NataliaKozina1. The room is large. It has all the necessary furniture for working on vacation (crucial for me), and places to put books and tablets.
2. It's clean and cozy. There are many windows, but even though the bungalow is small, it's still a bit dark. The windows are opaque from the outside, so no one can see you when the curtains are open.
3. The air conditioner is quite quiet. The outdoor unit is located right behind the closet, so you don't hear any humming when it's running.
4. The bathroom is huge and bright. All amenities are provided, even a rubber mat to prevent accidental slips. The drain works well, there are two showers, and a separate faucet just for washing your feet – everything is very well thought out.
5. There's a safe, bathrobes, flip-flops (!), and, of course, towels. The bed is large. We arrived with my daughter, but there were no bungalows with two beds. They apologized and gave us two blankets. This is luxury-class care, thank you!
6. Sea view. The sea is just two steps down a path. New, good sun loungers, umbrellas, and a wonderfully equipped beach.
7. Light and pleasant music plays all day. This might be a problem for some, so be aware, but we didn't mind it. There was no music on Sunday. At the beach bar, the music stops strictly at 11 PM, but you can hear the neighboring bay's music – I'd go crazy if I lived there. In bungalows further from the restaurant, you can't hear any music at all. The property has bungalows with sea views, cottages, rooms, and beachfront suites – accommodation for every taste and budget. The grounds are very picturesque and well-maintained. You can take a taxi to the pier for 250 baht.
8. The breakfasts are amazing. We haven't encountered hotels with such breakfasts in a long time. Every day there were 2-3 types of meat, fish, potatoes, pasta, soups, rice, a ton of sweets, even sweet rice. And cheese (!). There was Camembert, Brie, and some hard cheeses. Ham/sausages/omelets/eggs, of course. A coffee machine, tea, juices, fruits. In short, during our 5-day stay, we only went to a restaurant for dinner once :) We were full all day!
9. Check the tide map. If low tide starts in the morning, it can be a significant issue. The bay is small, and at low tide, the water recedes so much that swimming is a problem. When there's plenty of water, everything is great, and there's even a small reef where you can wander and look at fish.
10. Summary: The hotel is excellent, with guest care at every turn. We will definitely return. Prosperity to the resort and a huge thank you to the staff for their care!

Guest UserThe hotel is very new. Nice, clean and fully equipped with facilities similar to the standard of new hotels in China. The location of the hotel is on Saengchan close to Rayong city and near Laem Charoen Beach. Saeng Chan beach looks better in pictures. It's a hip beach for the younger generation to hang out. The location is good for young locals or foreigners who may travel to Rayong by public transportation. I personally prefer further away from city, a more quiet long beach such as Mae Pim beach or Mae Rum Pueng beach.

QianqianHow do I even begin! I went to Koh Samet with no expectations, but Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa is supposedly the second-best resort on the island. My overall impression wasn't great, mainly due to how the resort handled the broken air conditioning in our bungalow on the first day.
We took a private car from downtown Bangkok to Ao Prao Pier (the hotel's private pier, which has its own lounge). Following the resort's email instructions, we boarded the 1:30 PM boat to the resort, which took about 15 minutes. The welcome drink upon arrival was quite good.
The resort isn't very large, and there weren't many guests. When we discovered the AC was broken, we immediately contacted housekeeping. From housekeeping to engineering to the front desk, and then to Ctrip, we spent an hour in the sweltering room and outside before finally being moved to another room. It seemed like Ctrip had to intervene to resolve the issue before the front desk staff led us to our new room... The whole process was incredibly frustrating due to the heat! Later, the front desk found me on the beach and offered us an upgraded room. I went to see it but declined, as it was quite dark inside, and I prefer bright, airy rooms when I'm on vacation. She told me the room would be held for us if we changed our minds. Because I didn't move, the front desk came to find me again on the beach and offered a complimentary pizza as compensation. This proactive attitude was a definite plus.
We stayed at Le Vimarn for three nights. The rooms are simple, Thai-style wooden bungalows. The 1.8-meter bed was just right for a family of three. The mini-bar is chargeable. If you're visiting Koh Samet, remember to bring a filtered shower head. Breakfast was pretty much the same every day, but it tasted good. We had dinner at Buzz once, and the food was good, but with a 10% service charge and 7% tax, it ended up being a bit expensive! The resort is a 15-minute drive from the main street (where the 7-Eleven is, 200 baht one-way). The front desk can arrange a taxi. Later, we rented a scooter, which we could park on a slope about a 2-minute walk from the front desk. I scraped my foot on a coral reef while swimming, and the front desk provided basic first aid. For the last two days, we stayed at Paradee Resort, which is a sister hotel to Le Vimarn, so they offered a free transfer. However, if you're traveling with kids, I'd highly recommend Paradee Resort – the environment, facilities, and staff are all much better.

Gelle KangvanThe bed was incredibly comfortable, like it ****** my soul in! The pillows were just right too, soft enough that I didn't wake up with a stiff neck.

Guest UserCompared to the second night at The Tamarind, where the prices were similar, the facilities were vastly different. The Tamarind offered a standalone villa, whereas Sakae had small, connected units. The curtains didn't block out light, and there was no conditioner or disposable toiletries (you had to ask for them). These weren't a big deal, but the worst part of the experience was when we checked in, the front desk mentioned there would be a fire show at 8:30 PM. We rushed over after dinner on the main street, carrying a pizza we hadn't had a chance to eat yet, to catch the show. Upon arrival, we found it was inside a restaurant. A male staff member very aggressively told us we'd have to pay 500 Thai Baht. Honestly, after so many trips to Thailand, even the scammers are usually smiling. This was the only time I encountered such rudeness, and it was at Sakae. I understand that as a restaurant, they can have a policy against bringing in outside food. However, the front desk only told us to go to the left for the show and never mentioned it was a restaurant (we arrived quite late, took a paid boat to the island at 6 PM, settled into the hotel, and then went to the main street for dinner). Secondly, they could have simply reminded us, but there was no need to give us a dirty look. If they had a good attitude, I would have paid the 500, provided they offered good service and made us feel welcome. This experience left a very bad impression. However, its advantage is that it's close to the main street and has a beach, so I'm sharing this information for anyone who might find it useful.

Guest UserThe facilities are great. I stayed here once for New Year's Day and came back for a few more days. The hotel has its own beach, and in the evenings, they offer open-air movies and fire dance performances. They thoughtfully provide both deep and shallow swimming areas, so kids can play safely. The pier is also a unique feature. It's a bit disappointing though that when I came for New Year's, the room included a welcome scarf, and the mini-bar had free snacks and drinks. This time, the room price was significantly higher, and those little extras were gone. However, the overall experience is still excellent, making it perfect for a vacation. P.S. First thing to do when you get to the island: rent a scooter!

Guest UserThere are many sockets and they do not turn off when you leave the room. The balcony is fenced with a net. The workplace is dark and the noise of the car wash is not conducive to creativity. the food is spicy. I had to come up with something myself. There is a night market nearby and there is also a massage there. no kettle anywhere. You can’t get boiling water yourself, you have to ask in a cafe. We need to make a normal menu for everyone. I didn’t take breakfast, I didn’t like the choice. the price is high, the menu is mediocre.
I always take rooms by the sea, so I decided that this would be a work environment. but the air is bad. This place doesn't give you energy. There is a micro recreation area. made of stones on which it is cold to sit
no green area, birdsong is a luxury for this place.

Anonymous UserThis is my second time staying here. It's a classic, older hotel with plenty of amenities. The room has plates, bowls, spoons, and a microwave, which is very convenient. The location is excellent, right in the middle of shopping areas, markets, and food centers. The staff are friendly. The bathtub in the room has peeling surfaces; it would be much better if it were replaced. Overall, I like it.

WuzimingThe hotel facilities are very complete, with a gym, a sauna, and a swimming pool – small but perfectly formed! The breakfast was also quite generous. For being abroad, this standard is pretty good.

JoebeverageI had a wonderful stay at this beachside hotel. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from a private beach where you can relax without the crowds. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying sunsets right from the balcony was a highlight. Another bonus is the nearby national park, easily accessible on foot, perfect for morning hikes and nature walks. The staff were friendly, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The only downside was the entrance area, which could use better street lighting as it felt a bit dark and unsettling at night. Overall, a fantastic getaway spot!
