Really lovely staff, the rooms are brilliant with the best bed and view. We had breakfast here every morning which is very satisfactory. Come here for the rooms not the beach however, it is not the best and you can not swim due to sea urchins on the sea floor. My favourite part is the gorgeous jungle and garden.

The Samed Villa Resort must not be mistaken with the Samet Ville Resort. The latter is not the slightest in the same class as the Villa Resort. The renovated double bungalows are of the highest standards. Especially the bathrooms are of Swiss quality. The staff is very friendly, understands and speaks mostly English and is quick to serve any requests. The breakfast buffet has a lot of western dishes. The restaurant in general is delicious and not pricey at all. There are great options for lunch and dinner also nearby. There is a spa on the premises but also outdoor massage places under the trees on the sea side.

Stayed at Avatara Resort Hotel from 8 to 10 December 2021. We booked a Triple Room, which was very spacious, clean and comfortable beds. Layout of the bathroom was awesome with full view of the jungle. Location is not bad just a walking distance to the Sai Kaew beach which was lively and vibrant at night, with many restaurants nearby. Unfortunately this multistory building has no lift or escalators and a long walk from the lobby and beach. Our room was on the 5th floor and climbing up those many stairs is a big problem especially for those with disabilities or older age. Path and corridors along the building are poorly lit. Breakfast by the beach is very popular with guests but service is poor. On our second day, my son found out that the fresh cold milk he had with cornflakes has gone bad. Brought to the attention of the staff who was quite reluctant and no apologies, Restaurant staff should have pay more attention to the quality of food served. Poor and unfriendly staff; no smile, no greetings and treated guests as if we are a liability to them. The staff was busy playing with their mobile phones and chatting with their colleagues rather than paying attention to the hotel guests. We need to approach them every time we needed to order and foods service are poor. Serviette and tissue paper are not provided with the food, have to asked for them.

First, I chose Koh Samet because I asked a local Thailand friend which island has not been overdeveloped since my early days coming to Thailand in the 1990s. His response was ”head to Koh Samet”. I looked for a value hotel on one of the more southern, less developed beaches which led me to Wong Duean Bay and the Vongdeuan Resort. The pool was a big draw. With the low tide being pretty extreme, it is really nice to have the salt water pool to cool off in and swim laps. The food seemed pretty authentic to me. With mainly Thai visitors coming in on the weekends it figures the food would be good at the Vongdeuan Resort. :) The staff were wonderful and always so fun to share a story or two with. The beach area all along the bay was extremely clean with no plastic on the beach or garbage in the water. This is a big plus when going to the shore in SE Asian countries. There are several beach restaurants but none of them had loud music, at least during the weekdays when I was there. It is definitely a sleepy and peaceful place to enjoy the water at high tide as well as the white sand beach for walks.

메인 해변과 괜찮은 해변 바 지역의 훌륭한 위치(라이브 밴드가 너무 시끄럽습니다). 방은 괜찮은 가격이지만 약간 이상했습니다. 아래층 욕실, 위층 침실. 그러나 직원들은 전혀 친절하지 않으며 리조트 주변의 쓰레기통과 재떨이는 비워지지 않으며 빵집의 빵은 신선하지 않으며 하녀들은 낮에는 복도를 엉망으로 만듭니다. 그러나 공정하게 말하면 Samed 전체의 서비스는 꽤 나쁩니다. 그리고 나는 35년 동안 거기에 가고 있습니다! 그러나 이것은 우리가 두 번째로 귀찮게하지 않을 곳입니다.

I’m not going to lie, we booked this island stay from Koh Chang as we were travelling islands, and I thought I’d booked Le Vimarn cottages. A place I’d wanted to stay for years. Instead I booked here. Same name, similar name! Not the same! I made a mistake with the booking, I have no regrets! I also have no doubt this resort will thrive, the amount of building work that was going on was skilful and impressive. Not ideal for us but the beach restaurants kept us happy all day! I don’t regret my location being wrong at all! It’s beautiful and stunning and I would come back in a heartbeat! I struggled to get a coffee before 9 am though because my facilities didn’t work in my room and I was up at 6 and looking for a functioning reception or breakfast bar really irked me! But apart from that, I’d say, work on your pool but I’d love to see your finished work in 6 months because this place will be Amazing! But please don’t sell your rooms without letting us know it’s under construction

The hotel has mini villa type rooms, each with a good-sized balcony to enjoy the beautiful foliage planted all around. The rooms are large, airy, sp****, and super clean. Bathroom size is good too, and all amenities are provided. The bed is one of the softest ones I've ever slept on. Absolutely loved it! Check-in and check-out was smooth, the staff is warm. There's a shortcut which takes you to the main Sai Kaew Beach in a minute's walk. It is also easily walkable (15 mins) from the main ferry pier (Nuan Thip). The hotel did not have a restaurant yet (which we knew before booking), but I did see some construction going on, so they could be adding one in the future, But there's plenty of restaurants on the beach, so no worries there. We had an immensely satisfactory and comfortable stay. Would recommend to all travelers.

아내와 나는 ”Blue Moon”에서 2 박을 보냈습니다. 방은 간단하지만 매우 깨끗하고 편안했습니다. WiFi는 훌륭했습니다. 관리자는 매우 환영하고 도움이되었습니다. 그는 우리에게 섬 전체를 발견하기에 완벽한 새로운 오토바이를 빌려 주었다. / 국립 공원. 위치는 우리의 요구에 완벽했으며 모든 것에 가깝습니다 (특히 주요 부두, 국립 공원 입구, 레스토랑 ...). 나는 Koh Samet의 ”Blue Moon”을 확실히 추천합니다.
