The proprty is somewhat isolated so be aware you will needs a taxi if you want to shopping or dining outside the property. The beach is noice and the property is clean and well maintained. The rooms although dated were clean and comfortable. This would be a good place for couples or families.

A GREAT WEEKEND MARRED BY A STUPID CONFRONTATION
I had a fantastic stay at Ao Cho. Everything went really well until check out. This was because they said I had drank 2 bottles of Evian that day and I believed I had only 1. Now we are talking 47 Baht here! However the Resident Manager Chayut Narkprasit, insisted we check and he then produced a full bottle of Evian which I had left in the room, as I believed it wasn't open, and on scrutiny said 'this has been opened'. I was a bit miffed, (not to mention embarrassed as the reception area was quite busy) and stated that if I had used it I am more than willing to pay the 47B! After spending over 9200B for the weekend I was truly appalled at his manner that he insist that I pay 47B for a bottle of water. This was obviously a genuine error on my part and would have taken the water if I knew/remembered I had opened it. It really was an unnecessary confrontation that marred an otherwise fantastic weekend away. However, Mr Narkprasit should know that because of his attitude and, in my opinion, unprofessional manner, when I choose to return to Koh Samet, (which I will often as I now live in Bangkok, he and his resort will not be receiving any other custom from me! There are plenty of amazing resorts on Koh Samet and he should have the understanding that treating paying guests in such a manner is totally unacceptable.

Great View! The balcony is adjacent to the beach. I booked the Honeymoon room and its same with photo on expedia. The breakfadt is soso. What I love most is that I can enjoy the private beach, just enjoy my time there with the lovely cat. When I want some drink I can just walk 20 seconds to the bar and get a drink. I think I will visit it again next year

Nice, quaint resort. Transportation to Resort is door-step delivery. The massage therapist is outstanding. The rooms are tasteful. Lack of hot water renders the bathtub somewhat obsolete. Rented a scooter through hotel and explored the beautiful island. Nice sunset views from scenic park on south end of Island. I would welcome a return trip to this property.

Quieter Beach
We were a family with grandparents, parents and a small child. This quieter beach with no tour boat drop offs was a good option for us. The beach is within sight of all the rooms and the grounds well kept.

Lovely hotel in a secluded bay
This hotel is right on the beach at Ao Cho. The bay is secluded and it is the only hotel. The restaurant is open plan and tables and chairs are set on the beach. The rooms are in bungalows some facing the beach but most behind. They have lovely walk in showers and air con plus mosquito nets. There are wardrobes with drawers and on the patio table and chairs. There is a massage area which faces the beach. The hotel has kayaks to hire.The bay is very good for swimming as it gets deep quickly and the sand is very soft.it is an easy walk over the headland to Ao Wong Dueon beach with a selection of cafes and restaurants

Very happy =)
Lovely little resort in a beautiful location. Excellent friendly staff in all capacities (front desk, bar, wait, cleaning, maintenance etc.) Great breakfast every day. Clean room with large, clean bathroom. Definitely would stay again. @management: One minor thing - there are good quality curtains on most of the windows, except for the frosted glass windows that face the external walkways, which are *lit up at night* (at least for rooms A5 & A6.) While it was lots of fun to improvise curtains out of the cupboard door & dressing gowns, might I suggest putting some curtains or blinds over these particular windows. 5 stars =)

A great place to escape to
We had a fantastic stay at the hotel staying in one of the Ocean Front Suites. The room was spacious and very comfortable and nature took care of the amazing view! The hotel staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The beach is clean and although not a massive amount to see, we enjoyed some snorkelling just off shore. We look forward to returning!

Good resort
It was nice resort and all staff were really helpful. The private beach was quite quiet but sand had many shell particles. But when you walk for 5mins, you can see busier beach where sands are fine. Hotel restaurant service is not that good though...

Very nice and relaxing hotel
We had a very nice stay for 5 days. The hotel staff was very nice, the room was perfect very big bed and the bathroom was also more than big enough. The beach and views are beautiful, quiet, and very relaxing. Restaurant was good but there are also other choices near by. We will be back to stay here again.

Luxurious secluded island get-away
The hotel was luxurious, the staff was extremely professional and friendly and the area was secluded. For anyone looking for a secluded get-away destination in the island, this is your place.

Definitely on a quiet and secluded part of the island. It was extremely relaxing to get away from the crowds, though it took some effort and cash to get there (ferry 100B, taxi 100B, park entrance fee 200B) The hotel itself has clean and very comfortable bungalows and from walking around much much nicer than any of the neigbouring accommodations. There is a pretty private beach right out front. The hotel has a restaurant for lunches, dinners and drinks but can get a bit monotonous. English ability of the staff is quite low and limited.

Mixed Bag
There are 3 or 4 braces within 2/3 minutes walk. My Kingsize bed was made up of two single beds joined together, covered with the King sheet! Bathroom had one hot and one cold shower shower heads. No hands free showers! (a resort?). The so-called robes were Winter wear in 90F (35C) degree temperatures, virtually, useless. The sleepers provided were used by dozens of guests before me, again, virtually useless. Generous supplies of shampoo, conditioner, body soap,tooth brush, paste, lotion. It is two star resort at the price of four star.

Close to the beach in quiet bay
Location is the best thing about the resort on a sandy bay where you can swim regardless of the tide. Basic sun longed and umbrellas on the beach. Most of the staff seemed disinterested which seems to a theme Samet. Breakfast OK but a lot of flies and they didn't cover the food well. Had a room next to some kind of drain so often a bad smell when sitting on the deck Lots of mosquito and sandfly A few other bars and restaurants on the beach but if you want be more entertained talk a walk over the headland to the very busy Wongduan beach. Best for the peace and quiet but not too far away from more action if that's what you want
