Good place, especially because it was cheap. It was comfortable but very dark, so better carry your phone. The room was very humid, of course, is because it is in the middle of the vegetation.

Tiny Oasis All to Myself
I booked this room because I needed a place to stay before I flew out of Koh Samui. When I pulled up I felt like it was kind of in the middle of no where. I had to grab cash and the gir l in the lobby said I could walk into town in 10 mins, so I checked it out and sure enough it was just a short walk to everything. My room was perfectly fine. For $20, I expected something pretty awful. I actually loved the bathroom/shower situation. I pretty much also had the entire place to myself, which was actually kind of nice. I woke up early and swam before my flight. I bought breakfast and had it in less than 10 mins. They ordered a cab for me and even though she said "20 mins" it came in probably 5 mins and I was at the airport in 10-15 mins. I'm guessing she misunderstood my question.

Wouldn't stay here again
Not a great stay, the hotel didn't have my booking (probably hotels.com's fault) so I was put in any old room - mould in the bathroom, all kinds of bugs in the room and my bed. Absolutely no lights from the reception to my room at night so it was pitch black, extremely unsafe as its rickety wooden walkways to get there - luckily I had the torch on my iPhone. Location is too far out, had to walk down dark roads which stray dogs barked at me on, so didn't feel safe again - the hotel really wasn't worth the risk of rabies.

Not As Advertised
I booked this hotel for a 3-day getaway on Samui. Because I was supposed to be traveling alone, I wanted a place that offered a restaurant and spa services, in addition to the requisite wifi. When a friend decided to join me, I requested a room with 2 beds. This request was confirmed by email from the hotel. When we arrived, they only had a room with 1 bed. Instead of an extra roll-away bed, or even an extra blanket, they gave us a sheet. The room had a small amount of shampoo, but no soap. When we informed the front desk of this, they went to notify housekeeping, but soap did not appear until the next day when we changed rooms. The on-site spa and restaurant were also non-existent, having been torn down. The in-room wifi had been discontinued and service was only offered in the lobby. Through it all, the staff was unapologetic, unfriendly, unaccommodating; likely because of having so many guests who were not getting what they expected.

Great peaceful option for a loud area
Beautiful room (I stayed in deluxe cabin overlooking the pool), most comfortable bed I had in Thailand! Dvd player in room so was able to chill with movies at night (I was travelling solo). The pool is surrounded by trees which makes the water lovely and soft, really nice to swim in. Room cleaned daily. A glaring error in the description though - there is NO bar or restaurant. They serve a light breakfast but that's it. Also, the spa was nowhere to be seen. The staff are coldly polite. Location-wise it's far away enough from the main Fisherman's Village area to be very very quiet and peaceful but close enough to easily walk it. It's 10 minutes walk max to the busy area.

Nice hotel!
Paid around NZD 130 for our 4 nights staying in this hotel. So cheap! Basic breakfast was also included. It's around 8 mins walk to the main road and 15 mins walk to Fisherman's Village. We rent a moped so getting around was easy!

Nice complex
Super comfy and spacious room!The complex was lovely but the pool was never cleaned and it was soo dark and scary at night we needed a flash light every night we were going back to our room. Also, the neighborhood was not great, no signs for the hotel, full of homeless dogs.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in
Worst hotel I've ever been in. Terrible condition, many things broken or not working, staff doesn't care at all. Terribly soiled curtains, old stained linens, insects and lizards everywhere. Sink is just an on/off water tap with no hot water, filthy mold-filled bathroom. Old ancient CRT TV, no wifi in room despite hotel listing saying it comes with free wi-fi as well as flat screen TV and DVD player. Hotel listing also says free toiletries but that consisted of just an old shampoo pump dispenser. Entire property looks run-down and almost abandoned. Staff unfriendly and unhelpful.

Tranquill place
I enjoyed my stay at Sundays Resort. It is a very relaxing place. Lovely pool with shade if you want it or sun. Though I was a bit perturbed by the animals living in the roof space of my bungalow. I was told they were squirrels.

Value Hotel
The rooms are basic but adequate, bed comfortable and air conditioning effective. Polished concrete is the theme of the decor. A bit of refurbishment may be in order.

Fine For Just A One Night Stay
I was happy that after an hour delayed flight that my transfer to the hotel was still there waiting for me. The place was clean and tidy and the staff were nice. I arrived at night time and there were no lights on the walk up to my room which involved a lot of steps carrying a suitcase. Nice service, clean and simple accommodation, but not somewhere I would choose to stay long term.

Not ideal
Taxi from airport is v expensive (500 baht) and driver looked for a tip. Hotel is 10 min walk from fishermans village - out of the way. We arrived late at night and enquired about getting ferry to koh tao the next day - receptionist could not give any advice nor would she book for us. Room is big but is not comfortable, all concrete. Breakfast was average. Would recommend staying elsewhere on the island and closer to mae nam pier if getting lomprayah to koh tao or phangan.

good value for a basic stay
overall a great stay at the sundays for a basic stay. however a few pointers - the pool was extremely unpleasing as it was always dirty and seemed to not have a filter. the spa area was lovely, very relaxing and the spa staff were excellent. reception staff on the other hand were very useless in terms of answering any general tourist questions. don't be fooled by the "restaurant" section on their website, there is no restaurant and they certainly do not specialize in thai food; they have a mediocre breakfast menu. good location - main street is a few minutes walk away, taxis and buses are easily accessible from here. fishermans village and bo phut beach is super close too.

Nice hotel, lack of facilities
Very spacious room and comfortable bed, could have been cleaned a little better but apart from that the room was great. The 'restaurant specialising in thai food' described on the website did not exist, they only served western snacks until 5pm. The hotel is a 10min walk from the beach and main area of town which was fine, but they don't warn you about the lack of footpaths or the busy road where taxi drivers constantly beep you- apparently nobody walks here! Nice hotel if you want peace and quiet and a bit better value for money than being on the beach front

Stop over
We used this hotel as a stop over on our way to koh samui... This was perfect for what we needed.. Breakfast was a mixture of dishes some of which were what I consider to be evening meals but all the same very nice and plenty available. There is a Tesco supermarket over the road which came in very handy in stocking up and getting a good meal in the evening.

The resort is pretty. Lots of plants and flowers. Pool was clean. Cute little place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. 10min walk to the fishermen village. Down the street is not the cleanest of neighborhoods. Also room had mold in the bathroom. Room only cost $18 a night so we just stayed. Not too bad.

Beautiful and relaxing stay
Hotel is beautiful and very relaxing as many trees surrounding the hotel. Location is alright but recommended to rent a car or bike. Staff are helpful and friendly. However, the hotel is lack of light and there is 5 min walk to the main road. Along the road to main road is dark at night. Overall, with the price I am satisfied with my stay and I will go back to this hotel in future.

Great place to relax
Sunday's was just what we needed after trekking in Nepal. We had a great time here doing absolutely nothing! The value for money is excellent and the hotel has a beautiful garden. I would highly recommend it if you want to just chill out. The in house movie channel is great and there are DVDs to watch. We also tried the spa which was very nice. The breakfast was simple but good and my husband enjoyed the muesli very much. It is a 5 minute walk from Fisherman's Village which is a low key and pleasant row of restaurants. Definitely visit the Friday night food market there. It would be nice if the hotel rented bicycles as well as motorbikes - better for the environment.

Good for the Low Price
If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay in Samui that's not directly on the beach, this is a good enough choice. The staff was nice. However, they failed to pick us up at the airport, despite having made a reservation. The real disappointment was that there is no restaurant or bar at the hotel, even though there is one prominently displayed on the hotel's website. There are a few very good local restaurants within a ten minute walk of the hotel. In the end, we wound up leaving this hotel early because we wanted a more service and comfort. We should probably have foregone this hotel and just done something posher from the beginning.

It worked
This hotel has a lot of potential. I asked about food since they had menus but I was told to go into town. The spa is insanely over priced for Thailand. The rooms were spacious and interesting, but smelled like sitting water. The property is very pretty and very quiet. It has a pool. I would say it is okay for one night.

Awesome landscaping and pool!
Hotel is in the slower, more quiet part of Koh Samui but there are a lot of nice restaurants and a few shops in Bo Phut and the beach is nice. The hotel is off the beaten path a bit but not too far. Wouldn't want to walk there at night though. The room was cute but of course the pictures make it look more luxurious than the place really is. It's still a good buy for the money. Breakfast is not included and the choice is very limited. The bathroom is kind of cool in that it is open air so it's like being outdoors. There were some spider webs and leaves around because of this however. Not a big deal at all but don't even think about using the bath tub! It's a big dirty concrete bowl. Overall the stay was nice and I took some really nice pictures in the little cabin and around the grounds. You feel like you're really out in the jungle, farther from town than you really are. For some reason the wifi on my iphone didn't work here but another persons was so who knows why. It's only available in the lobby though, not the rooms. They can set up tours and taxis but you can get them much cheaper on your own.

Mysigt nära naturen med skrämmande badkar.
Bra mottagande vid ankomst. Frukost serveras fram till 10:00 med 2 olika alternativ, inte jättegott tyvärr, men helt ok. Fint rum med bra AC, dock ganska skrämmande badrum med mycket krypande insekter och larver. Badkaret skulle jag aldrig satt en fot i. Vår säng var tvådelad men det löste dom när vi sa till, dock med ett större lakan endast. Egen altan med stolar och bord samt kaffebryggare på rummet så man kunde ta sin morgonkaffe på rummet om så önskades. Taxichaufförer på ön verkar inte riktigt veta var "Sunday Sanctuary" ligger så man får visa vägen. Gick dock bra att boka taxi från hotellet.
