Koh Samet Resorts

“Suncloud Koh Samet has a great location, very close to the beach, which makes it easy to enjoy the island. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were good for a short stay. Service could be improved as it was a bit slow at times, but overall it’s a nice spot if you want convenience and easy access to the beach.🏖️

Samet Bell House was good value. The room was clean and the bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated. Our bungalow was a good size for two people. We were a 2 minute walk from the beach and close to many restaurants. We enjoyed a quiet week at Samet Bell House.

Very nice service! The staff was so nice, helpful and freindly. They upgrade our room the beachfront room. I would recommend this place to people who like peaceful trip and enjoy privacy.

We were a large group and booked late, so there weren't many options available, and I didn't have high expectations for this hotel. However, the experience was still very poor. The hotel's check-in policy wasn't very clear; I couldn't figure out if children staying required an extra charge. So, we just booked five rooms for two nights. My room was on the second floor and had no hot water, so I had to shower in other rooms. Even then, the water in those rooms wasn't very stable, fluctuating between strong and weak, and hot and cold. The most troublesome issue was insect bites. There were ants on the bed. Although the staff sprayed insecticide during cleaning, I was still bitten quite badly. For someone like me, who suffers from papular urticaria, it was particularly annoying. Outside the hotel, there's a convenience store, restaurants, and motorbike rentals. There's also a slightly smaller beach nearby, and the environment is decent. Diamond Beach is about a 10-minute walk away. In the evenings, the bar outside was a bit noisy, which kept the elderly in our group from sleeping. Overall, young people with low expectations might consider it. But for families like ours, with seniors and children, you'd really need to weigh whether you can accept these shortcomings.

✨ “We had a great stay at Samed Hideaway Resort. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our trip. The pool was a nice spot to relax with a sea view, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Location is a bit away from the main beach, but easy to reach with a motorbike or taxi. Perfect for couples who want both relaxation and access to the island’s activities.”

Mixed impressions) For families with children, the pool was a great help: two depths, for babies and a maximum of 110 cm. We vacationed with my 9-year-old daughter in June 2025. There were waves in the bay, so we often swam in the pool. For breakfast: buffet (watermelon, melon, tea, coffee, juices, cornflakes, milk, green lettuce, cherry tomatoes, white rice, rice with vegetables, with chicken, sausages, fried eggs, white toast, jam, butter, etc.) We got a room in which the water in the shower and sink did not drain, not comfortable at all. But we lasted two nights) as in other houses - I don't know) Overall, good. We rented a motorbike and traveled around the island: we were on other beaches and at View points. At the very end of the island, there are gorgeous views!

We loved everything. The staff was friendly and polite. The hotel was very clean, the towels were pleasantly scented, and we were given more than we needed. We were happy to extend our stay. The breakfasts were delicious; I really liked the avocado one.

The hotel is located in a good location, very close to the main street leading to the beach. But you can't hear the street noise. However, you can hear your neighbors on the nearest terrace, but this is not critical. The terrace itself is large, there is a clothes dryer and a table at which it was nice to have breakfast. But mosquitoes can bite you in the evening, take your own products. The hotel is clean, there is shampoo, shower gel, kettle, refrigerator, hair dryer and air conditioning. Towels, trash cans are changed every day and the floors are wiped. We really liked this hotel!

The location was good. Pretty much in-between the pier and the beach. Bed was comfortable and the AC is great. There is a school very close that may get loud during school hours. Kids being loud and having fun doesn't bother me though. The front desk is not manned. No line/WhatsApp number to call. Reception closed at 5pm.

Saikaew Villa 65 is less than a 5 minute walk from the songthiaw drop off to get to the accommodation, after the 10 minute taxi ride from Ban Phe pier. We booked 3 Superior Twin rooms for family but the rooms were definitely not 'superior'. The rooms lacked any finesse, with a broken lampshade, gaps under the doors for mozzies to get in, a broken light in the bathroom and a leaking sink pipe, dodgy fridge connection and dead batteries in the aircon remote. The room itself was clean and the service for room cleaning was good, but the surrounding area around the rooms was dilapidated, with broken down storage buildings, remnants of building works and rubbish bags and cleaning equipment on display in the walkways each day. There was a definite lack of attention to detail. It was backpacker style but not with a backpacker price tag. I booked the rooms on a balcony, with a view of the courtyard garden, but there was nowhere to sit outside the room, no chairs provided, just small tables. The location is very good, a minute or so walk away from the beach. The attached restaurant, 'Joe's', was very efficiently run and the service there was excellent (thank you to the waiting staff, who were very friendly and helpful). For 60 baht for the day, a deckchair could be rented with an umbrella right on the sea front, and the restaurant staff provided towels for the deckchairs when asked. If you plan on spending little time in your rooms, and you don't mind the outside appearance of the accommodation, then Sai Kaew 65 is a great place to base yourself for all that Sai Kaew and Koh Samed has to offer.
