3-Star Hotels in Koh Samui

An Unforgettable Stay at Eldor’s Honeymoon Villa – Absolute Perfection! My recent stay at Eldor’s villa in Koh Samui was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Eldor’s professionalism and warmth made us feel instantly welcome. He arranged a seamless airport transfer, ensuring we arrived safely at the villa without any hassle. Upon arrival, Eldor greeted us with genuine hospitality, even helping with our luggage. The villa itself was **huge and fully equipped**—spacious, immaculate, and beautifully designed. We stayed in the **Honeymoon Villa** on the second floor, which offered breathtaking views and total privacy. Eldor took the time to thoroughly explain every facility in the villa, including the **fully functional kitchen** with a microwave, stovetop, and other cooking essentials—perfect for preparing meals at home. The attention to detail was impressive: complimentary toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, and toothbrushes), fresh towels, and even pool towels were provided. The highlight was undoubtedly the **private infinity pool**—large, clean, and overlooking the sea. Whether swimming at sunrise or under the stars, the pool was pure bliss, with no disturbances and complete seclusion. The villa’s air conditioning was powerful (a lifesaver in the tropical heat!), and the floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the living room allowed us to admire the pool and ocean views while lounging indoors. What amazed me most was the **flawless cleanliness**—not a single insect in sight! The entire property was meticulously maintained, making our stay incredibly comfortable. Eldor’s villa surpassed even high-end chain hotels in terms of quality, privacy, and value for money. Without a doubt, this was my **best villa experience ever**, and I’ll enthusiastically recommend it to friends.

We rested in The Humble Villas and remained in full delight! The villas are clean and very comfortable. Your own pool is a real pleasure, you can rest at any time. The atmosphere is calm and isolated, but there is everything you need next to. I would like to mark the bombshell from the villa with a stunning panorama, and for breakfast in the cafe you enjoy the sea and palm trees. A real paradise for the soul! The beach near the hotel is not quite for swimming, but it has not prevented us at all. During the tide you can quietly swim, and if you want to spoon, it is enough to sail a little further behind the stone line there opens a rich underwater world. However, the depth is increasing at once, so it is necessary to swim confidently. In the pedestrian accessibility 7-Eleven and shops where you can buy everything you need. Before the pier Nathan near there are massage salons, cafes, and evening market with delicious food. There are many cosy restaurants and cafes next to the embankment. Everything is in step-by-step access, so you can try new places every day. For convenience it is better to take a scooter for rent on Samui without it is heavy, and so it is easy to ride on beaches and explore the island. The staff was always friendly and willing to help. We felt very comfortable as at home. The result boldly recommend this place to those who want a combination of comfort, convenience and a real atmosphere of Samui. If you hesitate to choose don't think about it, choose this hotel! We will definitely come back here again!

We booked two Superior Garden Villas for a nine-night stay. Upon arrival, however, we were upgraded to a Deluxe Garden Villa and a Beachfront Villa, and later we were even given two Beachfront Villas. The bungalows are absolutely amazing. They are located directly on the beach, with the water literally just a few steps from the terrace. They are clean, spacious, and well equipped. The minibar items were stored in the refrigerator, so we simply moved everything onto a table and used the fridge for our own drinks and snacks, which was not a problem at all. The greatest strength of this resort is its staff. Everyone was friendly, smiling, and always willing to help. It is simply a place where you feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. The resort also has a beautiful, well-maintained swimming pool. Breakfast is served in what is probably the most beautiful setting I have ever experienced. The views are stunning, and starting the day there was a real pleasure. The breakfasts themselves, however, were somewhat below average in my opinion. For a resort of this category and price level, we are used to a much wider selection. In addition, much of the food remained the same every day, which becomes noticeable during a stay as long as ours. The restaurant is also beautifully designed and is essentially set up right on the beach. However, the prices are quite high, so we never actually ate there during our stay. We did try the Happy Hour at the beach bar once, but the Long Island Iced Tea seemed to contain virtually no alcohol and was mostly just very sour. That was probably our biggest disappointment. Fortunately, there is a 7-Eleven only about 300 meters from the resort, so buying a few bottles of Chang there solved the problem quite easily. Another downside, in my opinion, is the beach. While it is beautiful, the sea directly in front of the resort is not really suitable for swimming because of the rocks and stones in the water. The hotel reception even displays a warning about sea urchins. Fortunately, if you walk about 100 meters further along the beach, the conditions improve significantly and swimming becomes much more enjoyable. Despite these minor drawbacks, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort. The beachfront villas, exceptional staff, beautiful pool, and stunning location made it a truly memorable experience. We would definitely love to return in the future.

Excellent vacation at a great hotel. The sand on the beach is fine, like powder. The attentive hotel staff set up sun loungers, and there are enough for everyone. It's only 30 meters from the room to the beach. We didn't even bother with slippers. Each bungalow has its own foot wash tap. Breakfast is served by the sea. The menu varies (but it's not a buffet). There's a central store a 5-minute walk away, and a nightclub nearby.

Well. This place is just to a beach club: we could have guessed it won’t be quiet… but to add up the guest were generally very noisy and disrespectful. Just don’t book there if you want peaceful nights.. or bring solid earplugs. Also, the showers are really bad in the rooms ! Still useable but not a great experience.

First of all, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the hotel! I honestly didn't expect to have such a great vacation in Asia! 🥹 Let's start with the staff! I have to commend their perfect work! They do everything so quietly, you barely notice their presence! But they are definitely working! Always with pleasant smiles, greetings, and ready to help! 🥹 Regarding the rooms: we stayed as a family of 2 adults and 2 children (7 and 11 years old). We ran into some difficulties here. The family room didn't accommodate 4 people (although the room description said it would), so I had to contact Trip.com support! And you won't believe it! They reimbursed me for the difference the hotel charged for the extra bed. (In total, the hotel charged 1000 baht per day for accommodation + meals for the 7-year-old child). The room itself was very spacious, stylish, and comfortable! A huge balcony with a table and chairs! 🥹 The hotel also provides waffle bathrobes! I want to especially highlight the location! It's perfect! There's a huge night market nearby with European food! (Moms will understand), and Thai cafes are also available! The sea in this area in June is ideal. I specifically went to Chaweng to swim, but I liked it more here! There were enough sun loungers for everyone, even during peak times! The sand was cleaned! The beach was cleared of trash and the sand was raked! ❤️ Just a few more words about breakfast! I know how important this is for parents! The children could always find something to eat! A huge selection of fruits. Eggs in any form, muesli! They even made mashed potatoes (not from powder)! The only thing, as others have mentioned, is the excessive amount of chlorine in the pool! The smell was even noticeable outside. Perhaps the hotel should pay attention to this! Overall, I *highly* recommend it! I will definitely return! Oh! And the cleanliness! I was shocked! Perfectly clean!

Pros: The hotel’s biggest advantage is its excellent location. It’s within walking distance of Lamai’s restaurants, night market, and attractions such as Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks and the Red Temple. The beachfront is beautiful, with clean white sand, clear water, and amazing sea views. The hotel also provides beach towels and complimentary bottled water in the room. The waiters and housekeeping staff were friendly, helpful, and always did their best. Cons: The hotel is quite far from the main attractions of Koh Samui, although taxis are easy to find. Unfortunately, the property is very old and appears to have had very little maintenance over the years. The rooms have very few power outlets, and the bathroom had a persistent sewage smell coming from the drains. We also found cockroaches in the bathroom. While the room itself looked clean and tidy, this seems to be a plumbing and sewage issue rather than a housekeeping problem. Although this is a 3-star hotel, we’ve stayed in many other 3-star properties that were in much better condition. This hotel feels like it has been frozen in time. We also had some concerns about hygiene during breakfast, as cold items such as fruit, salads, and drinks were left without proper refrigeration, and there were many mosquitoes around the dining area. Overall, you get what you pay for, but even at this price, the hotel could benefit from much better maintenance. If your plan is to spend most of your time exploring the island and enjoying the beautiful beach and nearby restaurants, it’s an acceptable option for a short stay of one or two nights.

Pleasant Stay with Excellent Service in Chaweng I recently stayed at Lotus Friendly Hotel in Chaweng with my wife and baby. The hotel boasts cleanliness and spaciousness, with daily room cleaning ensuring a comfortable stay throughout. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing us with valuable information. One of the highlights of our stay was dining at the hotel's restaurant, which offered delicious Mediterranean-style cuisine. The restaurant staff were exceptional, making our dining experience truly memorable. They were also incredibly friendly and accommodating towards our baby, which made us feel even more welcome. The hotel's location was convenient, with a Seven Eleven and several restaurants nearby, making it easy to access essentials and dining options. Additionally, the beach was just a 2-minute walk away, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful coastline effortlessly. While the city center was a bit further, a 20-minute walk provided an opportunity to explore more of Chaweng. The only minor downside was the noise at night, which is perhaps typical of the vibrant atmosphere in Chaweng. However, this did not significantly detract from our overall experience, as the hotel's other amenities and exceptional service more than made up for it. Overall, I highly recommend Lotus Friendly Hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Chaweng. The combination of cleanliness, spaciousness, excellent service, and convenient location makes it a top choice for travelers. We look forward to returning in the future.

This hotel was an okay place to stay, the bed was comfy and the location is alright. The shower pressure isn't the best and there aren't any curtains. But for the price in koh samui it is good. Picture is from central samui mall.

Good morning! I'm staying at this hotel from February 2nd to February 8th. The location is simply superb! 👌 Breakfasts are standard, and there's a 7-Eleven nearby if you need coffee or sandwiches. However, the hotel itself is completely rundown!!! The bedding and towels are in terrible condition! If you appreciate comfort, then this is definitely not the place for you. All the plumbing is broken, and the water in the shower doesn't drain!
