Am Samui Palace

Free upgrade to pool room was unexpected but I had a great spot, quiet and relaxing stay with barely anyone by the pools throughout my week long stay. Fitness room was basic but more than ample for a beginner getting back into it like myself. Room service was there if needed as was pool bar, housekeeping were very efficient and as an early riser my room was almost always cleaned by 9.30am. Breakfast buffet good selection but if staying a while not much changed from day to day.

Staff weren’t really interested in talking to any of the guests, which for my previous trips to Thailand was very unusual - but I was alone I didn’t mind the peace and quiet, but when 4 staff are standing around while you’re eggs are ready and you have to ask them to politely move out of the way so you can get them not the best service.

The private pool was the highlight as well as the location we were near really nice bars and restaurants.

We would see ants infested on the outdoor sofa which means we couldn’t make the most of the outdoor lounge area. As well as random ants in the room on the shelves. We also found it strange there was a room constantly open every time of the day and we asked the reception about this and they didn’t seem to know why, we are guessing it was due to construction. The cocktails from the pool bar were a bit disappointing.
