Best Koh Samet Hotels

"I was surprised when came here it was little bit hidden but I found it. At the reception very friendly stuff welcomed me with a drink and after check in they brought me to my room. It was a studio but big enough. Tea coffe and 2 water were free. Room was clean and modern style. Can't go wrong with that rate. Had a quick chat with the manager who was very friendly and told me about the hotel a little bit. Will for sure return again !"

"I liked the hotel, the location is excellent, almost at the end of the beach, so there are no crowds of people or boats, the rooms (houses) are clean, recently renovated, the breakfast is good, the staff is friendly"

"Silversand Resort offers a wonderful beachfront experience with an unbeatable location right on Ao Phai Beach. While only a few rooms are directly sea-facing, we stayed in a garden view room that was still well-appointed and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. The buffet breakfast features a decent variety, including a live egg station, salad bar, breads, pancakes, rice, curry, vegetables, and fresh coffee. One small note is that the 10:00 AM cutoff for breakfast felt a bit early given the laid-back island atmosphere—perhaps a slightly extended timing would better suit guests on vacation mode. The resort maintains a no-smoking policy in its restaurant area (except some designated corner space), including the beachfront section. While this is appreciated from a health and family-friendly perspective, it may feel a bit restrictive for guests looking to fully unwind in an open-air setting. That said, the overall experience—from the location and food to the service and accommodation—was excellent. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and beachfront charm make it a worthwhile choice for couples or anyone seeking a relaxing island escape."

"The Hotel is very clean but the rooms are a little bit old kind of. The bathroom needs improvements or a renovation. The is big, coffee, kattle, hairdryer, towels and shampoo and shower gel is provided. Unfortunately the room is really dark, there is a window or glass door to get in, but if your room is at ground floor level, then there is not much sunlight. Location is super! Right in the middle of the city centre and very close to the Beach. The cleaning staff is really friendly, reception stuff is quite slow and not so welcoming. Overall it's a nice location to stay for a few days"

"A nice hotel located near the pier. Rooms are big and very comfortable for the price.  Unfortunately the service wasn’t great. The person at check-in showed us to the room and left the property. We couldn’t access the safe and wanted to rent a motorbike, but on calling them they didn’t want to come back to deal with it.  Overall though a good value place and would definitely stay again."

"Beautiful view, peaceful location, good service staff, polite and friendly. The swimming pool is secretly too salty. Beyond the general salt water pool I went down to play for just a moment and my skin hurt a lot. Breakfast options are a little less."

"Our Favorite Island Escape! This was our fifth stay at Vangduen Hotel, and we already can’t wait to come back! It’s the kind of place that never disappoints. In fact, the only sad part is packing up to leave. The location is perfect—tucked away on the quiet side of the island, offering so much peace and natural beauty. The clear, calm water and the soft white sand (honestly, it feels like flour!) make it the perfect spot to relax. Even though it’s peaceful, there’s still plenty to do. There’s a great selection of restaurants, a small shop for anything you might need, and a fun fire show in the evenings. The hotel itself is spotless, well-equipped, and super comfortable. The staff are amazing—so friendly and always happy to help with anything you need. It’s those little things that make each stay so special. We’d recommend this place 100%. In fact, we’ve already booked our next trip in two weeks! Vangduen Hotel really is a gem, and we feel lucky to have found it."

"The hotel is very suitable for vacation, very quiet and relaxing! There is the sea right outside, and there are not many people on the beach, basically all foreigners! The sea water is clear and there are many fish. The jelly sea is so beautiful. If the weather is good, you can see the sunrise when you wake up and open the door! It is far away from the pier and the main road 711. It takes 10 minutes to drive a motorcycle. Disadvantages: The facilities are relatively old, the air conditioning is not good, it can be said that it is basically the same as nothing! It is cooler outside than inside!"

"The hotel looks very beautiful, with small white houses in a well-kept garden. But the room is very simple, so simple that there is no design at all. The hotel service is basically non-existent, and the waiter can hardly speak English. The 3-star service is given to the guy who can't speak English but is very enthusiastic to help with the luggage. The hotel has almost no beach, but you can swim in the sea. The beach only appears for a few hours at low tide. There is some floating garbage in the sea, and no one fishes it out. Instead, some tourists spontaneously fish out the garbage there. Another bright spot is that this hotel actually has a large and clean swimming pool. The price is not expensive, and it is still okay if you don't have too many requirements for the room, beach and service."

"I have stayed at Flamingo Villa before (In the Garden Room), but this time I decided to stay in the loft room, which apparently is called the Family Room. Flamingo Villa is somewhat strange, since the ”Hotel” is basically three rooms within the Samed Your House hotel. Our neighbors actually knocked on our door to try and check in ~ You need to call the phone number for Flamingo Villa in order to check in, as someone will come out to meet you. So, bottom line up front: Flamingo Villa is awesome, but get ready to kill a lot of mosquitos! The owners do a good job of lighting incense sticks to try and keep the them away, but there are fountains around the area and the mosquitos are no joke. I would say I killed at least 10 in our room, so it is super important to make sure you close the sliding doors behind you every time you go in and out of the room. The Family Room was awesome. The lower floor is basically a living room with a large day bed and a big TV with great speakers. The toilet room is separate from the shower. The stairs to the loft are pretty steep, but once you get up there it is really nice. There are two queen beds in the loft, and the glass wall and sliding door separate the bedroom from the main room, which is great because the bedroom has its own AC unit, and the glass keeps out the mosquitoes. The beds were comfortable, but be careful because the ceiling is very low above the beds. The view from up in the loft is very peaceful, and the owners obviously spent a lot of time decorating the place (The Christmas tree was still up while we were there). The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Sai Kaew Beach, and the pier for the ferry is only a 10 minute walk ~ but you can take a mini bus if you would like. The hotel is close to restaurants and stores, and there are two 7-11s close to the beach. We rented a motor bike the last time we were in Koh Samed, but Sai Kaew Beach seems to be the nicest on the island, so we just hung out there. I love Flamingo Villa, and I am sure I will stay there again in the future."
