Centara in Koh Samet from NZ$115

"Very comfortable bed and spacious rooms. The resort faces directly onto a private beach. Each evening there were also fire shows on the beach. There is music that plays until late at night at some nearby bars, but they didn’t bother us too much. There are a lot of mosquitoes though, so make sure to bring insect repellent"

"beautiful and serene. and the food options and prices were great! oh n the free breakfast was quite nice too! the staff? 100% awesome"

"The staff at this property are so lovely! Kind and welcoming. The room we had was dreamy and the beach was gorgeous. We visited in July, unsure what to expect from the weather, and we enjoyed some blue sky! The breakfast was delicious and both the O and Breezes were high quality. Definitely a more up scale experience. Great memories! "

"Excellent resort located right on the main beach, the place was super clean, the team were super friendly and very accomodating. We stayed in the cottages, the older part of the resort, close to the private beach, the rooms there were in good condition and very comfortable. "

"It’s a very beautiful property. It is located in a very secluded part of the island. I wish I could’ve been there for more days."

"Wonderful location, very close to all the restaurants and also wonderful beach location. Recommend!"
