I've been coming to this island for over 2O years. Hand on heart, this is probably the best place I've stayed, here's why: The views of the ocean from our beach side bungalow was breathtaking. The staff were super friendly and helpful but also gave us space. The private beach is a sanctuary when the Island get a bit too full on, yet its a stroll away if we wanted to get involved. The room was functional, spotless and had everything we needed. The only thing missing from the resort was a restaurant but hey, there's tons a few minutes away. If you're looking for paradise on Samed, stop, you just found it!
Staying here in March 2023 with family in a beachfront and garden rooms. What a marvelous time we have. Here are the thing we love: 1) Top-notch service: From the manager to staff level, it seems everybody always want to help and be proactive. One incident I was very impressed is a staff at the activity center (sorry not asking for his name). He let me use the paddle board even if it's amost 6pm which is the closing time. Housekeepers were also doing the best job in order to fill an in-room refreshments and changing towel/bedsheet. 2) Food: Even almost all the guests are foreigner and we understand that the hotel must prepare food with the taste that can well-serve a majority, I have to say that the taste here is also good for the Thai-people standard. And I'm normally a person who eat a spicy food with lost of flavor. Give props to F&B team. 3) Transportation: Due to a strong footprint on Samed island, the hotel and the whole Samed Resort Group have so many staffs both in land and on the island. This make them have an ability to well manage guest transportation / luggage handle throughout the trip. 4) And last but not least: You can't go wrong with the beach here. We have visited a lot of beaches in Thailand and this is one of the best white sands we've encountered if not the best. Kids can run and jump into the sea without having fear of stepping on the seashells/rocks. We will be back for sure. Tips: Bechfront room is a must, especially for the kids.
