Great Location Even Better Owner

Review of Cocooning Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 16, 2018
I stayed here for a few nights last week when I needed emergency dental work done. The owner, Dave, was such an awesome guy who made the transition to Samui life a breeze. He helped explain the good places to eat, where to find a nice drink, and made us feel like family.

The room itself was clean, modern, and very comfortable. Located just on the beginning of Fisherman's Village you get all of the benefits without the noise and hustle/bustle.

If you want to stay in a quiet hotel conveniently located in Fisherman's Village here is the place. Dave will make you feel right at home and I for one would not stay at any other place when I go back.

This was my 3rd time staying on Samui and Cocooning was by far my favourite place I’ve stayed.

My girlfriend and I recently stayed at Cocooning hotel and were blown away by how amazing it was. Dave and Therese (the owners) welcomed us on arrival. From the minute we got there until when we left they were unbelievably helpful, from beach and restaurant recommendations to which tailors to go to, they helped us out with proper local knowledge.

In terms of location Cocooning is perfect. A lot of the hotels in Fisherman’s Village would be too loud at night for us as we wanted a relaxed and romantic break. Cocooning is just at the start of the village so nice and quiet, yet two minutes walk away you are in the thick of things.

Overall a brilliant place to stay and fantastically helpful owners. Next time I’m in Samui I will 100% stay here again!

I stayed here for one night. It’s comfy and clean. Room is very basic . Air con and fan worked well. Best thing about it though is the location. Bophut Fisherman’s Village is lots of fun and the beach is also beautiful.

Cocooning's location is it's main draw-card: right on the Fisherman's Village walking street, and directly across from the beach. The rooms are perfect, and so amazing for the unbelievably cheap price! I've stayed in the Standard rooms, and the Suite. Standard rooms: aircon, CLEAN, tastefully decorated, comfortable bed, fridge, great wifi (and I work when travelling), nice bathroom, TV, and either a balcony or courtyard; everything you could possibly need. The Suite is fantastic: all of the Standard features, yet double-level, with a mezzanine-style bedroom, a full living area, and overlooks the famous Fisherman's markets. The staff are lovely and helpful with directions, recommendations, and transportation, and this comes from the fantastic owners, Dave and Therese, who will help you out in anyway, or have a drink and a chat in the bar/reception area downstairs. For comfort, and mostly location, you will not find a better price and option than Cocooning.

Room tip: Ask for a room at the back if noise is an issue, but remember that it is on the market street.

Cocooning Hotel is located on the front stretch of Fisherman's Village, towards one end so it's not too noisy, but still in the middle of the action. Although it doesn't have a pool, it's a mere 30m walk to the beach and, if you order a drink, you can swim in the pool at either of the hotels opposite which was a great option! The bedrooms are spotless and comfortable, although the air conditioners proved to be fairly noisy. Tip: Ask for a quiet option on booking :) Dave, the owner, is a font of information having lived on the islands for almost two decades. Every single suggestion he made was spot on and he ensured his staff were on hand to call and book taxis etc at a moment's notice. The staff were delightful and made us feel very welcome. They were quick to arrange for washing to be taken to the nearby laundry (for only 100baht for a huge bag) or serve another cup of delicious coffee. Best of all is that on Friday nights this fairly quiet street is transformed when it is closed to traffic and becomes Bophut's Walking Street with a buzzing market the entire length. The little bar next door opens for it's one night a week and the village becomes party central till midnight. We cannot recommend Cocooning highly enough. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we extended our stay there by 5 nights and will be back next year.
