Independent hotels in Koh Samui, Surat Thani Province

"Overall the Resort is very good, quite area, Staff and services are superb, the employees are always gentle and kind, they help in exceptional ways, the shuttle bus driver is a very nice and helpful person. Breakfast was ok but missing decaffeinated coffee and soy milk or others vegetable milk and not many choices for vegetarian people. The resort is quite far from Chewang area but that is totally fine because the area is very beautiful and the resort offers the free shuttle bus many times during the day. For sure a Resort in Koh Samui that I recommend. "

"Beautiful rooms!"

"The Briza Resort was amazing. From the location (quiet but only a short walk to some great restaurants) and a mere 10 minute walk to the centre of Chaweng - so suitably away from the crowds but on the doorstep if you the night life. Booked a deluxe private plunge pool - made our holiday. It was fantastic and much larger than what I thought it was going to be. Also a great open space to catch the rays - a private little oasis! Breakfast was ok - standard I would say. Would absolutely recommend The Briza Resort, and thank you again! Great staff "

"The property is amazingly set-up in an idyllic setting. The quality of the service and the friendly service makes the place and experience amazing."

"We had a wonderful time, it exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a garden villa and were happy with how private it was, especially as the surrounding villas weren’t occupied. We almost booked the ocean view villa but the garden villa has more privacy and actually we could still glimpse the ocean from sitting on our font deck. Food was good! A great buffet breakfast with A la carte options. There was a thai food restaurant across the road that we really liked to eat at as well. One thing to note is that the main pool is a beach club daily so has loud house music playing from noon until 7pm which can be heard throughout the entire hotel. There is a quieter pool that we could enjoy. Before the beach club music the hotel is very quiet and peaceful, we had the loveliest mornings and evenings relaxing by the ocean and swimming in the pool. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our 1 year old enjoyed playing with the toys in the kids club room as well. "

"Pool villa had comfortable room and spacious bathroom. Pool was decent sized and meticulously cleaned each day. Staff friendly and helpful. We walked from the hotel (taxis are easily available but tend to be off-meter), though there is one small part of road that floods easily - fine with sandals! "

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Melia Samui. The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous and the service was exceptional. We stayed in a Club Level Room and it was certainly worth the upgrade. The rooms were fantastic, great size and very comfortable beds and pillows. The rooms were on the ground floor so they had direct access to the wrap around pool that goes around the hotel. Great for an afternoon swim. We have to thank the staff at The Level as they really made our holiday special. They were all so lovely and welcoming, we didn't want to leave. Special shout outs go to Maya and her lovely team, Auong, Sky, Mamai, Dew, Keng, Queen, Seen and Lisa. They all looked after us at The Level. The breakfast at The Level was perfect, there was a lot of choice and was part ala carte. We tried the breakfast at the normal breakfast area which was also great but it felt more relaxing and special at The Level. The evening cocktails and canapes were also a bonus. We had great weather the whole time we were there so the sea was beautiful. The bay itself is beautiful although I thought it was a bit too crowded. Another special mention goes to Bauw who looked after us on the beach or around the pool. I would highly recommend this hotel. "

"We cannot thank all of the lovely staff at Silavadee Resort enough for such a wonderful experience! Their professionalism, genuine warmth and kindness, attentiveness, and attention to detail truly stood out. The resort is beautifully maintained and a perfect tropical escape. We enjoyed a stunning private pool villa with, large deck and balcony overlooking the ocean. Villas are cleaned to the highest standard with towels and linens freshened every day and rooms thoughtfully prepared each night for a comfortable sleep. The beautiful little treats left on your bed at night are a welcome surprise too. A lovely selection of luxe toiletries is provided and topped up every day. There are a wide variety of fun activities on offer at the private beach (we really enjoyed our morning yoga, tai-chi, and pilates classes) and a good range of kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkels available too. In addition to the private pools, there are two big infinity pools with amazing views and pool bars, which make for a great day soaking up the sunshine. There are three great restaurants with fantastic views in the resort. We were spoilt for choice with our meals... Everything we tasted was absolutely fresh, delicious, and well-presented. A full buffet and a la carte breakfast was included with our stay. If you wish to explore beyond the resort, staff ensure transport is a breeze. If you're looking for amazing massages and a little pampering, you cannot miss the in-house spa. We will definitely return!"

"Really great and lovely beach front resort/hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here. The beach is quiet with plenty of loungers. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and were always smiling. We stayed in the Grand Deluxe Bungalow rooms at the bottom of the resort by the beach, and these rooms were a great location next to the beach, pool, bar and breakfast. The hotel is on a hill but the staff were more than happy to collect you in a golf buggy to go up to reception to exit the hotel, so you don’t have to walk it. Would recommend and return to this resort in the future."
