I have spent 5 nights in May in Anantara with my boyfriend and it was probably the most relaxing holiday I had in some time. The setting of the hotel is really amazing, with lush gardens, great beach, cute library. Our villa was beautiful with very comfortable bed, spacious bathroom and nice setting in the garden. We chose to arrive... More

I was concerned before my arrival at reading some less than positive reviews. I cannot understand how anyone could give this resort less than 5. It is fantastic.

I booked the accommodation about 50 days in advance (I remember counting the days with my trainer) and was looking forward to a break from my stressful work. The waiting lounge by the port in Koh Samui already served a wonderful start to my vacation. We were given refreshing cold towel and fresh drink after going through a long queue... More

Very nice service. Great beach and sea water temperature. The food in the hotel is expensive but outside are several alternatives of price and menu. Space to walk on the beach. Possibility to arrange trips by sea or around the Island. Don't loose the full (or half) moon party.
