Sai Kaew Beach Resort
9.2 (585 reviews)

Sai Kaew Beach Resort ★★★★

📍 8/1 Moo 4 Tumbol Phe, Phe Subdistrict, Koh Samet

"The room and service were decent. Perhaps with the rising prices in Thailand, it doesn't stand out as much anymore. To get to and from the hotel from the pier on the island, you'll need to take a songthaew. It's definitely more convenient to rent a motorbike if you're staying on the island, you can even ride to some small beaches in the south to relax. The hotel's restaurant has a nice ambiance and is good for a fancy meal. I'd recommend a street food stall I found – for about 200 baht per person, including four or five beers, the food was delicious. They even sent a small cake on my birthday night."

Tonsak Resort ★★★

📍 8 HF98+27C 54, Phe, Mueang Rayong District, Koh Samet

"Easily the best looking resort on the stretch! With just that right blend of modern without feeling cold/contemporary. The restaurant serves really good food and the fire show was also the best one on the beach. Love the location too. Just steps away from the main drag where there are restaurants, massage places and convenience stores."

Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa
9.2 (109 reviews)

Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa ★★★★

📍 40/11, Phe, Koh Samet

"How do I even begin! I went to Koh Samet with no expectations, but Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa is supposedly the second-best resort on the island. My overall impression wasn't great, mainly due to how the resort handled the broken air conditioning in our bungalow on the first day. We took a private car from downtown Bangkok to Ao Prao Pier (the hotel's private pier, which has its own lounge). Following the resort's email instructions, we boarded the 1:30 PM boat to the resort, which took about 15 minutes. The welcome drink upon arrival was quite good. The resort isn't very large, and there weren't many guests. When we discovered the AC was broken, we immediately contacted housekeeping. From housekeeping to engineering to the front desk, and then to Ctrip, we spent an hour in the sweltering room and outside before finally being moved to another room. It seemed like Ctrip had to intervene to resolve the issue before the front desk staff led us to our new room... The whole process was incredibly frustrating due to the heat! Later, the front desk found me on the beach and offered us an upgraded room. I went to see it but declined, as it was quite dark inside, and I prefer bright, airy rooms when I'm on vacation. She told me the room would be held for us if we changed our minds. Because I didn't move, the front desk came to find me again on the beach and offered a complimentary pizza as compensation. This proactive attitude was a definite plus. We stayed at Le Vimarn for three nights. The rooms are simple, Thai-style wooden bungalows. The 1.8-meter bed was just right for a family of three. The mini-bar is chargeable. If you're visiting Koh Samet, remember to bring a filtered shower head. Breakfast was pretty much the same every day, but it tasted good. We had dinner at Buzz once, and the food was good, but with a 10% service charge and 7% tax, it ended up being a bit expensive! The resort is a 15-minute drive from the main street (where the 7-Eleven is, 200 baht one-way). The front desk can arrange a taxi. Later, we rented a scooter, which we could park on a slope about a 2-minute walk from the front desk. I scraped my foot on a coral reef while swimming, and the front desk provided basic first aid. For the last two days, we stayed at Paradee Resort, which is a sister hotel to Le Vimarn, so they offered a free transfer. However, if you're traveling with kids, I'd highly recommend Paradee Resort – the environment, facilities, and staff are all much better."

Silversand Resort ★★★
"This Silver Sand Resort on Koh Samet was truly terrible. I booked a garden room but was assigned a second-floor room with no elevator. After lugging my suitcases upstairs, I realized the room layout was incorrect, so I had to move again. The new room had sand on the bed, which they claimed was falling from the ceiling. After it was cleaned, I went back to find sand again. The restaurant staff were all surly. They messed up my order because they weren't communicating and didn't even provide cutlery. When I asked for cutlery, they still didn't bring it. It was as if the boss wasn't paying them! Truly awful."

"The hotel's cleanliness was just okay, and the facilities were a bit outdated. The only upside was how close it was to the beach, and the beachside breakfast was decent. There's no elevator, though. They also had a performance going on around 7 PM."

Kira Baya Koh Samed ★★★★★
"It’s one of the great choices for a quick, quiet weekend escape in Samed. The other is Paradee. Overall, it’s a beautifully located resort far distance in a serene spot with lovely private rocky beach, but in terms of facilities and overall experience, it feels more like a solid 4-star resort rather than a true 5-star standard. I highly recommend booking directly with the resort if possible. Direct bookings include complimentary boat transfers to the island as well as land transfers from the pier to the resort, which saves a lot of hassle. One thing I noticed was the high proportion of foreign staff. It felt like the resort lost a bit of that local Thai touch you usually expect when holidaying on the islands."

Tonsak Resort ★★★
"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The room, location, and staff were all good, and the service was friendly. However, for a family of three, we found Tonsak to be more expensive than some of the other lovely resorts nearby. The breakfast buffet was decent, but it wasn’t particularly memorable. The menu was the same every day, so if you’re staying for more than three days, you’ll likely run out of variety and options to enjoy."

"We stayed for 3 days with family in a house, and overall everything was fine. The hotel is a bit worn out, but it's not a deal-breaker. They have good umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach, though it's unclear why the staff isn't very diligent about cleaning that area. The location is excellent, with everything within walking distance, including a 7/11 about a 7-minute walk away."
