Mahina Villa Resort Koh Samet

One of the most satisfying hotels I've stayed at so far. Facilities: Considering how hot it is on the island, the rooms are quite spacious. The hotel thoughtfully installed dual air conditioners, and the cooling power is strong enough that even one unit provides ample comfort. Perhaps due to the island's freshwater purification, you might want to bring your own shower filter. Cleanliness: The bedding was exceptionally neat and clean. On our second day, we only asked the hotel to empty the trash, but to our surprise, they went above and beyond, cleaning the entire room and changing the bedding. Environment: No exaggeration, the scenery at this hotel is what attracted me the most. Any photo taken with a camera looks great. From our room, we could even hear the live performances from the restaurant across the way. Waking up, opening the window, feeling the sea breeze, and with this environment – it's absolutely perfect. Service: The butler will meticulously arrange all your transportation, and the service is very attentive. Breakfast is also generous and can be delivered to your room according to your preferences, with them even tidying up afterward. They also arrange car and boat transfers for island arrivals and departures. It's only been two days since I left the hotel, and I'm already thinking about my next stay. I highly recommend the villa with a private pool suite. P.S. The hotel's location is a bit remote. If you don't ride a motorcycle, you can ask the hotel to arrange a Songthaew.

The hotel is a bit far from Diamond Beach, but they offer free shuttle service, and the hotel itself is beautiful. **Amenities:** The facilities are all new, with smart appliances and electric curtains. The hotel provides free snorkeling gear, kids' sand toys, kayaks, and more – you can use them as much as you like. **Environment:** It's very clean, and each room has its own private pool, which made my kids incredibly happy. Breakfast can be delivered to your room or enjoyed buffet-style at the restaurant. For a 5-year-old, an extra breakfast costs 800🐷, while a 2-year-old eats for free. An extra bed also costs 800🐷, which is a bit pricey! In the evenings, the restaurant has performances and a fire show.

A wonderful place for a romantic getaway, we felt right at home. It was warm, clean, and comfortable. 🤗 Absolutely no downsides – it's a new, clean, modern villa with caring staff ♥️. The breakfasts were delicious, as was the food in the restaurant, and the waiters were very attentive. The private beach had no crowds, and in the evenings, there was pleasant live music and an exciting fire show!!! We'd be thrilled to return to this beautiful place 🫶.

How do I even begin? The room itself was beautiful, but for HKD 2000 a night, the complete lack of service was just awful. Only one front desk staff member spoke a little English; the other understood nothing at all. I forgot my travel adapter, which was a huge problem because my child needed it for their milk and I couldn't charge my phone. The location is incredibly remote with absolutely nothing around, and the beach water wasn't very clear either. When I asked the front desk to borrow an adapter, they told me to take a taxi to the city center 7-Eleven to buy one! That's just terrible. For a HKD 2000 per night room, the service was worse than a 4-star hotel back in Bangkok, where they actually provide adapters for guests. Also, there's only one restaurant at the hotel, and the food isn't great, but you have no other options. I just think if you're trying to rebrand as a high-end establishment, you need to offer much better service. You shouldn't be delivering service levels akin to a standard hotel in Songkhla.

The room is new, but not all the functions are fully operational yet. The staff forgot to explain how to use the tablet to control everything in the room. The door locks automatically the moment you step out, which was a problem because I didn't always have my key card on me. The front desk often doesn't answer the phone. When food was served in the room, it was missing all kinds of condiments. The soap and amenities in the room didn't feel worth the high price we paid.

Gorgeous villa with its own pool, right on the beachfront! The view is absolutely stunning.

An absolutely amazing experience! Already missing it.
