Hotel is situated right on the beach, which is lovely. Great sized pool area, breakfast was good. Staff were fine, not overly friendly but not bad. Even though it’s in a busy area you are just at the end so you get no noise from the bars.

Holiday of a lifetime

Amazing beautiful resort, we’re lucky enough to have been staying in the suite with private pool and direct beach access. Every one was so warm and helpful. Definitely 10/10

Unpleasantly Surprised

Check in was slow, plus we were interrupted halfway through while three of them dealt with another customer who just walked through the door. Very odd. The rooms were quite pokey, with quite a strange configuration. No draft beer or beers offered during happy hour, only cocktails. Place is very quiet in the evening - the pool bar is none existent. This hotel is about a 10/15 minute walk to the action, very quiet and quite run down surroundings. For the money they’re charging guests it should be a lot better than it is. I believe they work on a charge as much as you can policy because I doubt they get any repeat business.

Average at best

Lot's of confusion at the property. Staff mishandled billing, among other things.

Service could be better

The hotel itself is very nice. Great location. Quiet. My only issue was with the service. Our room smelled strongly of sewage. We spoke to the front desk. Both very nice ladies but it was clear they didn’t want to change our room. Said they would have the housekeeper do something to help. Ok fine. We left for the day and coming back it was fine for a bit then later in the night it came back again. With 1 night left we figured we’d just deal with it. Walking around at night, it seemed to be that whole area having a strong sewage smell. We get it. Islands have these issues sometimes. The bartender - was in some kind of bad mood. My partner asked for a menu and she gave this nasty face as though it was difficult to hand over a menu. Whatever. Maybe she had a bad day. Lastly, the day we check out I asked if they could call a taxi for us. Instead of saying yes, we were told to walk a little out and find on our own. What? The hotel is in a quiet area so finding a taxi that early is a bit difficult. I politely asked again do you have a number I can call then. Finally she said ok I can call one. So why not call one when I initially asked? Just these small things turned me off to this hotel. We don’t ask for much and always tipped our server and even the rude bartender. Otherwise the grounds were very nice and relaxing.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights, it was simply excellent, beautiful hotel, excellent pool, magical beach with white sand, the hotel allows you to take SUP and kayaks, is on the beach, the main street - 2 minutes and a whole world of restaurants and massages. Bottom line - we will be back again

Very relaxing hotel in a beautiful location

Our favourite hotel and location during our recent trip to south Thailand. Great facilities in the room (toiletries /beach towels etc) and very quiet. Pool and beach location was stunning, free use of paddle board and kayak. Always a bed free and never overcrowded. Breakfast was lovely, we particularly liked the range of fruit available and the egg station. We used bar for lunch and cocktails during the day which were also great quality. The hotel also did a free trip to the local hill top temple, this was a lovely touch. Overall a very relaxing hotel in a beautiful location

Passable

Hôtel au calme de l’agitation. Cependant niveau accueil au petit déjeuner c’est déplorable personne ne dis bonjour ou viens demander si tu veux un café malgré que cela sois un buffet. Voir le staff assis c’est surprenant.

Unfortunately this hotel didn’t live up to expectations after reading previous reviews. Check in wasn’t great as only 1 person on reception and lots of people collecting keys at 2pm. No assistance with luggage to room. Room was exceptionally small. On the plus side the pool and restaurant area was very well looked after with helpful staff. Access directly onto beach with hotel sunbeds available.

Loma Samuilla

Huoneemme oli merinäköalalla, altaan vieressä. Huone oli mukava samoin vuode. Tyynyt olivat ehkä hieman kuluneet jo. Huoneessa olisi voinut olla vaatteille joitakin hyllyjä tms. nyt oli vain hengarivaatteille paikka. Siivous toimi hyvin. Hotellin alue muutenkin meidän mieleen. Aurinkotuoleja oli riittävästi ja altaitakin useampi. Meri vielä ihan vieressä. Aamupala oli riittävä. Henkilökunta oli aivan mielettömän ystävällisiä.

Loin de nos attentes..

Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans la meilleure chambre de l’hôtel La Vida Samui (avec piscine privée et vue sur la mer). Si la chambre était convenable et la vue magnifique, nous sommes très loin d’un service digne d’un hôtel 4 étoiles, comme ils se revendiquent. Certes, la piscine et la vue rattrapent un peu l’expérience, mais la piscine manque clairement de privacy, ce qui gâche l’intimité. Quant au personnel, il n’était pas du tout au niveau : accueil peu professionnel, services réduits au strict minimum. Le point le plus décevant fut notre expérience du petit-déjeuner flottant, commandé deux jours à l’avance. Lorsqu’il nous a été apporté, sous une pluie battante, un technicien effectuait la maintenance de la piscine, à l’heure précise où nous avions demandé le service (en raison d’un vol à prendre ensuite). Le personnel n’a même pas jugé bon de reporter ou adapter la prestation, ce qui a ruiné l’expérience. De plus, le petit-déjeuner flottant nous a été facturé 1000BTH, alors que le petit-déjeuner était déjà inclus dans notre réservation. Je comprends qu’un supplément puisse être appliqué pour ce service, mais un tel montant semble excessif, surtout compte tenu des conditions dans lesquelles il nous a été servi. En résumé, cet hôtel n’est pas à la hauteur de ses prétentions et encore moins de son classement supposé. La vue ne suffit pas à compenser un service si décevant. Nous ne reviendrons pas.

Great little resort, perfect for just walking into the centre of Chaweng. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of food and drinks. We only ate the Thai food at lunch and dinner which was amazing. Would go back again.

It is far enough away from the center of Chaweng to offer some peace, but close enough to walk into town easily. Rooms are very very small, but clean. Breakfast was good, pool area is nice. However, if you like to swim in the ocean, this beach is not the place for you. It is super shallow and rocky.
