Elysia Boutique Resort

It is heaven on earth! The organic Green Light Cafe attached to the hotel is superb, this is the best place on Koh Samui!! Pool, staff, room and food all get 5* from me.

What a great find! I had such a wonderful time here. I booked one night while I waited on Samui for my flight the next day, mostly because of the incredible food menu (I am Coeliac so sourcing Gluten Free food is the top of my list). The lovely owners and wonderful staff made my stay such a pleasure! I made the most of the free meditation that happens every mooring at 7am which was a great start to my travel day. You can follow that with Yoga too. It's a great place to relax by the pool if you want to recoup mid travel. I felt totally comfortable here as a lone female traveller. The lovely owner Patrick joined me as I ate breakfast (which was delicious!) and I got to know how the space was created which made the stay feel even more personal. Great clean room, super comfortable bed, a quick 10 minute drive to the airport and Pralaen Pier and really friendly staff (special shout out to Carol the Manager). Also worth a shout out is the incredible food which has been created by a certified Nutritionist. The menu caters for both Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegan, but also caters for meat eaters which is a rare find and highly appreciated!! If you pass through Samui, you have to visit the cafe at the very least, but I recommend that you stay and soak in the chilled, friendly vibes here. Thanks guys - I'll be back, see you soon! Mel x

That I couldn't stay for a couple of nights longer.

Very intimate and quiet. The food is amazing. We had 3 diner there and started each morning with yoga onsite.

Bathroom is worn out and small

Excellent location in the heart of the pedestrian area of bophut, 2 minutes walk from the beach and the shops. Conveniently slightly remote from busy louder nightlife. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the room very comfy and nicely decorated. Meals at the greenlight cafe in the hotel were the highlights of our day: delicious organic and healthy dishes. Their yellow curry was the best we had in Thailand. All affordable. The pool was just big enough, and had a jet stream area and was surrounded by beautiful gardens. A real oasis of calm in an otherwise very touristy island. Would highly recommend Bophut and this hotel.

Yoga classes dispensed by the hotel are advanced only, some beginners classes would be great. One of the student filmed / live-streamed the session on social media without asking other students permissions which felt disrespectful and intrusive. Not in line with the yoga mentality either. I wish the teacher would have stopped her. The shower head in our bathroom could use a replacement.
