The hotel was so close to the sea it was lapping the restaurant floor Our room had stupendous views and very roomy and comfortable The staff bent over backwards to help The gardeners took great care of the establishment

Considering we booked in July, and asked for ground floor because we are 73 and have difficulty climbing steps( sent message through booking.com) we were told they only had second floor left, also all sun loungers were occupied by towels, every morning even at 7.45am even though the people were not around, out of 9 days we only managed one day, the alternative was a bean bag, sorry we are 73, and can’t manage that

The most amazing sea view from the room, great balcony with comfy chairs, clean. The area is quiet. You can rent a bike from the hotel.

There is no real beach and this area is not swimmable, so you kinda need chairs at the pool if you wanna chill around, which is nearly impossible because guests „reserve“ the pool chairs very early in the morning by throwing towels on them, and during the day some of them are gone for hours but leave the chairs occupied. The hotel should act on this and put up the sign or something. Breakfast is a bit pricey. Otherwise all perfect.

The sea view from room is beautiful, more so at high tide. The rooms are large and have sofa and dining table. Reception staff very helpful. Pool lovely but could have a few more shade covers. Restaurant serves tasty, reasonably priced meals and fruit drinks from 1pm. Free use of kayaks. Good price for these facilities and service.

Many people have mentioned the distance but relative quiet of the hotel location. I agree it’s not bad because it’s so quiet and chilled there. But what should be mentioned is the sea water level. It never gets deeper than 1m and at low tide it is a mudflat. I wasn’t expecting that so was disappointed. Main Lamai beach and Chaweng beach are regular depth, going above one’s shoulders within a few steps. So if you want to swim in ocean, stay at those bigger beaches.

Our view and room were breathtaking. The biggest and nicest room we stayed in during our 3 week trip across 2 countries. Lovely property with a nice beach front pool.

You’re at the tip of Lamai area here, which meant a 10-15 min Uber to get to actual Lamai beach that was over 30 walking distance if that’s what you’re looking for. The beach is also not one you can swim in, as it’s too shallow for 1km or so. If swimming in the ocean is important to you, staying more central in Lamai may be better.

I stayed in the front villa (room 42) overlooking the pool and beach. Absolutely loved it - great value for money! The room was clean and the pillows were fabulous. Bed is not as hard as most Thai hotels but still very firm! The staff were lovely too - it’s always difficult to communicate when English is not their main language but they were helpful wherever they could such as taking my luggage to and from the room.

There were small ants but they didn’t bother me, nothing out of the ordinary for Koh Samui - it’s an island!

The ocean splashes onto the steps of the restaurant. They make the best garlic shrimps on request. They have the friendliest staff of all our hotels in Thailand (we stayed in 7 hotels). The bathrooms are newly tiled and modern. They have a nice spa and reception orders taxis and trips on your demand. The aircons functioned well. The rooms were extremely tidy and clean. Private beach is quiet and the ocean water is very warm, bordering on hot springs.

the steps to the beach need a railing. With all the rain they become dangerously slippery. Need smart TVs in the rooms. They dont have a lift.

The location was perfect. Right across from the nicest beaches in the area and steps from the night market with lots of food and free entertainment. Pool area was very nice. Could use a few more loungers and umbrellas right next to the pool though. Breakfast was good. Staff went out of their way to provide me with secure WiFi that I needed for work.

There is no restaurant other than the breakfast buffet. There is no bar. The gym is in a glass "fishbowl" in the lobby, which made it too uncomfortable for me to use. The AC in our room was either very cold or very warm. The comfortable setting was elusive and it blew directly on our bed. Other than that, the room was comfortable and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean.

The hotel complex is a great place to relax in good weather. The balcony and loungers on the ground floor offer a fantastic view. This stretch of beach is only partially suitable for swimming at high tide (for a person 1.78 m tall). The pool is open until the evening. The breakfast is perfectly adequate and fresh. Lunch and dinner are delicious. The staff enjoy their work and are extremely courteous and friendly. The scooter rental was fair and everything was in order, even though they only accepted cash payments. P.S A small gecko lives on the top right balcony. His name is Godzilla and he's happy when the light comes on.

Carrying the garbage upstairs shouldn't be done by the service ladies; there is certainly another alternative.

Comfy bed . Nice villa with patio , nice pool area ,staff were very helpful and friendly . The trainee was very friendly and the lady in the evening who checked us in was fantastic . Liked that we had tub and shower

The restaurant area needs something to make it more inviting to sit at . It’s pretty plain. Like nice likes and stuff to make it feel welcoming . A little out of the way , had to take taxis to town which was $20 Canadian each way . This is not the hotels fault but the beach you have to walk a long way in to get water to hips . Could not swim . We were surprised breakfast was not included in our $200 a night room , not sure what you would have had to pay for a room to get breakfast . Was the most expensive place we stayed and breakfast wasn’t included in our villa

The private beach was amazing, literally in front of the hotel with stunning views. We decided to walk to Lamai beach by the beach (took us like 1h) and the Lamai beach does not compare to the hotel beach. The water is quite shallow and barely any waves. The staff here was amazing, always helpful and kind. The rooms were clean with great view of the beach.

Perhaps the only downside is that the hotel feels isolated as it is on a side road which takes you about 10min to reach the main road by foot. No sidewalks. If you use a motorbike anyway it should be fine but if you don't then it's a bit annoying.
