Posted on Oct 15, 2026|Clay Beach Samui V1 (5 Bedroom Beachfront Villa)
Guest UserWe had such a great stay at Clay Beach Samui with our family and friends. The villa was beautiful, and we absolutely loved the view and the atmosphere. Everything felt peaceful and relaxing, and being right on the beach with a private pool made the whole experience even better.
One of the things we enjoyed most was how much we could do without having to leave the villa. We tried several of the in-villa experiences, including the floating breakfast, cocktails, and spa treatments, and it was such a nice way to enjoy our time there. Everything added something special to the holiday, and we loved having the freedom to spend the day however we wanted.
The outdoor space and activities were also great. With the garden, trampoline, badminton, and paddleboards, there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. Having direct access to the beach was a big plus too, as we could easily move between the pool and the sea throughout the day. It was especially nice being able to enjoy all of this together without needing to plan trips outside.
Honestly, one of my favourite things was just spending time at the villa. We could enjoy breakfast by the pool, swim, relax with the beautiful view, spend time at the beach, and enjoy the facilities at our own pace. It made the holiday feel effortless, and there was never any pressure to go out and find something to do.
The staff were also great and helped make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We really appreciated the service, and the private chef was another highlight. The food was delicious, and having meals prepared for us at the villa made dining together with family and friends even more enjoyable. It was a lovely experience to have everything in one place and simply focus on enjoying our time together.
What made Clay Beach Samui stand out for us was the overall experience. It wasn't just about having a beautiful villa; it was the combination of the views, the beachfront location, the relaxing atmosphere, the activities, and the service that made our stay memorable. Everyone had something to enjoy, and we could spend quality time together while still having plenty of space to relax.
Overall, we had a fantastic holiday at Clay Beach Samui. It's a wonderful place for families and groups of friends looking for a beautiful beachfront villa with great facilities and thoughtful in-villa experiences. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to others visiting Koh Samui.
A big thank you to the entire Clay Beach Samui team for making our holiday such a great experience. We hope to come back again soon! ❤️

Tutti.ToeteeReview: A Beautiful, Design-Led Oasis in Fisherman’s Village
We recently stayed at the Hansar Samui, and it is truly a beautiful property with a thoughtful design. The location is perfect—just a short, pleasant stroll away from Fisherman’s Village, making it easy to explore the local area while still feeling like you have a quiet retreat to return to.
The Highlights
Dining Experience: The breakfast was a standout. I particularly appreciated having eggs made fresh to order; there is nothing worse than pre-cooked, rubbery eggs left under heat lamps, so this was a huge bonus for me.
The Vibe: The swimming pool is lovely, and the beach is kept very clean. The hotel maintains a relaxed atmosphere, complemented by a great selection of background music.
Service & Little Touches: The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. I loved the ”turn-down” service around 5:00 PM, where housekeeping brought little chocolates and water—an adorable touch that made us feel looked after.
Facilities: The gym is clean and well-maintained. Crucially for those working remotely, the Wi-Fi was excellent and reliable enough for me to take Zoom meetings without any issues.
Room Design: The rooms are beautifully decorated with stunning balconies and views. The bathroom was a highlight, especially the large rainfall shower.
Room Comfort & Maintenance
We did have a significant issue with the bed. The mattresses are very soft, which didn't suit us at all as my husband has a bad back. It made sleeping quite difficult. However, the staff were wonderful and tried their best to accommodate us; they helped remove the mattress so we could sleep on the wooden base with just the mattress topper. While not ”luxury” comfort, it was much better for his back than the soft mattress.
We also had a few issues with a temperamental toilet flush, but to the hotel's credit, maintenance was very prompt in coming to fix it each time.
Dining & Logistics
We had dinner at the restaurant one evening, ordering the Massaman curry and Chicken Panang. While the food was edible, it was just ”okay”—we were perhaps expecting a bit more given how high the quality of breakfast was. That said, the view from the restaurant in the evening is spectacular, and they occasionally have lovely entertainment.
One small hiccup occurred when we booked a taxi through the hotel to take us to the pier for our trip to Koh Phangan. The driver unfortunately dropped us at the wrong port. We had to quickly catch a Grab to the correct one, but luckily we made it just in time for our ferry.
Overall
Despite a few minor glitches, this was a wonderful stay. The aesthetic of the hotel is gorgeous, and the professionalism of the staff ensures that any issues are handled quickly. I would definitely recommend Hansar for anyone looking for a stylish and relaxed stay in Samui!

Guest UserThe room is spacious, beautiful, and the facilities are relatively new. From the balcony, you can enjoy jungle and sea views. Since the rooms are nestled in the jungle on a hillside, you'll need to call a golf cart shuttle (available 24 hours) to get around. There's also a walking path alongside the building that leads to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed walking through the jungle to breakfast every morning. The pool area with sea views is absolutely stunning. The overall design of the hotel is exceptional, and the lobby views are also beautiful. It's a shame we didn't get to see the sunset due to the rainy season.

Posted on Feb 25, 2026|Two Bedroom Pool Villa
Guest UserDuring the Chinese New Year, hotel prices were outrageous. I unexpectedly booked this hotel, which had very few Chinese guests, and the price was very reasonable. To my surprise, the rooms were quite good, spacious, and both rooms had small balconies. The hotel environment was also nice, with two swimming pools, one by the sea and one outside the villas. The rooms were generally clean, but the air conditioning hadn't been cleaned in a long time; you could see a layer of dust in the vents. The hotel breakfast was a bit disappointing, with not much choice or variety, and no kids' meals, which wasn't very friendly for picky eaters. The hotel is within walking distance of a local restaurant with good reviews (recommended on Xiaohongshu for beautiful sunset views). Although most staff didn't speak Chinese, they were very enthusiastic. Except for one male front desk staff member wearing glasses. When checking in, I mentioned my early flight and was advised to pre-order a breakfast box the day before. However, this staff member kept trying to get me to book a car (a private van costs 700, the hotel charges 1000). I said three times that I wanted to order breakfast, but he acted as if he didn't hear me. It wasn't until I said I wasn't booking a car and just wanted breakfast that he told me to go eat at the restaurant myself! He had a disdainful attitude throughout. I've been to so many countries and so many hotels, and this is the first time I've encountered such terrible service.

Guest UserWe had a wonderful stay at Dara Samui. The receptionist was super kind and showed us all the amenities, explained clearly all the rules and time check in/out time, cleaning times, pool and breakfast times. They upgraded our room the highest level, so we were right by the pool with a very private garden and lots of privacy. The room was incredible and the shower was outdoor which made it super special. I am really grateful to the staff for their kindness. The cleaner was really good as well, she even gave us some flies insecticide due to the amount of flies near the bushes which can’t be helped in this heat. The breakfast has good variety from fruit, salads, yogurts, cereals, an egg station for eggs freshly made in any possible way (even crepes and omelettes). Also curry, rice, various meats, sushi and potatoes. Really good selection. The pool is nice and clean but most of all, very picturesque with beautiful flowers all around. It made the experience magical. Definitely would stay there again. 10/10 🙏

Guest UserThe hotel is beautiful, cozy, and green. We stayed in room S07, which was close to the beach. It's a two-story building with four rooms, and we were on the second floor. We didn't hear anyone, and although the terrace was shared by two rooms, we never saw our neighbors, and the terrace itself was quite spacious. The room was simply fantastic, decorated in a Thai style with wood everywhere, including the floor. The bathroom had tiles.
We booked a room with a bathtub and a shower with a door. I don't think I've ever seen a room cleaned so immaculately in my life. Please commend the staff member responsible. It was simply perfect. They didn't just clean; they beautifully arranged everything, including our glasses, towels, and bathrobes. Not a single grain of sand was to be found. My heartfelt thanks.
The beds were good, and the linens and towels were white and new. The air conditioning was a bit noisy but very well-placed, not blowing directly onto the bed. For me personally, this is the most important factor when choosing a hotel.
The breakfasts were delicious: coffee, tea (which you could brew in a kettle), pastries, eggs, soups, Thai dishes, and some European options. The croissants were fantastic. There was plenty of fruit, and some seafood dishes were also available.
The beach is beautiful, but there are some rocks and seaweed to the right, so everyone tends to move to the left, which makes it feel a bit crowded there.
It's important to note that there are clubs nearby with loud music playing almost all night, and planes fly overhead, with the first one acting as an alarm clock at 7 AM and the last one around 10 PM. They don't fly at night.
There's a market, plenty of cafes, and a shopping center nearby.
Overall, despite being in the very center and near clubs, the hotel managed to maintain a green and quiet environment, and it was perfectly clean. I recommend it.

Guest UserFirst of all, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the hotel! I honestly didn't expect to have such a great vacation in Asia! 🥹 Let's start with the staff! I have to commend their perfect work! They do everything so quietly, you barely notice their presence! But they are definitely working! Always with pleasant smiles, greetings, and ready to help! 🥹
Regarding the rooms: we stayed as a family of 2 adults and 2 children (7 and 11 years old). We ran into some difficulties here. The family room didn't accommodate 4 people (although the room description said it would), so I had to contact Trip.com support! And you won't believe it! They reimbursed me for the difference the hotel charged for the extra bed. (In total, the hotel charged 1000 baht per day for accommodation + meals for the 7-year-old child). The room itself was very spacious, stylish, and comfortable! A huge balcony with a table and chairs! 🥹 The hotel also provides waffle bathrobes!
I want to especially highlight the location! It's perfect! There's a huge night market nearby with European food! (Moms will understand), and Thai cafes are also available! The sea in this area in June is ideal. I specifically went to Chaweng to swim, but I liked it more here! There were enough sun loungers for everyone, even during peak times! The sand was cleaned! The beach was cleared of trash and the sand was raked! ❤️
Just a few more words about breakfast! I know how important this is for parents! The children could always find something to eat! A huge selection of fruits. Eggs in any form, muesli! They even made mashed potatoes (not from powder)! The only thing, as others have mentioned, is the excessive amount of chlorine in the pool! The smell was even noticeable outside. Perhaps the hotel should pay attention to this!
Overall, I *highly* recommend it! I will definitely return!
Oh! And the cleanliness! I was shocked! Perfectly clean!

Guest UserOverall, the hotel doesn't offer good value for money and feels more like a 3-star property.
1. The rooms are very small. They're fine for two people, but we saw a family of three trying to squeeze in, and it looked very cramped. Soundproofing is poor; you can hear doors moving in the next room and footsteps from upstairs. There are no bathrobes or slippers in the rooms.
2. When booking, consider the building's location – try to get one away from the restaurant. Otherwise, the restaurant's air conditioning kicks in at 5:30 AM and hums loudly all day. This noise forced us to change rooms, which took a full day. We also had issues with an irritable front desk agent who insisted we check out at 12:00 PM but said our new room wouldn't be ready until 3:00 PM. We disagreed, but he refused to help and yelled at us. This inappropriate behavior from the agent really soured our vacation. He refused to call a manager and even lied, claiming he *was* the manager. We had to find the general manager ourselves to resolve the issue. Thankfully, we were eventually helped and moved to a new room by 10:30 AM.
3. Breakfast was decent, with a good variety, and there was always enough food.
4. The pool is shallow (1.20m), really only suitable for children. It's also noisy on the grounds during the day.
5. The beach is clean and nice.
6. There are plenty of sun loungers.
7. They organize volleyball games at 5:00 PM.
8. In the evenings, neighboring hotels set up tables on the beach for dinner, but this hotel doesn't offer that.
Perhaps if it weren't for the rude front desk agent at the start of our stay, our experience would have been much more positive!

Tina GoodenoughBooked a sea view room, located on a hillside, and the views were absolutely unbeatable. The room was also spotlessly clean, and the air conditioning worked great. The breakfast buffet offered different options every day, and we also got a free hour of kayaking. The restaurant had a different themed dinner set menu every night, and the food was delicious. Very satisfied overall.

The hotel has really beautiful surroundings, a nice room, and a pool. However, it was very windy and the water was dirty, and there's no beach directly at the hotel. You have to walk to get to the beach. Other than that, everything was great! So beautiful!
