Ko Samui hotels in Bo Phut - Chawen Noi - Choeng Mun

Pros: Overall it’s a nice resort but very standard. The ratings are mostly from first time five star Koh Samui Traveler, don’t be mislead this resort can’t compete with the Ritz, Six Sense or Banyan Tree, I stayed in all of them. The villas are nice and comfy but nothing special. The staff is friendly but not as professional as in other hotels in that category, the little extra is always missing. For example, in every five star resort where I’m paying 400-600$ a night my breakfast which is served to the room is being built up nicely, not just placed in the room and all covers are still left on the meals. The fine things are totally missing, no attention to details. Again, it’s a good place to stay but if you can check into the Ritz for the same $, then go for the Ritz.

Cons: It’s super noisy from 08:00AM to 07:00PM as a new building is being constructed right next to the resort.

Pros: Very friendly and accommodating staff, one of my best stays by far. The facilities are fantastic and extremely clean. Will definitely come back to this resort

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The quietness and the small little details of inside the room and resort and so clean ,also the all staff was excellent i really enjoyed my stay The staff surprised me with a birthday cake at 12 am i really loved it and all staff in the breakfast was greeting my thank you all

Cons: -the gym was too small and lake of trining machines (my husband dislikes) -beach side wasn’t as other resorts sea water was to muddy

Pros: Wonderful restaurant, SALA - and great pool and adult pool, happy hour poolside massage, beach area, decor, room size and room service, privacy, etc

Cons: Construction next door is loud, and children are always disruptive to other guests

Pros: This is a top notch, luxury hotel with a very good price point. The vibe is very zen and peaceful, and everywhere you look is just a perfect picture postcard. We decided to upgrade from the deluxe room that I originally booked- I'm so glad we did! We loved the privacy and convenience of our gorgeous Pool Villa, where we could lounge privately any time. The two outside pools are also lovely. Our favorite thing of all was the excellent food! Every dish we ordered was delightful. I do not recommend going off property for food- we tried several options elsewhere in Koh Samui (including the very highly rated Chez Francois in Fishermans Village) but nothing could compare to the simple elegance and refined flavors (not to mention beautifully presented) food at Sala. And the cocktails are to die for! Each one was more delicious than the last, and the happy hour is a fantastic bargain. Loved the Sala and will be back for sure!

Cons: I didn't use the spa because the prices were very high (similar to US Spa Resort pricing). Instead I visited the beach massage shack right in front of the hotel on the sand, where a very good Thai massage is about $10USD.

Pros: Everything , the service was impeccable

Cons: N/adel

Pros: Nice quiet beach, great recommendations for boat trips, nice yoga lesson, beautiful pools

Cons: Maybe some shuttle services to nearby sites

Pros: The design of the architecture here is really gorgeous. The facilities and the services worth the price. I would recommend couples to come here because the shower system and all the garnishes are romantic.

Cons: The sand on the beach is not really comfortable. The breakfast does not have a large varieties. Also the dinner restaurant taste really bad which the price is also too high.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent with a great choice of food, fresh fruits and a juice bar. the swimming pool and the beach are beautiful, quiet and very relaxing. We really enjoyed the free kayak and paddling board at the beach. Our Sala Villas were amazing: always clean, very comfortable and in a beautiful surrounding. Our kids especially enjoy the private pool. Quiet location far from the crowds.

Cons: Nothing. But a great bonus would be a shuttle from the hotel to some of the locations such as Bophut Fisherman's village

Pros: It is an excellent property right on the beach and very great staff.

Cons: The AC in our room could have been better.

Pros: Everything

Cons: I liked everything.

Pros: Location 10 Breakfast 10 Staff 10( receptionist Ten was

Cons: -Anantara vacation club staff !!!! One of them was rude and they dnt take no as an answer -Check out they asked me about beach bag!!! I didnt c any bag since check in but i was not charged -Room lighting could b better -Housekeeping they just made the bed nothing more, shower gel quantity for one use each person!!!!!!

Pros: Beautiful green grounds. Beach is great! Food. Restaurants very good!! Early dinner with kids is no problem as most of the places are open. We really liked the small/boutique set-up of the resort. It felt very personal and with small kids it was really convenient to be close to all facilities.

Cons: House keeping was good in general, but some things could have gone better. We requested house keeping at specific hours (to avoid disturbance during kids nap or bed time). That didn’t always work out. After we had just arrived and tried to get the kids to nap someone from housekeeping walked into our room without telling what she was up to and took towels and bottles of water. That was weird and left us with a bit of a weird feeling.

Pros: The location is superb and the beach is good for relaxing and swim..rooms are very nice..staff is very warm..breakfast spread is very good..since we are vegetarian, chef SAI(if I got the name correct) prepared very good breakfast for us keeping in mind our views and taste.Yoga session conducted by hotel was also excellent.. Fisherman's village is just few mtrs away and is very lively evening onwards with markets and restaurants, pubs,etc..

Cons: Nothing.. everything was just fine.

Pros: Our Garden Deluxe room was spacious and bright. The outside areas were beautiful. A lively calm environment.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Kha was nice from housekeeping. I stayed jn the Royal suite and she was kind .

Cons: The. Yoga class could be more enthousiastic given .

Pros: Great location, seating around the pool and beach. The overall property was nice!

Cons: Room cleaning services have scope of improvement. The Anantara club membership group that sits at the Koh Samui airport(specially the lady who takes the lead here) was terrible. She convinced us to take Anantara taxi to other hotel as part of anantara welcome to the city and requested us to join membership presentation which we agreed as we were interested. We told her upfront that if will be busy on the fixed time then we would like to reschedule it for later. She said no probs and then her drama, calling non stop pushing started to attend it. Or else we will need to pay the taxi etc etc (which we mentioned her at first place that in case we will not be able to make we would like to pay for our taxi so she doesn’t hv to bear it from her salary, but she was just indecent and unethical in the way she was talking. Even though I was thinking of taking membership, I changed my mind because of this behaviour as you don’t expect cheap tricks and this kind of behaviour from a 5-star brand. Coming from the hospitality background myself, I would recommend hotel chain to be cautious of this kind of behaviour.

Pros: Great location for other bars / food. Great beach and pool facilities.

Pros: I felt like a queen. Thank you so much. It was super relaxed and amazing.

Pros: Position on the beach, within easy access to the local facilities, and in quiet location with a very relaxing atmosphere and excellent staff

Pros: Great location. Beautiful pool. Excellent breakfast buffet.

Cons: Beach area not great. Sand very coarse and water muddy.

Pros: Comfort was amazing.

Cons: Too central for young kids...noisy and in the heart of adult entertainment

Pros: Staff were very nice, spacious room with a balcony. Breakfast is served just in front of the sea with different options of fruits and salted food. Good location with shops around and a nice beach in front. Choose ground floor rooms for a good night of sleep.

Cons: Furniture in the rooms need an update (TV for example).

Pros: Very central but still far enough from the noisy Chaweng Street. Very nice breakfast. Everything is meant for your comfort.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great breakfast and friendly staff

Pros: Perfect location, in the center of busy Chaweng but absolutely quiet in the room. In front of a nice beach. Great staff, very polite and helpful Lot of choice for breakfast Very clean place

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We have stayed at Chaweng Gardens previously so we knew that we would receive a friendly welcome and we were not disappointed. The staff made the difference to our holiday, thank you Beach Boys Zaw and his mate for looking after us every day. The other travellers were also very friendly, welcoming and social. We can’t wait to go back.

Pros: Best breakfast in Chaweng. I have been at 4 different resorts in Chaweng during the years, but Chaweng Garden was the best without any doubt. It is a very cosy resort since they kept so many old trees. Truly a fantastic Garden. The staff is very kind and professional, I hope they get a salary raise for being so friendly and great! :)

Cons: Prices are getting higher. That is the case for other places as well. That will scare some tourists away in the future I believe. Increasing the price level to much may hurt Thai tourism in general.

Pros: Everything! I spent my honeymoon in there and couldn’t have been anywhere else ❤️ Loved the staff, the hotel and its facilities, food, location, the pool. Checking in and checking out. Love it! I actually cried when I was leaving

Pros: Beautiful place to stay in a great location

Cons: Lack of wardrobe/place to put your clothes

Pros: Staff

Cons: Cleanliness

Pros: Location

Pros: The only good thing is The private beachfront villa was amazing view and full privacy Villa view 10/10 Beach 2/10 Villa furniture 6/10 Private swimming pool 10/10 Food 7/10 Drinks 7/10 Service 3/10

Cons: -We arrived to find the bathroom in our villa in a complete mess and dirty, literally dirty with mud and dirt on the floor and the bathtub and it was very embarrassing because it was our anniversary and it looked bad in front of my wife. -beach is useless and full of rocks and they didn’t even bother to do like a small bridge in the water like the other hotels to avoid the rocks - phone in the villa was not working for 2 days !!! -they cut the water during the day for maintenance -they didn’t collect the food plates after we ate for almost 24 hours and i have informed them more than 2 times and off course the villa garden gathered all mosquitos and insects around the swimming pool because of the remaining food I am not sure i will come again or not !!!

Pros: Hillside pool suites are really nice and absolutely worth the extra money

Cons: Really bad costumer service, we had 4 rooms and couldn’t get even one for early check in, despite the fact that all the rooms were ready but they kept us waiting till 2pm as its their check in time and even after that took them 30 min to give us our rooms. I ask them couple of times if we could get at-least one of our rooms 1 hour early as my wife was pregnant and she wanted to rest but they refused and said we all had to wait till 2pm which is not expected from a 5star resort, and when we got to our rooms it was really hot and the air con was off. The checking out time is really early at 11am and dont expect to get a late check out. In room dining service is till 11pm which is a really weak point for the hotel as the nearest place to get something is 7 min drive or 30min walk

Pros: Nice staff .reasonable price.

Cons: Hills top villa cannot see the whole ocean view

Pros: The pools were FANTASTIC! Top Notch. All the amenities were very good. Overall staff service was very good. The Samui Slipper cocktail is game changing. The room was fantastic, huge space, amazing view, bathroom was spotless. The shuttle to town was a great touch as there was no where to walk around to.

Cons: The WiFi connection was very poor, the poorest we've had during our entire trip in Thailand and was not expected for our 5 star stay. The breakfast staff should be more consistent offering coffee to guests, some tables got table service, we had to ask/go to the bar ourselves and other tables were asked 3 times by different members of staff. Quality of food at night time was fairly poor. Even the 'traditional' Thai food was very westernised and bland. The western food was really dry and just not well cooked. Also very pricey for what you get. Very disappointed in that.

Pros: The staff were all lovely and very helpful and the facilities and the rooms are beautiful.

Cons: My room was right at the top of a steep hill. It was a special deal so understandable but just be aware it is NOT an easy walk. You can ask for a lift up in the a hotel golf cart and the staff are happy to do it but after a while I felt bad to keep asking for lifts so I just walked it. Also there didn't seen to be enough sun loungers for guests.

Pros: Stayed in the beach side villa, everything was superb

Pros: *I loved the view from the villa *the pool was amazing *The size of the room and the bed *Very clean *Excellent breakfast

Cons: Not very friendly staff but they provide excellent service

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Quick and fast service to and from the room via their golf carts. The infinity pool at the hillside pool villa is great Washrooms are spacious and very well maintained. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle transfer service to and from main Chewang Road market. The resort has a good resort like feeling.

Cons: The hillside pool villas have very bad dim room lighting. Even their reception area has very dim lighting. The resort staff although is very helpful and cooperative but their English is a bit weak and can be difficult at times to explain them. The resort at many times seems deserted, even their lobbies, restaurants and reception area, which makes it seem like a lonely and scary place. There should be more frequent shuttle service to and from Chewang Town. The resort has some scary insects.

Pros: the villa's are amazing, the breakfast is awesome and included, even the transport from your villa to the restaurant is complementary. We really enjoyed the property and the villa of course.

Cons: The beach isn't wonderful so i would not stay there for longer that a night or two, unless you are not a beach person. Another strange thing about resorts in samui is that there aren't any mangos, passion fruit or other exotic fruits included there. I really missed that.

Pros: You can see the ocean from most everywhere on the property. Very friendly staff. Both swimming pools have great pool bars. Very delicious breakfast buffet.

Pros: Staff were very good. Room was nice. Pool area was good.

Cons: Breakfast was very poor. Thai food selection was same every day and was totally tasteless! The Bacon and Sausages were the cheapest rubbish I've ever had in any hotel. Hotel let's itself down with breakfast.

Pros: Beautiful, lush surroundings, close to the beach, restaurants and markets/shops. Good breakfast to!

Cons: Room was a bit on the small side.

Pros: Really good premises, nice room, big bed, a little bit humid but comfortable. The service was not great though. We had a very rude receptionist called May, when we addressed an issue we had with the mini bar she pretty much laughed and did not acknowledge us. It’s a good place for families, lots of kids. Would not go there as a couple

Cons: Service. Receptionist called May was extremely rude.

Pros: the location was excellent

Cons: We had to pay an extra $100 a night (total $700) for an extra bed although we did book two rooms and say we had 3 adults and 2 children. We had entered all this detail on booking.com but the hotel didn't have 'recollection' of it.

Pros: Nice location and well laid out resort.

Cons: None

Cons: 1. For this price you can get much better prices 2. The price at the hotel is 50% cheaper

Pros: All else was great, including all other staff members.

Cons: The nail on the floor board was lifting despite the fact that maintenance had dealt with it. When I discussed it at check out, I had a rather obnoxious remark from a trainee receptionist from Switzerland instead of being apologetic. Saying that, the manager did apologise for the rather unconventional behaviour. It's not a behaviour that one would tolerate in a hospitality industry.

Pros: Central location, able to walk to all places around. Very nice hotel and facilities.

Cons: Not the best position on the beach, with the reef out front. But easy walk down the beach to nicer swimmimg areas.

Pros: Pleasant staff always eager to help. Cleanliness of rooms and the hotel in general. This was our third stay and we were up graded to a beautiful spa villa by the pool.

Cons: Everything was wonderful, absolutely no complaints.

Pros: The hotel and its facilities are great.

Cons: The beach is not a swimming one, I feel this should be said as a swimming person, this was important to me.

Pros: The food was plentiful and lots of variety. Fantastic location, family room was very spacious.

Cons: More staff around the swim up bar area.

Pros: Very friendly and nice people working there. I especially enjoy3d the Thursday staff party for all hotel guests.

Pros: If you look for a beach club then keep looking. This is designed to be one place for adults playground but instead is children playing all the day and night. The personal also plays billar all time and that makes the attention poor in relation to the prices they take and the surplus 17% in every price you see at the bar and restaurant

Cons: Excellent room and pool with direct access to the beach but to small to have a billard tavle in front of the rooms

Pros: Swimming pool and staff are great

Pros: great hotel !! loved it very much The staff in the place is very generous Helping with any request The place is very clean The most comfortable bed in Thailand The room is very pampering A room on the water is just perfect A large, fun pool The pool is open until the wee hours of the night Breathtaking view Completely going back to this hotel

Cons: I have nothing wrong to say

Pros: The Pool, Pool Villa, view.

Cons: Breakfast ok, the area for breakfast could have been nicer located. The road outside the hotel is very busy. Missed a fitness room.

Pros: Hotel is clean and rooms are very well maintained. Pool is great during the day.

Cons: Not much to do in and around the hotel at night time.

Pros: service and hospitality...

Cons: ...

Pros: The staff were lovely. Nice having a beach on the doorstep. Aesthetically pleasing rooms and pool area. The bed was very comfortable. Loved the rain shower in the bathroom.

Cons: The location wasn't the most convenient. Not a lot going on in the area, so a taxi is required to get to busier places, markets etc.

Pros: Quite a good location

Pros: Its rather individual and smacks of the owners personality; he patrols the place in the day with a keen eye for detail, fun and service. Do you remember when the phrase 'Boutique Hotel' meant something and didn't just mean: small and painted white? The Ezra is small and painted white, but that only serves to frame the beautiful party pool and view of the beach. Its great. Its a one off and its full of people, mainly young, tattooed and celebrating finishing their national service in the Israeli army, having a good time. There are also many fab bars and restaurants in easy walking distance either way down the beach. Its also jolly handy for the airport. Its a hoot. I've been 5 times, and Samui 6. I didn't know about it the first time.

Cons: The bar and pool staff literally ignore you in favour of playing pool and other stuff when the owner is not around. Needs a good under manger in the evening to keep the show on the road and the locals on point.
