Wyndham Garden Samui Wing

Wyndham Garden Samui Wing

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Wyndham was wonderful. Special shoutout to Nammon for being exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. The hotel's location is right at the border of Boput and Chaweng, making both of these areas, beaches, night markets easily accessible. The staff helped us arrange for scooty rental right at the hotel. It was so convenient and priced reasonably. The pool was well maintained. The gym was decently equipped and I enjoyed doing a couple of workouts there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Helped us plan our itinerary, book boat tours and what not. Would love to stay here again for my next trip to Samui."

"We were given a room upgrade on arrival to one of the 2 bedroom villas with private pool. The room was lovely, clean, well appointed and comfortable and the pool was amazing. Whilst it is not a new resort, it is well maintained and clean and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The beach bar happy hour entertainment was also good fun! The resort is also far enough away from the centre of Chaweng town to retain some calmness, although it's only a short walk and still very accessible."

The hotel is located on the beach, great way to start the day by having breakfast looking out to the beach then enjoying a swim after. The room I stayed in is clean and very quiet, overlooking the garden. Great mix of lush green garden and beach. The staff were friendly and helpful.

8/10 Good
"Positives: 1) Location is good, next to high end properties. 2) the layout of the hotel is really nice, with lots of greenery, nice lobby and amenities, and spacious rooms. 3) The staff were very helpful and friendly. Responded well to calls and requests. 4) the breakfast is amazing. Lots of high quality items. They have healthy and gluten free options too. Negatives: 1) Whilst Location is good, it has nothing within walkable distance. Others were closer to the shopping areas. You can hear flights over the resort. 2) We were supposed to get 2 single beds for our boys, but got one sofa bed for 2, which wasn't a comfortable one. 3) the AC in the living room wasn't cooling. We had the technicians visiting twice but didn't really fix the issue. 4) the swimming beach is poorly maintained. We hit rocks and sea plants everywhere. No guests could swim. 5) the gym is average. Not a 5* resort standard."
