Best hotels in Koh Samet
Explore Koh Samet with 101 stays near iconic landmarks, luxury hotels, and top boutiques for the best shopping and dining
Sai Kaew Beach Resort ★★★★
"The room and service were decent. Perhaps with the rising prices in Thailand, it doesn't stand out as much anymore. To get to and from the hotel from the pier on the island, you'll need to take a songthaew. It's definitely more convenient to rent a motorbike if you're staying on the island, you can even ride to some small beaches in the south to relax. The hotel's restaurant has a nice ambiance and is good for a fancy meal. I'd recommend a street food stall I found – for about 200 baht per person, including four or five beers, the food was delicious. They even sent a small cake on my birthday night."
Silversand Resort ★★★
Overlooking a picturesque bay, this lively beachfront getaway is known for its stunning sunset views, water sports, and a laid-back bar scene on Koh Samet.
Avatara Resort ★★★
Perched on a hillside with panoramic ocean views, this boutique resort boasts spacious rooms, an infinity pool, and a peaceful escape tucked away from the crowds.
Kira Baya Koh Samed ★★★★★
Kira Baya (คีรา บายา) is a boutique resort inspired by Gauguin’s Tahiti, offering guests a liberating and immersive experience in nature, free from constraints or boundaries. Nestled on Koh Samed, the resort is designed to offer guests an immersive retreat where nature and comfort seamlessly blend. Kira Baya embraces a raw yet refined approach to island living—where woven textures, organic materials, and the rhythm of the ocean shape every moment.
Paradee ★★★★★
Treat yourself to a visit to the spa, where you can enjoy massages, body treatments, and facials. Soak up the sun on the private beach, or take advantage of recreational amenities like an outdoor pool and a steam room. You’ll also find extra perks at this resort, including complimentary Wi-Fi, gift shops/newsstands, and wedding services.
Tonsak Resort ★★★
"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The room, location, and staff were all good, and the service was friendly. However, for a family of three, we found Tonsak to be more expensive than some of the other lovely resorts nearby. The breakfast buffet was decent, but it wasn’t particularly memorable. The menu was the same every day, so if you’re staying for more than three days, you’ll likely run out of variety and options to enjoy."
Sawasdee Coco Resort ★★
"Rooms really clean, mood and vibes are really nice. And the breakfast are really lovely."
Samed Cabana Resort ★★★
Facing the turquoise waters of Ao Phai, this rustic-chic resort offers thatched-roof cabanas, beachfront dining, and easy access to nightlife.
Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa ★★★★
"How do I even begin! I went to Koh Samet with no expectations, but Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa is supposedly the second-best resort on the island. My overall impression wasn't great, mainly due to how the resort handled the broken air conditioning in our bungalow on the first day. We took a private car from downtown Bangkok to Ao Prao Pier (the hotel's private pier, which has its own lounge). Following the resort's email instructions, we boarded the 1:30 PM boat to the resort, which took about 15 minutes. The welcome drink upon arrival was quite good. The resort isn't very large, and there weren't many guests. When we discovered the AC was broken, we immediately contacted housekeeping. From housekeeping to engineering to the front desk, and then to Ctrip, we spent an hour in the sweltering room and outside before finally being moved to another room. It seemed like Ctrip had to intervene to resolve the issue before the front desk staff led us to our new room... The whole process was incredibly frustrating due to the heat! Later, the front desk found me on the beach and offered us an upgraded room. I went to see it but declined, as it was quite dark inside, and I prefer bright, airy rooms when I'm on vacation. She told me the room would be held for us if we changed our minds. Because I didn't move, the front desk came to find me again on the beach and offered a complimentary pizza as compensation. This proactive attitude was a definite plus. We stayed at Le Vimarn for three nights. The rooms are simple, Thai-style wooden bungalows. The 1.8-meter bed was just right for a family of three. The mini-bar is chargeable. If you're visiting Koh Samet, remember to bring a filtered shower head. Breakfast was pretty much the same every day, but it tasted good. We had dinner at Buzz once, and the food was good, but with a 10% service charge and 7% tax, it ended up being a bit expensive! The resort is a 15-minute drive from the main street (where the 7-Eleven is, 200 baht one-way). The front desk can arrange a taxi. Later, we rented a scooter, which we could park on a slope about a 2-minute walk from the front desk. I scraped my foot on a coral reef while swimming, and the front desk provided basic first aid. For the last two days, we stayed at Paradee Resort, which is a sister hotel to Le Vimarn, so they offered a free transfer. However, if you're traveling with kids, I'd highly recommend Paradee Resort – the environment, facilities, and staff are all much better."

Ao Prao Resort
"The room and staff service were excellent, living up to many reviews I'd read. However, I have one suggestion: the bathroom was too damp, the shower pressure was weak, and the sink felt too low, requiring a significant bend to use. The breakfast was good, delicious, and offered a wide variety."
Samed Hideaway Resort
"This is a pleasant hotel to stay at. The cleanliness was acceptable, but the staff were a bit slow in cleaning the room. I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. The staff were always smiling and took good care of me. I would definitely come back to use their service again if I have the chance."
Malibu Samed Resort
"I was really disappointed with this hotel. The entrance was hard to find, and you have to walk through a narrow path with noisy generators and air conditioning units. The beach area was messy and not well cared for, which made it hard to relax. The room wasn’t great either; there was paint chipping on the walls, and it felt damp and uncomfortable. Breakfast was very basic and not good at all. The hotel felt old and poorly maintained. I wouldn’t stay here again."
Samed Grandview Resort
"The hotel is close to the pier and has a private beach. The room was just okay. The extra bed wasn't suitable for kids; it was narrow and only had a mattress."
Stellars Samed Resort
"My most favourite place to stay at Koh Samed. I will stay here in future again. I love the swimming pools, breakfast was delicious, I enjoyed every moment. I stayed for 9 nights. All staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. Resort is walking distance from the beach, restaurants and shops."
Vimarn Samed Resort
"Based on the many positive reviews, we chose this hotel. The bungalows were fully booked, so we ended up in rooms in the two-story building. I was traveling solo with my two young children (aged 5 and 3), and we were assigned a room on the second (top) floor. That evening, just before bedtime, we started hearing things running on the roof. When I asked who or what it was, everyone just smiled. The administrator then told me, 'If you're not happy, you can check out tomorrow, and we'll refund your money.' At breakfast, we were served moldy toast bread. Frankly, we moved to another hotel, and I absolutely do not recommend this one. Judging by the sounds and noises, it was clearly rats running on the roof, and I was terrified they might get into our room. The rooms themselves are tired and desperately need renovation."
Baan Ploy Sea
"Perfect for chilling out with friends!"
Samed Pavilion Resort
"The location is decent, very close to the beach. However, there were quite a few flies at breakfast."
Urban Room Samed
"The room was okay, fairly clean, but you have to stand in the bathtub to shower, and the drainage was poor, often leaving the bathroom and toilet wet after showering. The water pressure was also low; it's basically like a small electric water heater in China, though you can adjust the water temperature yourself. The air conditioning was very cool, and the location was good, right at the tuk-tuk terminus. If you dislike strong cooking fumes, don't consider this place. You can see cobwebs just by looking up, and there were lots of cute little creatures on the balcony at night. The receptionist was very polite, but he didn't speak any Chinese, so be careful!"
Samed Tropical Resort
Tucked away on a quiet southern bay, this tropical hideaway features bungalows with garden or sea views, making it an ideal sanctuary for travelers seeking privacy and a connection with nature.
Diamond Beach Resort Rayong City
"The price was too high considering the room's amenities. The breakfast spread wasn't very diverse, which was quite disappointing given the price paid. The bed was comfortable, but the cleanliness wasn't great; there were crumbs on the mattress and blanket. The view was beautiful and close to the beach, but that came with a lot of noise from the nearby bar."
La Lune Beach Resort
"Very nice place. Not too much sunbeds, but tey have service in near bar. Breakfast not so large choose, but very delicious. Pier near not so good because of gasoline."
