My wife and I just returned from a three week vacation in Thailand and both agree that the week we spent at the Renaissance was superb. Our impression is that this is a small boutique resort situated in lush tropical gardens directly on the beach. As a Marriott rewards platinum members were upgraded to a garden villa and it was...

Just spent a week here in a room 102 - seriously blissed out - BUT we were looking for peace and quiet - probably too quiet if you want easy a access to night life etc. Prices for F & B higher than local caffeand service bit iffy sometimes, just not coordinated on one night! The resort is spotless and... More

The Renaissance Koh Samui was heaven on earth to us. During our stay in the resort we were amazed by the tremendous effort and dedication every single staff member showed us. Having breakfast was like a warm welcome. Koi and her team even knew our drinks and always made sure that our favorite table on the balcony was available. Besides... More

This hotel is trying to be a 'resort', but it's just not quite there. Good things: The staff are all very helpful and chatty, and we loved the pools. The breakfast buffet (pancakes and omelets made to order) is amazing, and you are spoiled for choice. Not so good things: Although the villas are nicely decorated, the floor was a... More

I think the hotel has ben here for about 13 years but only taken over by the Renaissance a couple of years ago. The hotel is in beautiful grounds and sympathetically built in its environment unlike the Conrad Hilton - a blot on the landscape. Having said that it is a bit out of the way and you get ripped...

A wonderful hotel in a wonderful spot. We just returned from our stay of 7 days and miss it already. The hotel is wonderfully situated off the main road and right on a nice stretch of beach. It was nice to be away from all the action and secluded a bit as it made it much more relaxing. The hotel... More

We have stayed 5 days with my husband and infant baby. The main pool area and the beach were really great. Very tranquil and awesome, we enjoyed very much. Breakfast is rich, all major comfort dishes plus some thai ones + good selection of fresh juice and fruits. This is it. But staff and shabby facilities need urgent upgrade. Front... More

I stayed with my dad in a deluxe room, which are beautiful. Plenty of light, bathroom on the balcony. The hotel vegetation was great, splendid swimming pool and beach side very nice. The staff is very friendly. Good breakfast. Massage and spa I recommend. Service is quite good, well staff do not all speak perfectly english so you might have... More

I travel extensively around the world (150+ nites/yr ) & stay in a variety of base-level to boutique to luxury hotels - primarily Marriott, Starwood, etc. I recently booked 2rms for a family vacation & was delighted by the property & service at the Koh Samui Renaissance! The location is quiet & private, yet close to any island activities. The... More
