Villas in Surat Thani Province, Thailand

Away from the hustle of central Chaweng, so is a good spot to be based for quiet times and used as a base to explore the island. Beachfront pool villas are nice, large and great views of the ocean. Private pool is a bonus and well worth the upgrade. Hotel was busy when I stayed and everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. The pool isn’t the largest but plentiful for the amount of rooms. Don’t forget, there are the villas with private pools, so a fair number of guests will be in their own area. Access to the beach is not directly in front of the hotel, but that’s a good thing otherwise I would be hearing everyone in front of my villa each day. Access is the side of the resort just past the restaurant. Along this stretch of beach has a few other hotel bars and restaurants to eat and drink in and if you head to the furtherest headland point, and head inland, you will come across a handful of bars and restaurants. As many people have said, the hotel is next to a road - but like most hotels in Samui, it’s just the design of the island. You can avoid the main road for your walk to the local area by going along the stretch of beach. And when you are on the island, why wouldn’t you want to walk along the beach?! So don’t listen to those comments about nothing nearby. If you want the hustle of the nightlife, Chaweng central is 15 minutes away. Get on the shuttle or order a taxi for 300thb. It’s a 4 star hotel, trying to get back to some kind of normal after covid and over time, I am sure the owners will reinvest their money to make improvements where some other guests have commented about in other posts but I do think it is dependent on the room type you book and/or are assigned as most of them are fine. Give it a go, it is worth it. I’ve been to many hotels over the years - more than the average Joe - and it’s only recently where I’ve checked in and out of two hotels on the same day in all these years.

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Skye Beach for 5 nights and everything was amazing. Very clean, spacious, amazing villa with a gorgeous view. The staff were perfect and made the experience I think! So attentive and kind and always had a big smile on their faces. Breakfast was also lovely- set up every morning my staff in your own villa and was really enjoyable. This is one of the best resorts I have ever stayed and would definitely recommend. The only thing I would say is that if you are in the villas that aren’t on the beach front, the pools lack a bit of privacy as the people from below can see right in. The location is also not really close by to anything but this was our own mistake for not doing enough research on the area but I still wouldn’t change staying at this amazing hotel!

The effect of Covid-19 on tourism in Thailand is still being tragically felt. On Koh Samui there are abandoned resorts and some which have already been bulldozed. Meanwhile, those remaining eke out an existence with vastly reduced patronage. It is with this in mind that I review Pawanthorn Villas, where we recently stayed. Ours was the largest 4 bedroom villa and, although a little tired, it served our purpose admirably. The 4 x bedrooms all had separate external entry which enabled plenty of privacy amongst our group of 8 adults. Each bedroom was well appointed and with a generous en-suite. The beds were large and comfortable and the towels were changed daily. Some of the electrical work would not pass inspection in Australia, but it was out of the way and posed no threat. The large dining/lounge became our main communal area and the 2 x air conditioners kept the Thai heat and humidity under control. The fabulous pool became our other communal area and was appreciated by all. We booked through Air B&B, so daily breakfast was provided at the adjoining restaurant Chez Kun Ying and the menu was extensive. They even opened early on a couple of occasions because we had an early tour booked. We also had dinner there and were pleasantly surprised. Chaweng Beach, with its abundance of restaurants, bars and night-life, is 2.7 kilometres away, too far to walk with no footpath but easily accessible via taxi or hailing a tuk tuk which are constantly cruising past. We hired a minivan and appreciated the convenience that it provided but, when needed, tuk tuk's were excellent for our party of 8 and the 200 Baht fare (just under Aussie$9) was reasonable. There are a number of different sized pool villa's ranging from our 8 person to 2 person. We found the staff to be delightfully helpful, friendly and eager to please. Pawanthorn is not perfect but the shortcomings are few and easily overcome. As patronage increases, we hope that a freshen-up would correct any issues and we would have no hesitation in staying there again.

Very good, everything. Good atmosphere, clean hotel, beautiful view, good value for money, but the way up to the accommodation is quite steep. After entering the accommodation, it is difficult to come to the various beaches below. And slightly less service issues Meaning that when he was unwell, In the early hours of the day, I wanted to request a drug from reception. But cannot contact at all The taxi can't be contacted. Have to let the friend below Find a taxi to pick up to buy your own medicine. It's hard to go back. But overall, the accommodation is really good.

This is a villa type hotel run by the French privately. It is located on the top of a hill and faces the sea. The building is very artistic, the environment is beautiful and quiet, and the grass and trees in the courtyard are carefully designed. The western breakfast was delicious.

I booked the pool villa for the first night and the normal villa for the second night. I checked into the pool villa at 7 o'clock that night. When I had breakfast at 9 o'clock the next morning, the staff asked me to move to the normal villa, saying that the pool villa would be available soon. Someone has checked in. Didn't I say check out at 12 o'clock? The waiter has always had a dark face, and he checked in because of the good reviews. As a result, he forced people to change rooms, which made people very upset.

Intimate villa style hotel There are not so many people competing with you for the invincible infinity sea view swimming pool The attentive butler-style service includes the restaurant, which is also a butler-style ordering restaurant. It feels more like home than at home. I am stupid and greedy. Open the curtains and see the sea. If you get sea-sick, I don’t recommend you book it. The hotel owner is Korean. There is a black kitten at the door of the reception room. It is so clingy. You should have a chance to experience it for yourself.

I have been returning to China for a long time before I commented. I had a very comfortable holiday at the hotel with the elderly and one-year-old children in the Spring Festival. I originally booked a short-term rental villa on the island. After a water outage and power outage, I decided to retreat and live here again. The three-bedroom villa we stayed in was actually four bedrooms. The interior decoration time was a bit long, the maintenance was good, the mattress and pillows were comfortable, and during the stay, except during the break, the room time was very small, basically on the beach and In the yard; the location of the hotel is not said, the next few steps to the beach, the quality of the beach is general, there are some small stones, a few minutes to the left will be better; near the hotel seven or eight minutes drive a large local supermarket, vegetable meat The seafood is very comprehensive. We basically do our own cooking and take-out. The emphasis is on the service that is beyond expectation. The management of the housekeeper sao is completely barrier-free. The problem is solved at any time. We have not enough hangers. We bought a new one on the same day. I need a children's dining chair. I bought a new one for us the next day. Every day, I ask if there is a need. The little girl who cleans up and the uncle of the security guard are also doing their best to solve the problem at any time. Although the hotel provided ample mosquito-repellent incense, we were bitten very badly, reminding everyone to bring enough toilet water. After being bitten, you can go to 7-11 to buy a local ointment, which works well.

Clean and hygienic, high-end atmosphere, service in place, very large, spacious and bright, suitable for partying, the bed is large and 5 people can sleep no problem, all kinds of small details are very careful.

Great villa, so peaceful and quiet but just a short ride away from the action. They give you a private phone to call and they can take you round the island (as part of the package) and answer your questions and help with anything you need. Food delivery options were amazing so even though you’re not super close to restaurants they can bring it to you. Clean with everything you need, coffee machine, microwave all kitchen utensils. They even left some beers in the fridge for us to drink :) thank you!
