The hotel was so close to the sea it was lapping the restaurant floor Our room had stupendous views and very roomy and comfortable The staff bent over backwards to help The gardeners took great care of the establishment

Considering we booked in July, and asked for ground floor because we are 73 and have difficulty climbing steps( sent message through booking.com) we were told they only had second floor left, also all sun loungers were occupied by towels, every morning even at 7.45am even though the people were not around, out of 9 days we only managed one day, the alternative was a bean bag, sorry we are 73, and can’t manage that

The most amazing sea view from the room, great balcony with comfy chairs, clean. The area is quiet. You can rent a bike from the hotel.

There is no real beach and this area is not swimmable, so you kinda need chairs at the pool if you wanna chill around, which is nearly impossible because guests „reserve“ the pool chairs very early in the morning by throwing towels on them, and during the day some of them are gone for hours but leave the chairs occupied. The hotel should act on this and put up the sign or something. Breakfast is a bit pricey. Otherwise all perfect.

The sea view from room is beautiful, more so at high tide. The rooms are large and have sofa and dining table. Reception staff very helpful. Pool lovely but could have a few more shade covers. Restaurant serves tasty, reasonably priced meals and fruit drinks from 1pm. Free use of kayaks. Good price for these facilities and service.

Many people have mentioned the distance but relative quiet of the hotel location. I agree it’s not bad because it’s so quiet and chilled there. But what should be mentioned is the sea water level. It never gets deeper than 1m and at low tide it is a mudflat. I wasn’t expecting that so was disappointed. Main Lamai beach and Chaweng beach are regular depth, going above one’s shoulders within a few steps. So if you want to swim in ocean, stay at those bigger beaches.

Our view and room were breathtaking. The biggest and nicest room we stayed in during our 3 week trip across 2 countries. Lovely property with a nice beach front pool.

You’re at the tip of Lamai area here, which meant a 10-15 min Uber to get to actual Lamai beach that was over 30 walking distance if that’s what you’re looking for. The beach is also not one you can swim in, as it’s too shallow for 1km or so. If swimming in the ocean is important to you, staying more central in Lamai may be better.

I stayed in the front villa (room 42) overlooking the pool and beach. Absolutely loved it - great value for money! The room was clean and the pillows were fabulous. Bed is not as hard as most Thai hotels but still very firm! The staff were lovely too - it’s always difficult to communicate when English is not their main language but they were helpful wherever they could such as taking my luggage to and from the room.

There were small ants but they didn’t bother me, nothing out of the ordinary for Koh Samui - it’s an island!

The ocean splashes onto the steps of the restaurant. They make the best garlic shrimps on request. They have the friendliest staff of all our hotels in Thailand (we stayed in 7 hotels). The bathrooms are newly tiled and modern. They have a nice spa and reception orders taxis and trips on your demand. The aircons functioned well. The rooms were extremely tidy and clean. Private beach is quiet and the ocean water is very warm, bordering on hot springs.

the steps to the beach need a railing. With all the rain they become dangerously slippery. Need smart TVs in the rooms. They dont have a lift.

this modest little hotel is literally next door to a five star resort, on a quiet part of the peninsula. So you have five star views for a fraction of the cost. I was on floor 2 of 3 and my big, pleasant room had a balcony with terrific ocean views. The room was clean - and had the most charming “please clean” “please don’t disturb” signs I’ve ever seen! The staff in the restaurant were lovely. The pool is a good size, although not deep. There is a kayak (and life jackets) free to use.

The whole place is very, very tired. The maintenance, the covers on the beds around the pool, the chipped and dirty painting, the plastic chairs in the restaurant. With not much cost or effort, it could be smartened up. While the restaurant staff were lovely, the breakfast offering was pretty poor. As were the other menu items for lunch/dinner.I guess you get what you pay for. It’s a shame. The views from the rooms are wonderful. It could be a little gem of a place with some simple updates

The room was lovely and really spacious especially for the price. Staff were so friendly and helpful - helped us to book trips and taxis and arranged packed breakfasts on days we were heading out early. Breakfast had a really good selection each day and it was nice to be able to sit by the pool.

Everything was lovely but the location might put some people off as it is a distance from major towns/beaches like Lamai and Chaweng. This didn’t bother us too much and a Grab taxi to either was reasonably priced. You are in walking distance of some smaller beaches.

This wonderful boutique resort is located in a beautiful sheltered bay protected by a large offshore reef from strong waves. It does though mean that when the tide is out the water is very shallow. Very welcoming and helpful staff throughout the resort. Our room was spacious, and comfortable and included a balcony with a lovely, relaxing sea view. The local bars, markets, shops and restaurants are a short distance into central Lamai where you can enjoy great value food in town or on the beach and also get a therapeutic Thai massage (don't expect anything relaxing though). Breakfast at the hotel was good with a nice selection of local food and eggs to order. Small motor scooter hire was available from the hotel, easy to ride, and essential to get around and explore the island.

Wonderful friendly staff...super location for peace and quiet. Views from this small cove beach are stunning

Sea swimming. Water crystal but when tide out very shallow
