Resorts in Koh Samui

"A warm welcome from the reception staff and they were nice enough to bring us and our bags up to our room, good thing too as the hills within the hotel rooms are very steep. Extremely nice room, beautiful infinity pool overlooking Koh Samui. The breakfast is excellent with many choices you order off the menu rather than the traditional buffet style. The gym was also well equipt for a light workout. The only thing I will say is that this hotel is slightly difficult to access if you are on foot. Its not like you can take a 5 minute stroll to the main high street, its a long windy road with lots of hills and sharp turns, a car or scooter will be needed to get from the hotel to the town but aside from that its an excellent hotel and I would happily visit again."

"Great place to stay if you want peace and away from the busy streets and nightlife! We extended our stay because we felt so relaxed here! Consider renting a bike or car to get around the island as it’s not close to anything by foot. Thank you for your excellent hospitality and service."

"This hotel is located on Chaweng Beach, very close to the airport. I was quite apprehensive before arriving, not knowing what to expect. But once I got there, I realized I made the right choice. The hotel is beautiful. We booked a room in the same building as the front desk, and they upgraded us to a king-size bed plus a small bed. The restaurant and villa rooms are across the street, offering breakfast with a stunning sea view every day. After breakfast, you can just grab a lounge chair and enjoy the incredible scenery, sitting there facing the ocean all day long. Most of the guests are from Europe and America. The front desk staff and restaurant servers are all very enthusiastic and helpful, answering every question. Room cleaning is also quick and thorough. The hotel offers massages at reasonable prices, and the pasta, burgers, pizzas, and drinks at the restaurant are all delicious and moderately priced. The only thing to note is that the road leading from the main street to the hotel is a bit steep with uphill and downhill sections, which can be a bit tiring if you're pulling luggage."

"Conveniently located right next to the Lomprayah Ferry Pier. I checked out before breakfast, which starts at 7 AM. Even if you quickly grab breakfast after checking in for your ferry, you'll still make the 8 AM departure. This time, I went just before 7 AM and noticed a few people were already eating. It would be even better if the restaurant opened at 6:30 AM. Upon checking in around 10 PM, there were two parties ahead of me. While I was enjoying my welcome drink, another guest cut in line and was attended to first. I finally managed to check in after waiting for about 30 minutes. With only one person at the front desk, wait times become excessively long, leading to a poor impression for all guests. I hope this can be improved for a better experience."

"Great location and easily walkable to lamai market or to nearby cafes and shops. The live band from lamai market can be heard from the rooms so if you are a light sleeper this may be a problem. The floor manager goes around to check on guests during morning breakfast and we appreciated this gesture. The AC in our room was leaking and she immediately sent someone to check on it. It never got fixed as it kept leaking every night again but it was ok and we werent very bothered by it. The mattresses need a change asap as the depressions were too obvious. I would request also for better lighting or at least the option to brighten the lights should we wish in the room. The hallway resort lights were also too dim making it a little dangerous at night as there were many steep steps and curbs. For the accessibility and staff i would stay here again"

"The location is fantastic, right on a beautiful beach, with everything you need for a vacation and daily life nearby (massages, cafes, shops, laundromats). The breakfasts are good and tasty (buffet style), and rooms are cleaned daily."

"The bungalows are beautiful and the pool is also very nice. But the location is not great. The hotel is situated in front of the road on one side and on the other in front of the beach where there is construction so the sea is very dirty. If you don’t rent a scooter during your stay it’s very difficult to move around."

"We spent 2 weeks with my daughter in this hotel. Good staff, always ready to help with a smile and really with desire. The location of the hotel is good, the first coastline. Large sandy beach, sometimes there were not enough sun loungers. Breakfasts are very modest. Prices in the hotel restaurant are high, mostly ate in other places"

"My daughter wanted to stay in a villa, so we chose this hotel, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The hotel was renovated in 2011, so it's a bit old, but it's very well-maintained overall. The lobby is grand and new, and the entire hotel feels like a miniature tropical jungle. Half of it is dedicated to various villas spread out, while the other half has pools connecting the rooms. Even though there are many trees, we didn't encounter any mosquitoes or insects, so the hotel must have treated the area. The hotel has its own beach with white sand and turquoise water. I woke up every day hoping to catch the sunrise, but unfortunately, it rained during my entire stay, so I only saw the morning glow. The hotel service is excellent; they promptly resolve any issues. We stayed in a Grand Bunch Garden Bungalow and added an extra bed. The room's amenities and details were well-maintained, and the shower was very comfortable. The only minor quirk was the traditional key and wooden bolt lock on the door. We didn't know how to lock it at first, so we called the front desk, and they patiently showed us how, haha. The hotel's location is its biggest highlight – right in the heart of Chaweng Beach's liveliest street in Koh Samui! ARK BAR is right next door. Their restaurant serves delicious food, and the beach bar at night is incredibly vibrant! There are fireworks and a fire show every night from 8 PM to 2 AM, allowing us to experience Koh Samui's nightlife up close. Plus, the hotel offers a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. While it's located on a street filled with bars, restaurants, and massage parlors, the bar noise can be loud at night, so it's a good idea to request a room away from the bar street when booking. There are many massage places and restaurants along the street outside the hotel, all similarly priced and of good quality with clear pricing, so you can choose based on your preference! My family was very satisfied this time, and I'm even writing a review for the first time, haha! 😃"

"This is honestly the best review I have ever written, because this place was truly the top stay of our entire 46-day trip. The blankets and towels were always spotless, the room was very clean, fresh-smelling, and well taken care of. Every day the staff changed our towels, made the bed, and did some light cleaning: the service was outstanding. The receptionist was amazing, always friendly and ready to help. We left a 400-watt deposit, and when it was time to check out, everything was returned smoothly, with no problems at all. The location is excellent: very close to the beach, near food stalls and evening hangout spots, yet slightly separated from all the noise. This makes it ideal for resting, very calm and quiet. We also had coffee and some cookies included every morning, a small touch that made our mornings really pleasant. Everything about our stay was perfect — absolutely recommended!"
