Scenic Hotels in Koh Samui

"A Relaxing Stay with Warm and Wonderful Service We stayed for 3 nights with 2 adults and 1 child, and overall, we had a very pleasant and relaxing stay. We were especially delighted to receive a complimentary upgrade to the Jacuzzi Villa. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Even with an extra bed for our child, there was still plenty of space and it never felt cramped. We also loved having the private courtyard, which was a lovely little space to sit, relax and enjoy some quiet time. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the staff. Everyone was friendly, polite and always greeted us with a smile. A special thank you to Ms. Kob, who was exceptionally warm and helpful. She was always willing to assist us and made us feel very well taken care of. Her genuine hospitality really added to our experience. The breakfast was good as well, with a decent variety of choices. For guests who prefer stronger and spicier Thai flavours, the food may taste a little milder than expected, but we still enjoyed the selection. The location is another plus. The beach is within walking distance, so it was very convenient to enjoy the seaside without having to drive. It gave us a very relaxing holiday atmosphere. There are a few areas where the property could benefit from some maintenance and improvement. In our villa, some sections of the wooden flooring were slightly raised and may need attention for safety and comfort. The parking area is also quite steep, which can feel a little challenging, although the staff were helpful and could assist with parking arrangements. For families with older children, one thing to consider is that the shower area does not have much privacy or a proper screen, so this may be more suitable for couples or families with younger children. Despite these small points, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. The spacious villa, relaxing atmosphere, friendly service and convenient access to the beach made our experience very enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay, and we would be happy to return in the future. 💛"

"The room was very spacious and clean, with a large balcony. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with a bottle of chilled sparkling wine and dessert. The front desk staff spoke Chinese and were exceptionally friendly every month. When cleaning the room, they even replaced the ice in the ice bucket. Every afternoon, small snacks were delivered. One day, I returned to a cleaned room, but I had messed up the bed. During the short time I went out for dinner, the staff who delivered snacks also tidied up the room again and re-made the bed – fantastic! The views at Silavadee Resort are truly amazing, and the pool water is exceptionally clean. As soon as we got to the pool, staff immediately brought us iced lemonade, which was a lovely touch. The hotel breakfast was fantastic, offering both Western buffet and a la carte options, and everything tasted delicious. I especially loved the a la carte lobster rolls and fried rice; the lobster rolls had large chunks of lobster meat, and I easily had at least two every day, haha. All drinks were made to order, including various coffees, teas, and other beverages. Of course, there were also fresh juices at the buffet. The only minor drawback is that it's a bit far from the main road, but everything else was perfect. Our child had a great time and said they want to stay at Silavadee again next time we visit Koh Samui."

"1. **Check-in** We were greeted with welcome drinks, and all the services available during our stay were thoroughly explained. After check-in, we were taken to our room by golf cart. 2. **Location** There's not much around, but they offer scooter rentals and a shuttle bus service. The shuttle bus goes to two night market areas, but it doesn't run very frequently. It was convenient for tours as the pier for ferries to Koh Tao was only about a 10-minute drive away. 3. **Room** The room was very clean and spacious, and the ocean view was absolutely stunning. The desk, closet, vanity, and refrigerator were all generously sized, making our stay completely stress-free. 4. **Bathroom** The bathroom was very clean, with excellent water pressure and temperature. Having two showerheads was very convenient, allowing two people to shower simultaneously. Amenities were also readily available by requesting them at the front desk. 5. **Facilities & Services** The hotel offers so many facilities and services that we couldn't even use them all during our stay. The gym was impressive for a hotel gym, equipped with 30kg dumbbells, a Smith machine, and 25kg/20kg plates, making it suitable for serious workouts. We had breakfast at the restaurant, which was an à la carte buffet, and every dish was delicious. We also dined there one evening; the food was excellent, and the prices were comparable to restaurants in town. The pool was under renovation for most of our stay, so we only got to use it on the last day, but it was a beautiful pool with a great atmosphere. 6. **Other** All the staff members were kind and attentive, and it felt like they effectively shared guest information among themselves. I fell ill during my stay and felt bad for inconveniencing the hotel, but the next day, every staff member I encountered asked if I was okay. I was extremely satisfied with both the facilities and services, and I would definitely love to stay here again if I visit Koh Samui in the future. I would confidently recommend this hotel to anyone I know visiting Koh Samui. The only minor drawback I could mention is the significant elevation changes within the property, which might be a bit inconvenient for those with mobility issues."

"Great location in Chaweng and a beautiful beach right in front of the hotel. The room was clean, although quite small considering we had booked a deluxe room. The sea was also quite shallow, which made swimming less convenient. The main downside was the noise, as we could clearly hear people in the hallway and in neighboring rooms. The restaurant was okay, nothing exceptional but still decent. There were also no sun loungers available on the beach. Overall, the stay was average. The location is a real advantage, but the small room, noise, and a few other details kept the experience from being better."

"Excellent Stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui! We drove all the way from Bangkok, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The concierge team promptly assisted with our luggage and parked our car, making our arrival completely seamless. The lobby and check-in area are absolutely stunning, overlooking the beautiful Koh Samui coastline. It is one of the best places to enjoy a breathtaking sunset. We were assigned Room 503, which was very spacious and thoughtfully designed. The privacy compartment doors made it ideal for families, and the sofa bed was surprisingly large and comfortable—perfect for our 19-year-old son. Pros: - A beautiful private beach with complimentary kayaking. While it may not be the best beach for swimming, it is perfect for relaxing and enjoying water activities. - The buggy service was incredibly fast and efficient. Every driver was friendly, cheerful, and always ready to take us anywhere around the resort within minutes. - Outstanding hospitality and guest service. Every staff member made us feel genuinely welcome. A special thank you to Mr. Ruben for taking such great care of us throughout our stay. - The concierge team did an excellent job arranging our private long-tail boat tour. We had a wonderful day visiting Pig Island, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and enjoying the beauty of Koh Samui. Everything was organized perfectly. - The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious options. The bacon and pastries were among the best we've had, and a special thank you to Mr. Ping for serving us the sweetest, most delicious mangoes every morning. - Our housekeeping attendant, Mr. Renu from Myanmar, was exceptionally polite, friendly, and professional. He kept our room spotless every day, and his attention to detail made our stay even more comfortable. During check-out, I had a pleasant conversation with Bernice, the Director of Rooms from Malaysia. Our chat about Malaysian food brought back wonderful memories and was a lovely way to end our stay. Three nights simply were not enough at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui. This is the kind of resort where you should stay for at least one week to fully enjoy everything it has to offer. Unfortunately, I didn't even have enough time to experience the gym, which looked excellent. Only one small suggestion: the breakfast seating area can get a little warm during the morning. Of course, that's part of the tropical outdoor atmosphere—almost like a natural sauna—but a few more cooling fans would make the experience even more comfortable. Overall, we completely fell in love with The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui. The breathtaking scenery, luxurious accommodations, impeccable service, and warm hospitality from every member of the team made this an unforgettable vacation. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a truly world-class stay in Koh Samui."

"My friends and I were so pleasantly surprised! It's such an artistic spot right by the sea, tucked away and completely quiet. The sand is incredibly fine, the waves are gentle, and swimming in the ocean first thing in the morning was just heavenly! There are restaurants everywhere right outside, and it's super close to Central Samui, which is incredibly convenient! A perfect vacation!"

"The hotel, grounds, and restaurant are very beautiful. We stayed for a day for a photo shoot before heading home. The photos turned out beautifully. We had a villa with a garden view, and both the interior and terrace were very cozy. However, there are some caveats: bring your own water to avoid going to the store; it's not very close, and four bottles are not enough because you should never buy tap water. The swimming beach is dirty; you have to walk a considerable distance or take a taxi to a good beach. For those who enjoy a pool, the pool area is wonderful and atmospheric. The air conditioning blew onto the bed and was very noisy, so we only slept comfortably with the fans on. The service and staff were excellent, and the atmosphere was welcoming throughout."
