Top Hotels in Koh Samet
Explore Koh Samet with stays near iconic landmarks, luxury hotels, and top boutiques for the best shopping and dining
Sai Kaew Beach Resort ★★★★
"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."
Silversand Resort ★★★
Overlooking a picturesque bay, this lively beachfront stay is known for its sunset views, water sports, and laid-back bar scene on Koh Samet.
Avatara Resort ★★★
Perched on a hillside with panoramic ocean views, this boutique resort boasts spacious rooms, an infinity pool, and a peaceful escape from the crowds.
Kira Baya Koh Samed ★★★★★
Kira Baya (คีรา บายา) is a boutique resort inspired by Gauguin’s Tahiti, offering guests a liberating and immersive experience in nature, without constraints or boundaries. Nestled in Koh Samed, the resort is designed to offer guests an immersive retreat where nature and comfort seamlessly blend. Kira Baya embraces a raw yet refined approach to island living—where woven textures, organic materials, and the rhythm of the ocean shape each moment.
Paradee ★★★★★
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments, and facials. Soak up the sun on the private beach or enjoy other leisure facilities, including an outdoor pool and a steam room. Other perks at this resort include free Wi-Fi, gift shops/newsstands, and wedding services.
Tonsak Resort ★★★
"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."
Sawasdee Coco Resort ★★
"Rooms really clean, mood and vibes are really nice. And the breakfast are really lovely."
Samed Cabana Resort ★★★
Overlooking the turquoise waters of Ao Phai, this rustic-chic resort offers thatched-roof cabanas, beachfront dining, and easy access to the nightlife.
Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa ★★★★
"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."

Choose the Perfect Koh Samet Stay for Your Travel Needs
Ao Prao Resort
"The room and staff service were excellent, living up to many reviews I'd read. However, I have one suggestion: the bathroom was too damp, the shower pressure was weak, and the sink felt too low, requiring a significant bend to use. The breakfast was good, delicious, and offered a wide variety."
Samed Hideaway Resort
"The hotel is clean, and the rooms are spacious. The pool is also large and well-maintained. It's not far from the pier and has good cafes and restaurants nearby."
Malibu Samed Resort
"I was really disappointed with this hotel. The entrance was hard to find, and you have to walk through a narrow path with noisy generators and air conditioning units. The beach area was messy and not well cared for, which made it hard to relax. The room wasn’t great either; there was paint chipping on the walls, and it felt damp and uncomfortable. Breakfast was very basic and not good at all. The hotel felt old and poorly maintained. I wouldn’t stay here again."
Suncloud Koh Samet
Situated on the serene eastern coast of Koh Samet, this beachfront retreat offers modern rooms with sea views and easy access to Ao Wong Duean’s calm waters.
La Lune Beach Resort
"The hotel itself and its location are very good. However, I must honestly say I would have liked a bit more friendliness from the staff. Especially at breakfast, the ladies were more occupied with their phones than with what they were actually there for. The catering is appropriate for the hotel's category; there's nothing to complain about there."
Sunrise Villas Seaview
"Very close to the pier with beautiful scenery."
Baan Ploy Sea
"The water pressure in the shower was too low, and the beach wasn't great either."
The C Samet Beach Resort
When you stay at The C Samet Beach Resort in Rayong, you'll be on the beach, just steps from Khao Laem Ya - Mu Ko Samet National Park and Ao Wong Duan Beach. This beach hotel is 9 km from Suan Son Beach and 3 km from Pineapple Beach.
Stellars Samed Resort
"This is my go-to place every time I visit Samet! 😍 The staff are always smiling and the service is excellent."
Vimarn Samed Resort
"This hotel's price is entirely reflected in its location. It's surrounded by the sea with plenty of food options along the beach. Although it's far from the main street, you won't need to go there for food and drinks. The rooms, however, are another story; the facilities are extremely poor. We booked three rooms, and either the AC was broken or the toilet was clogged. The price wasn't cheap, but the rooms felt more like a youth hostel. The breakfast selection was also very limited."
Diamond Beach Resort Rayong City
"The hotel has a great location, and the beach area is fantastic. My only complaint is that the breakfast area is too small for the number of guests, and they should be quicker to refill items. The rooms are basic but clean. There's always a lot of music at the beach, but that didn't bother me. However, my room was never cleaned during my four-day stay. The staff are unfriendly; when I greeted them in Thai, all I got was a meager nod and no response. I'm used to a different level of hospitality in Thailand."
Samed Tropical Resort
Tucked away on a quiet southern bay, this tropical hideaway boasts garden and sea view bungalows, ideal for travellers seeking privacy and nature.
