STORY BY VI & PAUL HUGHES, 2017
No matter where you stay when you visit Koh Samui in Thailand, you will not have an overall experience better than at the Samui Resotel Beach Resort, located on the southern end of Chaweng Beach.
We stayed in a deluxe pool access room, which gave us a spacious 46 square metres with separate full ensuite including bath; tv, fridge and coffee/tea making facilities with comfortable couch; all of which opened onto our own plunge pool which overlooked the main pool area.
Officially listed as a four star resort, we could want for nothing. The breakfasts were delicious with ample choices to suit every palate, and the first evening meal was so enjoyable we dined there 50% of the time.
One of the features that made Samui Resotel a standout among most of the places we have stayed around the world was the staff – they were by far the most courteous, friendly and helpful you will ever find.
The Thai people are known for their joyous smiles and “sawat-dee ka” (female) or “sawat-dee karp” (male), accompanied by hands joined together like in prayer and a slight bow.
At Samui Resotel this was taken to a new level, with no request being a problem and it seemed like a small army of happy “aides” ready and willing to help.

Feedback
We recently went to Koh Samui…what a beautiful island, the beaches, the mountains, the people, what a great place! We stayed on the southern end of Chaweng Beach, which is very popular to the tourists. Because we are a little older we like a good night sleep so the Samui Resotel Resort & Spa was perfect for us.
The staff were so friendly and helpful and even remembered our names every morning. The Buffet breakfast was a" big hit" with my husband, everything from fresh fruit (the pineapple was the best we have ever had), bacon and eggs cooked as you want them, and delicious cakes. What more can I say!
The resort is right on the beach, with deck chairs and bar service. In the afternoon after a bit of shopping (of course) the pool bar was great for cocktails with happy hour offering two for the price of one. We were very sad to leave when our holiday came to an end. Just leaving the friendly Koh Samui faces that had become like family in our short stay was very difficult.
I definitely would recommend this resort to everyone and we look forward to going back again one day soon.
