X2 Hotel, Samui

We stayed for a few nights in the cheapest villa and were happy with the room and facilities (except for the water pressure: it takes ages to fill a bath tub). The hotel is member of design hotels and rightfully so, but nevertheless overpriced. The swimming pool is excellent and the view from the restaurant very relaxing. The beach is ok to stroll along (if you don't mind all the rubbish) but swimming in the sea is not really an option. The (rather dirty) beach chairs were only used by us and I soon discovered that the sand flies must be part of the reason. But the most annoying part of the stay was the number of mosquito's at the resort. Even after the staff fumigated the resort and use pesticides in the rooms, we still killed at least 25 mosquito's in 1 night in our bathroom. They are the type that spreads the dengue virus and Samui is an area where dengue fever is present. I don't think I'll return.

El hotel es muy bueno en cuanto al diseño, calida de construccion e instalaciones. La comida tambien es muy buena como todos los servicios. Un poco altos los precios en relacion a los costos de todo en tailandia. Lo unico malo es la playa, el agua esta a una cuadra de la costa y la verdad no se puede ir hasta el agua. Igualmente es recomendable para ir unos dias.

I was extremely impressed with this hotel. Our Garden Suite although it did not have a pool was an amazing room. The privacy of the individual bungalows cannot be understated - our hotel at Chaweng beach paled in comparison. The decor and design of every detail was quite impressive and I know we'll be trying out the other X2 hotels in their other locations.
