위치, 시설, 서비스 다 좋았지만 특히 직원분들이 너무너무 친절해요~!! 마주칠때마다 어느분이건 미소 띈 얼굴로 인사해주셔서 항상 기분이 좋았어요~ 2일 숙박 후 아오프라오 리조트로 옮기는데 짐 맡겨놓고 점심먹고 들어왔는데 인수인계를 해주셨는지 다른 직원분께서 알아서 택시 픽업까지 다 알아서 해주시고 덕분에 너무 즐겁고 편하게 지내다 왔어요! 방갈로 위치도 메인 로비와 많이 멀지 않으면서도 숲속에 있는 분위기라서 너무 좋았고 방은 크지 않지만 샤워실이 물놀이 후 정리하기에 너무 편하게 넓찍하고 시설이 잘 되어 있어서 좋았어요~! 석양보고 싶어서 하루는 아오프라오를 잡았는데 아오 프라오 리조트로 옮기니까 거기 직원들은 어찌나 무뚝뚝한지 싸이깨우가 그리웠어요 ;ㅁ; 다음에 코사메가도 무조건 싸이깨우에 묵으려고요~~

I’ll start by saying that the hotel’s surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful. The beach is one of the best on the island - clean and tranquil. It made spending time in the hotel a delight. And overall, we had a really memorable time - which was enhanced by exploring the island on motorbikes every day (which you can rent from the hotel). However, there are a number of areas where there could be significant scope for improvement and which, if improved, could make this a much better class of hotel. These are primarily: 1. There was repeated miscommunication with the hotel staff, who generally-speaking (with the exception of one or two receptionists) have poor English. It would of course be unreasonable to expect everyone to speak perfect English; that’s not my criticism here. But what I will say is that a lack of common language between us and the hotel staff made asking questions, even simple ones, about our trip difficult and led to mistakes. 2. The food is really poor at the hotel restaurant, Breeze. We had expensive Thai food which was inedible in part and the only bad meal which we have had during our two week stay in Thailand. Until improved, I’d suggest going to other restaurants on the island - Banana Bar is a real highlight. 3. The rooms which we were first shown to were unacceptably far away from the main hotel and up a number of flights of steps. We asked to change and were moved with no questions asked, which was a great result for us. We thought the hotel dealt with that issue brilliantly. We wondered how often they had encountered this issue having shown people to those rooms. And to be honest, those rooms shouldn’t really be hired out at all unless it is for a serious discount and it’s made clear to guests when they book. 4. Parts of the hotel feel unloved and a bit neglected to be honest - I don’t want to be too harsh here as it may be that the hotelier hasn’t been able to put as much money back into the resort following COVID and it’s aftermath. In particular, the room showers could do with an update. And generally there is an outdated feel to the hotel which could do with being modernised - the furniture in the common parts, the shower by the pool, etc. For the reasons above and taking into account the price paid for our stay, I would give Ao Prao three stars, but my lasting feeling is that with a bit more money, love and attention to detail, it could become a four or five star in the future.

The hotel is really good and everything we expected. The rooms are spacious and very nice and are cleaned every day. The pool is small but really beautiful, the whole hotel was built in traditional Thai style and is very clean. The beach is just a few steps away and so are the best beach restaurant on Samed (at the Samed Villa hotel) and Silversand bar for late night cocktails. Breakfast was a bit poor. The downside was the beach itself- with high tide hardly any place to lay down, had to rent beach chairs and a rough sea with high waves. The better alternative was to go to Ao Prao for the day, the beach there was amazing, no waves at all and saw the best sunsets there. With the songtiew just 5 minutes away, with a scooter even faster. The resort is quiet and even though almost on the beach, still secluded so the nightrest is assured. Will definitely stay again, because it was more than worth the relative low price (compared to the Ao Prao resorts).

We booked 4 rooms and stayed for a week. Even the entry standard type of room can provide us all the necessary comfort. Water is hot, AC is working (although a bit too noisy and sometimes struggling fighting the heat), breakfast is good, beach is clean, massage is great and staffs are polite as always. Thank you again K Sawittree, our beloved manager. K Non from Ao Prao for stopping by to say hello, N Wan (from breakfast, dinner venue), K Chompoo (nice to meet you again, although this time not at Paradee), K Mint (receptionist/cashier) and K Raisam/K Dokmai from spa. You all are great. Thank you for the little souvenirs as checked outs. We love the beach bags and beach towels. Memorable once again ❤️

환경이 매우 좋고 휴가에 적합하며 갈 가치가 있습니다. 서비스는 괜찮고 연락처가 많지 않습니다. 메시지를 남겨두고 더블 침대, 생일 장식, 실제로 큰 침대, 장식은 없지만 과일 접시를 보냈습니다.

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.

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.

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.
