I chose the Waterfront because of what seems like unanimous praise for the property on Tripadvisor. But I was underwhelmed. I really liked the bedroom with its crisp white sheets and decorated liberally with orchids. The British couple that run the place are so friendly and hospitable; I really enjoyed meeting them. For me, there were a few minor downsides,... more

From the moment you arrive at The Waterfront you are made to feel at home. We were greeted by Robin, the very charming (if slightly eccentric) owner who did his utmost to ensure we had a relaxing, enjoyable and memorable stay. From the perfect views and comfortable deck chairs to all the wonderful restaurants a short walk away in the... more

We stayed here 9 nights. The hotel was great, room was clean and the whole place was very beautiful and peaceful. The view was amazing. Beach was nice and not crowded but the water level was too low for swimming. There was a better beach to swim just a few minutes walk from the hotel. At the hotel there was... more

We just returned from spending 8 nights at the Waterfront, it was fantastic. It was one of the most easy going and relaxed places we've ever stayed at. The view of the islands from the hotel is stunning and the beach is the quietest we've ever been on. If you've been to Samui before you will know that the beaches... more

FAb, fab, fab, fab!! We loved the hotel so much that we extended our stay by 9 days - a total of 27 days in all! We were met by Michael, the son of the owners and a great guy, who gave us a guided tour of Bophut and the Fisherman's Village. After our "Welcome drink" we were shown to... more

We spent a fabulous fortnight at The Waterfront last year and are returning again this year. I never saw a single cockroach in our tastefully decorated bungalow, the staff clean meticulously, the pool is thoroughly cleaned each morning - and there are even aerosol insect sprays provided in each room should you need it for the odd mossie that might... more

On reading some of the more recent reviews namely 'chelseacasual' (is that a joke name or what)and the other one star review I can only surmise that the Waterfront is a victim of its own success and these reviews have somehow been posted by the opposition who are jealous of their success. How else can you explain remarks that bare... more

Stayed here for two weeks and loved every minute of it. Free pick up from the airport and made to feel very welcome as soon as I arrived with complementary welcome drink. The staff are very cheerful and attentive to your needs here. Food is very good - Thai and western menu and the breakfast is included in the price... more

Our family just returned after a great stay at the Waterfront. We booked the family bungalow which was perfect for a family of four with two children. Michael was right there to pick us up at the airport and give us a quick drive thru of the local village of Bophut. Upon arrival Robin gave us a quick overview of... more
