Stayed for first two weeks in April (rained almost on a daily basis and barely saw the sun!) Villas were nicely furnished and decorated tho the food didnt satisfy the 5 star criteria. The "private beach" was atrocious with rocks and pebbles and it is definitely NOT a place to swim. The hotel was very isolated from rest of the... more

As anyone who has read any of my previous reviews knows I’m very fussy however so far as Karma Samui was concerned I had no major complaints. On arrival we were greeted by the manager and told our room was ready (we had arrived 2 hours before check in time). We were taken to our villa by a gracious member... more

From start to finish, we were treated like royalty. The location is perfect, away from busy Chaweng, yet only 5 mins away by car. You get collected by them in a lovely car, with water and cold towels. It is only 5 mins from the airport, so that's easy. On arrival you are taken by buggy to your villa. The... more

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to be welcomed to Karma Samui! From arrival to departure the team at Karma were absolutely fabulous. The resort manager, Mark is a fellow Australian and very welcoming, everything you would expect from a brilliant hotel manager. After having an unpleasant stay in another resort prior to coming to Karma, he went out... more

A family group of 7 of us (2 couples & 3 adult children) from Australia were attending a wedding in Koh Samui and in order for us to stay together we needed somewhere with at least 5 bedrooms. We searched the net and found that Holiday Velvet in the UK had a 5 bedroom privately owned villa at Karma Samui... more

We originally decided after reviewing Conde Naste to go to The Six Senses Resort or the Four Seasons Resort for 4 days. However after a lot of searching we decided to go with Karma Samui. It offered what appeared great villa's all with ocean view and a luxury pool. Well when we arived we were greeted by the extremely nice... more

How sad that we had only three days in this lovely place. Karma Samui had some of the most friendly and helpful staff I have ever encountered. The GM, Mark made sure that the welcome reflected the standard of care which Karma sets out to provide. The villa was heavenly, beautifully equipped with a huge pool and jacuzzi and everything... more

I stayed for one night at the Karma Samui, and it is perhaps the worst experience I have had at a luxury beach resort. Firstly, the location. The reception opens directly onto a main road, with passing traffic being able to look into the hotel lobby. Looks like a 3 star hotel entrance (at best). First supposedly luxury hotel I... more
