"Quiet location up on the cliff with great views out to the ocean and surrounding beaches. Spacious, well maintained rooms with a private swimming pool. Staff were very friendly and exceedingly helpful, nothing was a bother. Restaurant on site was very nice. Being based up on the cliff made it a little more difficult to explore local restaurants, etc. but the property provided transport to and from anywhere we needed to go. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing Koh Samui...

Stayed at Popppies for 12 nights - what a wonderful place. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful - starting right from the pickup from the airport with cold drinks and face cloths in the taxi. It is situated in an ideal location right on the beach in the middle of all the amenities - but sufficiently secluded as to believe you were in a little oasis cut off from the rest of the busy resort. Loved the little personal touches of the place and its uniqueness - would definitely recommend...

Had a 2 week stay at this hotel and from the moment we arrived it was amazing. Staff are very friendly, attentive and professional. All the food in the hotel (and believe me we tried pretty much all of it) was brilliant. Short walk along the beach to Bophut Fishing village with more bars, restaurants and shops. Only negative was that the holiday ended too early. Would definitely go back.
