Det var rent och snyggt överallt. Men hela bygget luktar mögel/fukt som Àven satt kvar i handdukarna till stranden.Poolen mestadels i skuggan. Frukosten kunde varit lite bÀttre. Odrickbart kaffe och endast en sorts te och bara apelsinjuice. För övrigt mycket trevlig personal pÄ dagen. Mindre trevligt pÄ natten, dÄ personal pÄ plats inte kan hÀlsa eller ens ta blicken frÄn sin mobil. DÄligt med butiker men gott om "vuxenmassage".

TrÀningsresa pÄ egen hand

Har bott i samma hotell tre gÄnger innan. Mars Àr betydligt bÀttre Àn november dÄ det Àr mindre turister. Bra lÀge med goda restauranger nÀra. GÄngavstÄnd till en privat strand var det finns gratis solstolar och parasoll, dock inte samma utbud under november mÄnad. Bra pool och wifi i hotellet. Gratis parkering pÄ bottenvÄningen. Frukost var bra under mars mÄnad men inte under november mÄnad. VÀnlig personal. Inga safety box i rummet men det fanns en i receptionen. NÀrliggande gata Àr trafikerad. Bra att bo pÄ 3-4 vÄning. Det finns ingen hiss. Tog trappor som trÀning. PrisvÀrd boende.

Trevlig vistelse pÄ Koh Samui

Vi var tre personer som rest pÄ egen hand i Thailand. Första intrycket av hotellet var bra, rent och vÀlkomnande. Första frukosten var en besvikelse, men frukostarna blev betydligt bÀttre senare. Det var jÀttebra att hotellet hade en privat strand dÀr hotellets gÀster fick anvÀnda solstolar gratis. Hotellet var till stor del nyrenoverat, men vissa saker var inte utbytta, som t e x duschar och AC-anlÀggningar. Superbra annars! Vi hade en fin vistelse pÄ Koh Samui och hotell First Residence.
