I have stayed here before and again rented a Thai House Cottage. We stayed for two nights three days in early Feb 2012. I was awakened both mornings at 8am by construction workers banging on metal beams. Yet, after 10am there was no more noise, could have waited to make noise later in the day. The worst thing was trying... More

Stayed in one the so-called garden-view rooms, but since construction is going on, not much of a view. Also, very noisy. Worse still was that the building is next to the hotel's workshop, which generates so much noise of its own (not related to the construction site), that you feel like you're living in a hardware store. At dusk I... More

Nice bungalows, although pricey in the December season.

I think the hotel was overpriced. Staff at the bar-reception were not friendly. Bungalows need a big renovation. Its better to stay in the building behind as its new, facing a garden, rooms have terrace. Breakfast is basic. Beach is beautiful.

Construction is going on all over the Sai Keaw beach, also right next to this hotel. Friendly staff, but clueless. "Beachfront" bungalows are not on the beach, but behind reception and a large dusty area. Messy surroundings, noisy beach. Karaoke until past midnight in the hotel restaurant, just meters from the bungalows. We woke up at 7am by construction work... More

We thought this was a moderately priced place with direct access to a good stretch of the beach and it was easily accessible from the dock. We stayed in the bungalows - we were two couples with two teenage girls apiece - the girls had a bungalow with an adjoining hallway and thought it was the coolest. I don't know... More

A good place to stay in low season, as you can get value for money. But the rates they charge in high season are on the border of "not worth it". The place is located on a private beach. We were here the first week of June and had the place pretty much for our self. If you walk 3... More

Stayed for three nights at Grand View Resort. When I got to Koh Samet I walked along White Beach and stopped at almost every place by the beach. I wanted to stay right on the beach in a room/bungalow with AC without paying a fortune. This was not an easy task. Almost all places on the beach are either expensive... More

This hotel looked to be a relatively nice choice from the brochure and location. Aside from the location it really isn't anything special. On our arrival the hotel manager - definitely not the usual affable, welcoming person you'd expect - was pretty abrupt and terse. He didn't make us feel welcome at all and was almost rude on some points... More
