Find Resorts in Koh Samui

"Excellent value for money, and the view is absolutely stunning! The staff are lovely, and the air conditioning is wonderfully cool. I'll definitely be back!"

"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 is just a few meters away from the beach. We had the balcony with no sea view and still got to see the ocean. It was beautiful would definitely stay here again. Although I would recommend to air out the room first as we dealt with humidity smell for the first two nights."

"We really liked the Utopia Resort. It was clean, well-maintained, and quiet. We stayed in a bungalow overlooking the pool. The sea was 20 meters away, and the water was clear and warm. Low tide was only 2 meters. The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed, and water was replenished every day! The staff was friendly and always answered all our questions. Sun loungers and beach towels were free for hotel guests. We didn't have meals, and it didn't bother us at all, as there were plenty of cafes around, a night market behind the bridge, and we could eat in the hotel restaurant. We always had our own breakfast. We bought yogurts, bread, cheese, and bacon at 7:11. In the morning, we drank coffee and ate fruit and sandwiches by the pool. We had the best massage therapists at the hotel. We tried many salons around, but no one does it better than ours. In 10 days, they put me on my legs, I got a pinched nerve. The hotel is quiet, at 6:00 pm all life stops), but if you want fun, there are lots of bars around! I recommend the hotel!"

"Overall, it was okay, but I felt the price was a bit high. The soundproofing was really good, with a double balcony. Our windows faced the road, but we slept perfectly well – only the air conditioning made noise! The beach is nice, the sand is a bit coarse in places, not like flour, but quite comfortable, almost like a massage. You don't have to walk far for good depth either. There were no problems with sun loungers, but we usually arrived early; by lunchtime, there were none available (but I guess that's common everywhere). Housekeeping was daily, no complaints there. Breakfast: buffet style, modest, but you definitely won't go hungry. Three types of eggs, rice/potatoes/noodles, pancakes/fritters, always soup, cheese, one type of sausage, one type of hotdog, salad, vegetables, bread, croissants, jams, three types of fruit: watermelon, pineapple, and something else that varied, various cereals with milk, tea, coffee, juices (from a carton). The coffee and tea are brewed in teapots, not from a machine. We only stayed a few days, so it wasn't a big issue. The bath leaks a little, but there's even a drain for it, as if they specifically anticipated and solved this problem with a drain. It just feels like you expect a bit more for the price. The staff are good. The massage parlor across the street is recommended."

"They are calling themselves a wellness hotel and they are! The staff are very nice and attentive to the details. There are interesting sessions to attend during your stay and you will love it. The breakfast options were great and I enjoyed them so much while I stayed. The hotel provided a shuttle bus to central mall in case you don't drive. I won't recommend to walk from the main road to the hotel. I want to highlight the gym here that people will love and one more thing the hotel won't accept the customer under 16 years old."

"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 room was fantastic — big, clean, with a good interior and great materials. However, the bathroom does not separate the wet and dry zones. There is a big bathtub attached to the toilet. You have to shower in the bathtub and everything gets wet The hotel seems to be short-staffed, which affects the overall service quality. The staff seemed too tired, which is why they were not very friendly. there was a lack of coordination between the breakfast area and the front desk staff. The parking area was quite limited and narrow Even though I requested special needs through the Trip App. I did not receive them."
