    Quiet, family friendly, perfect for disconnecting, great sunset views

    Facilities are a bit dated and could use a facelift, however grounds and pools were clean and gym and sports equipment were new. Breakfast menu a bit samey after a few days but probably due to the low numbers of guests at the time we went (it's not high season). If you have special needs (milk alternatives, gluten free bread), bring your own - it's an island after all. Drinks at the bar and restaurant food were quite expensive. In the evenings we enjoyed walking down the beach at low tide and having dinner at one of the beachside restaurants if we did not want dinner in the restaurant. In all, nothing to complain about. We'd be happy to come back.

    Great location at the quiet end of the island, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the private beach strip free of boats and hearing the wind and exotic birds. Family friendly atmosphere. Manager Axel and his staff were very friendly and helpful in meeting all of our needs. Khun Art will make you a great omelette with fresh chili in the morning - he's also a great info source if you plan to travel to other parts of the country. Ask for the coconut shake! Plunge pool villas were great for cooling off in the abnormally high temperatures. Fantastic views of the sunset every evening!

    no shade at the main pool. food was only average. a long way from any shops. no entertainment and very little onsite activities. there was broken glass in the sand outside the resort - thought someone would pick it up - but didn't. private pool didn't get cleaned while we were there and the algae build up could be felt on the bottom and sides of the pool. The atmosphere was very thick with smoke and smog - not the resort's fault, but I definitely won't be visiting Koh Samui again in January.

    private pool was great. Thai massage onsite was superb. Kayaking was great. Staff were very friendly, but not very knowledgable about things to do at Koh Samui.

    Location was not the great. You have to get a taxi or scooter to leave and there isn’t much around. The town nearby closes early as it’s not busy. Quite a drive to Chaweng which is the main area.

    Grounds were very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a good size. Full length mirror. Rent scooter from reception. Two pools very good size. Beach beautiful. Best hotel for sunsets!

    • Beachfront villa with private pool
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Beach had a lot of litter strewn around, juices at breakfast were not chilled, room air conditioner didn't work one night, undercooked chicken for dinner. People should not be permitted to smoke in the restaurant - it's hard enough to breathe in Koh Samui (due to the high smog levels) if you're asthmatic, but when there is smoke too it makes it very uncomfortable. Big pools didn't have any shade around them. We had to pay fixed price to go down the road 8 minutes for 400 Baht - should have been free or much less. We were there for 5 days and the pool wasn't once cleaned - the bottom and sides got quite slimey.

    private pool, great variety at breakfast (especially fruit), spacious rooms, comfortable bed, fantastic masseuse (Patty), friendly and happy staff, happy hour

    A little bit isolated especially of an evening, fisherman’s village is around a 35 minute drive away and cost around 600 BHT which wasn’t overly expensive but may hinder some people.

    The pool and private beach were amazingly quiet, bar provided a happy hour and there was a good standard gym for a hotel. The spa was of good value and it is easy to walk the whole complex in under 10 mins for those who struggle on their feet.

    - the bar in the evening was not convincing you to stay and have a drink. Some adjustments can make a difference in making people stay in the resort ( e.g. pool table, happy hour,…)

    The only downside is that it is located a little further away from the touristic areas, but still douable if taking a taxi or renting a scooter.

    This is a place where you truly can relax after travelling around in Thailand. The resort is locates 30 minutes from the airport in a peaceful environment. The staff is very kind and always up for a chat or help you with questions. If you want something arranged as going places they will help you with a taxi. As for the neighbourhood it is further from the touristic places but is has some nice restaurants located just walking distance from the resort, or if you want to stay in you can have dinner at the restaurant at the resort.

    Sometimes the drains smelt, and both pools were closed which we didn't know prior to booking.

    We stayed towards the end of June 2023, and we were in the 'off season' and it felt like we had the whole resort to ourselves!! Both pools were under construction but they looked lovely. The bar staff (What) was lovely and couldn't recommend him enough - he was so interested and caring really makes a difference!

    No activity (was before the peak period) and the restaurant is good but expensive. In the end we stayed the morning to practice sports, have breakfast and enjoy the swimming pool but then used scooters to move to other places the afternoons and evening. Would have been great to have a few activities + snooker at the resort

    Great resort with Nice trees and swimming pools. Great breakfast
