Scoopon deal booked - brilliant - 1st time to Koh Samui. Recommend hiring a car or making arrangements for a pick up from airport to your hotel (about $11 AUD). Welcoming staff English quite limited pretty much everywhere. Open verandahs and areas lend to the tropical almost Raffles hotel colonial type of atmosphere.

My wife and I just spent 7 days at this resort (via a Scoopon deal) and we were extremely impressed with the staff (in particular the Guest Services Manager JP), who made our stay extremely enjoyable. The surprise birthday cake for my wife was well received. The resort layout is very pleasant with the two pools. The resort tends to... More

I booked a scoopon deal for this hotel. It was a very good price and from my arrival at the front desk to the good size room and the nice hotel decor I was very pleased with everything. The staff were always efficient and friendly. Breakfast was ok, not a huge choice but cereal, eggs and bread plus some Thai... More

Very nice hotel and facilities set up around the resort. The premises alone are totally self sufficient with a supermarket, hairdresser/spa, bar, restaurant, gift shops etc... You really don't need to leave the place if you don't want to, however we did venture out quite a bit and enjoyed thoroughly! The location is also great, it was only a 15... More

A hard one to sum up, very good hotel, excellent value, the shops on location are very convenient and the price is good. However, i just get the feeling you are spoilt for choice... More
