Top Koh Samui Hotel Reviews

OZO Chaweng Samui

10/10 Excellent

"I love to come back. Good location, family oriented."

Al's Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel was acceptable but I was looking for more for the price. I felt the rooms were lacking in privacy. The rooms big glass doors all open onto a thoroughfare. So you had to close your curtains all the time to avoid people looking in as they walked by. So basically a room with no window. The bathroom was pretty basic and small. The room was fairly spacious. It was safe and quiet at night and the hotel well located in Chaweng beach area. Transport by public transport vans readily available. The pool was not as inviting as the pictures and smallish for a large resort. Access to beach was good and a pretty area. Breakfast was okay to good but could have been better. I would probably look elsewhere next visit. But overall an okay stay."

Chaweng Garden Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Right in the centre of town, restaurants, shops, bars. Enter the resort and you’re immediately a million miles away in sand, garden, peace and quiet. Pool right on the beach front, deck chairs on the beach sand. Some light music noise from next doors beach club however slept with a smile every night. 10 out of 10."

Melati Beach Resort & Spa

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."

Silavadee Pool Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful. The staff is awesome. The facilities and location are great. I would highly recommend it. The one thing to think about is getting off the property for lunch and dinner. The food available in the restaurants for lunch and for dinner, while tasty, is much higher in price without being better than you can get from any number of restaurants within 30 minutes. It was good, but I would get off campus for more meals if I come back. Everything else was completely top not."

Sheraton Samui Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 12-day stay at this hotel with my two daughters. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every member of the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help with anything we needed. They truly made us feel welcome and took great care of us throughout our stay. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere, and thanks to the amazing staff, we created many beautiful family memories here. The only small thing I missed was a regular handheld shower. The bathtub only had a faucet, and the shower cabin had only a rainfall showerhead. Having a handheld shower would have made things much easier, especially when traveling with children. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and we would be happy to stay here again. Thank you to the entire team for your wonderful hospitality!"
