Good hotel with very soft spoken staff except few
7
It was a pleasant stay with very good ambience. But the swimming pool allows females only with bikini and tangas. In fact the pool staff was so rude they were of opinion Indians, Pakistanis, Indonesian are not allowed in pools. Good value for money place with very close to the popular walking street. Good place for night party lovers.
Nightlife Tip:
Walking street is just next to hotel lane

nice staff, but not as good as the pictures
6
i used this place as just a place to rest until my evening flight so i only stayed from 10 am to 8pm didnt even sleep here! but i used the pool and beach and shower, for the money its not bad, but the one thing that really upset me was that we lost the room key while in the ocean and it was an old style key not keycard, and they wanted to charge us baht for a new one thats like 80 bucks or so, and my girlfriend got them down to but still its outrageous they even came and changed the whole door knob and key but it was the cheap ones u pick up at like walmart for ten bucks, so i dont understand why the cost was so high, also they could have just switched doorknobs with another door, then switch the keys then whoever found the key couldnt ever use it because he wouldnt know what door it was, anyway the hotel pictures of course are too kind, its pretty old, but for three stars at least you get good english service

Basic hotel that has everything you need
Variety of rooms for all price points, clean, run efficiently, professional
7.7
A clean hotel which was exactly what we were looking for after staying in more backpacker accomodation. Deluxe hotel rooms are clean, spacious and a very short walk to the beach. Garden and beach bungalows appeared very new, modern and also clean. Well run hotel. Good value. Found better price on agoda even vs negotiating rate face to face with hotel. Breakfast buffet is good- food quality good- Only downside- hotel decor ie restaurant, beach area is a little blah- lots of white- but other than that good value and good hotel!

nice beach but inconsiderate staff
5
We were 3 persons sharing a room. The hotel was very good but a little far from the main happening area. Ark bar and Soi Green Mango are undoubtedly the main attractions of the island and this hotel is exactly 2 kms from this spot so every time we need to spend 50 bhts per person one way on the tuktuk/taxi. My bike riding skills were pathetic so i had to use the tuk tuk everytime instead. If you can rent a bike then i think it is worth staying a little far from the main area and save some money on the hotel.
We booked superior room for 5 nights but due to some last minute changes we had to cancel our 1 night. Superior rooms are in the building which is facing the road(quite pathetic for a beach holiday). We asked the manager that if we can get an upgraded room as we will not be staying for the 5th night. They denied and asked for 600bhts per night. There are many hotels which upgrade the rooms without even asking subject to availability. The rooms were available in this case and they decided not to entertain us. For last night we decided to pay the additional money and went for superior pool view and it was way way better.
Conclusion: Do not stay in the building rooms and if the higher end rooms are expensive then check hotel rates near soi green mango.
Wish you a nice samui holiday
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Samui bungy jump is a must !!

Very nice hotel and located roughly 1km away from the Chaweng nightlife area. The hotel is very well maintained and along the beach. Super clean beach and sea too.
Nightlife Tip:
Try food and drinks at Orchid restaurant in Chaweng. It's located along the Chaweng road and near Green Mango restaurant serves good quality cocktails with affordable price.

Check your bill when you leave and dispute it because there will be extra made up charges they dont tell you about.
Restaurant Tip:
If you have to eat, your getting sick. Buy lots of toilet paper

Great beach front villa for a brilliant price
Private pool on the balcony
9
We booked a beachfront villa that had a private swimming pool on the balcony, which was excellent. The room should have been a night, but we got in on agoda for £64 a night! The swimming pool was great, the restaurant maybe a bit expensive..but the quality of the food was great. The room was cleaned everyday and hotel staff were friendly. There was a gym, a creche for the kids, but you had to pay for wifi, which isnt a problem, but most hotels offer free wifi. Great for families, or couples.
Restaurant Tip:
Order the hawaiian chicken salad for lunch at the hotel...one of the best salads ive had! Also, theres an amazing brazilian restaurant if you turn right out of the hotel. Its a 2min walk and what an experience!! Brazilian dancers, bbq served on swords!

Good value & friendly staff
Beach access, excellent restaurant
8.3
Very good beachside option if you don't mind being a little bit out of the main Chaweng action (5 min taxi ride). Extremely good value for the quality of bungalows offered. Chef is excellent although I only ate from Thai menu. Matresses were a little on the firm side.
