Independent in Mae Nam from NZ$60

"This place was a perfect place to stay. It’s very peaceful and quiet. Very close to the beach and pier where the ferries are. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend staying here! "

"We had an amazing time at Explorar. We were a bit hesitant to book at the start given the unknown/name of the hotel, but we're so glad we ended up booking. It was nothing short of amazing, the room, facilities, pool, bar, food (special highlight to the Pad Thai and the wood fire pizzas), and the staff is definitely a highlight. We could name so many people here, Jor, Ticky, Sophia, they were just great! Definitely recommend for anyone looking at exploring Koh Samui."

"We only used it as a stopover so it was ideal and was convenient for airport."

"I booked for 10 nights but only stayed for 5 due to an incident and the hotel was good enough to organise a refund for the balance of the nights not stayed which was appreciated. I highly recommend staying beachfront in villa 1 as the sunrise over the ocean is incredible."

"The stay was relaxing and wonderful "

"Great Breakfast, comfortable beds, fantastic-friendly staff, beautiful environment. Pools are amazing."

"Beautiful food and lovely room just a little out of the way of other restaurants sights and shops so you need to use a driver or taxi But super easy to organise. "

"Perfect quiet, right on the beach place to stay. Convenience stores, restaurants, and massage, very easy walk away. Will stay again! "

"If there was six stars I would give it that. Stayed two nights in a deluxe room and asked if it was possible to upgrade to a room with a pool. They accommodated us. The upgrade was not free but very reasonable and worth the extra money. The breakfast was not the biggest we have had but was one of the tastiest we have had. Staff was super kind. The grounds were well kept. There was a lot of renovation going on but was quiet (no power tools). I would recommend this hotel without reservation to...

"Staff are so helpful and friendly! As a single female I felt safe and taken care of. Beautiful beach, not crowded. Scooter on site for rental, lovely little restaurant on site and 2 min walk to shops and restaurants. Clean rooms. Loved my stay so much I stayed for 10 extra days. I will be back and would recommend this to friends and family!! "
