Casa de Mar - Koh Samui

I stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights and received excellent service. All the staff were lovely, polite, and humble. The accommodation itself was a Superior Room with a soft, comfortable bed. The exterior was even more stunning; the sea on this side is beautiful, especially at low tide when you can see a pristine white sandbar stretching as far as the eye can see, surrounded by mountains, and you can watch the sunset from there. Plus, the breakfast had a wide variety of delicious options!😋 As for the resort's location, it's very close if you're coming from the airport, about 10 minutes. However, it's a bit further if you're coming from the pier. There are restaurants nearby, so it doesn't feel isolated, but the hotel itself is located down an alley and requires a slight uphill walk. There's plenty of parking for motorbikes, and probably space for about 4-5 cars. The resort interior is very peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend it! 👍

This hotel is located on Chaweng Beach, very close to the airport. I was quite apprehensive before arriving, not knowing what to expect. But once I got there, I realized I made the right choice. The hotel is beautiful. We booked a room in the same building as the front desk, and they upgraded us to a king-size bed plus a small bed. The restaurant and villa rooms are across the street, offering breakfast with a stunning sea view every day. After breakfast, you can just grab a lounge chair and enjoy the incredible scenery, sitting there facing the ocean all day long. Most of the guests are from Europe and America. The front desk staff and restaurant servers are all very enthusiastic and helpful, answering every question. Room cleaning is also quick and thorough. The hotel offers massages at reasonable prices, and the pasta, burgers, pizzas, and drinks at the restaurant are all delicious and moderately priced. The only thing to note is that the road leading from the main street to the hotel is a bit steep with uphill and downhill sections, which can be a bit tiring if you're pulling luggage.

Overall, a satisfactory experience. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and both the pool and the view were a definite plus. However, a major drawback was the bathroom: it was poorly laid out, especially the toilet area where space was very limited. There was also limescale and quite low water pressure. For rooms not on the first line, the balcony was a real bonus, but the presence of air conditioning extractors on it diminished the comfort. Ultimately, the second-line rooms gave more of a 3-star than a 4-star impression.

The hotel pretty much has all the facilities you'd need, except for a private beach. The rooms are basic but perfectly adequate. While the hotel pool and restaurant aren't spectacular, they're charming and cozy. Overall, compared to another hotel I stayed at in Bali that cost 4-5k per night, this place offers really great value for money.
