Hotels in Bang Por, Koh Samui

I nearly changed my holiday because of the negative reviews that i read here, however i was so pleased i didn't and went with my gut instinct. I have just returned from the most wonderful relaxing holiday at the Mai Samui beach resort. The hotel has been built in a traditional Thai style, on a quiet peninsular of Samui. So if you are looking for a glossy high rise concrete soulless block with entertainment and plenty of bars surrounding you, then this is not the place for you. There are a few local restaurants and a coffee shop only a few minutes walk away. With lively Bophut, with the Fisherman's market and Nathon are only a short taxi ride away (or free bus from hotel every day). The hotel has a variety of rooms to stay in, a couple of restaurants and a great beach bar with an extensive cocktail menu. The staff are all amazing, friendly and helpful. The hotel is currently having a few renovations but so has everyone else. Hotels and bars across the world have all suffered being locked down for several years due to Covid 19, and have only just re-opened, so yes they all need to do a bit of catch up. The renovations did not impact us in any way, and did not spoil our holiday one bit. I chose not to do all inclusive and opted for breakfast only. There was plenty of choice every morning. The egg chef was always busy with everyone's individual orders. One very small negative is the lack gluten free options or milk alternatives, but we worked around it. The beach is not your usual tropical lounging sandy spot. This is a very shallow tidal bay with some rocks and corals. It is great for a low tide walk, but not swimming. To make up for this the hotel has a couple of large well thought out swimming pools. and there is a raised sandy area to the front of the beach with plenty of sunbeds and chairs to lounge on. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel if you prefer a quite resort but with easy access to livelier towns. If i have the chance i would definitely come back again. Thank you everyone at Mai Samui for a wonderful stay.

I spent 4 nights at The Sea Koh Samui. Staff are really friendly, professional and so polite. Room was big and clean. A bit old but it’s fine. I really enjoy my stay here. I’d definitely come back here again!

Stayed @ this lovely place from 24 to 28 Nov. Enjoy my sojourn and wished to extend my appreciation to the hotel staff for their warm hospitality, especially to Tiri who had endeavored to help me & my friend secure a last minute booking with a tour agency for a day tour to Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park. Even though she did not managed to secure a booking for us with the tour agency, we really appreciate her valiant effort. The room was nice, more or less similar to what you see in the posted pictures. The view from the balcony was excellent too, as you can see from my video. I love the part where they placed a resting couch at the balcony, which is apt for just lazing & enjoying the seaview across. & not forgetting the very inviting infinity pool with the marvelous view across the sea. Definitely a instagram-able spot. The housekeeping was prompt & the room was very well kept thru out my stay. The restaurant was good as well, I enjoyed the breakfast which was quality & quite a spread for me. Price was quite reasonable too, in my opinion. Alright asides from the niceties, there're a few things which I think is worth pointing out. 1) There aren't any elevator in the hotel, so the stairs are the only option. I would advise checking in early before evening, when the reception will be able to arrange for a staff to bring your luggage up to your room. Else, u're gonna have bring it up yourself. 2) The place is relatively remote & far from the other hotspots in Samui like Chaweng or Lamai. 1 way to Chaweng will prob take around 35 -45 mins depending on traffic. However, there are plenty of shops & outlets nearby for dinning, massage or to simply grab some groceries or necessities. You really gotta chk out the nearby Bang Por Beach, which is a quiet idyllic beach with an lovely view of the opposite island Ko Pha Ngan. Oh yeah, I fly my drone there too, & the view is awesome too. I would seriously recommend renting a motorbike or car to get around. Else, u can try exercising those limps by walking up & down the hill (The hotel is perched on top of a hill, thus the excellent vantage pt). Regardless, I think this hotel is a great place for couples & families looking a quiet idyllic spot, away from the hustle & bustle or the furor of commercial tourism. I would really consider coming back again in my future trip back to Samui...

Absolutely amazing hotel! Would 100%recommend staying here as I can name no negatives. The staff were so friendly and everything was very clean- with water always topped up in the fridge. The reception clerk spoke great English and was so joyful, he also organised a taxi for us - the hotel is close enough (20 minutes drive) to the main ferry port and the ferry port to Koh Tao and Koh Pha-ngan.The internet was good enough for me to work and it was very sound proof. The little bungalows give you a sense of independence. The pool is great! Again, very clean and well maintained. Everything was picture perfect and I’m a great location- 20 meters to the c-mart convenience shop and 30 meters to the pristine beach! Loads of cheap and delicious restaurants close by. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really liked the hotel itself. Green area, everything is clean, cool pool, it’s clear that they are trying to provide maximum service for guests. Red fish for breakfast, glass bottled water, welcome juice, and many other little things. We visited several beaches on Koh Samui - this beach is the best we have seen. Yes, there is low tide, you can swim until lunch, after that it’s a bit shallow. From 8 to 14 seems to me quite enough time to swim. The water is the clearest we have seen on Koh Samui. No algae, no stones, overall great. Only Koh Samui has sunsets on this side. The staff is very friendly. The only negative is the location. There are very few tourists in the hotel and nearby. There is practically nothing within walking distance. You need to ride 20 minutes by bike or taxi to the nearest town. Bike 300 baht per day

Moorea Samui is a fantastic new boutique bungalow-style resort in Bantai. Wow, what a great renovation of this property ! The owners have put a lot of effort into all the special , high-end details. The room was fantastic with top quality bedding and artistic furniture touches, and a great rain-shower. The Resort boasts an huge new pool with includes poolside service from the restaurant (Lou Lou's). Lou Lou's , by the way, has delicious food and service , try the burger and sushi ! Moorea Samui is really a nice getaway from all the basic little resorts in the area. This is a fantastic gem for the traveler seeking an upper market boutique retreat, privacy and great food. Attention to details at every turn. I'm impressed at this new retreat on Koh Samui. It's a nice 2 minute walk to the beach ... but with this atmosphere and friendly staff , I was happy to stay right at the Resort full time ! Definitely booking my family and friends for a group trip here later this year.

We stayed here for 4 nights. It is a beautiful location but in order to get back to any civilization it is about a 15 minute walk down a long road to the nearest 7/11. And to get a taxi to go anywhere is about 600 baht since there isn’t a lot of things to do around that area. The staff is so friendly! Lin, was always checking up on us everyday. Here at the hotel they have free snorkeling which is awesome and the water is clear enough to see fish! We loved doing that! Breakfast is great and after breakfast is done they switch to lunch and dinner menu which the food was also so good!
