"We stayed for a week and enjoyed it overall. The room is comfortable and the pool is good. The staff is friendly and the restaurant food is delicious. This place is really far away from major attractions and the infrastructure around is nonexistent. Also, the beach is not developed and you would need water shoes to walk around. There are other beaches around but you would need a taxi to get there. The atmosphere in the resort was peaceful."

"Overall the resort is well placed and has all the basic elements for a good time. 15 min walk to beach and shopping centre, so be prepared to wander and explore. Lots of rules, follow these and you won’t have any issues with management. Limited opening hours of poolbar and play areas (8pm closing) makes after dinner partying to be taken offsite. Low season at our visit, which gave us the resort nearly to ourselves. Airport transfer available, but grab just as cheap if preferred. If planning...

Top Big Buddha Beach Hotel Reviews

Chaweng Garden Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The location and the layout was perfect"

Punnpreeda Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was good overall, and the stay was comfortable. The main inconvenience was the lack of on site parking, with only street parking available, which can be challenging. Breakfast was acceptable, although it was fairly standard and didn’t particularly stand out. We also experienced an issue with our room door not securing properly. We made do for the few nights we were there, but this is certainly something that should be addressed for future guests. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, with a few areas that could be improved."

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay staff where very helpful"

The Privilege Hotel Ezra Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, pool was nice in my room, breakfast was limited options."

Hyatt Regency Koh Samui

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience in a great property with very good food and lovely staff."

Chaweng Regent Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at the Chaweng Regent periodically for 15–20 years. It has an excellent location, a lovely beach and pleasant pools, within easy walking distance of central Chaweng but away from the busiest area. However, service can feel geared towards high-volume package tourism, which is frustrating when paying the full room rate. On this visit, my room was not ready at the advertised check-in time. After I complained, I was given a very comfortable replacement that appeared to have been prepared for honeymoon guests. Having just unpacked, I was then asked to move to my original room. I inspected it but declined: it was in a poor location beside the children’s pool and noticeably inferior. A few days later, the hotel generously upgraded me to an excellent beachfront bungalow, which compensated for the inconvenience. Nevertheless, this was my second stay this year, and rooms within the same category have varied considerably in location, condition and quality. Despite paying the full rate, I was concerned that my original allocation appeared to be one of the least desirable rooms. The facilities and location remain excellent, and this quieter visit was more relaxing than my stay in March. However, the inconsistency between rooms would make me nervous about booking again."

Villa Labaron

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay here. Small family feel. Excellent value for money. This was our favourite stay whilst on Samui. The owner, Val was very helpful. Ideal location. Will be back"

Chi Samui Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing place, attentive staff, good restaurant / bar. Good pool area. Penthouse was fantastic."

Samui Pier Beach Front Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Right on the beach and a great spot to lounge in the sun. It is more of a family spot with lots of kids."
