    Awsome hotel, restaurant need improvment

    The restaurant at the hotel was not comfterble becase it is very small and all tables are really close to each other. We set down waiting for the food for 30 minits. Aftrer that i asked the server whay are we waiting like that just for the first corses .. The answer was that they are waiting for the cook to come back. First off all if there is no one to cook whay did you take an order? Second thing is why did you take an order without teling us we are going to wait a long time for the food.

    This hotel was a surprise for us. The picthers on the website were not good enagh to show how much better the hotel is . The room we took was a bit better then the firs on they have to offer, that was an amasing choice for us. If i will go back to kho samui i will go back there and i sugest to anyone that wants a realy good hotel to do the same .

    I have no complaints but one suggestion is that the breakfast should be more varied with more choices. But it's just a minor detail.

    The Boutique Resort is very well equipped. The location is optimal. The staff is very available and pleasant, giving solutions to every kind of inconvenience such as booking ferries or renting a motorcycle. The views are exceptional. The pool is ideal for cooling off after a day of hiking. The restaurant is of high quality during lunch and dinner. Farewell to our stay with champagne free of charge.

    Manager (?) was very pushy trying to get us to book a table at the restaurant. We were asked several times in one day! It was a bit much.

    Lovely beach side location with choice of loungers or bean bags. 2 bedroom suite was massive! Great for a family. Staff super friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast. Lots of lovely touches in the rooms - beach bags, slippers, flip flops etc

    The hotel needs a serious restructuring. It is quite old, doors do not close properly and there is definitely a waste of energy, air conditioning doesn't work properly (in one of the rooms we has ice spilling out during the night) and one of the rooms had a terrible mold smell.

    The position was excellent, right on a stunning beach. Personell was very polite and responsive

    Serene, Calm, But could have been better

    • Stayed 5 nights

    The property is in a slightly run down condition. Clearly Post covid not too much attention has been paid to it. We had taken a 3 bedroom presidential villa. But the AC in one of the rooms never worked. After complaining for 2 days, they tried to fix it by filling gas, but then the room was impossible to stay in because of the smell of the gas. Ideally, they should have upgraded us it at the first instance but they didnt. But i have to add, that on the last day, when we really raised the issue, the manager came in and did apologise and refunded one night and also gave us a few freebies. But the discomfort caused for 5 nights was just not called for.

    The location is good. The thought behind the villas is bang on and maybe that is why it won awards pre-covid. Right on the beach, not too many people around, so there is a lot of peace and calm.

    It's not a dislike, just an observation. There is nothing around the hotel if you like going to different bars. Didn't bother us as its a short taxi ride to fisherman village

    The location was perfect, with direct access to the beach. Hotel was quiet due to the time of year, which was perfect to relax. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Peter, who works in bar/restaurant. We initially booked in for 4 days and ended up staying for 12 days. Paddleboard kayak and bike free to use by the guests, which is a nice touch. Would hopefully like to return and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting koh samui. Missing sitting on that beach with those views and sunsets already.

    We booked the room specifically for the spa bath. When we arrived home late at night, we attempted to fill it up. After waiting 40 mins the water was still only about 20cm high and was now completely cold. It would have taken over 3 hours to fill it and there was no hot water after 10 mins. We pressed the spa button and a terrible smell came out from the holes and then all the water in the bath had that same bad smell. We gave up and tried to shower instead but by now absolutely zero hot water I told reception in the morning and she just said she would tell the engineer. At check out we had to pay 180b for drinks we had and I asked if could be free as compensation for the bath. She said no and if I didn't pay it she would have to pay it herself. I didn't want her to do that so I paid, but she really had no training in handling complaints. The breakfast was disappointing for this quality of hotel, small chopped up mixed fruit, no fruit platter to choose your own. Coffee was terrible, we had to give a lesson on how to make an Americano because they just press a button on a machine and so much water in the cup

    Excellent housekeepers, went to great effort to put anniversary decorations on the bed. Room was really big and very comfortable Pool is nice and beach is quiet

    The room didn’t have a balcony and though it was an sea view, the sea was only visible from far. The swimming pool was too small and the beach transats were not comfortable plus they were on a slope. The beach in front of the hotel is not the best and it had seaweeds. I never swam there. The majority of the staff were nice and helpful while others were rude and inexperienced. It was at times hard to communicate with them in english.

    The room was spacious and nice (it included a kitchen and a living room with tv).

    note the location is without money for transport or a bike/car horrible. the beach is small and the beachfront of the hotel doesn’t look great, also everything closes down at 22:00 I stayed at Koh Samui in Resorts were you could sit at the beach till midnight or later if you promised to put your drinks on a tray and fold your towels. since the room is big some areas are not really clean or broken. The Bath was clean and modern you need to consider the hotel is focused on villas not individual rooms

    the property was spacious, a huge bathtub was available. activities were provided but looked like they weren’t used that often. ability to connect with television but this doesn’t worked at my case. I got a bike from the hotel the rental was straight forward. also the staff is friendly and there are a few activities kinds under 12 may enjoy. I would not come back as a solo traveler but only stayed 4 nights. room cleaning did. a good job. the safe is no really safe it didn’t work and I was able to crack it myself in under 10min also it does not fit a 13” Notebook.

    There seemed to be an issue with the pool jets at one stage but that was quickly fixed by the diligent and friendly staff.

    The staff were so friendly, the location and accommodation was perfect. It was peaceful but close enough to get to beautiful swimming and sight seeing spots, and only a short taxi ride to get to temples, other towns and beaches. It was great.
