Koh Samet Hotels with Pools

"The location is pretty good, just a 5-minute walk to Saikaew Beach. The hotel bar and pool are beautiful. This time, I stayed on the third floor, but there was no elevator, or at least I wasn't aware of one because the staff told me to just take the stairs from this side. If you're traveling with elderly people who have knee problems, climbing the stairs might be difficult. Inside the room, the air conditioning wasn't very cool; it only blew air. The hairdryer was broken, but when I informed the staff, they immediately brought a brand-new one, which I really appreciated! The towels had a slight odor, and the bathroom also had a stale smell. I wish they had some kind of air freshener or essential oil to make the room smell nicer and feel fresher. The bathroom only provides shampoo and shower gel; there's no toothbrush or toothpaste. Perhaps you have to ask the staff for them, but usually, at other hotels I've stayed at, these items are provided without asking. Breakfast is served until 10 AM. Personally, the food wasn't anything to rave about, but the staff were lovely and welcoming."

"The hotel is quite new and located on the northernmost tip of Koh Samed. Pros: New facilities, pleasant environment, good service. When I stepped on a sea urchin, the front desk staff helped me out immediately. The hotel has two swimming pools and isn't too crowded. Cons: WiFi signal is poor. The shower water temperature control is an issue – it's either scorching hot or ice cold, with no in-between. The beach near the hotel has many sea urchins underwater and rough sand, making it less suitable for snorkeling than other beaches. There's a place called Smile Samed right next to the hotel where you can rent motorbikes and paddleboards. Their food portions are generous and affordable, offering good value for money."
