    Nothing... It's heaven

    It's heaven on earth... Beautiful villas exceptional staff who catered to all our needs and extra requests.. suchs as cake for Birthday's and engagements and helped us arrange activities... and catered for my celiac wife. KYN is a beautiful relaxed island and Sam Sam in our opinion is the perfect place to enjoy it. The villas are exceptional, tasteful and artistic and the facilities are also exceptional. The nature that's surrounds you while you enjoy your stay in these beautiful villas is magical.. On one hand I hope this hotel gets the recognition it deserves but on the other I don't so I can keep it to myself.. It's a slice of heaven and we will treasure our stay for a lifetime... Well until we come back 😀

    There was nothing we didn't like!

    This hotel was beautiful - very peaceful and laid back location, and the hotel itself was decorated to a very high standard. It felt luxurious - quiet, private, and totally exceeding our expectations!

    Some rooms have better views than others, choose accordingly

    I cannot recommend this place enough. Secluded in complete peace on the hillside of the island. You are surrounded by jungle and birds yet still close to the main road, restaurants and beach. An oasis with lovely pool, views, wellness spaces and breakfast. But most importantly the staff (especially the general manager sasha, nan and jiang) who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during all our stay.

    Just an amazing place where the staff organise everything for you
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Villa with Private Pool
    • Stayed 3 nights

    If you are a party animal, this is not the place to be (even the island). This is more of an untouched island that you can visit in scooter or explore by boats your surroundings. Apart from the oustanding quality of the resort's restaurant, the rest of the island is pretty basic (but good)

    The place (we rent a house with a private swimming pool) is just amazing: the view on the sea, the decoration with beautiful pieces of arts, the staff. If once in your life you would like to feel like a millionaire this is the place to go. Of course this place is not cheap but once in your life time why not.

    We had a wonderfull stay at SamSam Restort and loved everything. The staff was very kind and Pooky helped us with everything we needed (boat, scooter, transport to and from hotel). The room was very clean, big and well decorated. We would definetely come back and can highly recommend staying here. Thanks again Pooky.

    Sam Sam is a hidden gem with amazing apartments and villas and lovely staff!

    Unfortunately the pool was under renovation due to refurbishment during our stay but to accommodate this they allowed us access to one of the villa pools which was just as large and accommodating.

    My partner and I had an amazing 6 day stay at Sam Sam. The resort is nestled on a hill in the most beautiful location and the architecture is stunning. Since there are limited villas and apartments it is very quiet and relaxing. Our room was very large with beautiful art and the team cleaned it every day at our preferred time. The breakfast each morning was lovely with a selection of local and American/European breakfast options. Pooky and the rest of the team at Sam Sam were available at all times to answer any of our questions including booking tours, navigating the area or questions about the villa. They always greeted us with a smile and we felt very taken care of the entire duration of the stay. The island itself was magical and we spent the majority of the trip exploring it via scooter. The food at the local restaurants was also exceptional and both the locals and expats living there were so friendly and welcoming. Overall, I think Sam Sam is a hidden gem and we definitely plan to stay there again on our next trip to the island. Highly, highly recommend!

    it’s obviously not on the beach but that wasn’t a problem as it’s a short walk and the pool is lovely. there isn’t a restaurant on site (they do room service but you have to order in advance and we were too late for it).

    the rooms and hotel are really stylishly decorated. the staff were also so accommodating - they picked us up from the ferry and also drove us to our next stay. I also left my bag in their car and they returned it really quickly- so great service!

    Everything was great.

    Sam Sam is a superb resort on a great island. The suite we were in was huge with very high ceiling and very comfortable beds. The staff was super helpful, arranging complimentary pick up from the pier and transfer to our next hotel. We could use free bikes to cycle around the island and rent motorbikes too. We wish we had stayed for longer!
