"Only stayed one night but it was clean and comfortable and excellent value for money.... A perfect place to stay if you need to be at the airport early (like I did) and are just wanting a bed for the night. Close to everything you need.... Bars, shops, restaurants, 7/11, etc etc. The girl who runs the place was an absolute saviour when the taxi that I booked to take me to the airport failed to show up.... She very generously offered to take me in her car.... Can't thank her enough. 🙏 I'd stay...

Top Big Buddha Temple Hotel Reviews

Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, just wow. We were blown away by the beauty of this property and the helpfulness and kindness of the staff. We felt truly cared for by the staff, that they wanted us to have the best experience possible. We stayed in the hillside pool villa and it was unlike any experience I have ever had. We ordered room service and swam by the pool while birds came to watch us and sat on the corner of our pool, singing. The property and villa felt so safe and comfortable. The breakfast staff were amazing. We had an early trip out and they made us breakfast boxes and fresh pressed juice to go. My only regret is not staying longer. Trust me, you will not be disappointed."

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

10/10 Excellent

"Property is a tad steep so be in good physical condition to prevent injury. There are maps located throughout property, but straight forward top of hill reception and goes down to the restaurant and beach bar. Location is perfect central location on the that side of the island 10 min ride if that to many spots like Ark Bar and Central Samui. Staff is top notch and there to help.I booked unit with smoking patio and plunge pool, def advise to do the same in the hot months."

The Culture Samui

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 amazing stay. Amazing people."

Punnpreeda Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location, stuff, room, service, etc. Everything was beyond my expectations"

Secret Garden Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. The air con was the only problem. It is just in the bedroom and struggled to keep the room cool."

The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel on Samui island. The staff are incredible, the hotel beautifully maintained and so large you feel like you’re truly away from it all. Don’t miss out on visiting the spa (try the coconut flow), or taking one of the complimentary gym classes (Muay Thai training with Mik and Sean was absolutely fantastic!) Last but not least, the food and restaurants. Aum took brilliant care of us at Breakfast, Jakky supplied endless fresh coconuts at the pool bar, One Rai was unbelievably good (special thanks to Raj & chef Armaan who explained so much about the flavours and dishes) and also Pak Thai for traditional Thai food (Beauty was incredible with her food recommendations and education on local dishes!). Also don’t miss the Fire show on the beach after dinner! We can’t wait to come back!"

Skye Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious. The view was spectacular! Just like the photos. Staff were pleasant and helpful. They listened to our requests and did their best to make them happen. We enjoyed watching the planes fly past. Overall it was a wonderful holiday!"

Deva Beach Resort Samui

10/10 Excellent

"This was an awesome find. The room was spacious and private with a nice balcony overlooking one of the pools. There are several pools onsite. The balcony was complete with a spa bath big enough for 2 comfortably. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great and the setting overlooking the beach with the sea breeze was an awesome start to the day. I would definitely stay here again. The area was full of fantastic local dining spots. We sampled many in our 8 night stay."

Kimpton Kitalay Samui by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of three (husband, myself and 7 year old daughter), have just returned from an almost two week stay at Kimpton Kitalay. We had an incredible time at the hotel. The room was clean, spacious and we loved the nightly treats whether it’s a face mask or toffees. There is always an attendant in your block of rooms if you need extra towels or a quick refresh. We made so much use of the balcony, such relaxing couches to read and wind down in peace. The breakfast buffets were excellent, the hotel catered for our dietary requirements, even making my daughter gluten free, vegan pancakes and muffins! Shoutout to Chef Banana who did a Thai cooking class for me and my daughter, such a special experience. The kids club is lovely, plenty of activities for children to get involved with. The spa is fantastic, shoutout to Peng who provided the most relaxing massage I have ever had. The infinity pool and the room access pools were well maintained and clean, never felt too busy. The hotel is on a stretch of public beach where you can access water sports, food places, massages on the beach etc. Overall, one of the best stays we have had, all staff is friendly and helpful, food was delicious and the hotel itself was impeccable. Would love to return!"
