Nice, quiet hotel.
Good location, helpful staff, large bedrooms.
5.7
Our stay at this hotel was very relaxing. It was very quiet and right across the street from the beach, although there was not much else nearby except restaurants and bars. The wifi in the rooms was very good.
The first morning nothing on the breakfast menu was available! They said it was because there wasn't enough guests staying at the moment. The next day the staff helped by going out to buy what we wanted for breakfast.
The hotel was not very clean, the breakfast area was full of ants which went all over the food. Milk for cereal was gone bad. Bathroom tubs were dirty and some toilets did not allow toilet paper to be flushed due to clogging issues.
The hotel had a shuttle but they charged high rates to drop off at the airport , almost double taxi price.

Quiet & close to the airport
Room is very big & the beds are also extremely big. Value for money. The restaruant right in front of the hotel has very good Thai food.

Great hotel for good price
big rooms, air condition, huge bed
7.3
Great hotel for a great price, good swimming pool. When we arrived we were almost the only one staying which was weird. The rooms are pretty clean, but as time goes the maintenance was pretty bad. would recommend the hotel for the price, good location among lots of restaurants, bars & massage parlours.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Great place to stay for fullmoon party, right at the pier where the speedboat transfers goes..

awesome stay!
Great view, big room, huge balcony, friendly staff, scooter rental
9.7
We loved the place! we opted to stay out of the hustle and bustle of the island, because we had so much of that on our trip before we reached Samui. So this hotel was perfect! Quiet, directly across from the beach (highly recommend requesting a front facing room for a view of the ocean), the balconies are huge, pool area was nice and quiet as well. you can do plenty of relaxing on the beach without seeing too many passerbys. If you want a party area, don't stay in Bo Phut area, but if you want peace, this is the place to go! they easily rent scooters to you from the hotel lobby for only 200baht per 24 hours (approximately $7.00 \US) Highly recommended. I will only say one bad thing about this hotel was we didn't get hot water, only luke warm showers. but to be honest with you, it's so warm outside that you won't really be wanting a hot shower anyway so it wasn't much damper on us.
Nightlife Tip:
Chaweng Beach is much more of a young, party scene, about 15 minutes if you rent a scooter. The only place with a lot of restaurants near here is about 3 miles away called Fishermans Village where there is shopping, food, and people watching.

Usefull hotel
Nice pool, very close to the airport en Seatran pier
7
Stayed for two nights in this usefull hotel, very close to the airport (without being noisy) and the Seatran pier. Perfect for a stop over on your way to Koh Phangang or Koh Tao. Very kind staff, a perfect little pool and free Wifi. The room was big enough and the bed belongs to the biggest I ever slept in. I think 2,40 meters wide!
Point of complaint though, the bathroom smelled a bit moist and needed a makeover.
I didn't try the breakfast, but it looked quite allright.
If I ever need a stopover on Samui again, I will definitifely choose for this hotel.
Travel tip:
If you travel futher tot Tao of Phangan, choose Seatran in stead of Lomphraya. Cheaper (600 in stead of 700 and almost as fast), same service and "luxury" level, and the pier is only a five minute drive.

Great staff, amazing time...
Value for money, breakfast and hospitality
8.7
Went with my wife for dual purpose of celebrating her birthday and valentines' day in Samui. Had a great time. Here's my 2 cents :
Location : I specifically chose this hotel because it's located away from Lamai, Chaweng etc areas which are way too touristy for us. It's away from the noise and still close to everything. 5 minutes by Bike to Fisherman village, 15 mins to Maenam beach(which is gorgeous). There are many restaurants, bars, massage parlors, diving shops, beach bars close by.
Hospitality : Hotel seems a bit under-staffed but that doesn't mean you don't get prompt service. All the guys work their back-sides off to ensure that you enjoy every moment of your stay. My wife's vegetarian, so they cooked vegetarian dishes specifically for her for breakfast even though we never asked them to do that(my wife was happy with bread and butter). Great staff, I must say. Always smiling, always trying to do that extra bit. Full marks for them.
Breakfast : Breads, fruits, juice, milk, corn flakes, yogurts, eggs(whichever way you like them), chicken, pork, fried rice, some times shrimp and I don't know what else.... It was awesome.
Room : Rooms are spacious and there's some lounging area outside the rooms as well. Matress could be a little better, otherwise it's great.
Value for money : Breakfast, A/C, refrigerator, bath tub, tea/coffee, sofa, swimming pool, sliding door that opens directly to pool area, personal lounge/balcony for every room.... What else can one want for such a price... Great value for money...
All in all full marks from me... Perfect place for couples looking for some cozy moments...
Restaurant Tip:
Go to the beach using the lane directly in front of the gate. Go right towards the Pier. Just before the Pier there's a great restaurant/bar I think it's called "Beachfront Cafe". Couples can have great time there. You can get your bed(I don't know what else to call it), sip your beer, order food and have your cozy moments while live performances are going on. Absolutely the most romantic night...
