10 hotels in Ko Samui: Best hotel deals for 2023

August 12, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

Best honeymoon!

Reviewed By alexandrebf

My wife and I had an amazing stay at the Melia Koh Samui for our honeymoon. This was by far the best hotel I’ve ever been to. The hotel is surrounded by a pool which connects all buildings to its main pool by the beach. We stayed at one of the boats which came with several perks such as a great complimentary happy hour from 5.30-7.30pm. The staff was absolutely the best, extremely polite and fun. Special shout out to Makam who had just started that week and did such a great job! Siri and K were also super friendly. We will miss them all and we hope to come back at some point.

Excellent hotel and exceptional services

Reviewed By Bekeshi

Vana Belle Samui is one of the best hotels. Exceptional services since you put your feet down. Great for vacation and relaxing. I spend most of my time inside. All staffs are well trained and they assist you truly from their heart not just work for their paycheck. Khun Thank you Tangmo for giving me a warm welcome and check-in, and Khun Lek for giving me an instant buggy ride whenever I request. Housekeeping team; Khun Pea, Khun Mai, Khun Orn, and Khun Sa, and everyone at Kiree the Bistro for excellent breakfast as well as Panali for dinner. Cocktails at the Pool Bar are great. My butler whose name is RADTANAWADEE (PEI PEI) provides me with the best services that I could ask for. Thank you for arranging the early birthday for my sister with a beautiful and delicious cake. Worth every single cent! It is luxury but you get beyond what you pay for.

Amari Koh Samui

You’ll find us on a secluded beachfront at idyllic Chaweng Beach just 5km from Koh Samui Airport. We’re not far from Wat Plai Laem temple or the Fisherman’s Village at Bophut, which comes to life every Friday evening as a bustling street market. Day trips and boat charters can take you to Angthong National Marine Park, a pristine archipelago featuring thick jungle, white-sand beaches, towering mountains, waterfalls and lakes to explore.

Stingy, racist staff ruined the experience

Reviewed By notsuhina

This was an expensive resort and the staff ruined our experience. We made a booking for 3 people for 10 days and they were not aware, assigning us a room for 2 people. Even so, the room was extremely tiny and cramped and there was no space for our luggage. The room design was quite depressing and not at all matching with the rest of the resort, gray floors and walls. We were not at all happy with the room given the exorbitant price we paid but they absolutely refused to move us to a better room. They should have offered a free upgrade since we were disappointed and 3 members but even though we were willing to pay extra they did not budge. The staff was also quite visibly racist since we were an Indian family and there was a clear difference in the way they were treating us versus the european guests. We had booked a 10 day stay and for 5 days, our bathroom floor was wet due to a leaking pipe which is really disgusting. Several times they came to fix but it would resume leaking and they did not move us to another room even in the same category. They kept trying to fix it instead of just changing our room. In the last few days the staff became really cheap and stingy and were not providing us enough towels and bathrobes even after requesting. They were behaving as if we were staying there for free and availing undue benefits and this was again a very clearly racist move on their part that the europeans were not facing. I asked for a plug adapter and they kept asking me to return it, behaving as if i was intending to steal it. Same thing happened with cello tape. During check out, I said I’d leave these things in the room as we had too much stuff with us but they absolutely refused and asked me to bring to the reception, where a man ran towards me to take the things back. To top it all off, they checked our room within seconds and charged us 200 baht for the laundry bag which is just a simple cloth bag. We became very angry at this since we had booked 10 days in a high-end resort, double time of the usual booking slots. After spending generously at the bar and restaurant, they charged us for a cloth bag which we have NEVER been charged for before anywhere in the world, even in mid range hotels. I do not recommend staying here if you want to be treated like a guest that has paid a significant amount for hospitality.

We came back again to this lovely hotel and have a nice time for 14 days. Stay 14 days in Oceanfront Pool Villa. Nice villa. Nice private pool. Sun from 9 to 16 in our terrace pool area. Cleaning is good and staff are sweet/nice and the service is good. The area around your larges pool, need a check as there are screws that go up from the wood and the wood also need some oil.

A Dream on Koh Samui

Reviewed By juergenz923

Only a good flight hour from the lively capital Bangkok and a 30 km long transfer, a unique dream world on the Gulf of Thailand awaits you. Away from the tourist hustle and bustle in the north of the island of Koh Samui, InterContinental operates a small hideaway here with less than 80 units (rooms, suites, villas). The entire hotel complex is scattered over a hill and enjoys a fantastic view of the islands of the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding palm-covered island of Koh Samui. Due to the size of the hotel, individual service is almost guaranteed. Our longer stay at this resort was made very pleasant by a more than generous upgrade to a comfortable villa. This was furnished with everything you can expect from a luxury hotel today. The air conditioning also worked flawlessly. To the beach or to the main building you were brought on request with a buggy, which was extremely pleasant due to the hilly location of the hotel complex. Several villas of the complex also have their own small swimming pool. We had the choice between the main pool by the sea or one of the smaller pools scattered throughout the complex, which are available to every guest. Of particular note with all the pools is that the surrounding areas are provided with non-slip tiles, which greatly contributes to the safety of guests. It is particularly noteworthy that the hotel has provided many of the plants on the site with a small sign to familiarize themselves with the name of the trees and shrubs and other details. A great idea! The Club InterContinental, to which we had access, is set up in the open lobby with guaranteed panoramic views and also includes a smaller enclosed space, which is relatively poorly air-conditioned and therefore not particularly inviting. The range of food and drinks in the Club area was outstanding during our stay. Smaller hot dishes were also available. Breakfast was taken in the main restaurant below the Club InterContinental. The service was always very personal and accommodating. The level of food and drinks, their presentation and the wealth of variations corresponded to the high standards of the house. Overall, the guest at IC Koh Samui can expect a very individual service. Not only the friendliness and effectiveness of the entire staff of the house contributes to this, but also and above all the omnipresence of the General Manager Tibor Horvath, who personally exemplifies the high level of service. For this we would like to thank all the employees we met.
