“Rundown resort, apathetic staff - awesome view”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011

This place is built on a very steep hill.....I mean a very, very, very steep hill. There is an outdoor 'lift' but it was broken the 5 nights we stayed and had apparently been broken for months. the breakfast restaurant, on the beach is closed presumably from lack of clientele and the fact that the lift is closed. to get to/from your room you have to climb the hill or go down the hill depending on where your room is......either way it's a hard, long sweaty trip. Internet is available but only at the front desk, so if you happen to run out of battery then it's another taxing trip back to your room.....If you are very fit then stay here, if you have young kids then forget it. In fact, I had a friend who forfeited his stay and went elsewhere because he was not fit enought to get to/from his room!

The rooms are basic, not very clean and have the most uncomfortable pillows known to man.

The restaurant (it's a shack like hovel) is awful. The breakfast is horrible.

You have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having said all that, the views over water to Samui are awesome!!!

Room Tip: deal direct with front desk dont book online

“So much potential...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel has so much potential, if only the rooms and hotel grounds had been maintained! Hotel is not easy walking distance to Haad Rin (and certainly not very safe due to the winding hilly road with no path and crazy drivers). A tuk tuk ride between the hotel and the centre of Haad Rin was 50baht per person and takes about 3-5 minutes. The hotel charges the same if they are free to drop you in to town.

The best part about this hotel would be the views- breathtaking. As soon as we walked in to our room we were greeted with a wall of glass looking out over the ocean to Koh Samui. Our room had a balcony but alas- no furniture to sit out and enjoy the view. A few people were taking the plastic furniture from the restaurant to put on their balcony so they could sit outside and have a drink.

Breakfast was a bit of a let down, minimal selection compared to many asian hotels I have stayed in previously. Free internet in the reception area was a good perk. Disappointed to wake up on new years eve to find the hotel had run out of water- surely if the hotel is fully booked this is something you would keep track of? Not too sure how long this took to fix, we had a day trip booked so went to a friend's hotel to shower. Another issue was the curtains- not block out and being cream in colour meant that it was difficult to sleep when the sun came up.

“Best Bargain”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2010

only 1,000baht for this spacious private cottage with stunning view. Free pick-up was a bonus, too. I would recommend this place to anyone.

“simply awesome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010

simply awesome, we were given a room overlooking a stunning big blue sea view..all the staffs were very friendly n helpful.

the staff even offer us a free ride to nearby island thong sala and haad rin which is 10-15mins by car. we tried walking, it took us abt 30mins which we enjoyed as well, i lost almost 1 kg during the 6days we were here because of the climbing of the stairs to n fro rooms-swimming pool-restaurants, though they are planning to put up elavator soon .good news!
u can take the motor car as well, it cost abt 50-100bahts/pax which took u to haadrin where all the restaurants,pubs,shops,spas and the infamous full moon party are famous for.

we fully enjoyed our 6days here.the hotel manager even arranged to send us to the pier on our last day here.we will definitely be back soon!!

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

I spent 4 glorious days at the Bluehill Resort with my daughter who is on a world trip. The location is exquisite, the staff wonderful and the food delicious, bearing in mind it was off-season I enjoyed every minute of my stay. It is a little far from anywhere but that didn't pose any problem as we hired a scooter and went everywhere we desired. A truly memorable time.
