Boutique Hotels in Koh Samet

"This is a newly opened, simple yet stylish hotel. The room was a decent size and very comfortable. It's a bit far from the center, so it's especially recommended for those who want to stay mostly at the hotel, read books, or relax quietly on the beach. The hotel's restaurant seemed to offer good value for money on food items. However, alcoholic beverages were a bit pricey, so I was glad I bought drinks near the port before heading back. If you plan on going out a lot for massages, restaurants, or activities, renting a scooter would make getting around much easier. Grab isn't available on the island, and transportation mainly relies on songthaews. Each ride costs 200 baht, and it takes a while for them to arrive after calling, so this hotel is better suited for those who prefer a relaxed stay."

"How do I even begin? The room itself was beautiful, but for HKD 2000 a night, the complete lack of service was just awful. Only one front desk staff member spoke a little English; the other understood nothing at all. I forgot my travel adapter, which was a huge problem because my child needed it for their milk and I couldn't charge my phone. The location is incredibly remote with absolutely nothing around, and the beach water wasn't very clear either. When I asked the front desk to borrow an adapter, they told me to take a taxi to the city center 7-Eleven to buy one! That's just terrible. For a HKD 2000 per night room, the service was worse than a 4-star hotel back in Bangkok, where they actually provide adapters for guests. Also, there's only one restaurant at the hotel, and the food isn't great, but you have no other options. I just think if you're trying to rebrand as a high-end establishment, you need to offer much better service. You shouldn't be delivering service levels akin to a standard hotel in Songkhla."
