Pinnacle Samui Resort

excellent value for money! right on the beach (the sand is perfectly fine and the water is great for swimming - not sure what other reviewers are complaining about - this is one of the few beaches I've been to in Thailand that you can actually swim b/c it becomes deep rather quickly, and kids can play in the shallow part b/c there are no big/sharp rocks), resort is SUPER quiet (mostly older guests) so you can really rest, breakfast is right by the sea, nice garden and property, short walking distance to stores and other restaurants/massage parlors. lots of shade to play board games etc during the day, sun loungers always available both by the pool and on the beach. The accommodation is modest,/nothing fancy but all basic necessities are there (mosquito nets on windows, well-functioning A/C, free drinkable water every day, fridge, coffee/water kettle, fresh towels daily, clean!) for a fraction of the cost of nearby hotels. Also, there's a little tour operator store right next to the hotel for taxis, excursions etc, cheaper than from other providers. And the parrot (and kittens and puppies) was the #1 hit with the children!

breakfast food gets boring after a few days; for dinner the nearby restaurants are better (same goes for massages). shower pressure/temperature not the greatest but ok. we had a deluxe bungalow right by the pool which was great!

Comfortable place in private beach, nice pool, great and peacefull garden where we have our bungalow. Great option for chill resort. Of course is more silent district than Chaweng or Lamai but You can find near resort good restaurants or massage studio.

Breakfast is very standard without many local taste.

Great location. Beautiful and quiet beach with many restaurants within walking distance.

The hotel kitchen is far too expensive. 5 minutes down the road you find restaurants offering food and drinks for half the price or less and the hotel coffee is not recommended.
