We were in Koh Samed during the Christmas week which is the peak season. We booked this hotel online and were not expecting a posh room with sea view.

But when we reached the place and saw the room, the room was so close the beach..it was almost on the beach itself....we even had the side view of the sea. Ofcourse the view depends on your luck and which room you get.. the room we got was very close.

The breakfast nothing to write home about, but the waiters were lovely.

The hotel staff at the reception needs to learn how to talk and smile to the customer. they were the serious lot i have a ever come across... especially in a land of smiles..these people were a disappointment

Apart from that the room itself was a decent one for the price we paid and the view of the sea was a bonus.. it is close to all the night time bars and restaurant..except that at the time we were there it was too crowded..it is located in the most popular and crowded beach of koh samed

I would recommend this hotel to others who like being in the middle of all the happening night spots.

Had the first room off reception. A little cramped but the price and location were terrific. The reception staff are not the friendliest but the waiters are fantastic and the food at the restaurant terrific. Eating dinner on the sand is a nice touch too.

The room only had a fan but overall it was not uncomfortable. we had no bugs, which was not always the case in Thailand

Be wary that there are tons of dogs that just roam around. They are all harmless; too hot to do anything else!

Breakfast in the morning does the job and is tasty. The beaches on Koh Samet are lovely.

I recommend. I know there are some rooms built in the woods; not sure I fancy that with all creepie crawlies, snakes etc. but we had a seaside room in the main building for a week and all was good.

We had the first room close to the see and very close to a water tank that was filling all day and night long. No way to get a rest with this engine sound. No window to open. Darkness. Never has a smile from the reception staff in 4 days. Not ever a "thank you" or "you are welcome". Don'ts ask them to look at you when you are talking to them. I guess they are waiting the guests to tell them: "thank you for letting us to be in your hotel". You can get this warm welcome for just 70 US $. No breakfast. And if you order it, the next day you won't.
