The staff was great from breakfast, to the pool and beach staff, to the restaurant and front desk staff.

The breakfast, the people, the rooms, the overall services.

Highly recommend the BBQ night held down at Fishtails with an extraordinary buffet, live band and fire show.

Su got us a great table

The breakfast team are great.

Breakfast is awesome and a nice variety each day.

We were also very well taken care by the GM Manuel and Hotel Manager Mark who oversaw everything especially at breakfast , dinner and check out !!

The food (including the copious breakfast) was delicious.

Breakfast is amazing, many breakfast special do not get bored when stay in many days.

Both restaurants serve very tasty dishes and the breakfasts are the best I have ever enjoyed.

offers delicious food, whether it be at lunchtime or the evening.

The price is also quite reasonable 200 usd /night 
The breakfast is amazingly good 
Nice experience 
Felt relaxed

Add in the mini muffins or cake from the breakfast leftovers.

The food and drinks are delicious, with the afternoon sweat treats delivered a highlight of everyday.

They also noticed who came to breakfast and cleaned room during our breakfast!

Highlights were the breakfast and the beautiful vistas and the half moon pool, which we had to ourselves most of the time.

Breakfast at RHOY RHOY restaurant, the foods was great, really selection, and good quality.

Prana Spa is on the walk up from the beach and the 2 massages that we had were good , only detrimental thing that I have to say is the facility is poor after your massage has finished , you are taken back to the small air conditioned reception where your drink is waiting and then you are herded out as quickly as possible.

I urge you not to contribute to this activity - the poor elephants subjected to this cruelty for the enjoyment of selfish tourists.

We ordered two very expensive cocktails,  and they were very poor.

They have a poor interpretation of mediterranean food.

Due to the poor weather the management laid on some extra activities to keep guests entertained.

What are the people with the poor rating seeing that I and hundreds of other miss!?

but the choice on a evening was poor, which resulted in us having room service most nights.

We booked with Tonsai Bay based on tripadvisor recommendations and our near perfect stay was ruined by poor communication and poor customer service.

The food was wonderful, only had one poor meal in 10 days

The only slight negatives and I have to look very hard at being picky was I didnt rate Butlers Tapas at all (I thought the food was bland and poor value for money)

The bed linen and pillows are poor quality not as you would expect for 5 stars.

Room was gloomy, dated, had poor lighting and, as we discovered that night ,  a very noisy a/c unit.

but visibility poor (less than to 1 foot) during this time of the year.

but not luxurious - bed was hard, mould in shower and very poor lighting.

We went to the Christmas event and the food was honestly quite poor, it's not probably what Chef Chom's normally serves

Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui

poor

Free parking

Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Pool

Everything at this hotel was perfect - the facilities, swimming pool, location on the beach, food, drinks, happy hour every afternoon, breakfast buffet, grounds, friendly and accommodating staff and the bedrooms, Where it lets itself down is in its bathroom towels.

The breakfast was delicious with a variety of food available.

Good buffet breakfast, was included with our package.

Our last night coincident with Loy Krathong and the resort put on an amazing buffet dinner with dancers culminating in setting our Krathong into the see.

Breakfast is really good with all food items covered or in glass covered refrigerators away from any seasonal bugs etc.

Fisherman’s village is a 10 min walk away and offers many bars and restaurants and 4 nights a week has street food stall which offer delicious, cheap food.

As beautiful and perfect the resort was, the breakfast was not of the standard i would expect from this calibre of hotel.

Breakfast was outstanding with a large selection to choose from.

The breakfast good with lots of different choices.

Breakfast buffet was very good.. all in all was a good resort

Breakfast area over looks beach,  has one of the best breakfasts verities we have ever had in our six times to Koh Samui.

Restaurant was good and we enjoyed the breakfasts.

The restaurant had a variety of food and nice buffet for breakfast.

The hotel has a very good intercontinental breakfast and lunch and dinner a la carte restaurant.

Breakfast and the pool was excellent too.

We had breakfast included with our booking so we ate there everyday.

The restaurant breakfast was absolutely superb with plenty of choice and again beautiful views across the bay.

I also celebrated my birthday there with a cake and a happy birthday sang to me at breakfast.

Peace Resort

The food is excellent with a great selection at breakfast and the staff are warm and friendly.

Great selection at breakfast and of good quality.

International bbq buffet was excellent, our guests loved it.

The food was outstanding with delicious South American, Indian and English dishes as well as traditional Thai.

Jan Jan, Au, Yut, Apple, Johnny and all the others who’s name we didn’t catch please take a bow, you are all such lovely people and are a credit to the Anantara Bophut Resort.

I highly recommend the hotel it has everything you need for a holiday in Koh Samui-Great service; beach; great swimming pool; very good breakfast.

Additionally, the breakfast selection was quite impressive, and I would highly recommend sampling their homemade jams, particularly the pineapple jam which was especially delicious.

The staff girl Mam was especially kind:) rooms are nice and breakfast had a lot to choose from.

Lots of choices at breakfast and like before, Lily was always there to meet us with a smile and make sure everything was perfect.

My room was always clean, and every night, my bed turned down, with a lovely message..
Now for breakfast.

In addition, a very high-quality, beautifully designed and practical hotel is in a really good location and the food is delicious and fresh.

The property is beautifully landscaped and the breakfast is superb.

The breakfasts were fantastic with so much choice and everything was so delicious.

Delicious breakfast and 3 mins walk from Fisherman’s village  with all its restaurants etc.

Kind people all around and the breakfast is incredible!

Fabulous hotel, beautiful setting, superb staff, delicious food and entertainment.

This is not a 5 Star hotel it’s more like 10 star, I really don’t know how to start , staff were alway smiling and helpful from the front de to the gardener ,  rooms were top notch  , clean comfortable and cool, breakfast was a delight with almost everything you could imagine, pool and surrounding area was a dream ,  also your on the beach in 2 Minutes from the room , if your coming to Koh Samui then look no further .

It’s an expensive place and was our second choice

Prices too expensive compared with massage along Fisherman’s lane.

The only reason I haven’t given five stars is the crazy high prices for drinks and food.

It's shocking that the selection is not better when you pay as much as you do in Anantara.

I'm afraid we wouldn’t return to this hotel, while our experience was OK, and certainly not uncomfortable, for the price of the rooms, we believe there is better out there.

but as a special treat worth it- if you can, do it ;-) 

The only downside is that meal prices are a bit steep and especially at the pool bar could have been better in size, quantity and quality, but with fisherman’s village being 2 minutes away there are plenty of other options.

but expensive and not really 5* compared to other resorts.

I did book and paid for a sea view room with balcony and got a room with very limited sea view on the 2nd floor and without balcony.

Service was very good- modern, clean, the prices for massage to expensive,  the problems with brown water in the room for 2 of 5 days has to Do with sewage , that is also in the ocean.

Did not expect to have to pay extra to use a sauna and/or steam room.

The room rate is expensive and because it’s lost it’s personal charm we wouldn’t return and would look for smaller more intimate cheaper hotel of which there are many in Bophut.

We had expected it to be 5 star and up to Anantara general standards, having paid 5 star prices.

but very expensive and the quality of the hotel is not reflected in the price.

You can do free and paid classes like yoga, pilates.

though the prices were a little expensive.

We did not use the spa as I found the prices expensive, a short walk towards Fishermans Village and there are any amount of message's from 300Bht.

We had to pay for breakfast which was £25 for two people
Food was good quality

There are few activities everyday (paid included)
2.

One other review commented on cannabis being smoked at the resort and we noticed this also, its legal in Thailand so if someone wants to puff a joint on their balcony then I guess there is nothing they can do

unless you've got money to burn then join away.

but I’m keen to have some respect for those who don’t want to be subjected to second-hand smoke, particularly children.

There were only two men in the gym and they both had the shirt off, which is not really what I want to look at in the gym and it's not hygienic, sweat dripping everywhere.

Guests leave cigarette ends and food remnants in the sand.

but when unexpected happens (rain on New Year's Eve) they push for the firework show where the local (sub) contractor given wet fuses had two young boys firing up the fireworks by hand, suffering from burns and hearing impediment with no health and safety consideration.

The kitchenette in #503 has a smell that i unable to describe (its like the exhaust dan broken and the smell stuck in the kitchenette), again #504 doesnt has this unpleasant smell and i use the kitchenette heavily (wash kids bottle and etc..) which i find it not very pleasant.

Also the sea there smelled like dead fish.

Bed had black marks everywhere and looked extremely dirty

Bathroom smelled foul and everything seemed very old and dated.

The sheets were horribly dirty, the bathroom stench made me want to vomit, there appeared to be semen stains on the chairs, our terrace bench didn’t have cushions because the they had bird poop on them.

If you care about noise / smell of construction, you may want to specify that before checking in.

Bathroom smelt bad had to get cleaners to come in and clean again when we checked in.

Views are breathing taking from both the balconies.

In many areas the smell and sight of the hotel premises will improve with proper cleaning sweeping and maintenance.

As we were both exhausted I asked if there was somewhere we could wait and were shown to a hospitality room which smelt like something had died in the air conditioning unit.

We stayed in a two bedroom villa - there was often a sewerage smell from the toilets which was annoying specially given we were paying such high price.

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort

The hotel put on an amazing New Year's Eve gala with live music, fireworks, fire dancers, and a delicious buffet with every delicacy one could ask for to ring in the new year.

My special thanks to the staff from the breakfast restaurant and the pool!

We were greeted by the general manager at breakfast who gave us tips for our holiday as well.

A great Thai style hotel with great service
Loved that they take an order for eggs in the morning rather than queuing up
A decent buffet with western and oriental choices
Good choice of food in the evenings at the restaurants

During breakfast and dinner service we were often served by Kevin and he always greeted us with a smile and the upmost professionalism.

The food is delicious, the setting is beautiful and the drinks menu is varied & tasty!

Food is delicious and feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of central Koh Samui.

Our food was truly delicious and we would really encourage you to do this if you visit!

All the food we tried was cooked to perfection and the breakfast service was superb.

Would definitely go back to this hotel, the breakfast spead was very good.

The breakfast had a great choice of everything, including western and Asian food.

Excellent first trip to Samui and the choice of Melati was one we've enjoyed.. Clean, friendly, breathtaking views from the pool.. Tup, Best (legends) and many others cater for your needs .. Will definitely return, highly recommended place to stay
You don't go hungry, from Breakfast to Dinner ..

Breakfast also very good.we really enjoyed stay at Melati resort.

The food and breakfast choice in the restaurant was extensive, almost spoilt for choice.

Great swimming pool and yummy foods and drinks.

Breakfast was uneventful, again disinterested staff.

Very good breakfast, lunch snacks and evening meals.

We ate breakfast and lunch in the hotel every day, the food was always nice.

😍

We ate floating breakfast for the first time and it was amazing.

On the other hand, the price of the buffet and show was a bit high in terms of value for money.

Taxis from the hotel are expensive, in fact everything in the hotel is more expensive than outside.

Prices in the hotel were more expensive than Thailand averages

but are pricey to start with and then will have service and local gov tax added to them (so an extra 17%), you can get nowhere on foot as the hotel is a way out.

but they are quite expensive in comparison to other experiences we’ve had.

but the following night they could so I paid then the extra to get us out ASAP.

Sadly, a few of the issues, which could be (and I’m sure will be) remedied means it falls behind its 5* competitors which cost the same or less (such as Melia).

Leaving the feeling of haggling on a bazaar, when prices are fixed in the menus.

Bedsheets ripped and holes in duvets covers, when I’ve paid for a 2 bedroom pool villa I felt so disappointed.

We just decided not to bother, I didn’t want to pay for the repetitive food.

Please look elsewhere for that price - significantly better options for the same or even lower rate.

And the stay is very expensive I’m comparison to most other hotels on the island.

Drinks and food are a bit expensive we felt.

Breakfast very good, otherwise lunch and dinner a bit expensive for Thailand and also boring to eat there every day, because nothing going on there, excepting the barbecue evening and one or two other animation happenings;  they offer happy hour for cocktails at the pool.

you pay 105thb for a can of coke which you can get for 20thb in 7eleven.

Melati Beach Resort & Spa

From an awesome breakfast, super nice beachbar to amazing dinner offerings at TKT (Thai/international) and NAMU (Japanese) and finally to Woobar with the WOW-view and great music throughout the Ressort simply amazing!

The food was amazing, I recommend the pancakes!

All things considered, the property's​ an amazing with delicious food and beverages are​ great.

The cuisine was excellent -- breakfast was a real treat and my several other meals were outstanding.

but also the yummy dessert the kitchen prepared for us.

The breakfast at the W is next in line of why i'd keep going back.

Special shout out to Bee from the kitchen table for her exceptional and scrumptious egetarian creations for all the meals, Ammie for her wonderful hospitality and kindness throughout the stay, Lucas and Manoj for making us feel so welcome and homely.

We found ourselves indulging in the delectable breakfast and dinner offerings at the resort every day, unable to resist the tempting array of dishes.

The food variety was just right with plenty of options at the breakfast buffet including mimosas and bloody marys!

Big thanks to Lukas 
TKT breakfast is absolutely delectable.

Highlights included the top-tier breakfast (honestly would have been amazing just with this breakfast), the sweet spots (which my boyfriend specifically chose this resort for, the fire show (which happens every night outside the lobby), and the staff (who were all incredibly friendly, mostly Ammie and Mac.

Another highlight to the beach bar team especially games and the kitchen table, with professional service and of course delicious food from the chefs.

The breakfast buffet, served à la carte style, tempted us to try everything,

Thank you to all the wonderful staff,  from reception to the delicious restaurants and the efficient housekeeping.

The extensive breakfast with unlimited mimosas was definitely a hit.

Also the breakfast was amazing, we had everything we could imagine, and even more.

For breakfast, besides international food, they have quite a lot local and healthy options, do not miss the yum soup noodle.

Additionally, we found the cost of traveling in Samui a bit higher compared to nearby areas.

I wouldn't recommend  if they paid me and will never return!

PS - Please make sure you take advantage of the free shuttles that take you to Cheweng and Fisherman's village, They com in very handy for a place like Koh samui where the taxi is expensive.

Caution, a hotel with a crazy view, beyond that they have a lot to improve, poor service, compared to the expensive price they demand for a room, there is no option to get to the room with a scooter rented by the hotel, only by mini golf, which sometimes you have to wait 10 minutes fifteen minutes, Apologizing is not their problem,

W Hotels Koh Samui is overpriced and does not deserve its five star status.

Zero service (the staff doesn’t care at all), poor maintenance if the beach area .the food was not good and overpriced.

For the amount of money that you pay in w hotel - consider other hotels , the competition of luxury hotel in koi samui is stiffed - the W hotel is just not worth it - the location , service , the hardware itself just below average at best

F&B prices are not included tax and service charge so it’s hard to do calculations when we wanna apply resort credit.

Regarding the menu it was not that great unfortunately, inferior to other hotels in this price range and it was too western-oriented in my opinion.

Of course I contacted the the management and paid for a new one - once again, my apologies for any hussle I might have caused!!

We found this to be good value for money as the food can be quite expensive.

I was asked this questions because the rate was a corporate rate and

I think if you are charging international 5 star prices for food and drinks, then a level of English is required and also a knowledge of the menu, or understanding of what a Bourbon and Coke is?

On a value test, the resort fails to deliver with an average room rate of circa €500 a night for a base jungle villa without any Seaview.

Not sure I would stay again - the W is one of the priciest options on the island and while the service was excellent its hard to justify the price tag when you could get much more impressive views at other hotels for the same price or less (e.g.

This afternoon we arrived at the W hotel for birthday drinks and lunch, having travelled from Le Meridian, Lamai, only to be told (before we’d even stepped out of the car) that we’d need to pay 2000 bht entry just to set foot on the property.

Example - I was paying 400baht for a Long Island and outside I would pay 180 - 200.

A taxi to Fisherman’s Village cost 400THB.

W Koh Samui

The service was excellent, food is delicious.

but the restaurant inside the hotel also served exceptionally fresh and delicious cuisine.

Ash at the reception as well as Nan and Chris at breakfast and the pool along with the others made our stay wonderful.

We booked a Garden View Pool Villa and were upgrade to an Ocean View Villa and also received free breakfast for being Platinum or higher status.

Food at all the restaurants was so yummy!

It is memorable because of the generous gesture, and the breakfast buffet was unmissable!

The breakfast was also amazing which lots of variety

The best breakfast and very good restaurants.

Awesome breakfast and dinner at the view dining.

At View Restaurant ( Staff name Beauty ) she treat us very nicely.Also Hotel Staff specially invited us on Thanks giving day party at Beach side.We also had a opportunity to see Fire show and live band with Complimentary Cocktails during that time ( staff name : Point ) she also take care us nicely & ( Nueng  - Staff Name ) at Breakfast all the Day.Apart from it all staff they are well trained and ready to help round the clock.Before We stayed in Conrad Hilton & W hotel

Breakfast had lots of options, and we had a few restaurants to choose from for our evening meal.

We were very happy with the special breakfast surprise from Sine.

The service during breakfast was excellent.

Two others employees we enjoyed dealing with were Aon and Sine at breakfast.

All restaurants had an excellent choice of food, and the food was delicious and presented very well.

All thanks goes to Mi for being an amazing help and availability at all times , The food at the breakfast made with the talented Chef Arman best fabulous egg benedict and food ever!

We'd always look forward to the breakfast where the watchful team was always on its toes for service.

Aging facilities and poor maintenance

Despite being open for only five years, the facilities appear outdated, lacking proper cleaning and maintenance.

Avoid The Sunset Restaurant  - average food, very poor service and a lot of noise when planes land.

Very poor beach and sharp coral can cut feet.

Is RITZ CARLTON so poor to charge for One Banana and One Apple to guests? 6.
