Koh Samui hotellia

Plussat: The property was beautiful and immaculately kept. The attention from all staff was simply amazing, their friendly, helpful, and smiling happy attitude was the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. Congratulations to the Hotel and the staff.

Plussat: Nothing was too much trouble. Staff are simply amazing. The grounds are spectacular. The room was beautiful even with twin beds (which were huge!) Incredible choice for all at breakfast. And it’s right on the beach. What’s not to love!

Miinukset: Couldn’t fault anything at all.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Nong provided patient instruction to us beginners in Tai Chi and yoga and has inspires us to do more. He was excellent. Pool, breakfast and room were fantastic. Location awesome.

Miinukset: Poor WiFi kept dropping out.

Plussat: I have stayed in hotels and resorts across the world for the last 30 years. Bo Put Resort & Spa is an absolute favorite. Great location, food is top-notch, super friendly staff. All you can dream of for a relaxing vacation with the family. Never stayed anywhere that was so nice to our daughter as here.

Miinukset: Internet drops out frequently in the common areas, but no big deal. The rooms still have good internet connection. Water pressure a bit low in some of the rooms, but still very nice bathrooms and facilities. Not much negative to say...awesome location, food and staff all way through.

Plussat: Such a gorgeous property with delicious food! You definaltey feel like you are staying at a luxury property. It was great to have the option to walk to Fisherman's Village for other meal and drink options but we loved all our meals right at the property. Perfect spot for the second week of our Thai honeymoon. Thank you Bo Phut!

Plussat: Lots of daily activities (yoga, tai chi, city tour, etc). Very attentive staff. Received an upgrade (probably because the hotel was a bit empty). Bed is very comfortable. Bathroom makes you feel like you're in a spa. Nice pool. Spa treatment was great, but very overpriced.

Miinukset: Very expensive. Breakfast is full of options, but not as good as you would expect from a resort like this. The food at the restaurant was a real disappointment. Room was a bit hot for me even with ac working a maximum capacity. Pool would be much better if it had a view of the sea.

Plussat: Cleanliness, quality of accommodation, friendly staff

Miinukset: Improvement needed to the bar area and beach frontage. Neighbouring hotels have bars virtually on the beach with seating areas. The Bo Phut does not and needs redesigning.

Plussat: Everything! The staff at the resort are very polite and would do anything for you. They took customer service to another level! From the time we checked in till the time we checked out, they took good care of us. The resort is well maintained and the food is excellent :) Did not feel like going back home .. Thank you for making our trip so memorable:)

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: Booked this hotel as a treat for our wedding anniversary. Facilities were excellent. Lovely big pool area by the beach and first class massages! We don’t normally eat in hotel restaurants but we had a delicious meal in the restaurant. Had the Thai set menu and they even let us swap dishes so we could have what we wanted. Room was huge and the plunge pool was a welcome relieve from the heat!

Miinukset: Being picky we found the staff overly polite. There are only so many times you can say hello in the space of a 1 minute walk!

Plussat: Erinomainen hinta laatusuhde

Plussat: The hospitality at the resort was fantastic and all our comforts were taken care of. We were thoroughly pampered throughout our stay and I cannot wait to stay again at the resort

Plussat: Staff, cleaning, gym, breakfast

Miinukset: Last night we could not sleep for some reason a Black Moon Party, prices are to expensive,

Plussat: We stayed there for 4 nights for our 1st year anniversary. Where do I start? The staff were really welcoming, candy was at the reception waiting for us to welcome us. The breakfast was really good. All the staff were great and friendly. The beach was amazing it was really clean and crystal clear. Our private dinner was set up really nicely. They also surprised us with our picture and roses in the room. Their food was also really good. Choosing to spend our anniversary at vana Belle was a great choice! We will definitely come back!

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn't like!

Plussat: The best hotel in Koh Samui

Plussat: Very Luxurious. Amazing view and very clean swimming pool. Golf boggy at anytime to take from your room to the beach or pool as it’s a quiet down hill walk.

Miinukset: Nothing to comment on. Just a small stairs going up to the rooms. Small swimming pool. Could use more variety on the breakfast.

Plussat: Very nice hotel, staff was professional but sometimes too much around

Miinukset: the hotel is not very close to the main markets and areas, so you always have to take taxi to get around.

Plussat: Excellent and friendly staff who go or if their way to see you have a great trip.

Miinukset: The stuff got into the room without letting me know and saw my wife naked. Also - many problems with the room and it took them too long to fix it. I think they should do better.

Plussat: Simply put - the best of the best. Perfect. Loved every moment. Great staff evidence of great management. Chapeau!

Plussat: Yea what can yea say nice stay and room was great staff are great think it’s a bit priced higth but great

Plussat: Beautiful property and a very nice beach, nicer than others in the area. The food at the hotel was amazing, and the staff went over and beyond our expectations. We felt like we never had to leave and extended our stay for 3 extra nights.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff very courteous-service exceeded our expectations. Only problem was girl behind the bar-was not very responsive or attentive to our needs on several occasions.

Plussat: Breakfast Room

Miinukset: Beach (can be better exploiting)

Plussat: A real garden oasis with lovely comfortable bungalows. Lovely pool and breakfast was truly fabulous. Staff pleasant and helpful

Miinukset: Beach was small but I think it was affected by recent storm.

Plussat: This isn't your regular resort when you come to Zazen, this is a specialised, exclusive boutique resort where every guest is treated like a VIP. The staff and managers take much time and consideration to making your experience not only good, but the best and the most memorable. We stayed here for 6 days, we were pampered by the pool and by the beach. The reviews say that the restaurant at Zazen is overly priced, but not only is the cuisine here is top class, you also pay to have space, privacy and peace. The restaurant is definately worth the price and we enjoyed the Thai dance performance very much. My fiance planned a romantic candle light dinner on the beach with the hotel staff, the staff worked together to keep it a secret from me very well and played along... we were all alone on the beach when you proposed to me. Thanks to all the staffs' efforts, the night was so magical and most memorable. We hope that the hotel stays the same (management and size) despite the fact that they are planning to restructure the resort (pool and bar). We were also able to rent out the bikes to explore the island. Thank you Zazen esp. to the breakfast and dinner staff, and the managers!! PS. We picked out this resort because it is known to be ecological!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The attention to detail everywhere on the property provided a very relaxed ambiance. The room was really nice, with a very comfortable bed and an amazing rainfall shower. The breakfast had a great selection, with options for any preference from the health fanatic to the sweet tooth

Miinukset: We were told on the phone that we could use the paddle boards, but then told by the beach staff that the paddle boards were broken. Additionally, the paddle boards appeared to have been left there for some time, so the entire resort staff (including the reception) should have been informed that they were broken. OR even better, they should have already been replaced.

Plussat: Breakfast is very good (Big variety of fresh juices. Fresh mango). I recommend you to try "tea ceremony". Very attentive, polite and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended

Miinukset: Beach is so-so

Plussat: When we booked the Zazen we did not realise quite how luxurious it was! We had a wonderful stay there - the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved the 'extras' that were provided as complimentary - 10 min massages on the beach, suncream, fruit, cold flannels, cold drinks and ice pops - all small things, but made a huge difference to our stay. The hotel was clean throughout and the food and drink on offer was amazing.

Miinukset: The only issue that we had was the description of the excursion that we took - we read that it was a speedboat to the AngThong National park - we all assumed it would be a max of approximately 12 people - there were 45 (an outsourced trip run by another company not the hotel) It was hideous and overcrowded!! And not what we were expecting at all. We would also recommend putting CCTV pointing towards the beach as we had a pair of sunglasses stolen from our sunbed when we were swimming in the sea.

Plussat: Very charming hotel!! Everything ia mesmerizing :)

Miinukset: Service is outstanding up to the minimal details. Breakfast is to die for!!!

Plussat: Staff, location, hotel buildings and rooms.

Miinukset: Beach was clean but sea was a bit dirty. Didn't want to swim in it after one experience. It's all a little overpriced. Felt a bit like a cash cow there, they don't need to fleece people staying there. Make the extras, ie the massages more competitive and more guests will use the on-site facilities.

Plussat: Breakfast was great as was the service and staff. There were big showers, comfortable beds, close to Fisherman’s village, friendly guests, a nice guest gathering, Songkran dancing.

Miinukset: Need more drink specials and happy hours. The construction at the pool was a little bit of a nuisance, but they were nice.

Plussat: Beautiful, high quality, good food, good service, kids activities

Miinukset: Expensive

Plussat: Serene, tropical paradise. Superb service - the staff are amazing. Sports centre is brilliant. Beach is good (quite steep and therefore hard to walk on); brilliant spa and the best massage on the beach ever! Rooms were superb.

Miinukset: Could do with a little more food choices - only 2 x eating outlets which are fine but one more would help. Also, the food is a little too elaborate and could do with being toned down a little (for example - every single main course we had over a 5 day period had huge slices of fruit and flowers as decorations that took up half the plate - a little boring after a while!). Small fault though - which should definitely not put anyone off. Food was fresh and flavoursome. Even though the menus did have photos on them (a pet hate!) A little more atmhosphere would be good - it was incredibly quiet and staid (mainly middle aged Europeans staying without children). But as a family of 4 we felt a little conscious that we were having ‘fun’. The main pool is massive but has very little on offer for children - and it is not really a lap pool either. And it is as hot as a bath - a little strange. A small quibble only. And finally, lots of mossies!

Plussat: The reserve villa dr oom we stayed in was really nice, and the staff were very freindly and helpfull . The resturant on the beach has an amazing outlook

Miinukset: The food and drinks where a bit overpriced

Plussat: Very friendly staff with excellent facilities

Miinukset: The food variety needs further improvement

Plussat: Clean ant tidy, garden in a perfect condition

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The staff are delightful! The villa is amazing and we were really well looked after.

Miinukset: Lack of restaurant options. Food was amazing but only one restaurant was open during our stay

Plussat: The sea, the staff, the service, the rooms .. everything

Miinukset: Loved everything

Plussat: Softer and more comfy bed

Plussat: The hotel is very good for families with children, kid club is superb, in the restaurants they always take care of children menu activity as drawing.

Miinukset: The service at the pool side and on the beach was not good as we had in other 5 stars hotels in Samui

Plussat: The beaches are good and the staff and facilities are good Breakfast is rich and have a good variety, and staff are good

Miinukset: Hotel car is double the price of other hotel Some of the staff don’t speak good English. Some of the front office are bushy and confused Hotel fine dining is not real a good fine dining Hotel car is very expensive, double the prices of a similar car in a similar hotel

Plussat: Great place for peace and quiet. Relaxing atmosphere.

Miinukset: Good location for a quiet getaway but a bit of a drive from major shopping areas or nightlife.

Plussat: Loved the decor and the private pool on the terrace. The hotel was quite quiet due to it being the low season but the staff were always available and friendly and attentive. Direct access to a good beach, with many small cafes and bars nearby in easy walking distance, but just far enough off the main strip that you don't get all the noise of the town.

Miinukset: Nothing really. The room was a little dated but it didn't take anything away from the stay. The outdoor terrace size and pool easily made up for it.

Plussat: The hotel was AMAZING. we were able to check in really early, which was brilliant after a long flight from Seoul, the staff were so helpful and attentive and check in was really quick. The lady walked us to our room and the grounds were so beautiful and well kept. On entering the room i was shocked at how big and beautiful it was, all the traditional Thai decor was amazing, the bed was in the center of the room and so comfy! the private plunge pool and lounger was a great addition, and the outside shower was massive! with a big Jacuzzi bath in the room! The facilities at the hotel are great and right by the beach. Breakfast was simple and delicious. The hotel also provided a shuttle into town, till 10 pm, if you were later, it was just a short walk on the beach to the hotel. i cant wait to come back, and you wont be disappointed with this hotel the only problem is whether to spend all day by your plunge pool or at the beach!

Miinukset: nothing it was perfect in every way

Plussat: It’s a very quiet hotel and there are only very few people staying. The view is fantastic but the only regret is that we didn’t get the chance to see the sunrise.

Miinukset: It’s a little bit far from the center of the town. But the hotel offer a tuk tuk transfer and that’s quite helpful.

Plussat: The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Can't stress enough on that. The location is great, too, if you prefer to be on the quieter part of the island. Lamai beach is accessible from the hotel, and honestly it was my favourite beach on the island. There is a free tuk tuk service to the city centre, which turned out to be very convenient. The resort looks and feels like a big, charming, Thai-style temple. The breakfast buffet is quite good.

Miinukset: The electronics (e.g., TV, audio system), although they worked okay, could use some major upgrading. We were a little bit bummed out that we missed out on a couple of free lunch/dinner events, simply because we were not informed about them. I paid a considerable amount of extra money to get a beach view room, but I was disappointed to see that much of the view was blocked by tall palm trees.

Plussat: the biggest advantage is the location on the beach service always smiling and happy to help

Miinukset: prices in the restaurant

Plussat: Everything was great! Service was fantastic and the room was spotless clean. Beautifully decorated resort with a great beach. 2 mins walk to the city center, makes it the best place to be. Loved it and i hope to come back!!

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and catered to all of our needs. The beach was wonderful and very close to hotel steps. The island itself was wonderful and the people were also very friendly and kind to foreigners. I would most certainly go back for a second trip. Only regret is not staying for longer then a week.

Miinukset: Nothing really everything exceeded our expectations.

Plussat: Excellent hotel, with very good facilities and beautiful gardens and pools. The staff was very nice and helpful. The free activities provided by the hotel, mainly the yoga class and thai cooking class, were very interesting and fun to do. I highly recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Room big enough, access to the beach, friendly staff

Miinukset: Unstylish design, no feeling of holiday in thailand

Plussat: Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. Fabulous place to stay!

Miinukset: On Fridays they have a pool party with a DJ, which seems a bit out of sync with the hotel’s tranquil vibes.

Plussat: Gym & acqua classes, & cooking demonstrations were a nice touch. The quiet (& lack of wasted food) from being adults only. Pool was fantastic. Staff was lovely & helpful. Resort lookout was great.

Miinukset: Restaurant menu is a little limited if you’ve been eating lunch & dinner there for a few days. We weren’t told that if you chose not to have the specialist Thai Buffet one night, you would have to order room service (& pay the loading for that). Picky...but...the bathroom doesn’t really have enough hanging space for towels & hand towels.

Plussat: This resort is gorgeous! Being adult only is so wonderful and it was peaceful and relaxing! We stayed in the beach pool villa with a beautiful view and plunge pool. SUCH friendly staff who went above and beyond when I was sick the last day there to bring us room service of any food I could stomach and offer to go with us to the pharmacy. Airport transfer was wonderful and everything from yoga activities, shuttle transfer to markets and classes were outstanding! Would recommend this resort over and over again.

Plussat: I cannot recommend this hotel more. We felt so lucky to have booked here. The location is good, it’s clean, the staff are beyond help and friendly, the atmosphere is great and it has a better beach than the nearby W at half the price or more! Adults only means that the hotel is quiet and calm. The pool is open late (till 11pm). The beach is quiet and clean and the hotel provides beanbags and umbrellas. The food is lovely from breakfast through to dinner and the coffee in the morning is done fantastically!

Miinukset: This is super picky... The sand on the beach is lovely and soft, but there is one beach on the island which is slightly better for soft sand and clear sea. However, that beach is busier and the hotels are nowhere near as good as Sensimar!

Plussat: The vibe, the anniversary welcome sign and bottle of champagne, the hospitality and the location. We also loved the daily activities and how easy it was to go outside of the resort.

Plussat: Hotelli oli kokonaisuudessaan täydellinen. Rauhallinen aikuisten hotelli.Ilmaisia aktiviteetteja,erittäin siistit huoneet ja ympäristö.Hotellilla toimi kaikki.

Miinukset: Olisi ollut kiva,jos hotellilta olisi ollut kuljetus myös aamupäivisin eri paikkoihin.

Plussat: The property was beautiful. We stayed in the private villa beachfront with an infinity pool. I don’t think I could stay in any other room there after experiencing that. It was perfect. The resort is a little more secluded from some bustling areas, so if you’re looking for peace and quiet it’s perfect. They offer a shuttle service but it cost $$ and space is limited, so if you don’t have a car it’s your best option. Taxis are available and so is grab, but it’s a little pricy bc of the traffic and the distance. The food onsite is good. The staff was super friendly and the pool bar was fun!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff!! Thanks Mathieu and Tanya!! Always going for the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. Cleaning staff, restaurant and bar staff! All of them were very motivated and friendly! Great breakfast!! Great swimming pool area!! Best place I've ever been to chill out and relax!!

Miinukset: It was difficult to move around without a car. Fisherman's Village is 45m walking, and I don't recommend walking along highly busy road with no sidewalks. The beach is nice, though murky sea. Mosquitoes at night.

Plussat: Being adults only was peaceful. The beach, infinity pool, fitness activities, fitness centre and classes, food, staff etc etc all superb. Loved the cocktail class and a shame we missed the cooking classes. Book shuttle to fisherman's village...it was a highlight.

Miinukset: Foul smells close to septic tank near some lower floor rooms. Apart from that wonderful.

Plussat: Staff

Miinukset: No privacy for own swimming pool No bath tub No sofa chair No place for placing and opning the suite case Location

Plussat: Overall it’s a nice resort but very standard. The ratings are mostly from first time five star Koh Samui Traveler, don’t be mislead this resort can’t compete with the Ritz, Six Sense or Banyan Tree, I stayed in all of them. The villas are nice and comfy but nothing special. The staff is friendly but not as professional as in other hotels in that category, the little extra is always missing. For example, in every five star resort where I’m paying 400-600$ a night my breakfast which is served to the room is being built up nicely, not just placed in the room and all covers are still left on the meals. The fine things are totally missing, no attention to details. Again, it’s a good place to stay but if you can check into the Ritz for the same $, then go for the Ritz.

Miinukset: It’s super noisy from 08:00AM to 07:00PM as a new building is being constructed right next to the resort.

Plussat: Very friendly and accommodating staff, one of my best stays by far. The facilities are fantastic and extremely clean. Will definitely come back to this resort

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The quietness and the small little details of inside the room and resort and so clean ,also the all staff was excellent i really enjoyed my stay The staff surprised me with a birthday cake at 12 am i really loved it and all staff in the breakfast was greeting my thank you all

Miinukset: -the gym was too small and lake of trining machines (my husband dislikes) -beach side wasn’t as other resorts sea water was to muddy

Plussat: Rauhallinen sijainti, siisti puutarha-alue ja siistit viihtyisät pool-villat. Henkilökunta kohteliasta ja auttavaista.

Miinukset: Viereisen tontin rakennustyömaasta.

Plussat: Wonderful restaurant, SALA - and great pool and adult pool, happy hour poolside massage, beach area, decor, room size and room service, privacy, etc

Miinukset: Construction next door is loud, and children are always disruptive to other guests

Plussat: This is a top notch, luxury hotel with a very good price point. The vibe is very zen and peaceful, and everywhere you look is just a perfect picture postcard. We decided to upgrade from the deluxe room that I originally booked- I'm so glad we did! We loved the privacy and convenience of our gorgeous Pool Villa, where we could lounge privately any time. The two outside pools are also lovely. Our favorite thing of all was the excellent food! Every dish we ordered was delightful. I do not recommend going off property for food- we tried several options elsewhere in Koh Samui (including the very highly rated Chez Francois in Fishermans Village) but nothing could compare to the simple elegance and refined flavors (not to mention beautifully presented) food at Sala. And the cocktails are to die for! Each one was more delicious than the last, and the happy hour is a fantastic bargain. Loved the Sala and will be back for sure!

Miinukset: I didn't use the spa because the prices were very high (similar to US Spa Resort pricing). Instead I visited the beach massage shack right in front of the hotel on the sand, where a very good Thai massage is about $10USD.

Plussat: Everything , the service was impeccable

Miinukset: N/adel

Plussat: Nice quiet beach, great recommendations for boat trips, nice yoga lesson, beautiful pools

Miinukset: Maybe some shuttle services to nearby sites

Plussat: The design of the architecture here is really gorgeous. The facilities and the services worth the price. I would recommend couples to come here because the shower system and all the garnishes are romantic.

Miinukset: The sand on the beach is not really comfortable. The breakfast does not have a large varieties. Also the dinner restaurant taste really bad which the price is also too high.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent with a great choice of food, fresh fruits and a juice bar. the swimming pool and the beach are beautiful, quiet and very relaxing. We really enjoyed the free kayak and paddling board at the beach. Our Sala Villas were amazing: always clean, very comfortable and in a beautiful surrounding. Our kids especially enjoy the private pool. Quiet location far from the crowds.

Miinukset: Nothing. But a great bonus would be a shuttle from the hotel to some of the locations such as Bophut Fisherman's village

Plussat: Häätilaisuus oli kauniisti.

Miinukset: Rakennustyöt aamusta iltaan naapuritontilla

Plussat: It is an excellent property right on the beach and very great staff.

Miinukset: The AC in our room could have been better.

Plussat: The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The villa is well equipped with all facilities with Magnificent view and fantastic interior design. We had free upgrade for our villa by hotel management. In general its one of the best resorts I ever stayed in my life a d highly recommend for couples and small families

Miinukset: The room price rate is a bit high compared with similar resorts in Thailand. Need to have more shuttle service trips scheduled from hotel to markets and malls since the hotel is a bit far from city center. Can't swim in the hotel beach especialy during low sea tide due to rock and coral.Hotel need to build small floating platform to allow hotel guests to swim and snorkel in the deep water.

Plussat: Amazing location on its own private hill in a deep jungle setting. You never want to or need to leave Banyan Tree. The service is impeccable in all areas of the hotel. The villas and their private pools are amazing! By far the best hotel we've ever been to. An unmissable experience.

Miinukset: The hotel's beach is nice and sandy but full of coral - obviously not the hotel's fault - and inaccessible without special shoes which are provided by the hotel for free!

Plussat: A very secluded resort in a good way.Excellent services and facilities.Room are very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Quite far from nearest town (taxi fares can be expensive)

Plussat: The landscaping is very good and the view from the breakfast platform is great.

Miinukset: The breakfast service was chaotic after 9.30am, so the first lesson you learn is to get to breakfast early to have a calm and enjoyable experience. The breakfast area appears to be too small given the size of the hotel. The buggy service was also subject to long delays sometimes. There was no follow up from the general manager after I complained about the chaotic and overcrowded breakfast service to the food and beverage manager.

Plussat: Staff is amazing, rooms are fantastic and the family loved it

Miinukset: If the beach didn’t have a lot of rocks it would be nice

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing, it was an incredible trip and would love to go back again someday.

Plussat: Great place for relax and enjoy privacy

Miinukset: Beach is bad you cant swim at beach cause of big stones and some are sharp

Plussat: View, sea, pool, and villa.

Miinukset: Food and Beverage overpriced. Ocean View was obstructed.

Plussat: This is a beautiful resort comprising individual villa accommodation, three restaurants onsite and a private beach. The individual villas are superb. The villas are large with high ceilings and equipped to a very high standard. The bed is fabulous and there is a separate large living area, as well as a luxury bathroom with separate shower. The highlight of the room is the pool that is large enough to be more than just a plunge pool. I took a dip every morning as soon as I woke up. I thoroughly recommend the partial ocean view villas, as they give a good view of the ocean as well as being higher in the development, so less crowded by trees. Service is of a very high standard and the staff are all helpful. The lobby restaurant provides an excellent buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: The villas are quite spread out, which is good for privacy, but it does mean that you need to call for a buggy every time you want to go anywhere. We were lucky in that our villa was within walking distance of the lobby and restaurant, but other villas are much further afield. The hotel is expensive, so you will pay a lot for food and drinks in any of the restaurants, although the quality is high. There is limited entertainment/activities in the hotel, so you will need a taxi ride into the nearest town (Lamai) for a more exciting evening.

Plussat: Hotel is excellent, staff is super friendly,food is great, location the best, view from villa is the best!!! Sme

Plussat: Amazing hotel, beautiful room with outdoor shower, great breakfast in the restaurant. Dining in the restaurant too expensive, we haven't tried as there is more options available around and much cheaper. Lovely pool with great view and lovely,sandy beach. Very close to the village.

Miinukset: The only minus would be expensive bar at the pool with lack of atmosphere in the evening. We had only drinks during happy hours.

Plussat: I'll start with the cleanliness! The staff cleans very well. We has the pool room with beach view. The staff at breakfast buffet were very nice too. The food at breakfast buffet was good but not great, for what i paid for i expected it to be like other 5 star hotels but it wasn't. The breakfast needs varaiery and better presentation. The beach was very warm and nice.

Miinukset: The room service was the worst, i mean the food. Room service staff, i think it was the same guy in both times when i ordered, did not understand english. I asked to bring salt with the food, it was not brought. Normally, it should be brought without even asking. The second time, i asked for scallop with shrimps, what they brought was another dish which had only scallops, and was half rare. Another thing, is the free shuttle service that they offer. From the resort @3:00 PM and 6:00 PM and you should book early as if it gets booked they don't offer you another shuttle! And for the way back it it @3:30 PM and @6:30 PM. Note: The taxi here in Ko Samui is not cheap, rather expensive. Finally, Celes Spa: I wanted deep tissue massage to releive muscle tension, something like swedish massage, they had 3 kinds, that surprisingly are the same technique but using a different kind of oil!! Yes, in Thailand where you'd be expecting A LOT in this category. I wanted to try anyway, thought to myself it should be too good, but it wasn't. A blonde lady was my therapist, with her nail she scratched my whole body. I did not comment on that, but even the massage itself did not meet my expectation, it was waay below!

Plussat: We loved the amazing pool and staff, the room is very nice, new and the outdoor shower is awesome! The design of the hotel is beautiful, modern and very good locations for Instagram pics  We were at the hotel for 3 nights and came back to 3 more nights after traveling to Phangan and Koh Tao. Defiantly planning to get back to the hotel on our next trip to Koh Samui.

Miinukset: Drink and food were a bit pricy.

Plussat: Lovely welcoming at a beautiful modern resort with a welcoming drink and delicious coconut ice cream. The architecture and layout is amazing. Really enjoyed the infinity pool. The staff was really nice, welcoming and attentive. The room was nice and especially enjoyed receiving fresh fruit. The breakfast was also really good with a variety of dishes to choose from.

Miinukset: The fisherman’s village near the resort is quite fake with a row of restaurants, tourist shops and massage parlours before a row of resorts. The bed was too hard for my taste and the hotel could not offer toppers to lay on top of the bed. The price for value in comparison to other 5* hotels in Thailand is too high.

Plussat: We loved the amazing pool and staff, the room is very nice, new and the outdoor shower is awesome! The design of the hotel is beautiful, modern and very good locations for Instagram pics  also, the breackfast is very good, everything was frash and the staff was very nice even we came 5 min before the end of the breackfast (everyday)... We were at the hotel for 3 nights and came back for 3 more nights after traveling to Phangan and Koh Tao. Defiantly planning to get back to the hotel on our next trip to Koh Samui.

Miinukset: The drinks and food at the hotel are a bit pricy but there's a 7/11 2 min walk.

Plussat: The quality of the resort was extremely high with beautiful rooms, an amazing pool area and access directly to the beach. The staff were extremely helpful and kind and really made the whole trip enjoyable. The breakfast in the morning was amazing and had a great variety. I would definitely recommend this resort to my family and friends and would definitely come back. After living in Thailand for 2 years previously, this is one of the nicest resorts I have stayed in so it was great to come back to Thailand with family and to stay here.

Miinukset: Literally, the only thing that could improve this resort would be some night time entertainment.

Plussat: Lovely houses and beach villas surrounded by plants and flowers. Very quite position next to Fisherman’s Village

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: We had the most amazing time at Celes. The staff, location, breakfast and rooms were great. Best hotel we've stayed in!

Miinukset: The only thing we didn't like was the short time we had at this property. Definitely worth visiting again.

Plussat: The hotel was perfect in every way and would highly recommend it, all being well we will be heading back next year.

Miinukset: we liked everything couldn't find any fault.

Plussat: The hotel was gorgeous! My room was amazing and the bed was huge....absolutely spotless. Staff are lovely and helpful. Pool area onto the beach was perfect. Location great ....very close to Fisherman's village and not far from Chaweng. I would definately recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Everything about this property is First Class.I would like to express my appreciation especially to the staff,who were so attentive and friendly.

Miinukset: The location of the bed against the wall.

Plussat: Little gem in Samui. 5 stars service. People are caring everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the location and the friendly staff. Beautiful beach and the tree by the pool gives a shade during a warm day. great food and cocktails. The breakfast is just what you expect and you also have a front office staff at the breakfast area who is more than happy to gather feedback from you and give you information.

Miinukset: The mosquito population at the island can be a great Problem, almost everybody had mosquito bites all over. Be aware as the staff have a tendency to keep the door open during house-keeping which allows the mosquitoes to enter. This alone can be a stressful factor on a relaxing vacation.

Plussat: I loved everything about the hotel from the Reception to the beach area ,Tono was the Star of the front desk area ..Arm was the superman of the poolside the beach area each and every staff that we passed by acknowledged us and the place was full of love and smiles Noonie was always around asking us if we needed anythin..the service I would give it 100% such a beautiful place would definitely go back again thanks Buri Rasa ❤ 6 Star service

Miinukset: There is nothing that I didn't like it was excellent.

Plussat: Stuff is great, breakfast very good, just right size for small resort

Miinukset: Everything outside hotel. Chaweng is one of the most ugliest places I ever see. Koh Samui should be beautiful nature, and people ruined it.

Plussat: Lovely small hotel with a lot of attention for details and wonderful staff doing everything to make me feel welcome. Right next to the beach, close to the center but still quiet, short transfer time from the airport.

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: Staff extremely courteous, helpful, eager to accommodate. Location great as was design of resort. Lovely, just lovely.

Miinukset: Nothing....

Plussat: Very relaxed stay. Superb breakfast. Right on the beach. Friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: The private pool doesn't really work. I noticed that no one else seemed to use them either.

Plussat: The hotel is not very large, but nice, clean and quiet. It has good privacy for each room. The breakfast is OK and you could bring them to the beach chair for free and enjoy the sunshine and the beach there. There aren't a lot of entertainments, but it is very comfortable and relaxing.

Miinukset: There are many stairs. If you come with infant and older people, it would be more convenient to live on the first floor.

Plussat: The Hotel was clean and comfort. the staff was helpful and always smiling.

Miinukset: The lux level of lights need more attention. The breakfast can be better.

Plussat: The hotel and facilities are immaculate. As people have said before the photos don’t do it justice ! It is a wow factor . All the staff are very attentive . We especially liked joe who recommended us places to go around the island . The shuttle service is such an efficient service to and from fisherman’s village and cheaweng nothing too much trouble for all the staff . The food in the restaurant is a high standard and so is the breakfast

Plussat: The rooms are fully equipped and extremely comfortable. The pool is a good size perfect for exercise - not just leisure. The gym is well equipped. Closest beach - only 3 blocks - and the hotel will zip you there in a tuk-tuk, is peaceful paradise. Staff and management are friendly and approachable. Even the music played poolside is lovely. Fantastic experience.

Plussat: Staff are amazing, food was also perfect and the breakfast is a 10/10. I would definitely come back. Also, the spa is extremely relaxing and the massages are the best I've ever had.

Plussat: We absolutely loved our stay! The staff is amazing. Always friendly and they really take care of you. We needed to go to the doctor and it was no problem to bring us there. If you have any question or request you can just call them! The room (we got a studio) was clean and luxurious with a small kitchen and a sitting area with flatscreen. The pool is really big. And if you want to relax by the sea, you can book a free transfer to their beach club including an amazing infinity-pool and seafront. Location is ok. Not many restaurants in the neighborhood, but a supermarket at walking distance. The hotel offers transfers to Fisherman’s village and Chaweng for 50 baht pp, so it was easy to get around. Food is a bit expensive, but of good quality. The breakfast was extensive, 4 different kinds of homemade bread, eggs, pancakes, fresh cheeses...

Miinukset: The WiFi didn’t always work properly

Plussat: great breakfast

Miinukset: bathrooms need to be updated bit

Plussat: Cleanliness, swimming pool, friendly manager (Loma) and staff.

Miinukset: Location, odor in some bathrooms (we rented 6 rooms)

Plussat: Everything!! One of the most amazing hotels we have ever stayed. The food, room, staff, spa..it was all perfect. We loved our stay so much we extended it by 3 days and would go back in a heartbeat! Lanna is paradise!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Hotel and staff are perfect. Rooms and pool are excellent.

Miinukset: Location is not a massive issue as hotel has shuttle service to Cheweng and Fishmans village. Can be an issue getting back late at night.

Plussat: Paras hotelliaamiainen mitä kukaan meistä oli syönyt ikinä. Listalta sai tilata ihania herkkuja pannukakuista eggs benedicteihin. Altaalla tarjoiltiin virkistäviä drinkkejä ja hotellin manager kyseli päivittäin kuinka voimme ja miten voisivat tehdä oleskelusta vielä paremman.

Miinukset: Tennis ja aamun jooga olivat maksullisia mikä hieman ihmetytti tämän tasoisessa hotellissa. Aurinkotuoleja puolella mihin paistoi päivällä oli liian vähän ja tilaa ylipäätänsä ottaa aurinkoa. Monet vieraat kävivät aamulla varaamassa pyyhkeillä tuolit ja häipyivät muualle eikä hotellin henkilökunta ei puuttunut tähän laisinkaan.

Plussat: Everything! The staff were incredibly helpful and kind to us! Breakfast was delicious, the pool is lovely and the rooms are very comfortable!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Wonderful staff, beautiful hotel. Best value for money I've experienced

Plussat: Beautiful resort in a stunning setting! What a shame it felt like they were trying to squeeze out every possible penny of us; at the restaurant, at the spa, and for organized tours, which were all way too expensive. The argument that similar resorts on the island charge the same, feels like a bad excuse.

Miinukset: The prices at the restaurant were really overpriced, for example we wanted to have the dinner buffet one night. We are a family of four (adults), the price were 1 900 Bath + taxes and service charge per person, so the total would have been nearly 300 USD for one meal. Another time we had expensive drinks by the pool that were so blended that they tasted merely water. Even though the location is stunning, it's remote and taxis on the island are expensive, especially when arranged by the hotel. There are not many alternative choices for eating nearby. Why not keep reasonable prices so that people feel comfortable staying and having their meals on the resort rather than feeling obligated to look for alternatives. I can see from previous reviews that we are far from the only ones with this reaction. For this reason we would not choose to stay here again.

Plussat: Perfect getaway for a couple of days - once you are there, you won't want to leave. We stayed for a couple of days at the end of our holiday, for total relax, after doing all the trips that we wanted.

Miinukset: It's a resort, so you could be anywhere.

Plussat: Amazing staff and service overall, great breakfast.

Miinukset: Lighting system in room not flexible enough

Miinukset: Quality of food is so so, service at the restaurants was poor (inattentive and very slow though polite - especially at the beach restaurant). The decor is extremely artificial, over done - it didn’t feel natural at all even at the beach. I didn’t like the style.

Plussat: If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is it. Huge comfy beds in the villas and not a sound except the lapping of the waves and the odd engine of a boat passing. So relaxing.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The pool

Miinukset: Food too expensive Snorkling trip also too expensive (44.000 bath for two people for a few hours snorkling is a lot. For that money you fly to Bali to go snorkling)

Plussat: Everything. Perfect place to start a holiday total relaxation. Beautiful food, beautiful staff and very tranquil

Plussat: Very comfortable facilities in the room. Clean. Staff is very nice, helpful and accommodating.

Miinukset: I wrote earlier.

Plussat: So spacious like a mansion.

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet is good. Other food you are better off going out...much better food at local restaurants and half price or less.

Plussat: Our villa was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly and professional. Our son enjoyed the kids activities very much. We had a very pleasant and relaxing holiday!

Plussat: Staff was very very good, totally liked the hotel. If the breakfast was good as it would be, would highly recommend this hotel.

Plussat: The place was just beautiful and the staff were excellent. They really made sure we had the best possible stay on the island.

Miinukset: Only thing is the mosquitoes at night.

Plussat: Everything! The swimming pool, view,and the wonderful villa. Staff was great.

Plussat: perfect

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Staff, transport around the island, scenery and food

Miinukset: The air con could have been better

Plussat: The view is surreal. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Very systematic. Great breakfast. Clean

Miinukset: Nothing at all. Love the place

Plussat: The overall stay was very pleasant (we spent 6 days there). All villas (we switched 2 villas (2 bedrooms pool villas) during our stay and were able to look at another one - see the other part of my feedback for the reasons) have special well-thought design, are all open to the beautiful view and very well looked after. The staff was very attentive, always willing to help. The breakfast choices were quite rich although the concept of a-la-carte breakfast in such place is not clear to me. The availability of shuttle service by the property is very convenient but limiting free shuttle (given the property location) to Lamai or Chaweng beaches to only 3 times a day seems unjustified. There is a very nice small beach (Coral Cove beach) within 5 minutes drive from the hotel that we liked a lot.This beach is served by the hotel shuttle for free any time during a day (till 5pm).

Miinukset: We are family consisting of 2 adults and 3 kids. So, after reading the 2 bedrooms pool villa description on the site (both booking.com and the property website) we understood that 2 bedrooms pool villa has also a gallery with an additional bed that can sleep our 3rd kid. When we arrived we were provided though a villa of smaller size that had absolutely different design, smaller pool and no gallery to sleep 5th person. When we complained it turned out that there are 3 different 2 bedrooms pool villas - all of different size, with different features (with or w/o jacuzzi, with or w/o dining room etc), and different pool sizes. When I requested to stay in the villa that I thought I reserved (according to the description on all sites), I was told that it would be possible only after 3 nights as that villa was busy. As we have no choice we accepted the offer (we also received some compensation from the property for the misunderstanding). The bottom line is that while I don't want to tell the property how to market and sell their villas, I believe it is the must that these 3 villas should be described separately on their site, so people could know what they are buying.

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: It is not a 5 star hotel!!!! Your page is wrong, you must give a god advise. But it is failing this is not a hotel!!!!!! I fell you are given bad advise to costumers

Plussat: We travelled to 5 locations during our trip to Thailand and this was by far the best way we could have ended our holiday. Excellent check in service with a great view. The accommodation was exceptional with a view of the entire North East Coast of the Island and of Coral Cove. The private infinity pool / Jacuzzi was very well positioned. The hotel staff will take you down to the beach in a private car and pick you up when you want - takes 1 minute to get to the beach (Coral Cove) which has some of the best snorkelling we have seen - as you get in you will be surrounded by sea life immediately. Highly recommended and we will be coming back for a 4 day break in the near future. This was a far better experience than Phuket and outdid the other locations we stayed at whilst in Kho Samui.

Miinukset: We only spent one day there!

Plussat: The views

Miinukset: To get the view you are isolated on a hill you can’t decide to go out on the spur of the moment you need to plan your trip so a driver can take you and the cost can add up

Plussat: Good location with private beach and qualified staff.

Plussat: Overall a perfect vacation. Very nice hotel (middle in the nature, private beach), very friendly staff, very good breakfast. I can definitely recommend this hotel.

Plussat: I loved the location. Beautiful pools and private beach. Very close to the airport too.

Plussat: Loved the staff very happy, friendly and went out of their way. Lovely breakfast with lots of choices. Beautiful location pool and beach. Will definitely go back

Miinukset: Parts a little tired but everything else so wonderful easy to overlook

Plussat: We loved an amazing view and service was very good

Miinukset: Non

Plussat: Quite

Miinukset: Very old buildings

Plussat: Loved the fact that the hotel is not only friendly but also extremely eco friendly. No plastic at all seen during my whole stay. The view over the Bay is beautiful, the open air kino event was great, the fresh juices bar for breakfast a delight and I will come back for sure!

Plussat: Fantastic staff. Great breakfast and facilities. Pleasant atmosphere and decent clientele.

Miinukset: Not crazy about the little stony beach and rather murky water. Found the restaurants rather pricey. The in-house excursions also pricey and had some issues with hotel’s contractor.

Plussat: The location is amazing, staff are very friendly, they spoil us all the time, spa is amazing, it’s also impressive how they care about environment and the food was also amazing. The whole experience was fantastic and we are definitely going back!

Plussat: The room is big and clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are good, some evenings they have a special program like live music or fire show

Miinukset: It was impossible to swim in the ocean - shallow water, not clean, and a lot of urchins in June. it’s not a problem of hotel of course, but we had to drive to another beach to swim there

Plussat: Beautifully laid out and well kept.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Private villa swimming pool Excellent service Bar restaurant located next to beach

Miinukset: Beach very nice need beach shoes for swimming rocky under foot

Plussat: The place is absolutely stunning. The most peaceful, unpretentious yet comfortable resort I have ever stayed at. Gorgeous views, 3 pools to choose from, stunning beach area, with plenty of sun beds. Never a struggle to find a sun bed, wether at the beach or any of the pools. The food at the bar, both a la carte and buffets was delicious. The breakfast buffet was good too. In regards to the staff, I’d like to mention VIEW from reception. Nothing was too much trouble.

Miinukset: There were a couple of minor things, when we first got there, we asked for a spare key to the room, as I was traveling with my mother, and to be honest I think that’s quite a reasonable request. They took our room key for a few hours and got back to us with the wrong key. The next day, we gave our key again, waited for about 6/7 hours for a new one that never came. No one followed up on it. The location is far from everything, shuttle bus to Lamai costs 50 baht one way, and 100 baht one way to Chaweng. We loved the location because we wanted to relax in a peaceful environment, however if you’re planning to go out often I’d recommend hiring a car.

Plussat: Upea ranta, hyvä ruoka, erinomainen spa, oma garden villa oli siisti, tilava ja viihtyisä. Kuntosali pieni, mutta riittävä. Kivaa ohjelmaa, esim. Thai kokkauskurssi. Hotellilla green program eli pyrkivät ympäristöystävälliseen toimintaan.

Miinukset: Ilmainen wifi toimi välillä erittäin huonosti.

Plussat: Stuff the view the food the smiles all stuff professional

Plussat: Everything. Staff excellent and friendly. Breakfasts exceptional.

Miinukset: Many steps to wherever you were going.

Plussat: Beautiful tropical location and great buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: Many, many steps.

Plussat: Staff were amazing especially Jason thank you for making our anniversary so wonderful

Miinukset: Beautiful scenery and beach

Plussat: The private pool villa was nice to have. The convenience of being able to swim anytime you want was nice. Staff was friendly and check-in was a breeze. On Thursdays, between 6pm-7pm, guests have the chance to meet the management at the hotel and have complimentary drinks on the beach. There is a butterfly garden located across from the hotel. 160 Baht for hotel guests. Ticket includes a voucher to use at the hotel during happy hour; buy one drink, get one free.

Miinukset: There was an unsightly old plastic bag covering the skylight above the shower.

Plussat: food was very good, staff were very friendly

Plussat: Beautiful Villa, beautiful beach, very quiet area of the Resort.

Miinukset: Complicated arranged Villas, difficult to find the right ways. More proper signs are needed to guide the way. And you need to go a lot of steps from the beach to the lobby and Villas. In the Bathroom the Handshower was not working. The air conditioner was very loud.

Plussat: Gorgeous property and friendly staff. The sunsets were some of the most spectacular I've ever seen!

Miinukset: There were renovations going on throughout the hotel at the time of our stay. The infinity pool was under construction so was closed to guests, which I wasn't notified about at the time of booking. Other than the construction noise during breakfast, our stay was very pleasant!

Plussat: Everything was perfect and had a intact nature!

Miinukset: The quality and quantity of foods were poor and the access to the center was far away!

Plussat: The sea view The staff (especially Kwan and Nok at the amber restaurant) The air bar Our balcony

Miinukset: If I have to say, breakfast variety could be better on the ham and cheese and bread section. And the kid club could be bigger and brighter

Plussat: The staff was very sincere , warm and kind, especially Mr.Rawhe and Mrs.Itim , during my son’s difficult medical stage, starting from arranging the free transportation to the hospital and sending the meals and drinks to the room and your calls asking about my son. Everything was perfect in the resort!

Plussat: A quiet place away from the agitation of crowded resorts. Good for recreation, rest and recovery. The price is not low, but it is consistent with the comfort offered. Very polite and helpful staff. Very spacious, clean room with a pleasant design and equipped with everything you need. A special mention deserves the bed and pillows that are very comfortable. The terrace is very spacious. I would recommend the terrace facing the garden because it is cooler in the afternoon. Excellent and varied food, including European variants. I recommend half board. Transportation to the beach and back is provided with electric cars, available anytime for free. Nice swimming pools including jacuzzi. The transfer to and from the airport takes about 40 minutes and costs about 60 euros for a van. The sunset in the sea is splendid. I recommend touring the island with the hotel's van and visiting the main objectives. It costs about 40 euros per person and takes about 5 hours.

Miinukset: You can not really swim in the sea because of the stones and too many algae near the shore. At least the algae could be removed daily with a net. The sunny beach and the salted water of the sea is actually the main attraction of the seaside sojourn. Swimming pools can be found anywhere, even at home. I recommend at least an umbrella to shade the smoking areas. Smokers are also people after all.

Plussat: We had use of golf buggies to transport us between our room and the lobby, although the walk back down the steps was beautiful. If you keep an eye out you might see squirrels in the trees. The sunset views from our back yard were amazing and the pool temperatures were perfect. The food was great and non-alcoholic drinks from the minibar were also complimentary. The staff were very attentative and even arranged for a vehicle to pick us up from a nearby restaurant without us having to ask. There were no issues with mosquitoes and the rooms were kept very clean.

Plussat: We loved views from our room and the club lounge. The infinity pool was beautiful and the sunset at the air bar amazing. The staff were lovely and so helpful.

Miinukset: Shower water became cold only on last night but I’m sure had we complained they would have fixed it.

Plussat: Staff were friendly

Miinukset: They asked my husband to leave a completely empty seating area because it was reserved for their (non existent) card members. Quite old and tired decor

Plussat: Restaurant staff was excellant!! Food was great!! Great property, well maintained. Best view . Prompt service

Miinukset: Hospitality was not warming!! Distance is too bad and charged for to centre travel even by a hotel shuttle. Too bad Its like obvious money making attitude. Buffets No value for money at all.

Plussat: Breakfast is good and place is nice
