"What a fantastic hotel! Unbelievable value for what you get. Huge pool, very clean and spacious rooms, unbeatable location on Choeng Mon beach. Such a lovely area - sandy beach with calm, warm sea and many lovely beach bars and restaurants. Also fantastic cafes on the main road for breakfast / brunch. Very chilled vibe.

"Only stayed one night but it was clean and comfortable and excellent value for money.... A perfect place to stay if you need to be at the airport early (like I did) and are just wanting a bed for the night. Close to everything you need.... Bars, shops, restaurants, 7/11, etc etc. The girl who runs the place was an absolute saviour when the taxi that I booked to take me to the airport failed to show up.... She very generously offered to take me in her car.... Can't thank her enough. 🙏 I'd stay...

Top Big Buddha Temple Hotel Reviews

Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui

10/10 Excellent

"I will be back again really beautiful beach great service"

Hyatt Regency Koh Samui

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Punnpreeda Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was good overall, and the stay was comfortable. The main inconvenience was the lack of on site parking, with only street parking available, which can be challenging. Breakfast was acceptable, although it was fairly standard and didn’t particularly stand out. We also experienced an issue with our room door not securing properly. We made do for the few nights we were there, but this is certainly something that should be addressed for future guests. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, with a few areas that could be improved."

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay staff where very helpful"

The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel on Samui island. The staff are incredible, the hotel beautifully maintained and so large you feel like you’re truly away from it all. Don’t miss out on visiting the spa (try the coconut flow), or taking one of the complimentary gym classes (Muay Thai training with Mik and Sean was absolutely fantastic!) Last but not least, the food and restaurants. Aum took brilliant care of us at Breakfast, Jakky supplied endless fresh coconuts at the pool bar, One Rai was unbelievably good (special thanks to Raj & chef Armaan who explained so much about the flavours and dishes) and also Pak Thai for traditional Thai food (Beauty was incredible with her food recommendations and education on local dishes!). Also don’t miss the Fire show on the beach after dinner! We can’t wait to come back!"

Skye Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious. The view was spectacular! Just like the photos. Staff were pleasant and helpful. They listened to our requests and did their best to make them happen. We enjoyed watching the planes fly past. Overall it was a wonderful holiday!"

Deva Beach Resort Samui

10/10 Excellent

"This was an awesome find. The room was spacious and private with a nice balcony overlooking one of the pools. There are several pools onsite. The balcony was complete with a spa bath big enough for 2 comfortably. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great and the setting overlooking the beach with the sea breeze was an awesome start to the day. I would definitely stay here again. The area was full of fantastic local dining spots. We sampled many in our 8 night stay."

Kimpton Kitalay Samui by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of three (husband, myself and 7 year old daughter), have just returned from an almost two week stay at Kimpton Kitalay. We had an incredible time at the hotel. The room was clean, spacious and we loved the nightly treats whether it’s a face mask or toffees. There is always an attendant in your block of rooms if you need extra towels or a quick refresh. We made so much use of the balcony, such relaxing couches to read and wind down in peace. The breakfast buffets were excellent, the hotel catered for our dietary requirements, even making my daughter gluten free, vegan pancakes and muffins! Shoutout to Chef Banana who did a Thai cooking class for me and my daughter, such a special experience. The kids club is lovely, plenty of activities for children to get involved with. The spa is fantastic, shoutout to Peng who provided the most relaxing massage I have ever had. The infinity pool and the room access pools were well maintained and clean, never felt too busy. The hotel is on a stretch of public beach where you can access water sports, food places, massages on the beach etc. Overall, one of the best stays we have had, all staff is friendly and helpful, food was delicious and the hotel itself was impeccable. Would love to return!"

Private Thai style villa with private pool

10/10 Excellent

"Mes 3 enfants mon mari et moi avons passé des vacances de rêve dans cette Villa paradisiaque. On ne pouvait pas rêver mieux, piscine incroyable et chauffée, intérieur magnifique superbement aménagé et emplacement idéal pour les excursions. Merci aux propriétaires qui ont toujours répondu présent pour nous répondre. Je ne peux que recommander cette villa qui est encore mieux que ce que nous pouvions imaginer. Mon petit garçon de 10 ans avait les larmes aux yeux en partant...."
