I would definitely stay here again. Very nice resort with a beach bar, pool, nice views. We stayed 3 nights but you could spend a week on this resort easily. Once you leave the resort, it’s fairly busy place. We scootered everywhere but the roads are definitely not as smooth as other places we’ve scootered around in Thailand.

We hoped for a beachfront bungalow or cottage and this turned out to be better than we ever expected. The beach was close to the room, the ocean was warm and clear, it was the best wave pool I’ve ever seen.

The restaurant for breakfast was far away. The breakfast wasn't particularly good, not a big selection. The large swimming pool was not cooled, it was like bath water. Very unfortunate. The location of the resort to the city was very far without TucTuc and the TucTuc prices were very high. The resort itself was quite nice. But very quiet and somewhat remote.

The hotel staffs are helpful and friendly especially the cleaning lady name Aey. Zen at the reception desk check us in and help with the luggage. I booked this single room near the beach for a year. The room and overall hotel is outdated with basic amenities. If I have to pay more than I did it wouldn't be worth it. The beach has a huge rough rocks when you went into the water so it is pretty dangerous especially when the waves are coming in strong and knocked you down. The beach chairs and mats are pretty old and cracked. The room itself has lots of openings cracks and holes that lots of air conditioning and critters in and out of the room. Our bathroom pipes has an issue on the second day so we can hear them working on it and we later has no cold water in the sink. We have no phone in the room so we need to walk from the beach front to the front of the hotel to communicate with the receptionist. They have Line app which you can download but I don't know how often they check all the customers questions so it is best to go to whoever is working at the front desk. We would not stay here again if we were to go back to Samui. I rather stay at Cosi because it is right in town next to Samui central plaza and supermarket and night market. Samui has no sidewalk for anyone to walk. It is so busy with motorcycles and taxi and big white vans they would want to run you over. It is full of long term stayed tourists with family or couples and they drive crazy on the motorcycle. No rules.

The beach is beautiful but beware of booking a “beachside bungalow”. They’re not all exactly on the front row of the beach. Ours was a bit further back. Only like 10 seconds walk but we couldn’t really see the sea. Try to book/ask for front row beachside.
It’s quite a basic hotel… but authentic Thai style. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and a short taxi to Chaweng.

Very comfortable rooms, nice beds, lovely pool,I loved the ponds outside the rooms. Yummy breakfast. My only concern was the fridge and TV socket was very dodgy the fridge kept turning off, and the connection to the TV was making crackling noises. So I managed to pull the TV plug out to stop it from sparking, it looked to me that the plug socket was broken.

Amazing relaxing time here.
We had a beach bungalow (sea view) room 753.
Absolutely stunning view of the beach and sea..
And literally steps away from your sunbed…
Will definitely be returning..
