by birds whistling louder than we could believe. The room we were in was very basic to the point where the only plug socket was by the front door, so to dry my hair I had to stand at the front door with no mirror or chair… The shower was a fixed height (very low) so my partner had to be on his knees to wash his hair and I had to bend significantly despite not being very tall. The room was very dark with basically no natural light at all throughout the day. The bedding was just a thick blanket, that I imagine isn’t washed between guests, in between two loose sheets so the blanket kept coming out of the sheets. The toilet was very temperamental and wouldn’t always flush properly. One positive is that the air con was strong however to circulate the air we also had the fan on and this made an annoying screeching noise when it turned to a certain point, which again, woke us up during the night. We didn’t have breakfast because we had a look at what was on offer and decided to go elsewhere as there are lots of nice local places to eat. The staff also weren’t the most pleasant and even got our dates confused when we checked in. Sadly wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

We booked Villa cha cha in last minute. They charged us really high price around. Hotel situation is amazing but hotel is not good for stay. They have many rooms but just have 6 sunbeds, no sunbed around poolside, the staff did not clean tables, sunbed mats during our stay, breakfast area is also dirty and smelly. All windows has finger print and oily. We were really worry about hygiene cause we visited island after covid. They do not care about hygiene!!!!!! By the way I wanted get coffee from breakfast area around 7:45 am, the staff (name is KAE) did not allow me to take. But I saw someone who is gonna check out easily have their beeakfast at the same time. If you want to save your money and stay comfort do not stay at this hotel anyway. They charged us around 700 usd for 5 days. Basic bungalows are better then to stay at villa cha cha! Don’t be deceived their location and hotel pictures.

Stayed here for 3 days, think it's family run lodge. The hotel room key was really a key, a big one. The door creaked when opening but overall the room was nice, amenities was good. When requested for a kettle, the kind old lady provided me very fast....very nice. Pity did not make use of the swimming pool as it was hot for 2 of the days there. A short walk to a food court nearby, Thongsala Square (where the race start)...and the Walking Street where they had a nice night bazaar on Saturday, pity it rained halfway. Also a short walk to Phantip Market area. But definitely need taxi to the site of Full Moon Party lol Yes, also had a lot of tour agencies just outside the hotel. And laundry services, I did mine at a cheap 80 baht...and it came back ironed and with a nice fragance ...Highly recommended. (ok, they do have some self service laundry too at 30 bht per kg??? but definitely not ironed??)

Thankful that this property was available for us to book during the busy April 2023 Full Moon Party season. For a beachfront property with a swimming pool, I find their rates are super cheap. We arrived at noon time and we were allowed to check in immediately. Our room was spacious and came with a veranda. The place could be cleaner but it never got a point that we felt it was bothersome. Make sure your windows are locked! On our third night, we discovered our windows were unlocked from the get go but luckily all our belongings were intact. The staff were friendly and helpful. The resort is within walking distance to the Full Moon Party and Haad Rin Pier so that's definitely a huge plus. If you're planning to party and just need a decent and affordable place to crash, then this is it.

We originally booked a fan room above the dive shop. When we arrived and realized how hot that was going to be, we asked to be moved to the beach side bungalows with air conditioners. It was well worth the extra price per night. The difference in the bed comfort, the pillows, and the spaciousness of the room and bathroom was pretty dramatic. We had a king bed (two full beds pushed together) and it wasn't as uncomfortable as it sounds. We slept very well each night. The thick curtains completely blocked out most of the light and the air conditioner worked perfectly. We had a fridge and safe in the room and the resort provided 2 bottles of water every day when they cleaned the room. We had a view of the pool and beach. The morning dives leave from the beach right there at the resort making it very convenient to have multiple dives per day. The pricing was reasonable and similar to other resorts in the area, but this place had more of a feeling of camaraderie. We really enjoyed hanging out with the other divers and the employees. The resort is close enough to town to be within walking distance so we went out most every day for shopping/massages/lunch. The restaurant attached to the resort has an extensive menu that is well priced with inexpensive drink specials during happy hour. The pool table is free to use (not the case with other bars in town.) Have Coco make you a margarita and play a game of pool with you (ask him what his favorite shot is.) When it was time for us to leave, the receptionist sat down with us to give us travel tips and places to see for the rest of our time in Thailand. She was very friendly and helpful. We feel like we hit the jackpot with this resort. It had everything we needed, a dive center where I could complete my OW and AOW certifications, restaurant, bar, beach and pool. We will absolutely put this on our list of places to stay in the future when we travel to Thailand again.

The service at the Tarna Align resort is impeccable. They keep you in touch via Whatsapp and are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Golf buggies take you anywhere you want to go into Sairee and then bigger vans for the pier. They provide good amenities eg toothpaste. We stayed in a Villa Sea View room which had absolutely stunning views and a great balcony. It was a short trip into Sairee for walks in the day or for night time activities. The only downside was the room. 1. It was incredibly dark with all the lights on at night with no option to have brighter lights on. 2. The bedside table is a small floating shelf next to the bed and sloped downwards so in the night things would fall off onto the floor. 3. The only way to control lighting and air con was by a panel on one side of the bed which meant if one person fell asleep the other person had to try and get out to get to the panel. 4. Beware of the glass door to the toilet- we both walked into it and bruised ourselves as it was so clean and see through. Could benefit from stickers on it to prevent this. 5. The fridge is right behind the bed and very noisy so we had to unplug it at night to sleep

THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED AT IN THAILAND. Apologies for shouting, but I had an incredible experience of staying in the Dearly hostel. Hostel/Dorms: I stayed for a week in a female dorm which I would recommend - sheets changed every 3 days, new towels available daily if needed, clean and nice smelling space, and comfortable beds that were not bunk beds. Modern and fresh decor with partitions between beds for more privacy. Such a simple and smart solution! Lovely and friendly cleaning ladies as well:)) The hostel itself surrounded by palm trees; I would definitely recommend to check out their common space on the 3rd floor (pictures attached). Shared Bathroom: clean, modern and nicely smelling bathrooms with shampoo and soap provided in the showers. Diving: I did the PADI open water course organised via dear hostel. As I was staying for a week the hostel offers a good deal for the accommodation combined with diving. The big advantage is a deep swimming pool at the hostel where you can practise diving skills before going into the open water. The swimming pool itself was great - they use salt instead of chlorine, which is both appreciated for the skin and hair. I would definitely recommend the diving instructor we had - Fam - who made us feel comfortable and ready to move from the swimming pool to open water diving. When speaking with other people staying in the hostel they also had a very positive experience with their diving instructors. Social: the hostel organised daily activities which were written on the blackboard in the lobby. I have not participated in many as I have been diving/studying for diving at the time, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other ppl. Personally, I made the most connections in my dorm bed and during breakfasts:) really great people and smiley faces with people wanting to be approachable. For partying we were going to the Sairee beach part of the island. This is not a party hard hostel, but it had a very good atmosphere of pre-drinks before going out and having a beer with some friends. Staff: very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff. Good email communication as well:) Breakfast: served 7-10 am; very useful to have it in the hostel when doing morning dives; everyday breakfast included toast, pancakes, fruit in coconut milk, and a rice/rice noodle dish. This was the first hostel breakfast I could eat in Thailand as I have food allergies and the rice/rice noodle dish was always very tasty. I recommended this hostel to three of my travel friends & all really enjoyed their stay here. For me, there is no other hostel alternative on Koh Tao ;) definitely will be back for another diving session! Thank you!

Had a great time staying in this hotel. Staffs are friendly and helpful. They gave me a discount on my room when i decided to stay extra day for the full moon party. Andy(i'm not sure if i remember it correctly) is very helpful in suggesting places to visit. He even treat us some beer. For breakfast they only have ala carte and food vouchers for those who will buy breakfast with the room. The room is huge, simple and the location of the aircon is perfect not facing the bed directly. I had a problem with the safe even when I entered the code correctly it wont open and the front officer helped me open it. My biggest problem in my stay is the amount of mosquitoes in the room. I had many mosquitoes bite and it was very itchy. I wished they had something in the room to kill the mosquitoes because even if i keep on asking them to spray my room there are still some mosquitoes left.

We stayed one night at the Pier when our ferry was cancelled at the last minute. It was conveniently located and met our needs. Firstly the positives: the room was clean and price was right. It was easy walking distance to the ferries and to a nice food market. That said, on the whole this place could be so much more. However, staff literally could not have been more rude. Closing the bar early, but being quite happy to sit around with their friends drinking. Also, we were not given a hammock despite this being a feature of staying here. Lastly, the location while convenient is on a rather characterless beach that is frequented by stray dogs that move in packs and really made a pest of themselves. The furniture is old and breaking down and the whole resort looks in a state of decline. As mentioned, the price is fine though I believe for a similar price you can stay at a location where staff are at least a little pleased you're there. Not my favourite, but also not the worst. I'd give 2 1/2 stars if possible.

The location is perfect, especially the bungalows below, right on the beach and the incredible sunsets, the breakfast is very brief, the food is good but a little expensive, the bungalows are very good, but the worst thing is the staff, they don't smile never and it's hard for them to serve you something, without a doubt the most unpleasant of all the hotels I've been to... the pool, puff... green, but how dirty it is... I would repeat but only for the location, peace and rest .. thank you
