Ko Samui Resorts

The location was perfect, you are so close to all the shops, restaurant and bars yet still on the beach front and is as quiet or as loud as you want it to be. The (second) room we were in was lovely with a massive comfy bed. The high-touches this hotel has to offer are some of the best I have ever seen. I emailed the resort to request an upgrade before we went but they didn't respond which I thought was quite bad. The first room we were put in was horrible and right next to all the construction work, to say the least I was very dissapointed, but we were moved to a lovely room the next day over looking the pool. Pay the extra and get a nice room it will make a big difference! Drinks and food are fairly expensive at this resort compared to what else is around, also the bars close at 6pm and 8pm which is a bit silly but there is plenty else around.

The ambience made for a relaxing and very pleasant stay, and the staff were extreemly helpful.

-The staff are very friendly and always willing to help -food well priced for location and service. - well airconditioned rooms with plenty of bottled water -the bed are very hard -the breakfeast choice is very limited with breakfeast voucher. -public access to beach and bar passing though the middle of hotel and facilities made it very noisey especially late at night and early morning making it hard to sleep. -No clothes Iron available in rooms. - to many power blackouts rendering the rooms in darkness a backup generator would be good. - we would only recomend Ark Bar to younger travellers who want to party 24 hrs

This hotel matches its name perfectly -- it is a grand beach resort -- with everything you could expect and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were so well-trained and friendly, the food was great -- you have to try the beach barbecue! Take a pool room -- your own private pool in a walled garden -- pure luxury and a great way to relax.

It's a hotel that caters for everyone! I don't have children whereas my friends do and we all found something we liked to do and enjoyed ourselves in our own styles all at the one place! It is a resort and very few of the staff understood English. It took 3 days to get crushed ice in our margaritas!

Position, friendliness of staff, "Club" facilities & relaxed but quality approach.

I enjoyed the use of the Club Lounge. The private beach and overall hotel grounds are beautiful. Too many loud fireworks going off during the evening.

The room was lovely, the atmosphere calm and realxing, very nice indeed! It was quite far out from the action but great for peace, quiet and relaxation.

I like the place and it is very comfortable No

Beautiful villa, extremely friendly welcoming staff, delicious food, beautiful grounds. We did not see it at its best as we were unlucky to be there during terrible weather but the beach was a bit disappointing, somewhat rough sand and rocks washing in, but its har to know how much of this was due to the storms and also to the storms making it a bit rough and unusable.

The relaxed atmosphere in the hotel and the excellent location on the beach and clost to the Bophut village. The Thai foor we ate at the hotel wasn't the best we ate in Thailand. Not bad but not what you would expect at this kind of hotel.
