Excellent staff, wonderful and peaceful location, great rooms!”

Stayed here for a weekend with my girlfriend and it was a wonderful stay. The room had a nice modern yet resorty villa design, with a fantastic view of the lagoon. The resort itself was designed with the surroundings in mind so there's a lot of greenery around. The hotel is located on a private beach that faces west so you get a wonderful view of the sunset and it is very quaint here. The dining options are plenty and we've tried the seafood BBQ and Italian restaurants and they were both phenomenal. The infinity pool was really nice too with attentive staff. Go on a Friday or Saturday as there's an awesome fire show! Thank you to Le Vimarn staff for a truly amazing stay :)

Beautiful ”

Remote part of the island so away from crowds. It is about 15 minute drive to main centre - 200 baht in a baht bus. Beautiful scenery and lovely hotel - would recommend for those who want to splash out and live in luxury for a few nights. Restaurants are expensive here but if you head to the main town it is cheaper.

wonderful hide out”

the location on koh samed island is simply wonderful. excellent infrastructure. good staff well trained. combination with sister hotel near by is gastronomicaly complemenrary. good food in different style. Lima Coco in between is not recommendable. sad that the island as such is astoningly dirty and full of garbidge.

Breathtaking beach and resort!”

We had a fabulous time at Vimarn Resort. The beach is beautiful and clean. The cottage was very spacious, exquisitely decorated and super comfortable. It had absolutely everything we could possibly need. The three restaurants at the resort offer a variety of choices. We ate at all three and loved every dish. Daily breakfast was delicious and abundant. We loved the spa and took advantage of a number of massages and facials. We can't say enough about the staff. Everyone there offers a genuine smile and a desire to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. A special note about Payab, who served at the restaurants and breakfast, while keeping an eye to the other staff, and our every wish. Thank you Vimarn!

Family holiday as ”

We stay at this resort for few nights with 2 young children , 3 and 6 years old . Staffs were very friendly , western food was good but pricey. We stayed in a premier bungalow , bungalow was very good , cleaned daily . Hotel pool was adequate but not really that interesting for young children. My personal view is that this resort is more suited for older children , family or couple as there were limited activities for children . The location is excellent as it’s quiet . Overall the experience was very good , but the resort is pricey for what it is . Finally , the beach was clean and excellent .

Exceptional”

We got the cheapest room and it was great . The resort is very beautiful , much better than the pictures . The beach is by far the best one on the island . The 2 out of 3 restaurants are good . I only have to negative comments for this place : Way too much chlorine in the pool and beach security guard should be more on the look out for out of the hotel guest sitting on beach chairs .. other than that its great . We will be back for sure !

Lovely resort on lovely quiet beach”

Great beach for the children on Koh Samet as there's lots of shade and the sea is quite shallow, plus pretty quiet in the evenings. Staff at Le Vimarn were brilliant.

Location”

I was a bit hit and miss for me. If i had to pay full price i would habe been very disapointed but in saying that i thought after riding alot around the island it had to be one of if not the best location for hotel. Nice beach and pretty goid swimming pool.the room was awesum and i stayed alot in thailand. The big disapointment was foid,the menu i had no idea what it was and having my thai gf with me i asked why is no thai food only to be tokd it was on another menu,but no one offered it,the food was expensive omg,about the most i ever spent,better to go over 2 hotels and us restraunt out the front with good food and half the price. The breakfast was average to be nice,never ever seen fresh bread there and bacon was hrs old. As i said the room the location is beautiful but as a 5 star hotel the foid was crap. Ohhh and all taxi are 200baht. And DO NOT hire motorbikes from near hotel. What a freaken rip off. 500 baht a day fir a total piece of crab dangerous bike i went threw 2 in a day and tokd them to get stuffed and keep money and keep the bike the other thing was a big problem as they keep your passport but just keep it in a draw on a small table outside out in the open. Anyone can access it,.but i would stay again at this hotel but only f i got the bg discount again

Fantastic location on the beach”

We've been many times and will be back. The boat transfer is included but that was not of much use when we went as there was no more place on the boat (we did arrive relatively late at the pier) so we had to take the private boat. The rooms have been renovated recently it seems. The beach is great and relatively quiet, with beautiful sunsets. Fire show on the beach in a nearby restaurant. Great for a weekend trip.

Nice to return”

We had not been here for a few years and it was nice to return to the beautiful Ao Prao bay on Koh Samet, this time with visitors. The hotel has low rise buildings overlooking the sea. The beach is one of the best near Bangkok with nice white sand and trees. Because of this, you also pay a premium rate during weekend (but speedboat transfer is included). Overall, a great weekend getaway.

Two trip in two months”

I've got an excellent trip for last two time I been there. I went first time in November and I definitely booked for my second trip on Christmas .....how good it was. and yes, now I plan to going again and this will be my third trip in four months. Cheers! Rainbow

Very relaxing with great views and excellent room.”

If relaxation with a romantic atmosphere is on your mind this is the place. No load Bars outdoor and indoor restaurant to high standard. Not cheap and don't bring your own bottle of wine unless you are happy to pay 500 baht corkage, but on the whole a very comfortable place for a short stay. Not a lot to do without going outwith the resort for entertainment. Remember to go to the correct to “Seree Ban Phe pier” for the free shuttle ferry. Once there everything is taken care of till you arrive at the hotel.

Very quiet location.”

Great resort for someone who likes peace and quite.It was to quiet for us. We hired an ATV and rode around to Sumed both nights as that was where all the action was. The only complaint I had about my stay was the squeaky bed considering it was a romantic couple/ honey moon resort.

Lovely cottages and garden over the beach”

The hotel is quite nice and the beach is good. The garden and the room was always clean. Breakfast was acceptable. The two restaurants (thay and italian) are good. The two other resorts on the beach are just next to this one. It is very convenient but was quite a disappointment as we thought we would be far from other hotels. There are some boats coming and going from the beach so it gets a little bit noisy, but nothing compared with other turistic beaches in thailand. I would stay again. It is specially recommended for families with young children. The spa is also good, but a bit overpriced.

Lovely quiet resort”

to stay at the le virman cottages and spa is a real opportunity for having a relaxing vacation in a place where there is very quiet and still not to far from beaches with more evening life. the restuarants at the resort and at the resorts next to are very nice and serve good food.

Very well kept resort and more than helpful staff”

On our arrival the reception staff were less than welcoming and seemed to be having a bad day. however.... The staff at the resort were extremely friendly especially toward our young children. The resort itself was very clean and well kept though prices can be a little steep. The beach is child friendly and extremely clean and constantly cleaned and maintained. Two resteraunts to choose from within the resort however the resort shares the beach with two other resorts where you can also dine, however if you want to use the other resorts real estate on the beach a small charge is incurred.

Beautiful beach resort”

the best resort on koh samet, relaxing private beach, excellent swimming pool. room is of a very high standard. only con would be the room price, but we were there on a national holiday. rooms are available cheaper at other times of the year.

Fantastic!”

We'd been before, the kids love this place, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. The service is really friendly and efficient, from the speed boat service to any requests you have for your room. The layout of the resort is beautiful - clean, comfortable rooms in a natural setting, the beach is right there and a nice pool overlooking the sea as well. Wonderfully relaxed and natural. Breakfast is a good start to the day - a very nice selection and great location with a view of the sea. The beach is perfect for kids - safe swimming and some snorkeling on the rocks at either side. Some trees for shade with loungers, towel service etc. Again, convenient but natural. You can hire canoes from just up the beach if you want to go snorkeling further out. There are just two other resorts on this beach so it never gets too crowded. The Italian restaurant at Le Vimarn has great pizza from the wood fired oven and some really delicious pasta dishes. There are also restaurants at the other two resorts to visit for a bit of variety. Reception can organize a taxi service to some of the other beaches on Ko Samet if you need a day or evening trip away but really this is the nicest beach on Ko Samet. All in all, what a wonderful place to relax, unwind and enjoy life with the family!
