The most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed in!!!
From the moment you first walk in the door you can tell it’s a 5 star hotel and the 5 star service from the staff goes above and beyond. Everyone is so friendly and they can’t do enough for you. The whole hotel is absolutely gorgeous, lovely pool area, lovely breakfast and it is right on the beach! Plenty of restaurants around to go to if you don’t want to dine in the hotel as well.

The best hotel in Koh Samui. This is our second time staying at this beautiful resort. All the staff were so helpful and welcoming, the food was delicious and all areas spotlessly clean. We loved the addition of the hammock and extra seating by the beach this year. We would highly recommend this hotel for people with food allergies or intolerances. The catering staff were super careful and accommodating.

This property seems to be 5* small resort, and while the staff is generally nice and polite, the true 5* professional behaviour is missing.
I stayed in pool Villa, which is hardly a villa, but rather a nice room with plunge pool.
The room had issue with the aircon, being very loud, and I did not have a good sleep on any of the 8 nights. Without the aircon on, the heat was difficult to manage. Staff offered me another villa with the same issue, or downgrade to signature room without pool (but with bathub on balcony) and slightly less noisy aircon. Aircon was very powerful and it would overcool the room despite being set to a reasonable 25 C. Not much difference if temp was set to 18 C. Apparently this is know issues and affects the whole resort. Aircon speed allowed only 2 settings, low and high, low being very noisy and for someone who sleeps light, I would recommend not to book this resort. Constant flow of water from the pool provided additional noise, which was not what I expected for the resort advertising itself as an oasis of peace. Both communal, and to even more extent, pool at villa, were too warm and there was little refreshment available.
The hotel beach had shallow water, was warmer than a pool, and generally not very nice.
Around the resort you could sense sewage or septic tank smell on most days.
Pool at villa has small amount of algae that were not cleaned when I requested the pool to be cleaned.

The hotel is right under a flight path and next to a club - so every hour a plane goes over and shakes the windows while the music from the club next door doesnt let you sleep. The beach was nonexistent - so small that they couldnt even put any loungers out. We wanted to check out early but the hotel staff refused to refund any payment as we had booked through hotels.com. Shockingly misleading photos and the high ratings for the hotel are obviously fake.

Nice hotel
Pool access rooms are nice but the loungers are hogged and bagged constantly despite a note asking for consideration. Plunge pool rooms were nice but right next to each other so can hear the noise next door, novely value but didnt really ise.vits a nice spot but the sea isnt the cleanest which is a shame as its on the beachfront

Everything was excellent! The view from our room overlooking the pool and sea was amazing. The pool is much bigger in person than in the photos, and the room itself was very nice and tidy. Even though the property is on a road with hotels, bars, and restaurants nearby, you can’t hear a thing once inside the room. Some people mention the planes flying overhead, but it’s minimal (about once every 30 minutes) and honestly quite cool to see. Would definitely recommend!
The only minor issue (which was rectified) was that the restaurant waiter didn’t know they could facilitate halal meat if told in advance.
