Big rooms with a private swimming pool. We had a beach and ocean view, which was great. Breakfast was fantastic with a la carte menu. Staff was very friendly and the hotel was walking distance to the main entertainment area.

Didn’t like that there were so many Israelis in the hotel (and in Koh Samui in general). They were very loud and obnoxious. We heard a lot is screaming, shouting and disturbance in the room next to us and in the hallways (loud adults and screaming kids).

Superb accommodation, that looks exactly like the photographs. The staff were amazing and helpful with our one year old daughter. Upon check-in, you can choose your pillow & the smell of soap/bodylotion you prefer in your room. Also, SALA provides an app that you can use throughout your stay to communicate with the staff about housekeeping/restaurants reservations and everything else you can think of. Amazing and very responsive service. During our stay in Thailand, we stayed in various 5-star resorts, but this was by far the best hotel we stayed in. We will definitely return to Koh Samui and to SALA Chaweng specifically. We highly recommend this hotel! Also, short walk to Chaweng center + 24/7 supermarket in front of the resort. The Tent serves very good breakfast, lunch and dinner with amazing views.

During our stay it was really crowded and we could not always find beds on the beach. That being said, there were always sunbeds available (they also have sunbeds near the pool and loungers on the grass, etc.).

Beautifully designed hotel with tastefully decorated, super spacious rooms, set in luscious grounds. Staff are very friendly and attentive. So many nice little touches, like special bedtime tea blend in the room every night, and lots of handy amenities. Great setup on the beach with sufficient number of lounges, didn’t have a problem getting one at all, and a great restaurant beachside. Gym well equipped and nice too. The hotel I think is making sustainability efforts. It’s great that they provide free “tap” water (bottled water from bigger barrels) instead of the plastic bottles seen everehere in Asia. This is provided iced cups on the beach for everyone , and at the restaurant. Our room had its own private pool which was amazing ! We loved our stay and would come again!

The price of the room (on the expensive side in Thailand) is worth it for the level of comfort and service), however I feel that the spa treatments, and the prices at the restaurant for food and drinks are very overpriced for Thailand, and seemed to be the most expensive of any of the other hotel menus we saw. $8 AUD for a bottle of San Pellegrino mineral water is excessive. The food undoubtedly was delicious, really beautiful thai food, but similar prices to what you would pay in Australia. Then don’t forget the additional 10% and 7% in taxes on top. It’s fine if you have no problem paying - it’s very convenient and the quality and service at the restaurant is high, however maybe slight adjustment would be more commensurate.

Loved everything about it.. the staff were amazing.. the beach was awesome. It has a supermarket which is open 24/7, were you can find all the things you needed. Close to some restaurants only walking distance.

Everything! The service is exceptional and everything is designed for you to have the best experience

We had an infinity pool suite, there is only one bed in the private pool, only one person can enjoy it at a time, which was a bit strange. We didn’t use the private pool as much as we planned because of it.

Beautiful accommodation in a great spot in Chaweng. We stayed for our honeymoon and are so glad we did, we were provided with a complimentary bottle of wine and dessert which was really nice. The service was fantastic including choice of soaps, body lotion and pillows. The rooms came with complimentary fruit and nuts and a turn down service with tea delivered each evening. They also have an arrangement with a local motorbike hire company so you can hire and collect from the hotel. Rooms were beautiful and spacious. The beach set up with free paddle boards and canoes to use was great, the staff also bring you ice water regularly and even fruit and fruit juice at different times. We also had a really great experience dining on the beach at the tent restaurant, the food was really nice and the view even nicer.

The only piece of feedback I have is that a few of the walls around our pool had been touched up and it didn’t look great. The pool also got quite dirty regularly from the trees above, it was cleaned on most days we were but on one day it wasn’t and had built up quite a lot of leaves and things in it.

- Modern, clean and very beautiful hotel and really nice garden pool villa - very friendly and helfpul staff - beautiful beach with free water, little snacks and SUPs and kajaks available free of charge - Good international breakfast

- The moon pool area was unfortunately renovated during our stay (this somewhat detracted from the ambience) but we were given fair vouchers as compensation instead [two freew cocktails every day and one dinner at sexy fish | value: approx. 250 - 300 €] - The Thai breakfast dishses were compared to others a bit poor - Service prices for e.g., massage or drivers are way over the avarage

Best highlight of our stay at Sala Samui was the breakfast by the beach! The 'tent' where we had breakfast had a wonderful array of buffet breakfast options as well as a la carte menu that you can order from with specials daily. The a la carte options were out of this world - my personal favourite being the banana cake with espresso butter and my husband enjoyed his shakshuka which was perfection! Chaweng beach was lovely for beach walks & was gentle for swimming and paddling around for my daughter. Hotel room was amazing - super comfortable bed and even more amazing was the customizable option of the pillow menu where you can choose the type of pillow you want to sleep on! The amenities in the room were first class from bath salts, to lemongrass scented shower gel & lotions (again you may customise yours!). We were even given complimentary soothing night time brewed teas. The property itself was aesthetically beautiful with everything moon shaped or making references to the moon including the Moon pool. The beach accessories - lounge beds by the pool side and the couches we can lounge on the beach were very comfortable for lazy afternoons at the beach. The Pink flower massage parlour at the beach next to the 'Tent' - did amazing massages on the beach to the sound of gentle ocean waves. The open air movie nights on the projector on the lawn was such a super experience especially for my daughter who thoroughly enjoyed herself! Bonus for the crunchy caramel popcorn whilst watching! Lastly we enjoyed watching the 'Fireshow' that the hotel put on at the beach - it was an electrifying & beautiful performance. Recommend trying out outside -Italian restuarant Prego if you want a change.

Moon Pool could get a little crowded and too many smokers everywhere from poolside to beach area & restuarant 'Tent' side. We also found that one room near us maybe a floor below us, (we were on 3rd floor our outdoor pool facing the beach) they were blasting music from their room which wasn't considerate for others around them. We had to complain to reception about it for them to stop/lower the volume. Cleaning staff/housekeeping were not thorough and consistent in their cleaning and tidying up of room. I would recommend that there is room for improvement here.

Context: stayed in a villa with pool - cleanliness - attention and reactivity of the staff - quietness (villas are located on a separate side from the hotel rooms) - front beach - breakfast selection

- 1st question I got asked when I arrived to the hotel was “can you pls give your credit card?” - shocking for a 5 star property - felt like we were in a factory and staff needed to get rid of the new arrivees asap - dinner at the 2 hotel restaurants (Tent and Sexy Fish) is pricy for the quality of the food served - [preference] next time I will opt to stay in Bo Phut vs Chaweng as Chaweng is full of tourists but that’s a personal preference that maybe you want to consider as well

The staff are fantastic and very helpful, definitely feels like a top tier hotel experience. The hotel is just as beautiful as the pictures. 10/10 for architecture. The rooms are equally stylish, and the huge shower/bath area seemed a bit strange at first but it was actually very luxurious feeling. The room had the best bath I've used in my life. Breakfast was great as well, high quality and great ambience. The best part of the hotel is likely the spa, best we've done in Thailand. Like the rest of the hotel it's incredibly stylish and the spa staff and whole experience was wonderful.

If you stay in the garden side of the hotel, walking to your room can be quite long. Note however that this side is quieter than ocean side. While the path you walk getting around the hotel looks nice in pictures, it's super slippery after it rains (which is often). Also, the hotel offers some activities but not suitable for when it rains. It would be nice if there were other options.
