"We wouldn't know where to start. The villa is amazing, the food is high class but best of all, the staff have made our trip. Their personalities, smiles, and kind gestures have made this one of the best experiences we could ever imagine. It is a little peace of paradise with the combination of the view from every room is incomprehensible.
Would definitely come again!
Thank you again for the amazing experience."

"The Rock was a beautiful place. Staff was amazing and the place itself is beautiful. We stayed in the ocean front villa, which is actually three separate “rooms”. A kitchen - stove, fridge, toaster and toaster oven, kettle, etc, with place to sit to eat and a toilet. Then two separate suites for sleeping etc. We were two couples, so perfect for us.
Pool is amazing and there’s a nice shady room right off the pool to get out of the sun.
Beach is pretty, but not a swimming beach. When the tide...

"First time holiday at Koh Samui, Coconut Beach Resort. We stayed in a bungalow with a beach front view. The first few days we didn't leave the resort, it had everything we needed. The restaurant had great food, happy hour from 4-6, beach massage and water sports. Located well, near markets, restaurant and entertainment. I would love to come back again. Nothing to complain about everything was good."

"Veldig fin beliggenhet i forhold til både strand og uteliv. Hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening, god seng og stort kjøleskap, men… hotellet er gammelt og nedslitt og renholdet var så som så til tross for bra med tips hver dag. Bassenget er lite og søtt, og det hadde vi stort sett for oss selv når vi ville benytte det, stort pluss!"

"The bed was of a huge (king) size, but for our standards a bit to hard, stopper could bring more comfort.
Nothing wrong with this stay, most certainly not for the price they are charging.
Its a private place to sleep and shower and store your goods while enjoying the Samui atmosphere."

"Owner was super nice and very welcoming- gave us a high floor room as requested (thank you) which was huge a with a kitchen and massive balcony! Pool is lovely and good for proper swimming- not many sunbeds (and a lot of “towels on sunbeds at 8am going on!!” but we are beach people anyway! Great location tucked away behind the main road in lovely gardens! So quiet. All staff amazing and rooms clean - beds showers great. 5 mins to the beach and bottled water given every day! Fantastic place and...

"God placering
Venligt personale ( mange fra Myanmar / få Thai )
Værelser fine kunne godt trænge til mere lys og lidt vedligeholdelse
Morgenmad buffet ok og et ok udvalg ikke stort men man kunne vælge og man kunne sidde direkte til stranden
Pool direkte ned til stranden
Stranden var super fin
Strand stole og fin strand med muligheder for massage drinks og mad direkte fra hotel
Kunne godt finde på at komme igen "

"Peaceful, friendly, and right on the beach – perfect stay in Lamai
We stayed at Sand Sea Beach Resort in Lamai for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. The whole place has such a peaceful, relaxing vibe — quiet but still close enough to everything you need.
We booked the Royal Suite with Seaview, which was spotless, spacious, and literally steps from the beach. Having our own private sun loungers right out front was perfect. The staff even decorated the bed with a “Happy Anniversary” message and provided slippers and bathrobes — a really thoughtful touch.
The staff were all incredibly friendly and courteous, always smiling and quick to reply to messages on WhatsApp whenever we needed anything.
Breakfast was pretty simple — a few rotating hot dishes (usually a Thai option, pancakes or French toast, and sausages), plus an egg station and continental bits like croissants, pastries, and coffee. Lunch and dinner, though, were brilliant. The food was delicious, with both Thai and European options that were all super tasty and fairly priced.
The beach area was clean and well maintained, Wi-Fi was decent (not lightning fast but fine for browsing), and the laundry service was great too.
The location couldn’t be better — you literally step out of your room onto the sand, and you’re less than 10 minutes from a 7/11 and about 15 from the Lamai Night Market. It’s the ideal mix of peaceful and convenient.
Great views, excellent staff, peaceful stay!"
"For the price this place cannot be beat. Amazing location near night market (but I prefer fresh market- even closer and cheaper). Nice pool and 5 min walk to the beach. They will give you towels but it’s also easy to walk along the beach and snag a lounger and umbrella at a bar or resort if you buy a drink or two. Perfectly clean and comfy staff was amazing!"
"Nice resort on beachfront. We had a superior Seaview room which was very comfortable.
Glad we didn’t take a bungalow as we were told they were noisy with lots of mosquitos. Lovely pool with lots of sun lounges and more sun lounges on the beach. Close to everything including shops restaurants and food markets. Enjoyed staying here and extended our stay for another 5 nights."
"Really enjoyed our stay here. Staff SO friendly and helpful. Great location: right on a beautiful beach (golden sand, clear warm water, no rocks & no seaweed).
Nearby are lots of bars/cafes/restaurants to walk to as well as Lamai night time food market (huge choice!) with nightly live music, cocktails etc.
Hotel itself serves great food (huge menu) in it’s restaurant & we even had dinner at a table in the middle of the beach (private/beautiful: no extra but u can pay more for fancy stuff). Wed night was a bbq & salads etc with a crazy fire show after: def recommend! Good prices!
Reviews prior made me nervous but it was so much better. Comfy bed (best of 14 hotels on our tour!) robes, slippers, toiletries & waters/tea/coffee. Towels for pool/beach given daily. Bathroom a bit dated but still adequate.
Many plug sockets.
Main bedroom lovely with fridge, lovely lighting and balcony/chairs/table and drying rack on it. Safe area.
Pool area really good (long hours).
When we checked out the hotel stored our bags for free and supplied us with fresh towels and a changing area with showers for free.
Can’t believe is not 4 star & our time there/whole hotel & island experience was 10/10! "
