Top South Thailand Hotel Reviews

A modern hotel room with a large bed, a TV, a glass-enclosed swimming pool, and a view of the sea.

The Little Shore Khao Lak by Katathani

Takua Pa

10/10 Excellent

If I could permanently live at Little Shore I would! The property is brand new and we stayed in a villa during their soft opening, so there was still construction going on. Because it is a new property there are still some minor kinks to work out, but the service is absolutely immaculate! The A/C in our bathroom had very poor air flow, so it was a bit warm at times. They offered to move us to a different room, but it wasn't that big of a deal to us so we declined. They placed a portable A/C unit...

Banyan Tree Samui

Koh Samui

10/10 Excellent

Check in was easy and great. They provided a welcome drink and snack. The staff was very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was nice and clean. I really liked the room as it was kind of by itself up on the hill. Having the pool just outside the room was great and the hot tub was amazing, especially at night. The property was always being cleaned and the grounds were very clean also. Breakfast was good with the buffet, room service also made good food. Overall this was a great property...

Schayan

A resort pool with a clear view of the ocean, surrounded by palm trees and a sandy beach.

Centara Reserve Samui

Chaweng City Center

10/10 Excellent

Every aspect of the facility and our experiences there were outstanding. The only suggestion I would make is regarding dairy housekeeping. The staff are wonderful but they are provided with a broom rather than a vacuum cleaner for cleaning. The result is some accumulation of dust etc in the corners and remote areas of the room. Understanding that speed of turnover is important, but in light of the low cost and high availability of labor, hiring additional workers and purchasing vacuum cleaners...

Sa Khu

10/10 Excellent

I was wrapping up a separate vacation trip to Phuket and wanted a nice place near the airport for the 3 nights before I could fly out. I found this on Tripadvisor, with a deal from Expedia. In my younger years I worked in hospitality, so I'm a bit jaded about hotels, especially resorts. But I thought I'd go for the experience and am pleased to say that the Slate exceeded all expectations. In over 60 years of travel, I'd be hard pressed to say that I've had better service, cleanliness and meals...

Very nice resort hotel located on its own private bay. Great for families and there were lots of kids. Although I enjoyed this resort very much I would of rather stayed in Patong. I was here to see Phuket area. I was traveling with another adult so the kid part I could of done without but not that I don't like kids! We did get a stomach bug and was down for over 24 hrs. I don't think it was the food but probably the kids. The rooms were big and spacious. They do have craft beers. They provide...

Absolutely incredible. The pictures don't even do it justice even though they are gorgeous. We had our room made and stocked with water and chocolates multiple times a day so every time we came back from our daily outing we returned to a clean room. Room service is fast and delicious. The oriental spoon is a truly fine dining experience with A+ food and service. Get the breakfast too in your package. It was usually the same each day but with lots of choices like a chef for your eggs, gluten free...
