Hotels in Bo Phut, Koh Samui

Overall, it is very good. The room price is reasonable and satisfactory. Most importantly, there is music to listen to 24 hours a day. The downside is that it is a bit loud and not suitable for families. The room is close to the road and there is the sound of cars at night. It is very loud and you can't sleep. The service is very good. The food is delicious. Everything is in the restaurant, including breakfast and food from the restaurant or the Beach Club cocktails. Everything is good.

I read many reviews about this resort and studied the Mantra Samui website, but never learned until after I booked (4 nights stay) my room that they had cancelled , during Covid, the regular shuttle that took guests down the hill to Fisherman Villa. I learned this because I called the hotel before my trip to ask some questions and also ask how to reserve a place on their shuttle. The resort does have one auto/driver that will drive you down to the bottom of the hill if it is there, and if it is not picking up someone at the airport. The shuttle delivers you directly to the bottom of the hill, is pretty much is just a local road. Then you can wave down a taxi and negotiate the price. Some fun! The Mantra Sumai should update their website to say the regular shuttle has been cancelled, and replaced by their maybe available one car. Continuing my story... We booked a massage at another hotel that is about 20 minutes away, and gave ourselves one hour to get there. So the night before we reserved to get the ride down to the bottom of the hill for the next day afternoon. When we went to reception, we were informed there was an accident, which was a flat tire, and the tire 'might' be fixed in half an hour and then another 20 minutes to get back to the Mantra. They apparently felt no responsibility to contact us. Just wait for the guests to show up and then tell them. They felt no responsibility to call the driver for any update. They then offered to call a taxi, but that would take about 20 minutes to arrive. Also when you call a taxi there is no opportunity for negotiation. My hour was dwindling. Well 20 is better than maybe 30 + 20 minutes. So they called the taxi. Luckily the Mantra driver showed up after 15 minutes, and the taxi was cancelled. My conclusion, after all the interfaces with reception, is they have a poor sense of responsibility and lacking the ability for logical thinking to provide a good guest experience. There are other examples beyond the above. Our suite room was in good condition, and everything functioning. Well, except the phone did not work, but I did not need that. The suite has a king size bed and a separate built in bed in the back of the living room. OK, so 4 people can stay. But the flaw in the suites is there is only a 2 person love seat to sit on. There is no chair, and no desk. It is no fun to use your laptop when the coffee table level is below your knees. A simple 4 leg table for a desk, and a simple chair would be nice, and not cost very much. They do have an on-site co-work room somewhere, but I did not use it. I think it is an extra cost and I did not have that much work to do anyway. The highlight of the Mantra Samui was the included breakfast. There are many cooked to order choices plus a buffet of juices, fruits, cereals, yogurt, pastries, and several breads you can toast yourself. We tried every item on the breakfast menu and all were nicely done and tasty. Very good coffee and tea made to order i

This is my favorite hotel ever Holiday Inn Samui. Perfectly Breakfast, Fully furnished room, Big swimming pool, Kids playground, Kids Club and etc.I have to mention this; we met ‘Khun Nim’ at the great breakfast restaurant and she took our family to the Kid club… After 3 days our child almost sleep there. They’ve got 3 or 4 staffs am not sure to take care of your children and also break time to clean the room, toys and etc. For parents are perfect cause you can leave them there, some information paper to sign, just don’t worry they’ve lots of activities for your children; playing, listening, watching, painting, drawing and climbing. We need more time here.

We stayed for 4 nights in a beach front pool villa. Celes resort has two parts to it, an old and a new part. They both have their own driveway entrance. We stayed in the new part and it was blissful. It has a spacious airy feel, with high rooflines, peaceful well maintained gardens. Speakers in the gardens playing faint beach style music has you walk the main pathways. The hotel pool in the new part overlooks bophut beach and also has a bar and lots of deck chairs and umbrellas around the pool. The breakfast has an excellent selection. The best I experienced this holiday. The old and new Celes share the same breakfast area. You can sit at the beach, or inside. Lots of staff available if you need any assistance. Our villa was superb. The king size bed was way bigger than a king size. The biggest bed I have ever experienced in a hotel. The room is very spacious, with a large day bed at the from window which overlooks the villa pool and bophut beach. The bathroom is large, with a bath in front on a full length window which overlooks the beach. You can draw the blinds if you wish for full privacy. The villa also has a number of items in the mini bar, including beer, that are free of charge and replaced each day by housekeeping. The villa pool is massive and perfect temp, there are sections in shade if you want that, or full sun. A very large couch/daybed with lots of cushions and a counter levered roof for some shade. Two seperate deck chairs and an umbrella over it. There are stairs and a lockable gate so that you can access the beach directly from your villa. The beach in front of the villa is lovely, so peaceful and glassy in the mornings. We had one day of rain and wind, but apart from that it was magnificent. You can walk about 10 mins along the beach to fishermans village where lots of top quality restaurants, cafes, shopping, massages can be found. The hotel also has a free shuttle twice a day that can take you to fishermans village or Chaweng if you wish. We dined in the hotel restaurant for lunch one day and the food was excellent. We hired a scooter and parked it at the resort with no issues. I highly recommend this resort, if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, then this place is for you

Had an amazing stay at the Bandara resort. We had room 146 which was great and the gardens were Beautiful!! Special shout out to Kitti , who is a fantastic host and made our stay extra special!! A lovely house keeper for our first week who worked very hard to make our room look amazing and smell Devine when came back after a day out. And Faye/kaye sorry I’m not 100% at breakfast she was lovely too. Special staff deserve a special mention!! We will definitely return! Great location to walk to fisherman’s village for great restaurants x 😀

This is one of the most fabulous resorts out of many resorts I've stayed in all over Asia, indeed. Starting with the cool and elegant lobby and the amazingly friendly and professional staff, to the succulent breakfast buffet, serving everything from cereal to noodle soup to omelet to fried rice to various and changing hot dishes, to a wonderful beach, this gorgeous resort truly has it all. I've opted for a garden villa which is spacious and sophisticated and cozy, and is kept in pristine shape by a very meticulous staff. Lastly, this slice of heaven seems to be orchestrated/directed by a wickedly handsome and immensely capable man who is in many places all at once and always ready to answer any questions with a delicious smile. Great job, Bo Phut Resort and Staff, for providing a magnificent and memorable stay in amazing Thailand.

The breakfast was below average, I wish that there was more Thai food, and that they changed what was on offer, it would help if the menu was changed daily. The waiters were super kind, friendly and helpful, always with a smile on their face, and trying to engage with us. The room was fairly comfortable though we did have issues with the water in the shower, not going down the drain. I did ask for someone to check it out and on the first day it worked but throughout the stay we still had a problem with the drainage. The pool is opposite the hotel, you need to cross the road to get there, please keep this in mind. We hired our own car, and parked on the property which was locked and we had peace of mind.

Right on Bophut Beach. Booked the King Deluxe Sea View and couldn’t have been happier. Incredible view, huge private terrace with day bed. Incredibly comfy bed / duvet. Great facilities. Worked remotely my entire stay and the wifi was incredible not only in the room but also by the beach! Only negative would be the restaurant closes around 930pm so you’re out of luck if you want food after that. And Koh Samui doesn’t have a lot of delivery options at night. But overall incredible stay and really close to Fisherman’s Village which was a blast (great massages, restaurants, markets, beach bars, water activities, etc etc etc). Would definitely come back here.

The environment is fine, but this room type is too bad. The service is okay. kidclub is too small. But the teacher is very responsible. Children like all kinds of classes. The price is also right. The spa is very comfortable. Meal is average. The biggest advantage is the location, the pedestrian street is just a few hundred meters away. It's super convenient to walk from the beach!

I really enjoyed my 2-week holiday at ibis Samui Bophut. It is located just beach-front. There are a lot of sun loungers by the swimming pools and you can easily access to the lovely sandy beach. Members of staff at the hotel, including receptionists, are always very friendly. I have to say that the size of the room is rather small, but I had everything I needed, such as a safe, a fridge, a small sofa and two bed-side tables. There is a kettle in the room and two bottles of water, tea and coffee are provided every day. There are a lot of local restaurants nearby within an easy walking distance. I even walked and jogged to Fisherman's Village a few times in the evening. So, my stay was very comfortable. A few taxis are always parked just in front of the hotel, waiting for people who need one. Also, there is a taxi service desk / tour desk inside the hotel. They charged 400THB to the airport, which was exactly the same amount that the airport taxi service charged me when I arrived. I was told that booking an airport-run taxi the day before was needed, though.
