The Flow Samui Beach Resort Hotels in Koh Samui

The Flow Samui Beach Resort

"Charming  stylish hotel on the beach. Friendly staff, nice rooms, simple breakfast, good restaurant and bar. Some beach bars within walking distance. Downsides are no gym, uncomfortable beds with cheap linen, service can be slow, nothing much within walking distance so you need a scooter or to use taxis to go anywhere  For such an adult feeling hotel we were surprised by how many young families with babies and small children were staying. Made it feel a bit like a kindergarten sometimes."

ibis Samui Bophut Hotels in Koh Samui

"This hotel is great if you want a quieter area of Samui but right by the beach (the longest on the island). Staff are polite, friendly and helpful, breakfast is ample and the pool(s) area with bar/restaurant is simply wonderful. I left some items behind by mistake and contacted the hotel and of course I had to pay but they were very efficient in organising their return to me in China. Hope to see you again! Thanks and best wishes."

J4 Samui Hotel Hotels in Koh Samui

J4 Samui Hotel

"J4 Samui Hotel & Resort – Highly Recommended First of all, I would like to say a big thank you to a staff member named Bew. She is absolutely fantastic. I accidentally left my bank cards in an envelope inside the safety box. She tried to contact me when I was already in Bangkok, and then kindly sent everything to my address in Bangkok. I truly appreciate what she did — 5-star customer service for her. The room was small but very cozy. I loved the candle scent in the room; it was so relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was modern and extremely clean. I also liked the old-style furniture, which gave a very traditional Thai feeling. The location is excellent — only a 1-minute walk to the beach. I had a great stay for 4 nights and would definitely recommend this hotel. I would happily stay here again."

"We stayed in a bungalow with the most beautiful sea view from the window, a nice garden, and a great pool. The beach is beautiful, but shallow and rocky."

Crystal Lamai Hotel Hotels in Koh Samui

Crystal Lamai Hotel

"The good thing about the hotel is that it is relatively quiet. The pool was nice. The gym was very barebone, however, with almost no equipment inside. It is not located on the beach, you need to walk about 10 minutes, which is not bad. However, there is no place for you to sit on the beach as almost everywhere is occupied by bars or beach front resorts. The main problem I found with the hotel is its surrounding and its location. The hotel is not located at the lively market which is much further away and difficult to access by walking due to heavy traffic (I had to go to the beach every day and walk along the shore). I really struggled to find good food near the hotel and only had an ice cream for lunch. Also the hotel is located quite far from almost all attractions in Lamai aside from the beach, such as Guan-Yu shrine, red temple, Hin Ta Hin Yai, etc., and the taxi is very costly here. Also if you want to go to Chaweng beach it's almost 400 baht by taxi. I would recommend this hotel provided you have your own mode of transportation."

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui Hotels in Koh Samui

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

"The hotel was nice, but needs upgrading as the room was partially updated, but they should have done it all, as it looks odd. Identity was not clear as looked old and new as the same time. Hot water was not working for 2 days of the stay. Service was good overall and porters took our bags to room which was great as there were lots of steps and our room was at the end of the complex. The door to room was old and opening the door was an art. Rooms were large and beds comfortable. I think the worst part was we went to the BBQ and fire show on the last night. We thought as we were going on flight to the net island we would be safe at the hotel. I had the seafood BBQ and the food tasted and looked overcooked. I ate some but left quite a bit. In the night is was very ill and in the morning i told the staff as we left. She rang the manager and she said that they could not do anything as nobody else has been ill and reported it. It was 6am as we had an early flight. I have been to many hotels and if this was the case, they would have accepted my word. I was not after the refund of the meal as this would not help my situation. But more the acknowledgement of their failure to provide quality food on the night, especially considering the rating of the hotel. I ended up being ill for another night. I could not eat for another day and i had a trip to Phi Phi island the following day. I was up all night, but with medication i was able to go on the trip. I dont think the hotel realised the impact their poor food had on my experience and holiday. I would say it was very poor service and if nobody else complained, as most people dont, they would not accept responsibility. Also, they put the onus on my to email them to see if anyone else was ill, before they would do anything. That is just terrible customer service. Who ever the manager is need to be retrained and taught about how to treat customers who have had a bad experience."

"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were welcoming and professional. The room was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding. The location was convenient, close to shops and restaurants. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi could be a bit slow at times. Overall, I would recommend this hotel and would consider staying here again."

COSI Samui Chaweng Beach ★★★
"The hotel is very close to the airport, and the surrounding area is entirely commercial. There are three motorbike rental shops opposite the hotel; the closest one is the most expensive, and the furthest one charges 200 baht a day. Although the room isn't huge, I booked a king-sized bed room for just over 180 a day during the May Day holiday – it's even cheaper than hotels in China! It's clean, and they clean it every day. Even though you have to switch elevators for buildings 2 and 3, you can directly access the mall through the back entrance. Highly recommended!"

Mantra Samui Resort, Adult Only ★★★★★
"A warm welcome from the reception staff and they were nice enough to bring us and our bags up to our room, good thing too as the hills within the hotel rooms are very steep. Extremely nice room, beautiful infinity pool overlooking Koh Samui. The breakfast is excellent with many choices you order off the menu rather than the traditional buffet style. The gym was also well equipt for a light workout. The only thing I will say is that this hotel is slightly difficult to access if you are on foot. Its not like you can take a 5 minute stroll to the main high street, its a long windy road with lots of hills and sharp turns, a car or scooter will be needed to get from the hotel to the town but aside from that its an excellent hotel and I would happily visit again."

"Booked a sea view room, located on a hillside, and the views were absolutely unbeatable. The room was also spotlessly clean, and the air conditioning worked great. The breakfast buffet offered different options every day, and we also got a free hour of kayaking. The restaurant had a different themed dinner set menu every night, and the food was delicious. Very satisfied overall."

Bhundhari Chaweng Beach Resort Koh Samui ★★★
"Overall it's a really mixed experience. The room was comfortable, and the AC adequate. Unfortunately it's also a pretty shabby looking places, the bathroom was frankly disgusting, and on more than one occasion the bathroom ceiling leaked liquid like a waterfall, as though the person above was overflowing a running bath. This happened even after staff came to fix it one night. The staff are really nice and the housekeeping team are good, it just really needs a full renovation."
