Samui Diving Resort
3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (21)
"Samui Diving Resort is more than a hotel or diving center: Hakan & Nana received us like family in their home. The accomodation is very functional and fully equipped. We stayed in the 3 bedrooms villa and the kids enjoyed so much the swimming pool after a day at the beach, just walking distance. We didn't have a car and that was OK as you can reach Fisherman's Village in few minutes. As for diving, Hakan is an extremely experience dive master, but also very friendly and fun, making each dive...

Siam Shades House
3.0 star property
6.2 out of 10, (11)
"Please bear in mind that the background to our trip was that southern Thailand was in the middle of massive storms that were causing a lot of destruction. We arrived from a long flight and all we needed was a simple place to rest up for 2 nights before moving on. That the power was on, a/c and WiFi working was a minor miracle. The room was dry and perfectly clean. Facilities in the room were quite basic but I did not expect anything else. For example there was one small wardrobe, but I...

"Good value and location with direct access to the beach. The staff are very polite. Room quite old fasioned and bed mattress quite hard. Its very dark at night so best to use a torch to get back to the room. Overall for the price i paid i liked it and would go back again. "
White House Beach Resort
B House Samui
4.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (322)
"I liked the room except it seemed to only be cleaned once every stay. Towels where changes every 2 days and bed sheet were not changes for the 4 nights I stayed. The biggest problem was the cocktail bar music volume, I had no problem with music all night but the volume was stupid! It was like everyone was on drugs in the bar with the staff. Shame as this property was really nice and could be so much better if not run by drug dependent staff."
B House Samui
Samui Heritage Resort
3.5 star property
7.8 out of 10, Good, (169)
"This resort is in a quiet tranquil garden setting. A pleasant stay, however a microwave, clothes horse, knives and coffee mugs for self-catering would have been appreciated as there is no communal lounge or diningroom. The pool area lacked seating and could only accommodation a single group. Umbrellas were tatty and tired. The road leading to the beach is very busy and difficult to cross over. The staff were wonderfully friendly and kind. "
Samui Heritage Resort

"I arrived and the hotel was closed. I had booked 3 nights in a ‘guaranteed’ room but found myself distressed and alone. I took photos: the hotel was in darkness and completely deserted. I told Hotels .com over a month ago and they have taken no notice and done nothing. "
