Samaya Bura Beach Resort - Koh Samui

ho passato 3 notti presso il Samaya Bura Beach Resort, la Struttura e molto carina e situazione in un ottima posizione. Peccato per la poca disponibilità del Personale, arrivati in albergo non ci hanno spiegato niente. abbiamo fatto colazione alle 08.30 del mattino e non vi era già più molte cose (esempio Latte), Nel Pomeriggio sono stato 5 ore nella piscina (che dovrebbe essere un po' più pulita) e non ho visto nessuno dello staff dell'albergo. E un peccato perché l'albergo e carino e potrebbe essere sfruttato molto meglio, avrebbe delle enormi potenzialità. Cmq lo consiglierei ad altre persone.

E' il luogo di Samui dove ho conosciuto giovani simpatici e alla mano. Purtroppo la spiaggia non è granché.

buon hotel in una posizione dell'isola, purtoppo all'inizio di lamai beach dove la spiaggia è orribile ma vicino spiaggia stupenda....purtroppo spriti 6000 bath dalla camera (poi restituiti).

I am from Dundee, Scotland and have been coming to Samui for 13 years staying 4-6 weeks often at this hotel as well many other hotels so feel I’m well placed to review honestly. I’m Scottish and expect value for money, and this hotel is, especially now under their new manager Vince, (who speaks perfect English, is local and is very professional) unbeatable all round. It is a traditional Thai hotel with a laid back approach so if you want a quiet, relaxing, no fuss hotel this is perfect. Breakfast is quite basic but good value and served to you, not a buffet. Be aware provided they understand what you’re saying and they don’t always but smile as if they do - reception, restaurant, housekeeping will all aim to please you. Hope the new manager stays a while.

2yrs ago, it was excellent, but not any more. They keep dirty slippers, bathrobe, forget to deliver daily bottle of waters. Disappointing meals etc, we will not be back.

First impression was perfect, nice lobby, pool and see just behind, nice garden. but it lasted 1min. Then I understood what I read in the hotel comments when came the check in. It was 11pm. No one talked understandable english at front desk, we booked a "superior" bedroom for 4 people (3 adults, 1 kid under 12). We got a 2 beds room just back to the island main road (road to Chawéng beach). The manager came at the front desk, better english, but his only solution was an upgrade with additionnal fee to get the missing bed. Hotel was 70% empty, one would have expected another solution. We finally slept there in camping mode, the road was extreamly noisy all night long. Very bad experience, we lost 1 day of vacations. Hopefully we booked only one night so we could get out in the following morning for a great place found the same day. I still do not understand how that can happen and witch responsability it is (web site from where we booked or hotel).

My friends and I stayed at this hotel in August 2017 and it was a disappointing, although we didn't have a bad experience. The hotel was empty and didn't seem like there were more than a couple people staying at the hotel other than us. The food wasn't great, the pool was small and the beach area was almost non-existant. We had to walk down the beach to find a place we could actually lay on the beach. Our room was spacious, although it was facing the highway which was loud. Our AC had no problems unlike other reviews.

Excellent hotel. Value for money . The elevator does not work. . If you are staying at the 3rd floor ,its a good workout..Noisy if your room faces the road. Breakfast is simple. This hotel is nothing fancy. Ocean View is good but NO beach.

Previously I have stayed in this hotel numerous times even up to a month for one of my visits. Up until this time I never had any problems or needed to complain. In less than 12months the room rates have more than doubled and the hotel is really showing its age. Money desperately needs to be spent. New mattresses are required as they actually have dents in them on both sides where numerous guests have slept in the beds. Air con is also a problem as you cannot control the temperature as they have become damaged over time. I either had it on and when it got too cold then had to turn it off. When I complained to management about these issues I was told because it is an old hotel. I was moved to a different room and the new bed was better but still had indents where it had been slept in by other guests. And again the same issue with the air con. The lift was broken when I arrived. In the 12nights I was there it wasn't fixed and looked like they had no intention of it ever being fixed. 3 days running I had to have an engineer come to my room to fix or patch up something. No hotel transfers from the airport are included and to organise a car to take you to the airport through the hotel is ridiculously expensive. I am not usually someone who complains. But seriously there are much nicer places you can stay for a hell of a lot cheaper. This could be a lovely hotel if the owner was prepared to spend money on it to bring it back to its former glory. As always the staff are lovely and try to make your stay as pleasant as they can under the circumstances.

I enjoyed staying there, it was my second time to stay for a new year. Good staffs and good private beach.

Hotel I felt needs refurbished, room not good dated. Bed hard, mosquitoes everywhere getting in through sliding doors. Poor overall

We pre booked a suite and have stayed there before and are never dissapointed also the rooms with sea view are great value, our only negative with this hotel is beer far too expensive and not inluded in happy hour if they lowered price we would eat in hotel more as food good value and tasty

It's nice place ,I very like it and I will back again to that hotel.

Enjoyed my stay, the staff was very accommodating and attentive. Rooms were clean but the bed was like cement!! Need to update mattresses and bedding for a more comfortable sleep. Did not rest well but love the island.

Samaya Bura is located in Lamai Beach area, however, the ocean there is subsiding and a bit rocky this time of the year (mid-late April). Though no fault of the Resort, a good swimmable area of ocean is important to us. The pool is very nice but a bit small. The resort itself is beautiful and the staff even more so. Ask for a view room if you can get one. Daniel C.

Nice'n'friendly staff. No other particular positives. Location is not great and because the hotel is in the outskirts of Lamai and because of the exorbitant Samui-taxi mafia it costs a lot to go anywhere. What annoyed me was that on the first night I dropped one of drinking glasses in my room. Next morning I reported it to the cleaner so that she would not cut her feet. Nothing else was said. Then, when I checked, out I was charged THB 200 for the glass which you can likely buy just down the road in Tesco for THB 10.

The hotel and related infrastructure are quite dated and not always functioning properly e.g. Air con or lights or flooded bathroom. The staff tried to help but it was pointless. No fresh fruit juices available at the bar only industrial ones. Breakfast was average. Luckily there was the Radiance restaurant at the Spa resort next door, both of which saved our trip. We don't recommend Samaya Bura and will probably not come back.

Good experience. Good location.

Not good room by busy road , very noisy and hotel is in need of renovation. We moved room because of the noise and was asked to pay for this which you would have thought they would have offered for free due to our disatisfaction.
