Top Koh Samui Hotel Reviews

Chaweng Garden Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Location, staff"

Silavadee Pool Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Over my time here the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good. It wasn’t traditional breakfast, but it still was really good. The spa was amazing. I definitely recommend the spa. They always was so nice and so willing to help if you needed anything. They do offer car services if you need to go away from the area for a fee so nice the beach friend was amazing and the pool was nice too. Will be back 10/10 recommend"

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay staff where very helpful"

Sheraton Samui Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very good and staff always helpful and happy. Good shade on the beach edge too lay under after enough sun."

Chaweng Regent Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at the Chaweng Regent periodically for 15–20 years. It has an excellent location, a lovely beach and pleasant pools, within easy walking distance of central Chaweng but away from the busiest area. However, service can feel geared towards high-volume package tourism, which is frustrating when paying the full room rate. On this visit, my room was not ready at the advertised check-in time. After I complained, I was given a very comfortable replacement that appeared to have been prepared for honeymoon guests. Having just unpacked, I was then asked to move to my original room. I inspected it but declined: it was in a poor location beside the children’s pool and noticeably inferior. A few days later, the hotel generously upgraded me to an excellent beachfront bungalow, which compensated for the inconvenience. Nevertheless, this was my second stay this year, and rooms within the same category have varied considerably in location, condition and quality. Despite paying the full rate, I was concerned that my original allocation appeared to be one of the least desirable rooms. The facilities and location remain excellent, and this quieter visit was more relaxing than my stay in March. However, the inconsistency between rooms would make me nervous about booking again."

Six Senses Samui

10/10 Excellent

"Expensive but worth it"
