Koh Samui Hotels with Gym

The villa's location was great, the beach was fantastic, and the private pool was lovely! The rooms were just average, and the decor felt a bit outdated. The bedrooms, in particular, were quite ordinary. I personally didn't care for the high ceilings. The shower, however, was excellent! The rainforest showerhead was a real treat! The butler service was practically nonexistent. They said they'd add me on WhatsApp but then disappeared. They also seemed to follow a strict process and didn't explain many things clearly. I usually ended up calling '0' to sort things out myself, as I never knew where the butler was. The breakfast restaurant was a disaster; I ordered coffee twice, and it never arrived. The division of labor seemed chaotic, with multiple people asking for my room number. Check-in was also disorganized, with different staff members handling things at various times. The service felt haphazard. Lots of staff, but ineffective! The staff's English was noticeably poor, and their accents were very strong. They also seemed robotic and lacked a personal touch. When I emailed previously, I had to get Ctrip to chase them for a reply. Compared to the service at Anantara where I stayed a few days prior, it was a huge step down. Also, constantly having to take a buggy to get around was quite inconvenient. And the main pool being under maintenance during my stay was also quite disappointing. However, I must specifically commend the beach staff here. The new boss (name) was absolutely wonderful! This was the best staff member at the entire hotel!! He taught me how to sail!! He helped me move kayaks and SUPs! His English was much better than the other staff, and his attitude was extremely friendly!! He added so much value to this hotel!!

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Fantastic clean massive room with everything you would need, gorgeous balcony and daily maid service. Brilliant evening entertainment and great cocktails all within walking distance of some of the nicest restaurants and bars on Koh Samui and right near Coco Tams for fire show and Fisherman’s village a vibrant night market. Oh i forgot to mention breakfast was lovely so much variety and all well cooked. The staff were all very pleasant too,

What I liked: 1) The room view and its size (but we paid a significant amount extra for it, because the initial room was impossible to sleep in - more on that below) 2) Quick problem resolution by staff 3) Daily, high-quality cleaning 4) Huge, comfortable bed, good pillows 5) Quiet in the new building, comfortable for sleeping What I didn't like: 1) Initially, we had booked a deluxe room with a garden view. Upon check-in, we were extremely tired after three flights and almost immediately fell asleep. We woke up at midnight to some wild noises (which turned out to be frogs) that didn't stop, and it was impossible to sleep. The old door had a huge gap, through which the sound barely diminished, as if we were sleeping outdoors. We had to urgently request a room change. Ultimately, they promptly provided us with a replacement in the new building, which was 1.5 times larger in area and 1.5 times more expensive, so we had to pay a significant amount extra, but it was worth it. 2) The breakfasts were terrible - stale bread and overripe fruit; the chef's eggs Benedict were mediocre. In the end, we went elsewhere for breakfast. 3) The air conditioning was very loud, making it impossible to sleep with it on, so we ended up sleeping without it.

This was our second time at Garrya Tongsai Bay, and we truly love it here. The staff throughout the entire hotel provide exceptional service, always warm, genuine, and making you feel valued. We were particularly touched when a server at the restaurant remembered us from last year—it really shows that the hotel has a very comprehensive and thoughtful guest service training system in place. The dining is also fantastic; both the seafood restaurant and the Thai restaurant are delicious. The hotel has its own private beach, and while the sand is a bit coarse, it's incredibly comfortable for relaxing. While the room facilities are a bit dated, the excellent service far outweighs any minor hardware issues, making for an overall superb vacation experience. We've already decided we'll be back again and genuinely recommend this hotel.

The 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.

Where to start? Silavadee was truly our signature resort stay in Koh Samui, and we chose the Tropical Pool Villa for our two-night stay. My only regret is listening to my wife when she suggested experiencing another area of Koh Samui, which meant we had to move to another hotel after Silavadee. This is a perfect resort for couples, with some of the most spectacular villas we experienced during our Thailand honeymoon. Everything in the room has been carefully selected and thoughtfully placed, from the special slippers and tote bag to the beautiful kimonos and even the yoga mat. You can really feel the attention to detail throughout the property. The staff were courteous, warm and very attentive to all of our requests and inquiries. We genuinely felt welcomed throughout our stay, and the team deserves a lot of credit for that. There is, however, one area that I personally feel the Silavadee management team should address. During our Thailand honeymoon, we stayed at six different hotels, and unfortunately, Silavadee had the weakest breakfast in terms of overall variety. We also tried the burger and pizza by the pool, but both were quite bland and, in my opinion, did not reflect the quality of the resort itself. A property of this calibre deserves an equally impressive food experience. That said, I have to give a special mention to the noodle station at breakfast. It was fantastic. The young chef working there was creating genuinely magnificent noodle dishes, with very well-balanced use of condiments and flavours. It was easily one of the highlights of the breakfast for us. Despite the points mentioned above, Silavadee completely stole our hearts. It is a beautiful, intimate and romantic resort, and we were genuinely sad to leave after only two nights. We hope to return one day, hopefully during a period with better weather and in the high season, so we can experience Silavadee at its very best.

Another Amari disappointing stay. first was amari hua hin and 2nd is this hotel. stayed in amari koh samui for 4nights, we just got back from koh samui a few days ago. location wise sure cant deny that, it's by the beach front, 5 mins drive away from central koh samui mall and walking from the night life but so does other resorts around the area. when you get to the hotel specially after paying so much per night and to be classified as a 5 star hotel, you expect a good service, a 5 star service. Specially when the first point of contact to the customer service is the front staffs, however very disappointing. Most, if not all of the staffs doesnt seem to smile at all. We arrived early so we had lunch first and sure they managed to give us earlier check in at almost 2pm, their check in is at 3pm. we let it go perhaps we were just too tired and sensitive as we just arrived in koh samui and it was humid, however, throughout our stay their customer service was absolutely lacking. VERY LACKING. specially a few staffs driving the buggy service, we even had an accident one time when we were on our way back to the room, one of the driver drove so fast, THEY ALL DRIVE REALLY FAST, and he rammed onto one of the on coming buggy, i was holding my baby so tight. luckily nothing happened to us. same buggy driver who was had a grumpy look the entire stay and we saw him throwing luggages on to the buggy instead of handling them with care. so when you are taking a buggy, tell them to drive slow. the room, we booked a connecting room, which was a mistake. booking 2 rooms would have been cheaper but anyhow, the room was not clean at all, the bathtub was moldy the floors felt dirty and there were alot of mosquitos every single day. first day we arrived we killed 10 mosquitos in one room whats up with that. breakfast had good selections, they have 3 pools around the resorts as it is a big resort best one is the one over looking the beach, kid friendly pool. they have kids room, not that big just a small room.. anyway overall would i come back here in Amari Koh Samui, absolutely NOT. Would i recommend amari koh samui, absolutely NOT. if you want to stay in a beach front, there are alot of beach front resorts near amari and around the area check that out.. they did something nice from my baby;s birthday, decorated the mirror and gave cake so i appreciated that. with kids i would recommend hyatt koh samui, they are friendlier to kids and service is top notch. we moved there after amari THANK GOODNESS

Overall, 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!

Booked 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!
