Boutique Hotels & Resorts in Mae Nam from NZ$103

"Absolutely beautiful grounds and spacious villas. The beach was impeccably clean and the staff were wonderful. A highlight is the gigantic swimming pool and the amazing breakfast. A very peaceful corner of Samui but close enough to the action with a short taxi ride."

"What a sad way to end a romance package with my girlfriend. I stayed at the W Ko Samui for three nights as part of a package. On day two I got severe food poisoning from a papaya salad cooking class that was included in our package — high fever, couldn’t keep anything down, completely bedridden. When my checkout day came I was in no condition to travel. I called management and asked if I could stay one additional night at a reduced rate given the circumstances. They quoted me a rate higher than what I had originally paid. The hotel was nearly empty. I explained the situation and how unreasonable it felt. They didn’t care. Because I was genuinely too sick to move to another property, I had no choice but to pay it. I’ve spent the last four months traveling throughout Asia and have stayed at numerous Marriott and Ritz-Carlton properties over the years. This was without question the worst customer service experience of the entire trip. Not a single gesture of goodwill — no acknowledgment that their cooking class made me ill, no flexibility, nothing. At this level of hospitality there is no shortage of competition. They have lost all of my future business, and I’d encourage anyone considering this property to keep that in mind."

"Amazing place, loved it! You have access to the beach and a gym, the food is amazing and the people are so genuine and kind. We had an accident and the staff at the hotel helped us so much, gave us a more easily accessible room. They are remarkable and if given the chance we will def go there again!"

"A wonderful scenic resort, away from the hustle & buslte but close enough by taxi. A resort that offers great food, exercise options and nice staff. We wished we had stayed here longer."

"What a find a gem amongst the bigger hotels, 26 ‘rooms’ in total, spread through lush gardens and right on the beach, with a lovely pool overlooking the ocean. There seemed to be more staff than guest, who were friendly and nothing was too much trouble, they brought round cooling towels and complimentary fruit on sticks to the pool in the afternoons! Restaurant was excellent, open airy, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was amazing even had champagne at no charge!! Spa was very good, we only had massages, they were really good and super affordable. Can highly recommended this hotel"

"Fantastic place and people. Amazing villas. Would highly recommend, although I understand it is closing for a 2 year renovation very soon. "

"Very new, room was nice, the staff were very friendly and the location was exactly what I was looking for. The food was also very nice despite a limited menu."
