Find Resorts in Koh Samui

"The room I got had a beautiful view overlooking Lamai Beach, it was perfect! Highly recommend it, the price is good and it's great value for money. Plus, all the snacks and drinks are free."

"Gorgeous views and a very green, well-maintained territory. Cleaning is excellent. Linens and towels are changed daily. The room is very clean. Breakfasts are fantastic. They prepare different types of eggs, pancakes, and offer cheese, cured sausage, vegetables, greens, ready-made dishes, and lots of fruit. The coffee is bad, but that's the only downside of the breakfasts. It's great to sunbathe by the pool; there are comfortable sun loungers, and you can order drinks and food. The music is pleasant and not too loud. The pool water temperature and showers are nice. Massages are slightly more expensive than elsewhere, literally by only 200 baht. CONS. 1. You can't take more than 1 towel at the pool. This is absolute nonsense. One towel isn't enough to cover the whole sun lounger, and it's impossible to touch the scorching hot faux leather. Just buy more towels; you're washing them anyway. What's the problem with one more or two? I really don't see the issue! 2. Internet. It didn't work at all in our room. There are apps and YouTube on the TV, but you can't watch movies because there's no internet, even though they give you the Wi-Fi password. It only works in the restaurant and by the pool. 3. The staff is excellent, EXCEPT for the older man with glasses by the pool (photo attached). He constantly has a sour face as if everyone owes him something. Disgusting. Unfriendly. Customer service is ZERO. He needs to be retired with that attitude! 4. The sea. It's non-existent. It's a quarry. Take a 3-minute ride to Chaweng, that's where the beach is. White, fine sand, turquoise water. Here, it's yellow, coarse sand, all rocks; you can't swim without a mask. Even getting in is difficult. So, if you love swimming in beautiful water, this isn't the place. And if you use a mask, which they provide for free here, it's not Zanzibar or the Maldives; it's not that beautiful, and there's not much to see. 5. Flies in the restaurant! This is absolutely horrific. There are 5-8 of them flying over your plates. And don't tell me it can't be dealt with. I refuse to believe that a guest in a 5-star hotel should sit swatting flies. Put some small repellents on the tables. They cost pennies, but they solve the problem. 6. The air conditioning in the room roars like a plane taking off. It's impossible to adjust it properly. It has no quiet mode. Replace this old thing with new ones; it's not that expensive either. 7. Near the building where our room 406 was, there's a smoking area for staff. We have to walk past this spot every day, and it's dirty, with trash everywhere, as if it's not hotel property but a backyard in a village. 8. Water temperature fluctuations in the shower. There are only two options: scalding hot or freezing cold. It's impossible to get a medium temperature."

"Me and my partner had the most incredible time at Silavadee! After such a long flight, we loved the welcome drink amenities including private beach and the endlessly helpful staff. Nothing was too much to ask. The included breakfast was one of the best I have ever had at a hotel in my life. The choice of food including champagne, freshly squeezed orange juice and extensive À la carte menu were incredible touches. I would highly recommend this hotel for a romantic holiday, or was mainly couples and it had a nice vibe. The free shuttle to Chaweng beach was perfect and meant we could go and grab dinner on the strip and then get the luxury minibus back. Honestly, this was the best hotel I have ever stayed at and would love to return soon! o"

"The hotel's excellent location, essentially between two beaches, is ideal. The main drawback, in our opinion, is the lack of beach chairs and umbrellas on Chaweng Noi Beach from this hotel. Guests are forced to either walk to the main Chaweng Beach or wander around Chaweng Noi without an umbrella."

"Excellent value for money!!! It simply exceeded our expectations :) The small cottages have large terraces (with lighting, chairs, a table, a portable extendable clothes dryer, and clotheslines for drying clothes, as well as two umbrellas). Everything inside is incredibly well thought out and comfortable: a closet with hangers, a table, a mirror, plenty of outlets, including one by the bed, nightstands, lamps, a refrigerator, a kettle, a hairdryer, air conditioning (but blows directly on the single bed), and a fan (it's comfortably cool). There are mosquito nets on the windows (no holes!!!) and curtains. The bathroom is stocked with shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper, and soap. They provide light cleaning every day (they bring bottled water, change towels, and take out the trash). The pool is excellent (small and shallow – perfect for a child, and also suitable for adults), and is illuminated in the evenings. There's also a restaurant (we didn't go, so I can't comment on it). The sea is just steps away (the best part of the beach!), sun loungers in the natural shade of the trees. Sleep peacefully, without any blaring music in your ears! The location is simply excellent – ​​several 7/11s nearby, a 5-minute walk to the riverside night market (with monitor lizards), 10-15 minutes to Lotus (the food court there also has very affordable and delicious food), a cafe nearby serving fresh seafood (shrimp, lobster, fish), and a French bakery is also a 12-minute walk away. Taxi drivers are constantly hanging out at the hotel exit, and songthaews also travel along this road – very convenient! Overall, we were delighted with Utopia!! 10 out of 10, definitely! You won't find anything better for this price!"

"In the heart of Lamai the hotel is perfect, stretching between the town through road and the beach, the hotels pool is standout, utterly beautiful. The beach side massages are amazing, a must do. The rooms are a little tired but clean and tidy. After losing our booking, we were held at reception for an hour on arrival, while the recovered the booking that had been given to other guests, not the best of starts, but it must happen on occasion. Lamai was the right choice for us, loads to see and do, with rides out on the bhat buses to visit the other resorts. Would return to this location one of the nicest places in Thailand"

"What a pleasant surprise! This was the cheapest hotel we stayed at during our Chinese New Year trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. While it's not a Banyan Tree, the hotel's service, rooms, and food were all excellent. We had all our meals at the hotel, and even though it's halfway up a mountain, there's absolutely no need to bring your own food. The hotel restaurant serves delicious and affordable dishes; we paid less than 100 RMB per person. I highly recommend the Pad Thai – it's fantastic! Breakfast is à la carte, with tea, coffee, and eggs prepared in various ways. There are also poolside activities with an instructor leading aerobics. You can just lie on a beach chair and gaze at the sea, and our room balcony also faced the ocean. The spa was very reasonably priced. The room was huge; the tatami area in the living room could easily sleep three more people, haha. Besides needing a taxi to go anywhere, everything else was perfect. It's a great option if you're staying in Koh Samui for a longer period and want to pair it with a high-end hotel, or if it's your first time in Koh Samui and you plan on taking island excursions. During Chinese New Year, it felt like it was mostly foreigners, with very few Chinese guests. The front desk staff and servers were all very nice, always ready to pick us up with a buggy or help with luggage. We were even greeted with towels and tea upon arrival – the service was absolutely superb!"

"Not a bad hotel, but it's definitely geared more towards fishing. The rooms were cleaned every day, and the pool was really great – super clean. There were lovely cats around, two or three families worth, with lots of kittens, which created a nice, pleasant atmosphere. There are plenty of cheap Thai restaurants nearby, but getting anywhere else (like Chaweng or Lamai) takes at least 20+ minutes by moped. The breakfasts were laughable; if anyone actually paid for them, I'd feel sorry for them. They're quite expensive for what you get. The quality isn't bad, but for this kind of hotel, it's genuinely ridiculous. Each guest gets to choose one dish from a menu. We stayed for a week, and by the fourth day, we were already getting tired of it. But then again, it depends on what you're looking for. Overall, I'd recommend it."

"We had a wonderful stay at Baan Chaweng Beach Resort & Spa and are leaving with a very positive impression. This is a 3-star hotel, so it’s not luxury or ultra-modern, and some parts feel a bit dated—but everything is kept in absolutely spotless condition. The cleanliness really stands out. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the bedsheets were fresh and perfectly maintained. What truly makes this place special is the service. The staff are incredible—friendly, helpful, and always going above and beyond. The level of care and attention we received was honestly exceptional and rare to find. The location is perfect—right on a beautiful beach and in the center of Chaweng, which makes everything very convenient. We didn’t try the hotel food as we keep kosher and only had fruits, so we can’t comment on that. Also worth mentioning: there’s no real need to pay extra for higher-category rooms. The basic rooms in the main building are spacious, comfortable, and offer everything you need. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Amazing beach, outstanding service, and exceptional cleanliness. Highly recommended!"

"The hotel is located not far from Central. Can walk It takes about 5-10 minutes. The hotel is clean with complete facilities. The view upstairs is beautiful. The disadvantage is that there is no elevator. And the swimming pool closes a bit early (closed 18.00)"
