Large buildings built into a hill; several villas. Terrible beach, super shallow and muddy water. Dinner at their Western restaurant Tawann was bad and expensive. Meat was not cooked correct (we ordered medium-rare) and didn't taste too fresh anymore. A lot of fat at lamb chops. usually australian lamb doesn't look like this. More

Having decided to travel to Koh Samui for my birthday, I researched the possible hotels and chose the Renaissance, I was not disappointed. This is a first class resort if you are looking for a relaxing holiday in stunning surroundings with a loved one.

The wedding went without a hitch and was memorably perfect thanks to the Renaissance's wedding organiser's expertise and... More

The wedding was amazing and the staff did everything they could to make sure the whole day ran perfectly, especially Wat and Berndt, they were so helpful and nothing was to much trouble.... More
