To get to the hotel, you have to go through the cafe and through the back. You wouldn't know that there was a hotel entrance out back just by being in the cafe. The hotel was very clean and the owners were extremely friendly. Your key card works at the cafe entrance as well when they are closed (11pm to 11am). My wife and I plan on staying here for one more night before leaving Koh Samui. Fisherman's Village is a really nice area to stay in Koh Samui and this hotel was in a very central location.

I recently stayed at the Belle Vie Boutique Hotel on Koh Phangan, and it was a lovely experience. The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful but not too far from the party spots if you’re looking for some nightlife. I came to rest, relax, and recharge, and this hotel was exactly what I needed. The room I stayed in was spacious and beautifully designed, with a great outdoor patio area to enjoy. The bathroom was also large, with an excellent shower, and everything was incredibly clean. The hosts are amazing, going out of their way to help with anything you need, and they provided great advice on things to do and how to get around via WhatsApp. The pool area is gorgeous, perfect for soaking up the sun, enjoying a coffee, or reading a book. There are plenty of great places for food and drinks within walking distance, and the beach is just around the corner. I’d highly recommend staying here!

Everything about our stay at the Sala was exceptional. The staff were friendly and attentive. The facilities were spotless - it was honestly impressive how well coordinated and cohesive the team at the Sala were - we witnessed a member of staff identify a minor issue and within minutes it was resolved by maintenance. Our pool villa was perfect - the bed was comfortable, we had consistently good sleep throughout our stay. It was always a treat to come back to our room in the evenings to find a new nighttime tea before bed as part of the turndown service. We spent much of our time by the pools/beach - the loungers were very high quality, seating options were varied, pools were pristine. A huge shout out to the "beach boys" and bar staff who made our stay so great. Some of the best service we've had. The breakfast was EXCEPTIONAL. We cannot fault it - plentiful options, very high quality and service to match. We looked forward to it every day. Our experience at the Spa was very comfortable and worth every penny (we would highly recommend)! That said, guests should note that there is an independent spa operating on the beach right next to the resort which is very affordable - not to be missed if you want a cheap and cheerful massage while listening to the sound of the waves! The attention to detail and thoughtfulness around the guest experience - creating little moments throughout our stay to make it feel special - was such a treat. We don't often stay anywhere more than once, but we will certainly plan on returning to the Sala with no hesitation. Brilliant stay.

My room was beautiful and comfortable! I had a nice view, a jacuzzi, bathroom with shower and bath along with a nice window into the bedroom, and a super comfy bed. The pools, beach and dining options were great overall. The app is really good to use and buggies were always available to take you to and from places. I also loved the spa and did 2 treatments there. The staff are all so kind and helped with every request we had, including arranging taxis and suggesting where else to go.

The decoration of the hotel and the room is very nice, comfortable and creating a special distinguished, yet relaxing atmosphere. The hotel is right on the beach and you have a nice view from the pool to the beach and nearby Koh Pangan island. The restaurant is excellent and you will find many other options in walking distance, if needed. We preferred however to eat at the hotel's restaurant which is excellent. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel very special.

We came here to have a relaxing week during National Week in October. My husband and daughter had some of the best scuba diving experiences and they would definitely love to go back and do more dives (yet there are so many other places to go and see....). We stayed in the southeast for the first part of the trip, and found that to be a bit secluded - great resort, but a little too isolated and cut off for us overall. The second half we stayed in Sairee Beach area and it was amazing! So much going on and great restaurants and sunset views at your fingertips. We had wanted to rent scooters to explore the island more, but after seeing the condition of the roads (very steep and sharp turns), and so many people with "Thailand tattoos" from road rash, we decided against it, so we didn't get to see as much as we'd hoped. Maybe next time....

I have been to 4 Thai seaside resorts so I know a little about them. Koh Samui seems to lack a spirit of 'self' - the tours available go to natural sites which are average. And expensive. I didn't see any cultural tours. I saw hundreds of massage parlours, weed shops, and cafes. The whole place seems to be a fisherman's village that has been pumped up by advertising and wasn't really ready for it. I would really avoid this place in the high season. On the other hand if you just want to sit in a resort next to a beach and eat and drink, this could be for you. Long way to go though...

Easily accessible, used Grab, taxi service to get around, reliable. Walked along the beach but you can only go so far as you then have to walk through the water which is waist deep. You can walk along the road. Nice restaurant called The Cliff if you want to treat yourself. Did 3 trips, the first was the island tour which visits temples, look out and waterfall. Second tour was to the elephant Haven, this was amazing, very sad when you hear the stories of how the elephants ended up there after being rescued. They do a great job. Third trip was to Pig Island and snorkeling. Pig Island was 1 hour which I thought was a bit too long, maybe just half an hour should be allocated. Snorkelling was great and the lunch which was included was beautiful.

We went to visit a friend who recently moved there. It is not really a tourist town. We went to the Mangrove Forest and it was run down and unimpressive. The Saturday Market was underwhelming. The highlight was the view from "the hill". Surat Thani is what it is... a large city that gives you access to Koh Samui and a city for locals.

We used Getyourguide & did a half day tour of the island which was really good, our tour guide told us loads, this also helped us tick lots of sightseeing of our list in less than a day. We were staying a short walk away from fisherman's village which was perfect because it was quiet but not too far to get a grab to Chaweng beach that we could swim in. Perfect location if you don’t want to be too close to the party.

Haad Rin is a beautiful beach with plenty of bars and restaurants lining the shore and lots of shops, restaurants around the strip. During Full Moon week, the atmosphere gets wild—every venue competes with fire shows and loud music, creating a chaotic but energetic vibe. I imagine the off-season must be much more relaxing, though I haven’t experienced it myself. Personally, I found the Full Moon Party a bit disappointing, though that might be due to my expectations. I'm 40+, and I was hoping for a more organized event with better music and a diverse crowd—people of all ages from different parts of the world. Instead, it felt more like a chaotic gathering of mostly very young partygoers (early 20s), primarily from England, Germany, and Denmark, whose main focus seemed to be drinking and drugs. In November 2025, the original party was canceled due to the passing of the King’s mother, so I can’t speak to the usual experience.

I choose to stay in Bann Tai for its central location. There are much nicer locations on the island to stay, however if you are like me, and like to explore, then this location is best as its in the middle of the coast line, and its close to central heart road ways that take you to any part of the island quickly.
