5 nights was too long in the Samui Island Beach Resort, our stay was disappointing to put it mildly. This is not a Resort – it has a non existant beach, poor food, dated - over-priced rooms, construction work going on 3 sides of the hotel. You will find better value for money elsewhere. It is at the top of... more

We travelled to this resort after visiting the Cliff and Jungle resort in Surat Thani. It was therefore easy to compare the two. The first was remote and relaxing. This was the opposite. Full of western tourists, very loud with fireworks lots of drinking on the beach. The place is beautiful but was rather spoiled by the mess left after... more

We've stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in August 2008 and the experience was nothing less than disappointing. In the fantasy island of Koh Samui this so called RESORT has a nonexistant beach, obsolete rooms, unfriendly stuff and the most untasty breakfast. And this is not all. The greatest disappointment of all came in the end of our stay... more

My husband and I visited Samui during peak tourist season and had a pleasant stay here for 3 nights. We had initially reserved a standard room which was not nice at all - completely basic, tiny room and bathroom with no shower curtain! We expressed our disappointment at the front desk. They were extremely understaning and moved us into the... more

Poor facilities, rude staff, dirty pool, over-priced, nowhere near the town and generally depressing. We were travelling all round South East Asia and this was the worst hotel we came across. Just awful more

Overall a very mediocre experience. The hotel has great potential, but in my opinion is let down by a seeming lack of visible management. Everything is very hit or miss in this establishment, mostly depending on who serves you, whether it be in reception or in the bar or the night porter. One evening for example, on returning to the... more

I spent five days at the Samui Island Beach Resort in November 2006 and can only advise would-be travellers to stay away. Aside from the obvious problems of the lack of beach, distance from centre and charmless POW camp style accommodation with a smell of damp, the real issue came when we tried to check out. We had asked for... more

We stayed at the Samui Island Resort, Chaweng, Koh Samui for two nights in October 2006. The resort itself is located out of the way so necessitates a need for taxis to get you to the main strip (the lack of footways makes it unsafe to walk). The pool is tiny and looked dirty. Breakfast on the first day was... more

The problems with this establishment are too numerous to detail. To be really picky, let's start with the name. This "Resort" doesn't have a beach or beach access. The basic bungalows are across the street from the "Deluxe" bungalows and the "beach" is concrete steps leading from the pool deck into the water. The basic bungalows are small, dark and... more
