Pavilion Samui Villas & Resort

Pavilion Samui Villas & Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The Room: We stayed in the balcony suite with the outdoor soaker tub, so let's start there! The room was clean & comfortable and had great A/C. The bed was large and comfy. The view was obstructed, but you could still see the mountains in the distance. We have absolutely no complaints. At times, you could hear your neighbors, but I lowered the blinds to use the soaker tub comfortably and privately. The Staff: Absolutely exceptional. They were helpful and conscientious about small details; leaves weren't on the grounds for more than a few minutes before they were swept up. The bar staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly made great cocktails. Breakfast was exceptional: freshly made omelets, a variety of cuisines, and all tasty and fresh. The beach security really stood out to us. He was kind to the beach locals but asked them to leave if they got pushy, which we really appreciated. Not all properties are like this (we also stayed in Chawang, and the local sellers were a bit much; there was no security there.) The beach: Pristine! Hands down the prettiest water we have ever seen, we have gone to St. Lucia and preferred this water. The location keeps the water calm (this isn't the case everywhere on the island). Lamai has activities, but it is calm, so you can choose whether to party or relax. As noted, we stayed at both Chawang and Lamai; we preferred Lamai. Surrounding Area: Don't forget to go left AND right! Plenty to do."
