Koh Samui Luxury Hotels

"All in all, hotel is good. But for this price I recommend you to go to Maldives. Sea is not suitable for swimming, quite dirty and a lot of rocks. Service is quite bad in all restaurants except 2 person: B and, unfortunately, don’t remember a girl’s name who was serving us after check-out in the bar. Also, we were going to next FS property in check out date and wanted a late check-out. How normally it works in real 5* property: you check out around 10 and go to any free villa on island till late check-out (they had free villas that day). And here we needed to wait 2 hours in the bar. Of course, I won’t choose this place again as it’s not you are expected when you know how it normally works in real good property."

"Our stay at Banyan Tree Samui was a relaxing experience. The tranquility of the resort, together with the beautiful ocean-view pool villa, made every moment feel like a private paradise. Waking up to the stunning sea view and enjoying the serenity of our villa were undoubtedly among the highlights of our stay. One of the most magical moments was witnessing the sunrise from our villa. The panoramic view of the sun rising over the ocean was simply breathtaking and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and picture-perfect experiences the resort has to offer. It is a sight that we will cherish. A special thank you to Khun Note from the Octopus Kids’ Club. Her friendliness, warmth, and easy-going personality immediately made our family feel at home. She has a wonderful way of connecting with both children and adults, and her genuine care and cheerful spirit truly warmed our hearts and made our children’s experience even more enjoyable. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to Khun Nook, who accompanied my wife and me on the morning resort jog and patiently taught me how to sail a boat. In addition to being an excellent instructor, he was wonderful company and a pleasure to chat with during the activities. His passion, friendliness, and positive energy added a personal touch that made our stay even more memorable. While the staff were generally friendly and courteous, we believe there are opportunities to further elevate the guest experience, particularly in terms of attentiveness and personalization. During breakfast at The Edge and in our interactions with our assigned butler, we felt that the level of engagement and anticipation of guests’ needs could be enhanced. Given Banyan Tree’s reputation for exceptional hospitality, we had hoped for a more personalized experience that would make guests feel truly special. We share this feedback with the utmost respect and in the spirit of continuous improvement. Overall, we left with positive memories and are grateful for the hospitality extended to us."

"The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The hotel view is stunning; our room overlooked an endless sea view, which was so relaxing. The butler was also very attentive and thoughtful. When they found out we had an upset stomach, they immediately arranged for ginger tea. We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip to Koh Samui! 👍"

"I stumbled upon the 'most beautiful Conrad' – truly, 'the Conrad with the most stunning sunsets.' First off, the hotel's airport transfer is super cool; they even greet you with a Conrad-branded coconut! After a winding drive up the mountain, we entered the Conrad's grounds. What greeted us was an incredibly beautiful panoramic view of the sea and sky, along with a magnificent elephant flower wall crafted from bougainvillea. Check-in was completely stress-free, with a Chinese-speaking butler ready to assist. While waiting, you can snap some photos of the breathtaking 270-degree ocean view. Rooms: All room types (except for two- and three-bedroom suites) come with a private pool, and their size and layout are largely similar. The price difference mainly depends on the room's elevation and location. Even the basic rooms offer unparalleled views of the azure sea and sky. I booked a Premium Sea View room for my stay. You can see the specific layout and amenities in the photos. Since it was our wedding anniversary during our visit, the hotel thoughtfully arranged a surprise setup, paying attention to every detail, which added to the romance. The king-size bed faces directly onto the infinity pool and the seamless sea-sky horizon. Waking up to such a beautiful view every morning was amazing! I absolutely loved the hotel's mattress – I wish I could buy it to take home! This hotel offers a private ocean for sunsets. Every evening at sunset, the golden light paints the infinity pool. In that moment, it's hard to tell where the sky ends and the sea begins; you feel completely enveloped by the sunset glow. Hotel Restaurants: The dining options are diverse, so you don't have to worry about not finding something you like – there's always something to suit your taste. Plus, breakfast offers unlimited coconuts! Activities: You can eat, drink, and play right at the hotel. Take a stroll down to the private beach, or book a longtail boat. We opted for a private boat charter, and the captain was incredibly attentive, haha! The entire sea area felt like ours. The beach quality at the hotel is average, with many hidden rocks in the water, so it's not ideal for swimming in the sea. Among the hotel's activities is a visit to their organic farm, where you can interact with some small animals. Other activities include yoga, making herbal compresses, and various water sports. They even gave us a small sea turtle souvenir at check-out."

"Not bad, my family was very satisfied. Facilities: The facilities are very complete. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: The environment is beautiful. Our family had a wonderful Chinese New Year here, and we'll definitely come back next time we have the chance."

"Honeymoon Perfection at Six Senses Samui. We recently booked a stay at Six Senses Samui for our honeymoon, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the service, amenities, and attention to detail were absolutely amazing. Every staff member provided exceptional hospitality, making us feel truly special. A special mention goes to the manager, Nirob, and his outstanding team, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable. The food was another highlight of our experience. Six Senses Samui’s commitment to sustainability is evident, with many ingredients sourced directly from their onsite garden and within Thailand. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The room decor is breathtaking, blending luxury with nature in a beautiful jungle fever style. It felt like a serene oasis, perfectly designed for relaxation and unwinding. We will most definitely be back and highly recommend Six Senses Samui to anyone visiting Koh Samui who wants to relax, recharge, and experience unparalleled hospitality. It truly lives up to its stellar reputation and star rating!"

"I spent a week at Cape Fahn, a private island resort in Thailand, and it was unforgettable. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the views were breathtaking. Dining at Long Dtai restaurant was a highlight, with exceptional Southern Thai cuisine and fresh seafood. The serene atmosphere and excellent service made my stay delightful. I can't wait to return for my next vacation."

"I had high expectations for this Ritz-Carlton hotel, but despite being a five-star hotel, I left feeling quite disappointed. One of the biggest inconveniences was that you have to rely on buggies to get around the resort. Walking is technically possible, but the distances are long and the routes are dull, so you're constantly waiting for transportation. The soundproofing in the room was surprisingly poor. I could clearly hear the guests upstairs talking, coughing, moving chairs, and walking around. This is simply unacceptable for a luxury hotel. The breakfast was another letdown. The selection was rather limited, and the bottled juices tasted diluted rather than freshly squeezed. There were no desserts available to order from the menu—only egg dishes. Even getting a cup of coffee required waiting 10–15 minutes. The gym was another major disappointment. For a hotel of this caliber, the fitness center is incredibly underwhelming. When I first saw it, I was genuinely shocked and frustrated. Considering how much guests pay to stay here, I expected a modern, well-equipped gym. Instead, it felt more like the fitness room of a three- or four-star hotel. This is simply unacceptable for a luxury resort and honestly quite outrageous. The biggest disappointment, however, was the beach. It looks nice for sunbathing, but swimming is almost impossible because the seabed is covered with sharp rocks and large stones. During our stay, both my wife and another guest cut their feet. I have a serious question for the Ritz-Carlton management: with the prices you charge your guests, can you really not invest in cleaning the beach? Bring in an excavator, remove the sharp rocks, and make the beach safe. How many more people need to get injured before something is done? You expect guests to spend money in your expensive restaurants, yet you can't provide a safe place to swim. That is simply disgraceful. Another downside is the location. There are no shops within walking distance, so even buying basic groceries requires taking a taxi. Overall, this stay was a major disappointment and nowhere near the standard I expect from the Ritz-Carlton brand. Rating: 2.5/5"

"Excellent hotel, great location and very quiet for evenings and overnight noise. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food and drink were a little expensive on site, but local shops and markets around. only 10/15 mins walk to Fishermans market. Over all a great stay! The beach sunbeds were always quiet and didn’t have to fight for sun loungers around the pool either as there are 3 pools and 1 is adult only. The rooms are a very good size plenty of space and very large balconies. The rooms were equipped with everything we could need. The only flaw would be the over head shower wasn’t cleaned of lime scale meaning the holes were blocked up and they weren’t letting out water well. The gardens were beautiful and the walk to the seafront breakfast was something I won’t forget. Very tranquil and peaceful. Another positive was no boats around in the sea and the sea is sectioned off with floaty rope to ensure it is safe and children are safe too. Plenty of on site activities for children and adults."

"A perfect trip, the hotel was fantastic! It's in the best location on Koh Samui, I got to watch the sunrise over the ocean every day, absolutely breathtaking. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, very new, with stylish decor, multiple swimming pools, and beautiful gardens. Breakfast was abundant and varied daily. I especially recommend the hotel's Sunday Brunch; it's delicious, with great drinks and a live band. If you stay here, you absolutely MUST try their Spa; you'll feel like a new person afterward. The hotel service was impeccable, truly exceptional, they even gave us a handmade woven bag that I took to the beach every day. A unique experience, we've already decided to come back next year!"
