Hidden away from the island's busier area and offering a private beach, Larissa Samed resort features comfortable rooms, a garden and free WiFi access.

It is a short stroll from Sai Kaew Beach, as well as various restaurants, bars and a 24-hour convenience store. The island's main pier is a 5-minute ride away.

In short, everything. The staff are all very kind and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location is great--peaceful and quiet, save for the obnoxious snorkel tour boats that tie up off the beach and blare extremely loud music for no reason, which is no fault of the property.

An island getaway awaits at Ao Cho Grand View Resort in Ko Samed, a 2-hour 30-minute drive from Bangkok. Surrounded by sand and sea, it offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property.

With warm lighting and cosy furnishings, rooms at Ao Cho Grand View feature a semi-outdoor bathroom and cable TV. A daybed provides comfort and views of the tropical scenery.

The beach was quiet and lovely and the property felt safe and welcoming. The location felt authentic and all the staff were very friendly, attentive and kind. I felt like I was part of a nice community. The breakfast was very very good and the food at the hotel restaurant was incredible. Best curries and som tam I've had in Thailand hands down!!! There are some stray animals walking around the beach area (dogs and kittens) so if you don't like animals you might not like that.

Boasting an outdoor pool and a lively pool bar, Stellars Samed Resort is set amidst tropical landscapes in Ko Samed. It is about 10 minutes walk from Haad Sai Kaew and 20 minutes from Silver Sand Pub. This resort offers cosy rooms with stylish furniture and décor. During the stay, guests have access to free WiFi.

The staff were amazing and made it really welcoming, we ended up extending our stay an extra 2 nights. The rooms were great and the pool was lush! Perfect location for venturing around the island. Wish the pool bar was open but it didn't affect the stay at all. For the price it's well worth it.

    Excellent stay with my family. We had 3 rooms next to each other and they were so beautiful. Bathrooms are exceptional with so many ,lovely details. The beds were comfy and the rooms were tastefully decorated. The balconies were gorgeous with lovely trees giving lots of shade. we stayed a row back from the beach but this was actually way more private. We will be back. Breakfast was a buffet style and really varied and healthy. The Reef bar was great and had such a good menu with thai/ western options at a good price point.

    We didn’t eat at the hotel as we were only there for one night. Location of the hotel is right on the beachfront with a little bar and bungalows for accommodation. Views were stunning and only a short 15/20 min stroll from the pier. Minnie the owner and her husband were lovely !

    Very nice room with a very good bed. The bathroom should be renovated. But great for a short stay as the location is excellent. It is a very small boutique hotel. I felt very well. 3 nights on the small island of Koh Samet are enough to see everything. Beaches are very beautiful, the water is crystal clear, the sand is snow white and Ao Wai Beach, located a little south, can be reached in 15 minutes by scooter, in my opinion it can compete with the best beaches in Thailand and I've been almost everywhere

    Location is perfect for all beaches and resort bars and restaurants. Rooms are great design and comfortable beds, air con is very efficient. The walk to the rooms is a bit dreary but the interiors make up for this.
