hotel room was a disappointment. it looked good, no doubt, but it had a terrible bug problem. the bath tub was lined with dead flies (i might be exaggerating cos i really hate insects but you get it.. my friend had to wash the flies down with water). there was a dragonfly wing on the bed (UNDER THE SHEETS). from... more

We stayed here for 4 nights recently in a pool villa after having spent 5 nights at the Impiana in Chaweng Noi. I expected a bit more from this place with it being 5 star and all - the room was a tad filthy (the shower needed a very good clean), our air conditioner broke and we woke up to... more

It seems to be a common problem at this and other Quality Vacation Club (QVC) hotels. People are given a scratch card and told they have won a "dream vacation". Turns out it's in a 2 star dump. The Thai staff at The Samudra are very nice and well presented at all times. The rooms are ok, but it's a... more

We were roped into this place and showed around. The we took a salespitch from one of the many Quality Vacation Club (QVC)staff that were there. They told us all the wounderfull things about being a member. However, none of it was true as we found out when we went to book our next vacation, we got right royally screwed... more

We had a wonderful 7 night stay at the Samudra Retreat and loved every minute of it. It is in a fantastic location, very peaceful and on a cliff overlooking the beach. We hired a scooter for the whole of our stay, which i would definately recommend. It certainly makes it easier to get around. The beach is not the... more

Me and my husband stayed here as part of our Honeymoon. We had a Lotus pool villa which was gorgeous. The pool was a decent size and had a jucazzi section at one end. Which was a nice place to enjoy the bottle of bubbly the hotel left us in our room to celebrate our honeymoon! The villa itself was... more

I have recently returned from my honeymoon in Koh Samui and it was the best holiday we have ever had. I am sad to read some of the previous reviews as we had a fantastic time at the Samudra and couldn't fault a thing. It was our first trip to Thailand and booked the hotel and flights online. We arrived... more

My stay at the Samudra Retreat has turned into one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had and the most over priced. We booked the hotel through a travel website. When we checked in our booking was handled no problem and the staff were very friendly. They asked us to book our table for their new years eve... more

The Samudra is a beautiful resort that offers excellent value for money. We went on honeymoon there for 8 days and I couldnt fault it. The staff were helpful, friendly and very efficent. We booked one of the rooms with the shared pool but were given an upgrade to a pool villa upon arrival. The villa was amazing, spacious, immaculately... more
