Stellars Samed Resort

Loved the location! The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and breakfast was good.

The breakfast was decent, with both Chinese and Western options. The nearby Big Buddha statue is quite nice, but be careful not to get pulled aside for unsolicited incense burning. There's a beach about 50 meters away where you can watch the sunrise, though it's technically part of another property. Remember to bring your own insect repellent.

The room was a bit old, but it was clean. The hotel staff provided good service, and the nighttime atmosphere was beautifully decorated.

The location is pretty good, just a 5-minute walk to Saikaew Beach. The hotel bar and pool are beautiful. This time, I stayed on the third floor, but there was no elevator, or at least I wasn't aware of one because the staff told me to just take the stairs from this side. If you're traveling with elderly people who have knee problems, climbing the stairs might be difficult. Inside the room, the air conditioning wasn't very cool; it only blew air. The hairdryer was broken, but when I informed the staff, they immediately brought a brand-new one, which I really appreciated! The towels had a slight odor, and the bathroom also had a stale smell. I wish they had some kind of air freshener or essential oil to make the room smell nicer and feel fresher. The bathroom only provides shampoo and shower gel; there's no toothbrush or toothpaste. Perhaps you have to ask the staff for them, but usually, at other hotels I've stayed at, these items are provided without asking. Breakfast is served until 10 AM. Personally, the food wasn't anything to rave about, but the staff were lovely and welcoming.
