Immaculate, excellent staff and hospitality, gorgeous and classy design, the grounds are a paradise. We had an issue with the Lomprayah ferry and were having the “traveler grumps”, not the responsibility of the resort to fix. But as we would experience every day here, Nick (manager) went above and beyond to provide the best hospitality we’ve experienced in Thailand and anywhere else in our travels. The restaurant and pool manager, Eak, always welcomed us at the pool or meals and remembered us even though we only stayed three days. Natty, one of the restaurant and pool staff was also very friendly and made us feel at home. All of the staff, groundskeepers and housekeepers included, were always ready with a welcome and a smile. The turndown service in the evening, lighting candles and setting out slippers, was an example of the attention to detail the characterized our stay. The grounds, room, pool, and restaurant are all spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained. We stayed in the deluxe garden villa, and it felt very private. The view was of a bamboo covered creek in front, and the beautiful pond and Thai restaurant on the side visible through large windows. The bed was HUGE and comfortable, the AC was strong and effective. The pool area is similarly beautiful, just as in the pictures. The restaurant breakfast and other meals were very good and the ambiance in the evening can’t be beat. Again, the staff took everything to the next level. The location is good, it’s a 5 minute walk to the Fisherman Village and far enough that you don’t get the noise from the music at night. The average age here is probably 50 or older (we’re late 20s), but families would feel welcomed and the quiet is a feature unless you’re looking for a party hotel. We fully recommend staying here, you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Absolutely stunning room! I have stayed at maybe 8-10 hotels along the beach in Koh Samui and this one is hands down the winner! I took my mom to Koh Samui for her 75th Bday and wanted this trip to be extra special. The hotel is right on the beach, the 2 restaurants are delicious, you are directly across the street from the best massages, and this is the most authentic Thai hotel I have ever stayed at. OUR ROOM was not a room, it was like a small home! You are also walking distance to the Fisherman's Village Night Market which we went to 3 times. So much fun staying in this area! Final Score: 10 out of 10

Nothing. Fantastic hotel!

Extremely beautiful resort, very authentic design! The nature and the care of its employees were amazing. Very clean and comfortable. All the staff were very helpful and smiley! Spa massage was really nice.

Breakfast variety was great, but quality was a bit of a letdown - this may need a revisit for improvements. Unrelated to the first comment here as it might have been just my sensitive tummy, but everything I ate at the resort restaurant by the beach did not go well with me (this also applies for other restaurants in the village; I was eventually able to eat ok at Anantara).

The room was very large and clean, the staff were amazing, always attentive. The pool and beach area were great, a really nice beach to swim in but the best part was the location, close to the walking street where all the restaurants, the food market, cafes were all located. Would not hesitate to return, highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel set in stunning tropical gardens and right on Bophut beach. It's a short stroll to the Fisherman's Market where there are lots of restaurants and a great night market several nights a week. The rooms are a really good size and kept very clean. The staff at the hotel couldn't do enough to help you and were so friendly. It was my partner's birthday whilst we were there and without me arranging anything all the staff knew and wished him a "happy birthday", from the housekeepers, to the receptionist, the pool guy and the whole breakfast team who brought him a cake and sang happy birthday. Such amazing attention to detail.

Only minor criticism is the music played around the pool and restaurant was cheesy ballads and forgotten boyband hits of the 90s (and not in a fun way). Something more upbeat would have been great and set a more holiday mood. Nobody seemed to use the restaurant and bar at night which meant there was no atmosphere... Not really an issue as there are so many other options nearby.

The room was extraordinary! One of the best rooms we ever had. The private pool was wonderful for a cool down swim before going to sleep. Breakfast buffet leaves no wish open and is of best quality. The beach was clean and quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, few minutes walk to the busy night market/Fishermans Village and right outside the hotel are lots of great restaurants and massage shops (half the price of Fishermans Village)!

Nothing.

The hotel grounds were luxuriant and immaculately groomed. Our bungalow was surrounded by lush vegetation that provided privacy and enveloped us in calm. At the same time, we were very close to the pool and the beach. The property was quiet and peaceful. The tranquil atmosphere was felt as soon as we entered the reception area and were welcomed by the friendly staff. Our room was large and tastefully designed in the Thai style. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the breakfast buffet which was varied and fresh, with mostly Western but also Asian offerings. Each day also brought some new foods to try in addition to the standard breakfast fare. The hotel is within easy walking distance to Fisherman's Village, shops and restaurants, yet it's completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the commercial area.

The beach was disappointing. The sand was coarse, making walks a challenge, Furthermore, the water was murky and had some silt on the surface. We were told this was related to the weather conditions at the time. So we ended up bathing at the pool which was fine. And one day we used Bolt to go to Silver Beach that has fine sand and transparent waters.

Great breakfast with a lot of options, amazing resort beautifully decorated, big room and very helpful staff Best location in koh samui

Nothing

Amazing facilities! Incredibly friendly and helpful staff =)

There was nothing we would have changed.

Well run hotel next to the beach. We stayed in a garden bungalow. The room was very spacious and clean. Staff were very helpful, always trying to please. Fishermans Wharf is a 10 min walk away offering lots of bars & restaurant.
