Koh Samet hotellia

Plussat: Impeccable service, delicious food, outstanding room, wide range of activities, and beyond expectation

Plussat: Staff are very very friendly. Food is very good. Beach is very clean. Rooms are fantastic. Private beach. Great view. Tranquil. All 100%

Miinukset: Zero

Plussat: Lovely thatched beach-side chalets. Excellent staff. Beautiful beach location, with soft sand.

Miinukset: Seemed a bit expensive for Thailand - but we haven’t any previous experience of beach resorts in Thailand.

Plussat: The beach was beautiful and we almost always had it to ourselves. Travelling into the hotel by boat, we saw many locations with very crowded beaches, but the beach at this location was clear and empty most of our visit. Having our own pool at our room was also a treat and worth the cost. The breakfast buffet each morning had everything we needed. There was a cook for omelettes, bacon and other meats, fruit and deli meat/cheese choices, etc... All very good! The staff here also tend to you constantly, very nice! When we traveled to dinner, they picked us up in a golf cart. When we sat in the beach chairs they showed up with a bucket of ice and water bottles. They have scheduled hours for bringing fruit, ice cream, and afternoon tea to guests. The person I was travelling with had a birthday during our trip and the hotel showed up with a birthday cake for her. Wonderful service!

Plussat: The beach is unbeatable, it is almost like a private beach. The team is really professional and make their best effort to ensure your comfort. Nice layout of room. The food is good, especially the seafood buffet with fire show, worth to try.

Miinukset: We stayed in room 109 next to the main pool, it is convenient as we have kids with us, yet lack of privacy if it is for couple.

Plussat: We went there for just a two nights stay for our Honeymoon! We love how friendly and efficient the staffs were. They made us feel very welcomed even from the start. I like it that they were considerate as we are muslims so they try to provide us with muslim friendly food (no meat/no alcohol). The room we stayed in was marvelous, we were welcomed with our chosen essential oil, choice of drinks, our chosen natural soap bars and soft music. I love how that there are freebies during the stay, like the welcome drink, the 1pm fruits, 2pm ice creams and the 3-5pm tea time! The general manager was very nice too! Thank you GM Pornthep Hantrakarnpong and also one of the staffs, Jel! Their food is also amazing!

Miinukset: There were bunch of lizards and ants, but what to expect, it’s their natural habitat after all heheh

Plussat: nice environment Nice complimentary fruits and afternoon tea Great beach and water activities

Miinukset: Bad attitude staff in the lounge of ao Prao pier Not so good housekeeping Far from the groceries

Plussat: The location, the sunsets, the beach and most of all the really friendly and attentive staff.

Miinukset: Nothing really. It was just a perfect short holiday for us. Exactly what we were looking for!

Plussat: Perfect resort, chic and luxury hotel, with amazing bay, swimming pool, excellent staff. clean rooms, it s paradise. 1 minute from your room to the beach!

Miinukset: The resort uses a lot of single use plastic items. so close to the sea, bamboo instead of plastic and washable instead of disposable would be appreciated. It s a shame to see so much plastic (laundry bags, water bottles, toiletries). The resort should give reusable flasks to all the guests and propose a drinking water source available all day.

Plussat: I liked everything about the Ao Prao resort, from the check in service on the pier, the speed boat trip to the secluded beach, the warm welcome, the food, the staff, the beautiful room, the pools, to the gorgeous beach and incredible views. I traveled around the island and visited some other resorts and none of the ones I saw came close in comparison to Ao Prao resort. I would highly recommend this resort to any and every body, whether it's a family holiday or a beautiful romantic getaway. I truly would love to come back if ever the opportunity arose again. I would like to thank all the staff for a wonderful and truly memorable experience.

Miinukset: The only negative feedback I have is that the water in the shower was not hot enough. I could still enjoy a shower with the warmish water, but it would have been better if temperature could be increased.

Plussat: Very good clean hotel. Staff brilliant and beach spotless. Food amazing and all at a fair price all round brilliant 3 nights stay

Plussat: Perfect getaway for a couple, a bit like a honeymoon. Good to get a taxi into town for a more local experience. Didn’t use Spa as prices too high.

Miinukset: Beach and pool fabulous

Plussat: The everything is perfect.

Plussat: Food is amazing. Beautiful views allover. Staff is great.

Miinukset: Everything is amazing except the distance to the rest of the island. However renting a bike or taking taxi resolves this.

Plussat: It's one of the nicest places and among the best beaches you will find in the whole of Thailand.

Plussat: + clean + comfortable + quiet private beach +very nice resort complex

Miinukset: -Too low shower pressure in bath :-( -Fresh fruits at breakfast should be stored cool ( watermelon isnt tasty when it has same temperature as the outside temperature 32° C)

Plussat: Good, not great.

Miinukset: Service could be improved in terms of courtesy. Smiling helps.

Plussat: Private Beach, cozy and quiet.

Miinukset: at buzz restaurant, expensive food.

Plussat: Service Beach We were there in the rainy season in Thailand but the rain was not a problem stop us enjoyed Aowprow bay, the beach was peaceful and beautiful. More than the other thing we have appreciated the service from all the staff there. This resort is more than 4 stars.

Plussat: Lovely property. Great food at Buzz

Miinukset: Inconsistent staff quality.

Plussat: Wonderful scenery, helpful staff, well equipped property, Loved it.

Miinukset: Another direct boat later in the day or evening would be helpful. I missed the last one and it took a while to get to the hotel using alternative transportation (as they warned me it would).

Miinukset: The beach was filled with trash

Plussat: Location Privacy Beach Pool Breakfast

Miinukset: Food besides breakfast - both Italian and Thai restaurants served very average overpriced fare

Plussat: Loistava sijainti täydellisellä rannalla. Siisti ja jopa aika luksushenkinen paikka. Hyvä aamiainen. Uima-allas lähellä rantaa. Tilavat ja ylelliset mökit. Sijaitsee omassa rauhallisessa poukamassa, jossa vain muutama hotelli/resortti.

Plussat: Located at the most beautiful beach of the island

Miinukset: My room seemed to be of an older generation than the ones on the fotos

Plussat: -Breakfast is good. -The hotel is located next to the pier.

Miinukset: -Limited time for bike rental -Wifi connection is weak in the room

Plussat: The room is big with beautiful view. The restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful in explaining the details of the food and drinks. Very quiet area and relaxing. SOME of the front desk staff are friendly. Just 3 minutes walk from hotel to the pier. The room rate included the boat shuttle service

Miinukset: Still seeing some big pieces of rubbish and dog dung near the beach which make us dont feel good if walk on the beach barefooted.

Plussat: Perfect for 2-3 night stay Quiet location Not too far from 7-11 Very close to the pier

Miinukset: -

Plussat: A private beach

Plussat: A very nice small hotel with an excellent restaurant. Clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff. We would definitely visit again.

Plussat: Location was great.

Miinukset: Aircon was SO SO loud. Tried another room and same problem. Spent every night turning A/C on and off to try and get some rest. Staff do not speak English meaning ordering breakfast preferences was impossible.

Miinukset: A little far from main beach/restuarant areas. But this means nice and quiet. Beach is okay.

Plussat: The beds were great and so was the service

Miinukset: The breakfast could’ve had better variety

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: We were here for a wedding. Staff are amazing. Great value for money and really cool little bungalows. They are dated and need updating but for the price, you get what you pay for. We enjoyed our stay here and the wedding was absolutely stunning.

Miinukset: Beds are quite uncomfortable as it is a mattress on the floor. Shower constantly backed up and there was no hot water. Luke warm. Location wasn't too bad if you want quiet. Pool bar isn't used and timber deck around pool very damaged. Lots of mozzies.

Plussat: Good location. Good restaurants. Delicious seafood and not expensive.

Miinukset: A staff didn't told any details about boat. We have to check everything by ourselves. If compare with other hotel this hotel isn't good service for me. A little bit dangerous with suddenly deep sea because of short beach. This is not hotel fault but not have any warning signs from hotel. A breakfast just few of food. :(

Plussat: The room was amazing, very spacious and comfortable, outside area overlooking the beach. We were upgraded a sea views room but the garden view rooms looked great too. Breakfast was excellent, interesting Thai options. Staff were friendly and helpful, we rented a moped from them, which was a brilliant way to get around. Would stay again.

Miinukset: Not the nicest beach on the island but the location at the far end of I away from the port was probably the best of that beach. Some local information in the rooms would be helpful.

Plussat: It was the perfect place . I was with my girlfriend. I was in heaven. Paradise .Happy daze. Great

Miinukset: ????

Plussat: Hotellialue on vehreä ja siisti. Uima-altaalla on pieni allasbaari, josta voi ostaa virvokkeita. Altaalla erilliset allaspyyhkeet. Aamupalaksi voi itse valita paahtoleipää marmeladilla, muroja, hedelmiä ja mehua. Lisäksi annetaan menu josta voi valita esim. amerikkalaisen aamupalan. Kahvi pyydetään tarjoilijalta ja se tulee automaatista. Hotellin ravintolan ruoat ovat hyviä ja maittavia, joskin hintataso on luonnollisesti kalliimpi kuin keskustan ravintoloissa. Bungalowissa saippuaa, hammasharja/tahnaa sekä shamppoota. Huoneet ovat siistejä. Hotelli on hyvin rauhallinen, koska se sijaitsee n. 2 km päässä Sametin "keskustasta". Mopolla pääsee kuitenkin muutamassa minuutissa keskustan alueelle, jos kaipaa vilkkaampaa iltaelämää. Hotellilla kaksi ilmaista venekuljetusta Ban Phe:n satamaan päivässä eli klo 12.00 ja 15.00.

Miinukset: Hotelli on hieman syrjässä, mutta sen vuoksi toki rauhallinen. ("keskustaan n. 2 km/ taksi 200 bht). Olisin toivonut hintaan nähden laadukkaampaa aamupalaa, jossa voi itse valita mitä/ kuinka paljon mitäkin ottaa. Hotelli itäpuolella, joten aurinko paistaa keskipäivällä ja painuu rannalla noin klo 14 selän taakse, joten tämä hotelli ei varsinaisesti ole auringon ottajan paratiisi. Ranta oli myös kovin tuulinen. Hotellihuoneessa ei ole tallelokeroa. Hotellilla on tarjolla hierontaa, mutta hinta on kaksin, jopa kolminkertainen verrattuna muualle (60 min hieronta/ 600 bht). Tosin ylihinnoittelu on hotellien palveluihin tyypillistä.. Hotellin lähellä ei ole juuri mitään muita palveluita, muutama paikallisten suosima ravintola.

Plussat: We loved the location and that it's way more quiet than other places on the island. The hotel is well maintained and also Instagram worthy ;) The rooms are spacious and clean and we felt very comfortable.

Miinukset: The staff is really friendly and they're absolutely doing their best, but communication was a bit difficult. I know that one can't expect everyone to speak perfect English, but maybe at least at the reception, it should be better. Maybe some written information in the room about wifi, shuttle, activities etc. would help to improve communication, so you don't have to aks about little everything. Also, the menu in the restaurant should contain important ingredients like meat. It's not a nice surprise if you order a shrimp dish and it comes with ham.

Plussat: The garden area is quite nice and the beach section is great for peace and quiet, and for kids. The pool is good too, but only for adults or older kids. The free ferry to and from the island is a great touch and very handy.

Miinukset: For the price we paid in low season, 2,700 baht for a cottage, we got a semi detached one, but was expecting a detached, we thought this was a bit expensive for what we got. The room was quite small with no chairs for sitting, and the mattress was on the floor with little space. For a family of 3 this was quite cramped. The pool didn’t have a kids shallower end, but this is not necessarily the resort’s fault, but made it hard for my 2 year old kid to enjoy it unaccompanied. The breakfast was way too basic for what we paid, even when we came down with over an hour left before it finished, some things were not replenished. So, it’s not a buffet as such, because you need to order the American style set.

Plussat: Ystävällinen palvelu, riittävän monipuolinen aamupala ja ilmaiset kuljetukset.

Miinukset: Kovat sängyt, moskiitot jotka pääsivät joka paikasta sisälle huoneeseen..ja saaren sotkuisuus.. Samed club oli siisti poikkeus.

Miinukset: That the reception closes at 11h pm

Plussat: Really nice place to stay on Samed island. We chose it because of free transfer from Ban Phe, and it was very convenient and very well organized. The breakfast was very good as well as lunches served in the restaurant. We enjoyed our stay.

Plussat: The staff were fantastic especially Min Aung who went out of he’s way to help with anything we needed. Also the pick up and drop off system to the property was really easy.

Miinukset: The location is a little far from the action but this could also be considered a positive.

Plussat: The service was exceptional.

Plussat: Beach is clean and beautiful.

Miinukset: Can’t snockling in front of resort.

Plussat: Accommodation.

Plussat: Very Convenient, free shuttle boat and land transfer to hotel. Friendly staff.Quiet samdy beach

Miinukset: Mosquito in room

Plussat: They were great, staff, beach, quiet location.

Plussat: Service and staffs are the only great things.

Miinukset: Location is not as good as its price. I paid for 3,600 thb/night for the resort locates beside the beach but it’s sharp rock beach that you cannot go to swim or sunbathe. Even they allow you to walk from the resort to Sai-Kaew beach through Sai-Kaew resort but it comes with tons of regulation that deny to use any beach facilities. Another thing is breakfast, it’s just a la cart that you can order only one menu and if you order Thai breakfast, forget about any bread, toast or egg as you have to pay for it. Just only simple salad (lettuce, tomato, and onion with 2 nasty sauces) and coffee that you can refill. These are all what I paid 3,600 THB/ night for !!

Plussat: Helpfull staff. Lovely white houses in a beautiful garden.

Miinukset: Not very lively

Plussat: This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

Miinukset: Got to the property and expected a white sand beach with use of a swimming pool. When we arrived the property has no white sanded beaches, only rock. Could not swim in the ocean here! Ok, we thought we will just use the swimming pool, no big deal. When we arrived at the pool there was a security guard who immediately started yelling at me for putting my toe in the pool, thought this was very strange! At this point we all went and put our bathing suits on for a swim in the pool. Eight of us came back to the pool, my 15 year old son and the rest of our family. As we started to enter the pool, this same security guard stated that we could not swim in the pool with board shorts and regular swim wear, which I have used through the world. We were told rudely that the men had to use European swim wear. Speedo type swimwear and bikinis for the girls. So basically we were banned from using the swimming pool. This property does not have their own pool they share a pool with another resort next-door. It felt like there was some kind of feud going on between the two property and we got caught in the middle. The staff at the desk keep giving us the runaround about a refund, as we had book this nightmare hotel for 3 nights. Finally after hours of talking to the manager at the property they gave us a telephone number in Bangkok to help us cancel the reservation. Booking.com tried to contact this number and was given the runaround by the staff in Bangkok. Finally after a few hours and a lot of fighting the hotel agree to give us all our money back expcept for the use of 1 room for the night. The price was around $90 a night. Would also like to mention that all the other hotels were charging around 200 baht for a massage, this hotel was charging around 2000 baht if I remember correctly. Very pricey for hotel with no beach, no pool, and nothing to do here. All the white sanded beaches are on the other side of the island!

Plussat: Great location and grindly helpgul stagf. Would recommend!

Plussat: The staff were nice

Plussat: Great location. Deco is kinda funky and the bungalows are really clean. Beach view bungalows are perfect. The restaurant offers a great view on the sea This place is on the sea...even if no direct access to the beach its still beautifull

Miinukset: Breakfast is very simple with very small plate of watermelon in a country where you would expect papaya pineapple in larger quantity..feel like a hostel breakfast... Price is way to high for the level of service provided..should be priced like a 5* hostel

Plussat: Everything was great, the rooms were stunning

Miinukset: Shower head was average

Plussat: Minnie English is very good, and she is friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: Water pressure was terrible and hot water didn't work half the time.

Plussat: Big enough. An oven and microwave can be used. Three bathrooms are very useful. Great location.

Miinukset: The bath water is a bit small.

Plussat: Nice quite place. Friendly owner. Everything you need is in walking distance

Miinukset: The place is nice but the island is boring. Only relax at the beach is possible. That’s why we leave after 3 days

Plussat: Mark the owner was great. The entire facility was immaculate. Easy access to everything.

Plussat: Quiet clean with new furniture and super fast wi fi

Miinukset: Air con is not strong and a bit far from the beach

Plussat: Puhdas huone, päivittäinen siivous. Omistajat ystävällisiä. Rauhallinen paikka. Lähin ranta n. 8 minuutin kävelymatkan päässä. Erittäin miellyttävä huone verraten maksamaamme summaan huoneesta.

Plussat: I really liked the place! It has a big bed, a tv, a mini fridge, kitchen utensils and a sink ..Perfect!. The bathroom was nice as well. They also cleaned everyday, made the bed and gave us clean towels ♡ I liked the location because it is in the center of the town :) they were very nice!!!♡

Plussat: We really liked the comfortable, clean and cosy rooms. We really felt at home in baan Minnie. The rooms were cleaned everyday. The location is between the beach and the pier.

Plussat: The private beach is really awesome, plus they have some kayaks that you can use for free. At night there is a fore show!

Miinukset: It is a nice gate away for relaxing...there is so much action at night

Plussat: Huoneisto oli siisti ja avara, rauhallinen sijainti kauniilla merinäköalalla. Viehättävä piilopaikka pariskunnalle. Ranta mukavan rauhallinen ja siisti.

Plussat: Privacy

Miinukset: No exhauste in toilet.

Plussat: The Breakfast was okay! The resort is in nice area quiet and nice beach infront of the resort, and the resort is offering a Kayak for free.

Miinukset: The price of the food and Drinks in the restaurant was quiet expensive

Plussat: Rauhallinen sijainti ja helppo lähteä lähirannoille. Siisti ymäristö ja huoneet, joissa ilmaistointi toimi erinomaisesti. Hyvä aamiainen ja wifi toimi melko hyvin. Oma ranta jossa sai rantatuolin ja -varjon ilmaiseksi. Hierontapaikka myös resortin alueella ja sekin erinomainen. Kauppa ihan vieressä ja pankkiautomaatti (ATM) lähellä, samoin taksiasema.

Miinukset: Söimme illallista ravintolassa kerran ja se oli pienoinen pettymys. Muuten palveluita oli niukasti mutta vieressä oli useita eri toimijoita, joilta sai kaiken tarpeellisen (esim. kanootin) vuokrattua tai ostettua.

Miinukset: So many things to list

Plussat: Lovely beach and accommodation also very good. Staff courteous and were helpful when needed.

Miinukset: Nothing really. I would go back and would recommend it to others

Plussat: Ok hotelli.Huono aamiainen

Plussat: Location and accomodation are excellent. Breakfast was a little disappointing but the evening meals are superb

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Very quiet beach and not at all overcrowded. Nice to relax. Nice scenery.

Miinukset: I found the resturant a bit pricey compared to other places around so did not use them. A bit far from the main attractions and markets. I think the green taxis are bulky and overpriced. The Baht200 paid for the park could be used better to keep the place clean. It does not help if the locals just throws the rubbish in the bushes outside of the public view.

Plussat: Siistiä oli, henkilökunta on ystävällistä. Huone siisti. Positiivista se, ettei saarella myydä muovipusseja, siis kestokassi mukaan

Miinukset: Turistipaikalle tyypilliseen tapaan aurinkototuolit varattuina pyyhkeillä jo heti aamusta...

Plussat: The beach was beautiful, the staff were friendly and gave great service, facilities were clean all made an idyllic setting for some rest and relaxation :)

Miinukset: The kettle was difficult to make work and the hairdryer didn’t seem to work at all but it didn’t really matter too much.

Plussat: thd breakfast was good. the pool nice. and most important just close to the sea....

Miinukset: i expected a little bit more for the Prince. i staid in a thai village it was nice - but itd too expensive. maybe the complete island is.

Plussat: good & quiet location with private beach, friendly service, nice to travel here with family.

Miinukset: breakfast should have more selection.

Plussat: Right on the beach, two bookings combined so did not need to swap rooms

Miinukset: If anything could be better, breakfast is standard

Plussat: Close to everything

Miinukset: Staff need lesson in how to handle and speak to guests

Plussat: Stunning views

Miinukset: Amazing all the way perfect place to stay and I'm fussy . breakfast was a bit hot or miss but would go back and stay again love this place so much xx

Plussat: Ranta on ko sametin parhaita (uintiin ja miljöön puolesta). Hiekka on kuin perunajauhoa. Bungalowi oli siisti ja viihtyisä. Kaikki toimi hienosti vaikka oltiin lowseasonin aikaan kesä-heinäkuun vaihteessa. Ei kaikkein vilkkain ranta, mutta ei mikään kuollutkaan.

Miinukset: Olisi voinut paremmin infota, että kuljetus ban phe pieriltä hotellin rantaan ja pois päin kuuluu yöpymisen hintaan ja hotellin palveluun.

Plussat: Hotelli vähän vanhahtava, mutta oikein mukava! Aamupala hyvä. Ilmainen kyyti mantereelle ilahdutti myös. Löytyy myös uima-allas (kylläkin aika roskainen), jos meressä killuminen kyllästyttää.

Plussat: Very nice location right on the beach.

Plussat: Henkilökunta puutarhureita myöten hymyileviä ja ystävällisiä. Aamiainen oli monipuolinen. Sain olla rauhassa uloskirjautumiseen saakka. Hyvin opastettu ja asiakkaat huomioitu ohjaus ja avustaminen venekuljetukseen alusta loppuun saakka.

Miinukset: Tämä ei suoranaisesti ole hotellin vika, mutta hotellirannan laituri ei ole missään nimessä turvallinen iäkkäimmille henkilöille. Laituri aaltoilee enemmän ja vähemmän merenkäynnistä johtuen. Sitten, kun piti hypätä heiluvalta laiturilta matalareunaiseen veneeseen, eikä mistään voinut tukea ottaa, oli vaikeaa. Toki, pojat auttoivat parhaansa mukaan.

Plussat: Siistiä, ystävällistä ja olivat jatkuvasti pitämässä paikat puhtaana. Ruoka hyvää aamiaisella ja illalla rantahiekalla illallinen oli myös hyvää.

Plussat: Rauhallinen ranta verrattuna lähempänä satamaa oleviin rantoihin. Rannalla Vondeguan ja naapurin C-Samet Resort ”omistavat” yli puolet rannasta, joten pakosta jää rauhallisemmaksi jatkossakin. Mukava henkilökunta. Majoituimme 8 yötä Thaitalo 4:ssa, mukava majapaikka kaikin puolin. Ei oikein löydy valitettavaa vierailusta.

Plussat: This resort will suit you if you are after peace and quiet. Restaurant - inexpensive and delicious Tom Yum and Pad Thai with seafood. Beach - clean beach, soft sand, no rocks in the water in the swimming zone. Cottage - clean and comfortable. Location - the resort provides FREE transfer from Rayong. Staff - helpful and friendly. *All the fun bars are on a different beach. You can walk there (30 min), rent a scooter or hail a tuk-tuk. *Breakfast buffet has 2 types of food - Asian and western. Western one doesn't change (eggs, sausage, waffles, fresh veggies). Asian dishes change everyday. *You can rent a kayak at the resort, have a massage on the beach or book a boat tour. For other fun activities go to another beach. *There are a few friendly cats you can play with.

Miinukset: I wish the cottage room had more shelves to put belongings on. Also, it would be great to have 2 types of curtains in the room - heavy one for the night and thin one for the day.

Plussat: Unique location, access to the sea on two sides. Great place for snorkeling, kayaking and walking. Remoteness from the bulk of hotels is a big plus. Privacy.

Miinukset: The cottages are very modest. Everything is very simple. Minimalism. Slow wifi and does not catch everywhere.

Plussat: Beautiful spot. Amazing views. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: The breakfast isn’t great - most of the food is cold despite the warming basins. The coffee is atrocious. But this is the only drawback.

Plussat: Food was super nice. We booked this property because we used to visit the restaurant and loved it. The beach was beautiful. Staff are well-trained and helpful.

Miinukset: No wi-fi in the room. Credit card spending subjected to 3% charge.

Plussat: This place is great if you're after a peaceful getaway. It's very relaxing and tranquil, set in lovely grounds . It is quite remote, so I usually hire a scooter at the port when I arrive (about 300 TB/day), otherwise you have to rely on the island 'taxi service' (hop on/hop off covered trucks that periodically circuit the island - quite expensive and less than reliable). The resort is quiet, with a pretty beach - perfect for romantic couples or single travelers wanting to unwind . The bungalows have been recently refurbished and are very good. The buffet breakfast is good, with a selection of Thai and 'Western' foods.

Miinukset: The beach is small and pretty to look at and sit on, but the sea itself is not great for swimming - it's only knee-deep, with rocks and sharp coral underfoot. But there are plenty of other beaches nearby if swimming is your thing.

Plussat: reasonable with the price. and nice place relaxing romantic.

Plussat: Alueen rauhasta ja tunnelmasta.

Miinukset: Olisin kaivannut tietoa alueen aktiviteeteista.

Plussat: Very relaxing and quiet. Evening Menu very good and not expensive. Chilled out hippy atmosphere. Weather beaten huts. Staff helpful. It wasn’t busy.

Miinukset: It’s right at the far end of the island. 6km from the main port. We got a speedboat which was not cheap but very quick. We paid 300baht round trip for 5 pax. As we were only there 3 days we didn’t bother going anywhere else. but if you are going for longer you might be bored. They play the same music every night although they didn’t mind me taking over as DJ after a few drinks. Apparently the taxis are expensive to go to the port. The breakfast is ok and as many others have said the coffee is not very nice but this was not a huge deal for us.

Plussat: Todella rauhallinen paikka, kauniita kukkia, meri, hiekkaranta, keinuja ja riippumattoja rannalla, kivat huoneet, oma terassi meren äärellä

Miinukset: Uimaranta ei paras mahdollinen, merenpohjassa hiekkaa mutta myös kiviä

Plussat: Nothing there was nothing

Miinukset: There was nothing to be like

Plussat: The location, cottage, and atmosphere was perfect. The lunch and dinner was amazing.

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet needs improvement. The breakfast was often cold.

Plussat: Very nice and quite place to relax! The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff was very helpful and friendly, the food and drinks was also very good and cheap.

Miinukset: Only the beach is not so clean and has too many stones and some sharp edges or glas. But with shoes is no problem.

Plussat: Very tranquil, beautiful and family orientated. Menu was extensive, quality good and overall well priced. The ability to rent fishing rods with bait from the hotel as well as snorkelling and kayaks were good options.

Miinukset: The downsides the staff were not very attentive and orders had to be continually repeated in English and Thai. The wi-fi was extremely poor and very much needs upgrading.

Plussat: amazing garden at inside court

Miinukset: a little bit noisy at night from by close to shore

Plussat: Very green, nice bungalows, and above all very very nice staff. A good place to relax in the green when you are tired of the beach.

Miinukset: Breakfast in morning (same for everybody) especially coffee

Plussat: Room cleaning and generator staff was friendly and helping, also good room cleaning. Plus generator is the only person with decent English qualification.

Miinukset: The lady in charge of the place gave us absolutely no moment of peace with applying excessive psychological pressure with house rules which are over rated for a holiday place. For example motorbike parking area is skipped with few meters, there is yelling and fuss...same goes if you don't comply with other rules such as hair dryer to be returned on time, the crucial deposit on the first day that also bleeds out your local currency balance. There is a long list. Also they dont give assistance about the island, for example we asked about renting bicycle, they told us was not available on the island but we found it next door. Language skills very poor. Internet connection very poor, can hardly open email. Breakfast very limited, nothing like the pictures. Excessive mosquitoes and lady asks you to supply for your own-self. The closest convenience store is a huge tourist scam, they charge five times the value (such rip off!!)yet the hotel does nothing about it even though they are fully aware. All the support/services are called off once you are one day away from leaving; for example we got no toilet paper, drinking water and soap and similar on the last day.

Plussat: Tranquility, privacy, not crowded

Miinukset: -The water sppuly was so stinky, like a mud, and so rusty smelt, even though it was clear water, I don't know why was that. -Quite a bit disappointed about the complimentary, there were just 2 bottles of water, 2 tiny shampoos, and 2 tiny bars of soap. No toothbrush, no coffee, no tea available in the room for 3,500THB/ night

Plussat: Attention to detail in visioning and executing the project

Miinukset: Need more conveniences like hiring scooters, snacks etc.

Plussat: It has a very relaxed atmosphere. As it is not located directly on the beach, but within a close walking distance, you are located in an area that looks and feels like a lush, well maintained garden.

Miinukset: The breakfast and coffee. The breakfast is what they decide to make, we had a club sandwich and the coffee is Nescafe with powdered milk.

Plussat: The place is very quiet unlike the popular and crowded Sai Kaew. Although the resort is not right on the beach, we enjoy the peace and tranquility of the environment amid lush and well-maintained garden. The beach is a short 3 minute walk away to the nearest option. The breakfast is good and they are generous with the fruits. The owner and her daughter are very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The toilet isn’t exactly very clean. We get insects crawling out from the toilet trap every night. I think the room will be perfect if the toilet can be given an overhaul.

Plussat: Location is very good as it is on the beach. Breakfast is ok and always found something. Nice little pool area for children.

Miinukset: TV no safe or coffee in room do not get a room at the top of resort (D13, D14) to many steps and no view.

Plussat: Rauhallinen kiva tunnelma pääosin. Auringonlasku oli makee, hyvä ranta, jossa ilmaisia aurinottotuoleja riittävästi. Runsas hyvä aamiainen kuului huonehintaan. Vastaanoton virkailija järjesti taksin ja varmisti laivakuljetukseni aikataulun. Siisti huone ja leveä hyvä sänky. Sopii parhaiten parin kolmen päivän oleskeluun ja rauhoittumiseeen.

Miinukset: Huoneet ovat rinteessä, joihin paljon huonoja rappusia. Huoneessa ei wifiä, huono kuva huonossa pienessä televisiossa. Pieni hyvä uima-allas, joka oli useimmiten tännä lapsia isoine ilmapatjoineen ja - leluineen. Alueella ei ole kauppaa.

Plussat: Aivan mahtava paikka upea auringonlasku näkyi meidän huoneesta ja altaalta joka ilta! Todella rauhallinen ranta skootteritkaan ei sallittuja alueella ja vain muutamia hotelleja rannalla. Aamupala oli ok ei loistava.

Miinukset: Huone oli hiukan vanhentunut ja sänky aika kova.

Plussat: view good

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Place right on the beach, so that was nice. Very quiet, no traffic noise or dogs. Rooms were clean as were bedding and towels, with comimentary shower gel and shampoo.

Miinukset: This place is very remote and could not drive up to the place, had to park motorbike up the top of hill and walk down or get taxi. Once therr, had to climb many concrete steps to get to the room, so no good if you are not agile or can't walk far, because there is a lot of walking and awkward steps, which could be a hazard to less agile people. The food prices were a little expensive, but then there is nowhere else to eat, so no choice but to pay unless you get a taxi into the villages. The building was old and in need of upgrading in many areas. The staff were helpful and polite.

Plussat: The location is good.

Miinukset: But, for the price (and I had already been in others hotels with similar price or less) the breakfast wasn’t very good. The bread is not good. And, there is not a lot choice ..

Plussat: Hotel part is nice staff was very good and helpful

Miinukset: The restaurant is only 1 from 10 point; food is over price, they give us used paper straw for the cocktail which we order 3 cocktails and all come with used straw and lipstick stain on it. the service was poor

Plussat: Excellent location on the beach and close to the restaurants and bars, (not many but they are ok) Hotel is clean and nice.

Miinukset: Breakfast is ok, but tends to be more for the Asian taste than western style.

Plussat: Room was nice and clean, staff was friendly

Miinukset: Restaurant is not good, expensive and bad food. Price for room was high in low season and many chinese people

Plussat: Great location and service. We enjoy our stay there. Delicious food and friendly staffs.

Miinukset: we ordered ice with glass and then we got a glass with some lipstick on it... the dishes and glass they serve not that clean we have to check it first every time. The room cannot block the sound from outside we can hear noise from the other guests.

Plussat: quick and easy check in and check out

Plussat: Staff was helpful and polite.. It was a nice buffet breakfast. Have a lots of variety foods to eat.. nice view from the hotel restaurant..

Miinukset: We stay at the old building at the hotel.Room was small and our room was close to staff facilities room so you can hear them talking and shouted too.We got a lots of mosquito in the room.

Miinukset: Uima - allas puuttuu, ja aurinkotuolit.

Miinukset: Hyttyset kävivät kimppuun iltaisin.

Plussat: Vanha, kulahtanut, en suosittele, oikea luokitus 2 tähteä.

Miinukset: Kuvat kuin toisesta paikasta, arvosana 5,5.

Plussat: The people in the recipion are friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The safety box could be opened by another six digit numbers. As they informed us that only 3 people in the recipion know about that but still not secured.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Staff

Plussat: Nice big duplex, with a very comfy king bed

Miinukset: There wasn’t a pool. The breakfast had a great variety, however the fruit and vegetables were left uncovered and there were a lot of tiny fruit flies. There was a lack of communication from the staff with regards to the return speedboat from the island, even though I had emailed well in advance and confirmed on check-in. It would have been helpful to be advised that you have to pay 200baht when you arrive on the island (a fee as the island is a national park)

Plussat: Nice room Nice breakfast

Miinukset: Shower very cold Smell from outside get into the room No food at lunch

Plussat: Food, indoor swimming pool

Miinukset: Staff

Plussat: Aamupala oli ihan hyvä

Miinukset: Huoneistomme sijaitsi pohjakerroksessa jossa haisi homeelle.

Plussat: Monipuolinen aamiainen ja oma uima-allas.

Miinukset: Henkilökunnan englannin kielen vähäinen taito vaikeutti asiointia. Odotin henkilökunnan palveluasenteelta enemmän, usein jäi vaikutelma, että heitä vaivataan.

Plussat: Hotelli on parin minuutin kävelyn päästä Ao Phain rannasta. Ranta oli rauhallinen , siisti ja vesi kirkas. Muutama ravintola ja kauppa lähellä. Aurinkotuolit rannalla 60 bath/päivä. Samed Pavilion Resortin aamupala ok. Hotellissa ei ollut varsinaista ravintolaa joten lounastimme usein naapurissa olevan Samed Villa ravintolassa jossa ruoka oli mielestämme tosi hyvä ja kohtuuhintaista. Sai Kaew ranta on kävelymatkan päässä. Kyseinen ranta oli täynnä turistiryhmiä ja veneitä- tosi levoton. Kävelimme usein iltaisin Sai Kaew rantaa pitkin syömään "keskustaan". Sinne kulki myös lavatakseja. Syömässä kannattaa ehdottomasti käydä ravintolassa nimeltään Banana Bar. Aivan mahtavaa thai-ruokaa ja edullista.

Miinukset: Kohde ei ole halvemmasta päästä. Aamiainen oli pääasiassa ok mutta ruokien kimpussa pörräsi paljon kärpäsiä joita sai hätyytellä pois. Hotellin uima-allas pieni ja vesi samea. Ei houkutellut uimaan. Huone siivottiin myöhään iltapäivällä, usein vasta kun itse tulimme rannalta. Wifi huono.

Plussat: The family garden atmosphere and swimming pool. Great buffet breakfasts and comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: No restaurant available nor coffee available by pool. The pillows were too new and high for my own comfort.

Plussat: The pool and modern living design of the room and hotel

Miinukset: Construction noise was worse than stated, noisy, very loud, Garden work also being carried out was intrusive to holiday peace

Plussat: Location and breakfast are great

Plussat: Nice entrance and nice room(family connection room) Location is great.

Miinukset: The pool is renovating.

Plussat: Uima-allas oli hyvä, tosin allasalue melko pieni. Hyvä aamiainen. Kävelymatka rannasta omaa ramppia pitkin.

Miinukset: Ensimmäiset saamamme pohjakerroksessa olleet huoneet haisivat homeelle. Seurueessamme on allergikkoja joten pyysimme huoneen vaihtoa joka sujuikin mallikkaasti ja hotellin henkilökunta siirsi tavaramme. Allas-alue oli melko kompakti ja aurinkotuoleista tulikin välillä pulaa.

Plussat: Kaikesta/everything. Runsas aamiainen. Hyvä sijainti.

Miinukset: Yhteinen terassi naapurihuoneen kanssa. Ei kyllä haitannut meitä, koska siinä ei ollut asukkaita. Näköala uima-altaalle.

Plussat: Hotellialue tosi kaunis, huoneet siistejä ja tyylikkäitä, uima-allas toimiva, myös lapsille sopiva. Ranta ja ravintoloita ihan lähellä. Siivous joka päivä. Puhtaat pyyhkeet ja uudet vesipullot joka päivä. Muutenkin ensiluokkaista palvelua. Aamiainen hyvä.

Miinukset: Suihkusta tuli joko ihan kylmää tai ihan kuumaa vettä. Wi-Fi ei ollut kovin hyvä.
