Kirati Beach Resort

Location super Nice — imo one of best beaches in koh samui. Hotel very average - stafff Way below average after this episode: The second night we stayed at Kirati we had a very dangerous experience. When the kids where put to bed we heard some noise from the electricity in the cabinet with a certain frequency. After the kids slept we looked into the cabinet where the HFI electricity box was and the noise was sparks comming out of the box! This could easily have turned into a fire. We ran down to the restaurant and they came to shut down the room and move us to another. Unfortunately the moving of kids/moving of all our unpacked stuff resulted in a very bad sleep for us and a lost packing day the day after. This is for sure the hotels responsibility to ensure that electricity is not dangerous - resulting in a potential dangerous stay for us. I have never experienced anything on my travels before... I have requested the hotel compensation for this - however they Think it is enough compensation for this lifethreatening experience that we moved room. Hence 3/5 star for hotel, 0/5 star for manager

The hotel is right on the beach and the sea comes right up against the restaurant however that will vary through the year. During our stay we had to walk one minute either side of the hotel through the ankle deep sea to get to the beautiful beaches. The sea went out around 4pm until 11pm for a nice wide beach which the hotel puts tables on for evening diners. The beach to the right has sun beds you can pay to use (300 baht)/day. There’s a restaurant also for food and drinks. The beach to the left is extensive with loads of options for food, drink and water activities including jet ski, banana boat or kayak hire. The hotel itself is nice and the staff are very helpful with any request, however it requires a general tidy up and update. Our family room was comfortable but could of done with new mattresses. The shower wasn’t the warmest at any time of the day it was used. The pool is 32ft (info from hotel staff) and unusable due to it not being maintained. With the sea being so calm on the north coast of Koh Samui it’s not so much of an issue, however if they advertise to having it as a facility it should be maintained for guests to use. There is an option to pay to use the pool in the hotel next door. Unsure of the cost. The restaurant overlooks the beach and sea on slightly uneven decking area which is absolutely fine for most but perhaps a little tricky for some. The food isn’t the cheapest however its portions are generous and good quality tasting food. There’s nightly entertainment which is popular with tourists in the area which means its often busy. Just note that the staff aren’t great at multi tasking so things can take time to arrive. There’s about a 400 meter walk back to the through road which has multiple restaurants, massage parlours, a pharmacy etc. cant remember the name but the restaurant we had diner at was around 800 baht for a family of three. This hotel is worth using as a base for a relaxing stay, great beach, calm sea and to tour the north of Koh Samui or the nearby islands (Koh Phangan etc).

Only visited restaurant, after have not been back for a while. Thai food and seafood are the best; fresh, authentic and tasty. If you stay around Choengmon area and looking for a local and friendly price restaurant. Kirati is the one 🙂 They also have a very good coffee, which batista will create special coffee menu for you, if you prefer something different from the menu

We ate at the restaurant twice in the evenings , as it was a short stroll from the Melia where we were staying. The food is excellent quality. The service isn’t quick, be prepared to wait. However, if you want really good quality , inexpensive food on the beach , with fire show and some great live singers, I would highly recommend the Kirati restaurant.

Ignore the bad reviews!!..the hotel is on the beach and has lovely wood style cabins with air-conditioning and hot water ..clean and comfortable..the restaurant was ok..music in the evening...staff were polite ...location is perfect..not expensive for its amazing location..

Location is great. Few beach restaurants, sea is calm and good for young children. A lot of potential but unfortunately it was letting us down by the hotel facilities. Swimming pool wasn't clean. Load of leaves floating and under water. None of the guest was in the pool as it was dirty. One night the water pump had broken and no fresh water to shower until late night. Understand it could be happened but wouldn't expect only single pump to rely on with the hotel in this size.
