Pavilion Samui Villas and Resort

We came for the second time. We were a little disappointed: the villa turned out to be outdated and the toilet/shower, which was combined, was very uncomfortable. In addition, the bathroom has windows overlooking the pool and they were not covered with anything (there was no tinting film on one of them). There was a curtain, but it was extremely small and did not help hide the toilet from view from the street. There is not a single hook in the shower area to hang a robe or towel. But in the bathroom there are all the cabinets and a safe. That is, when someone takes a shower or toilet, there is no way to take their things (and I don’t like storing things in damp conditions). The door lock was rusty and it was very difficult to close it, especially since there was no lighting. In the evening it was a whole adventure: as soon as you took the key out of the device, after 5 seconds the villa plunged into darkness and you had to close the villa door, go up the steps in the dark into the courtyard and in the dark close another door to the courtyard. There were two sun loungers in the courtyard, but no umbrella or canopy to hide from the heat or rain. When it rained there was nowhere to dry things. About breakfast: you won’t go hungry, but there’s definitely not enough variety. There were very few Thai dishes to eat: an omelet station and sausages and muesli. Fruits: watermelon, pineapple, mango, unripe melon, bananas (alternated 3 types) The pool and beach were good. But there are stones right in front of the hotel...you have to move a little to the side. To order drinks on the beach you need to go to the pool bar (this is not convenient). Also, last year, in the evening, lanterns and poufs were beautifully placed on the beach, you could have a cocktail in a pleasant a**osphere... now this is not the case and part of the charm of the hotel has disappeared.

Trip is misleading because this hotel is not 5 stars, but 4. In my opinion, even 3.5. It needs renovation and is neglected. The loungers are falling apart, the pool is in a shabby condition. I stayed in 4 other hotels during this trip and this one certainly does not deserve such opinions, The swimming pool with a view of the sea is available until about 4 p.m. because people are already asking you to take your things because they are planning dinner. The service was very nice, but that's generally the charm of Thailand :-) After reporting twice, Trip did not get back to me with any feedback.
