Hotels Near Bangrak Market in Koh Samui

My boyfriend and I were surprised by the excellent location of this hotel, this is what we call a Beachfront property. Excellent sea view and a good size pool for leisure. The breakfast was great. They even packed us a breakfast to go during our last stay due to early morning flight. The staff were friendly and willing to help. Of course, there are a few things that need to be looked at, cleanliness of the room, both my boyfriend and I were shocked by the amount of dust and long hair found on the floor and sofa during our check-in day. We immediately highlighted to the staff and the quickly came to clean up the place again, not a good first impression though, but they managed to salvage in time. And the supposedly Smart TV does not connect to the internet at all, highlighted to the staff and they changed a new TV for us. That's excellent service recovery. May we suggest that the rooms to be throughly cleaned before handing over to your next check-in customers, if we have to wait till 2pm to get a room, just make sure cleaned and dust free.

The reason I booked Kimpton was because of the interior design, very beautiful property. The room was nice and comfortable with spacious balcony. Staffs are very helpful and nice, just a bit out of control during breakfast time, kinda feel like understaff. It’s a great place for family so not so recommended for couples or people who prefer quiet and privacy. Foods at the fish house restaurant are amazing, fresh ingredients and good quality. Plus point is the sunrise is so beautiful from Kimpton.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, courteous, and always ready to assist with any questions. Kudos to the entire team for delivering such heartfelt service. This is truly what exemplary hospitality looks like! 👍🏻👏🏻

I got the suite with the pool, it does not look like the photos. I had a pretty high traffic area where my pool faced, and there’s loud music at the restaurant next door, last thing I wanted when I was hoping for isolation after 8 weeks of rough work on the road. A door was missing in my bedroom and maintenance had to come reinstall it on my second day. Spa never had an availability during my stay, and buggies are required to go anywhere in the park (unless roaming in the heat is your thing). The service was slow at times (I’d often come back to my room and see room service plates stacked outside for a later cleanup) - but my room was meticulously cleaned each day and the buggy staff were incredibly friendly.

We stayed at the Garrya Tongsai for 4 nights as part of a relaxation trip. The property is located along a hill with most room balconies facing towards the sea. The property has a good green cover and provides amazing views of the bay. The staff were always smiling and ready to help. Things that were a bit disappointing for the property. The private beach is just pebbles and no sand. During our entire stay, we went to the resort beach only on the first day. Rest of the time, we went outside to the nearby Choengmon beach which is nice and quiet with a sandy beach and great to swim. Also, the pools feel a bit dated compared to other resorts. The rooms were ok but felt slightly small. Not the fanciest but acceptable. Also, the tub is placed on the balcony and fully visible from the pool. Not a big problem, but please keep in mind. We told the staff and after a bit back and forth, they put up a screen to give some privacy. The breakfast, we felt had limited options and the spread did not change much during our stay. The options, especially the local Thai food was lacking any spice or flavour. Also, the fresh fruit lacked much flavours - maybe due to seasonal variations. However, the staff was very friendly and cared for us well. Also, one thing to consider - the property is located on a hill and getting around requires buggies which hotel staff are happily able to provide. However, we felt that it prevented us from being too independent. Also, we had rented a car and the parking is a bit far away. We spent most of the time outside the property as we did not feel that our needs were met by the resort and had to depend On going outside for beach, food etc. Please note that we had already stayed elsewhere for the first half and had hoped for a resort vacation during the final 4 nights which we did not get. A bit disappointed overall.

We were supposed to stay two nights at Melia Samui, but we had such a great checkin thanks to Rita that we immediately extended our stay with 7 more days. We also consider staying 10 more days, a total of 19 nights :) All the employees of the hotel are extremely professional and make you feel at home. We were there with our 7 months old baby and felt that this hotel is very safe regarding covid and hygiene. I also have to mention the amazing breakfast and the nice food at the Breeza beach restaurant. Always very fresh and well prepared. The price is a bit higher than a local restaurant behind the hotel, but the view is exceptional and the food is great made with prenium ingredients. We definitely come back with our family.

We stayed in a pool room villa which was lovely. We really enjoyed the hotel and amenities. The beach by the hotel was lovely (a little bit of litter, but lovely temperature). The communication could have been better - we didn’t realise there was a shuttle between this hotel and the twin hotel, or that the hotel provided kayaks and stand up paddle boards until the last day (we paid to rent a SUP earlier in our stay). The breakfasts were awesome, very enjoyable!

The staff where very friendly and helpful the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was a little poor could do with a bit more of a selection. The location was great for us not to busy and not far from the busy area with bars and night life. I Would definitely recommend a trip to Wat Plai Laem temple. We hired bikes from the hotel to get there.

The hotel is conveniently located (you can walk to the center). Breakfasts are varied. The entrance to the sea is by steps, the water is clean. There are few people in the sea (more precisely, no one), since Europeans prefer the pool. Nearby there is an opportunity to organize active recreation on the water (sapas, kayaks, scooters, etc.). There are many sun loungers (even when the hotel is fully occupied, 2-3 per person). The rooms in the hotel are large and equipped with everything you need. The only sad moment was the check-in, since there was no room with 2 beds (as originally booked). They actively tried to put us in one ... Since it was December 31 and there were no more options for accommodation on the entire island, we had to insist on our booking and find options on the spot. I do not understand why they immediately refused to provide an extra bed, although this somehow smoothed out the situation (since sometimes you want to sleep at night). Let it not be exactly what I wanted to get for the holiday, but they still found and provided an extra bed in the room.

Very beautiful hotel with a scenic sea view. Loved their breakfast and hospitality was top! Very professional. Specially, I must mention the person near the front desk (forgot his name) who looks after the parking vehicles and takes care of the luggages. Additionally all of the hotel staff were so welcoming that made our stay very happening. * there is a very good travel agent just near the hotel, you can rent bike, cars and plan tours (Bunpa Travel) [contact person: Pam & Lay] ** at night, the pool side sea beach is so peaceful, you will love it instantly and can spend hours just sitting there with a music.
