NunuThe hotel's overall environment is great, perfect for a vacation, and the room privacy is excellent, very comfortable. The drinks at the restaurant are also delicious, and you can see many giant clams and fish on the beach right outside. The only downside is that the chlorine in the swimming pool is too strong! My child's body, inner thighs, and neck all broke out in rashes. My child swims frequently, and we've never encountered this at previous hotels. Even my friend developed scattered red rashes after swimming for just half an hour.

Guest UserPros:
The hotel features an all-wood design, and the ocean-view rooms offer a truly pleasant experience with stunning sea views and the sound of the waves.
I'd expected the bedding in the room to be damp, but to my surprise, it was dry and fluffy.
The hotel restaurant: The dining environment is spacious and comfortable, with a pergola and tatami seating right on the beach. The chef's culinary skills are excellent, with both presentation and taste being perfect.
Both hotel and restaurant staff are incredibly polite and friendly.
Right next to the hotel is their company's pier for guest transfers. The hotel provides free shuttle service, boat rides, and luggage handling, making island access and departure very convenient, hassle-free, and effortless.
Cons:
The hotel offers paid laundry service, but there's no self-service laundromat.
The nearest 24-hour self-service laundromat on the island is a bit far.

ZiruoqiaoI've stayed on both the south and north sides of the island, and the advantages of Sacaya are clearly evident. Firstly, it's very close to the main street and 7-Eleven, making shopping, dining, and renting a scooter incredibly convenient, all within a few minutes' walk. Secondly, there are three pools: the leisure village resort pool and the beachfront pool, all perfect for a swim. Thirdly, it's very, very close to the beach. When I first booked, I couldn't tell the different room locations, but the bungalows and deluxe rooms seem to be the closest to the sea. Of course, it also depends on the angle; there are more reefs near the 'Love Tree' area and a long sandy beach near the bar/restaurant. Fourthly, there's a daily fire show and boat pick-up/drop-off service. Fifthly, the breakfast buffet offers a good variety. The service staff and the security guards across the street were all very friendly, smiling, and welcoming.

Guest UserThe taxi from the pier cost 250 baht. The beach right in front of the hotel is fantastic, and the male attendant who manages the towels was really good – he's the reason I gave the last 100 baht as a tip. His enthusiasm also led us to book a night squid fishing trip for 9 people.
However, all the staff here seem to have two different attitudes: one for Western guests and another for Chinese guests. While everyone else managed basic politeness, the female server in the restaurant (pictured in photo 2) was incredibly rude to us. This is my fifth time vacationing in Thailand, and I've also traveled to the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, the Maldives, and Hamilton Island, but this is honestly the first time I've encountered a staff member so rude. She pointed her finger at me and loudly demanded that I push the water bottle from the middle of the table to against the wall. I was completely stunned.
Upon check-in, they asked for 500 baht per night for an extra bed for our 6-year-old. Since the three of us could comfortably share the king-sized bed, we declined and only paid for the child's breakfast, which was 200 baht per day.
One evening, we also encountered teenagers on the beach who were indiscriminately bullying kids playing there. I never even saw something like this in Australia, yet it happened on Koh Samet. Thankfully, my English speaking skills are decent, and after a big argument, he ended up yelling that he was going to call the police.
Overall, I still wouldn't recommend booking a hotel here. The pricing attracts a certain type of clientele, and since there are many very cheap hotels nearby, the beach attracts all sorts of tourists.

This is definitely one of the top resorts on the island. You can snorkel right off the beach in front and see so many fish, though the price is quite high. Getting to the main street isn't very convenient; you'll need the front desk to call a car for you. But the scenery makes up for everything! It's truly a perfect getaway.

Anonymous UserThis hotel has very clear pros and cons.
1. We booked a beach house, so as soon as we opened the door, we had direct access to the beach and the sea, which was super convenient for playing.
2. Although it's not a rocky beach, it's a resort cluster, so the people there are mostly staying nearby. This means it's not too crowded, offering more privacy, and there are a lot of European and American tourists.
3. The downsides are quite critical though. Our room was close to the beach and made of wood, so there were a lot of ants. Even with bug spray, it was no use, and we got bitten many times.
4. The location is also a major drawback; it's really far from the pier, and we couldn't rent a motorbike, making it very inconvenient to go out. We had to rely on the shops along the beach for anything we wanted to buy. It's not ideal if you want to explore the island.

The accommodation was quiet and had a great atmosphere. All the staff were lovely. When there was an issue with the room, they immediately changed it for us. Very impressed! 🥰

Guest UserWe loved everything!
The grounds aren't huge, but they're green and there's a pool. Breakfasts are tasty and varied: every day there's toast, scrambled eggs, coffee, omelets made to order, several kinds of fruit, and hot dishes that change daily.
The staff are very welcoming and friendly.
The bungalows are a bit old and small inside, but they have everything you need. There was an issue with the air conditioning, which was fixed very quickly. The only thing is the shower water was only lukewarm (or maybe we couldn't figure out how to adjust it). The Wi-Fi was decent, flying in the morning but slower in the evening.
And the main thing is that the hotel is located on a stunning beach. It's peaceful here, but not boring, with cafes, a small shop, and fire shows. The hotel provides sun loungers.
The taxi stand is behind the hotel, so getting around is easy, or you can walk and explore different beaches.
If we go to Samet again, we'll choose this hotel again, partly because of the beach.

Guest UserThe staff at the front desk were lovely. They spoke politely, gave good recommendations, and were always smiling. The kitchen staff were also very kind and provided excellent service. The hotel has comprehensive facilities, is easy to get to, close to everything, and safe. The hotel also offers motorcycle rentals, which I recommend arranging directly with them for convenience. I was very impressed! 💗✨🙏🏻

Guest UserSmall island, max. 2 nights booking. Beautiful views nearby. The hotel itself offers good service but there weren't many people staying there. You can eat at the hotel, but at other restaurants, there are people trying to attract customers, whereas at the hotel, there's no one. The food prices are also higher than at other restaurants.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
