We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights, it was simply excellent, beautiful hotel, excellent pool, magical beach with white sand, the hotel allows you to take SUP and kayaks, is on the beach, the main street - 2 minutes and a whole world of restaurants and massages. Bottom line - we will be back again

Unpleasantly Surprised

Check in was slow, plus we were interrupted halfway through while three of them dealt with another customer who just walked through the door. Very odd. The rooms were quite pokey, with quite a strange configuration. No draft beer or beers offered during happy hour, only cocktails. Place is very quiet in the evening - the pool bar is none existent. This hotel is about a 10/15 minute walk to the action, very quiet and quite run down surroundings. For the money they’re charging guests it should be a lot better than it is. I believe they work on a charge as much as you can policy because I doubt they get any repeat business.

Very relaxing hotel in a beautiful location

Our favourite hotel and location during our recent trip to south Thailand. Great facilities in the room (toiletries /beach towels etc) and very quiet. Pool and beach location was stunning, free use of paddle board and kayak. Always a bed free and never overcrowded. Breakfast was lovely, we particularly liked the range of fruit available and the egg station. We used bar for lunch and cocktails during the day which were also great quality. The hotel also did a free trip to the local hill top temple, this was a lovely touch. Overall a very relaxing hotel in a beautiful location

Unfortunately this hotel didn’t live up to expectations after reading previous reviews. Check in wasn’t great as only 1 person on reception and lots of people collecting keys at 2pm. No assistance with luggage to room. Room was exceptionally small. On the plus side the pool and restaurant area was very well looked after with helpful staff. Access directly onto beach with hotel sunbeds available.

It is far enough away from the center of Chaweng to offer some peace, but close enough to walk into town easily. Rooms are very very small, but clean. Breakfast was good, pool area is nice. However, if you like to swim in the ocean, this beach is not the place for you. It is super shallow and rocky.

great beach hotel

Excellent hotel, lovely rooms, great pools. breakfast facing the beach is a lovely way to start the day. Staff are friendly and efficient. I have been coming to Samui for over 20 years, its a shame to see that a lot of beach hotels didn't survive Covid and lack of tourist, but this hotel which opened it doors just before is a real bacon of hope for the tourist industry in this wonderful country

Boutique hotel in chaweng

Cute boutique hotel with a couple of pools and on beautiful Chaweng beach. Convenient location. My sea view suite was on first floor so it’s really pool view with slight sea view. Room was large. The pool gets noisy with families and children. Checkin was total chaos taking over 40 min as there was one receptionist and a large family ahead. Food was decent. Also the hotel guests all put down towels on the beach chaises very early like 8am . The hotel is convenient. Also a nice sunrise
