The beachfront stay/room is absolutely beautiful. It couldnt have been done better than this. You had direct private access to the beach and the pvt pool had everything you needed - from shower to tap for cleaning your feet before you enter the room. The view is to die for.

There is no hospitality here at all. No warmth from the staff. Given that i was travelling with an infant and i needed to feed her before feeding myself, i was denied breakfast because i was 10mins late. And whats worse is that the reception staff lady instead of being courteous-at the very least, blamed me. When all i did was raise a concern that you should be more accommodating and bare minimum you couldve atleast offered a croissant. Its sad how they ruined my entire stay with just this one negative experience.

More than pleased with celes samui. Food, people, rooms - everything was excellent and would stay there again. Saw lots of comments about the beach / sea and walking to Fisherman village. Essentially, we liked the idea of eating at lots of various places during our stay. The walk (via the road) to Fisherman's village, was around 10 mins and we managed to walk that route regularly, with no issues. Loads of great places to eat and drink, which are a lot cheaper than the UK. For a really cheap night, you could eat at the fishermans village market. In terms of the beach, there are better in samui, but we were happy to use the pool at Celes and also take a dip in the sea. Chaweng is 10 mins in a taxi or songthaew - which is around £4. We used to have breakfast at Celes and then pick a new beach to visit - like Chaweng, Limai, Choeng mon. And other days relax by the pool.

Infiniti pool was closed for repairs. But it was low season and they have to make repairs at some stage - so no probs.

The resort boasts three stunning pools, each providing a perfect spot to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings. The breakfast offerings were amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options to start the day. My room by the pool was fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and with easy access to the pool area, making it ideal for a refreshing swim at any time. The location of the resort is perfect, situated conveniently close to local attractions yet offering a serene and peaceful environment. Celes has everything you’re looking for in a hotel. Don’t get fooled by the comments about the old and new part. Wherever you are, everything is close and beautiful.

The only minor downside was that the prices for in-house services and dining were a bit higher than what you typically expect. However, the overall experience and quality of service made it worth the splurge.

Amazing resort with great pool areas. Very quiet, big room, clean, good service and good variety of breakfast. Nice area, easy accessable by walking to shops, restaurants.

Not connected to hotel at all but the sand at the beach is not as soft and not easy to swim in the sea.

The breakfast was the BEST we had in thailand. The pools were so nice, we stayed in the deluxe rooms near the beach but the other complex looked a little unwelcoming.. But the place is great

Very friendly and polite staff. Good varied international buffet breakfast. Beautiful gardens and pool areas and located at quiet end of beach. A few minutes walk to reasonably priced restaurants, travel agents, pharmacy and shops and 15 minutes walk to Fisherman's Village tourist area and night market.

Signs to stop guests reserving sun beds all day long when not in use should be implemented to prevent unnecessary guest conflict.

We loved our stay there! Everything was great, starting from the staff that were very friendly and attentive while in the same time discrete and offering you privacy. The room was very clean and comfortable and in good shape. The breakfast was excellent and fresh with lots of choices every day. Lovely green garden, beautiful palm trees along the beach, fantastic beach views from both restaurants and one pool. Great massage at the spa, worth spending more money on than the ones outside. We enjoyed every day!

There was one thing that we found really disturbing throughout the stay. The fact that every single morning, some guests would occupy the sun beds by the pools with a beach towel long before they would actually use it. That made it very hard for others and us to find available sun beds when we would have liked to really spend time by the pools. So we often ended up looking frustrated at the empty occupied sun beds. This happened in other hotels too, however we saw that the hotels can get a bit involved into the matter and make some courtesy rules at the pool so that everyone can have a chance to enjoy some time there. Anyways this didn't ruin our stay but it was a trigger to get irritated because it happened every day.

Excellent breakfast. Nice pool area and you can dip in the sea. Not so private but works fine. Pool area quite busy and people reserve sunbeds.

Quite pricey compared to quality. We had our room close to the street which was noisy especially at night. Air con and street noise kept us awake despite we had ear plugs. Make sure to book a room from the beach side.

Rooms were very spacious with nice view of the pool/sea. Lots of choice for breakfast.

Piped music on the complex all day. Would prefer peace and quiet!

We did not plan to spend all vacation at the hotel, but it turned out to be such a lovely place so we prolonged our stay. Yet, there were some issues. First of all, it is important to know that the hotel has two parts; one is pretty basic and another is much nicer and more modern. We realized it on our third day, while exploring the nearest hotels in order to choose the place to spend the rest of our holiday. What you see on the photos is actually the better part of the hotel. And if you book the standard room you’ll probably be accommodated in the basic part of the hotel. We spent there our first four nights and didn’t like it much; balcony facing the pool and the opposite building, big but very simple room. Long story short, when we found that lovely part of Celes villas, we asked our tour agent to book the room there for the rest of our stay, which made it 14 nights total. But when we asked the receptionist about our booking, we were informed that they reserved the same standard room for us, whilst our booking was made for the deluxe room. After a while, the hotel agreed to provide us the better room where we wanted and last 10 nights we spent in the cute room with nice view. After all, we really enjoyed the place. It is just 10 minutes beach walk from the Fisherman village, there are plenty places to do sports and yoga meeting sunrises, clean beach and pleasant sea, lots of massage services on the beach as well as next to the road, laundry service and car rent just in front of the hotel. And breakfast was good, it would be great to add some seafood options, but still there were enough options to choose from even for my quite strict diet.
