Koh Samui, Thailand Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The staff makes us feel as we were at home, very friendly everyone, clean and pretty bungalows, you can do a lot of things in there, we had so much fun in a the pool, ping pong table and bar.

Great overall experience, somewhat secluded area where hotel is, I stayed for a week, I'll be staying there again next year for sure. It's nice how it's kinda in the area on the Island where it's off on it's own, away from crowds and such.

Nice quite little place with very polite service.

Surprisely, I have just had a wonderful night at Samui Island Beach Resort and Hotel in the Superior Bungalow-Room . The price is reasonable, not too cheap but also not that expensive. I could tell that this is one of the best hotel I have ever stay even though the beach is quite narrow. The way they treated me and my wife was so tight-knit that I felt like I was living with a family who have truely known what I aspire. Moreover, the location is pretty good which is not that far from the city, ten-minute walk. I would recommend you guys to rent the motorbike which is not more that 10 USD a day approximately. Seafood out there was really fresh under the clear blue sky that made me feel so soothing, charming. If you have a laptop, you are able to get on the internet at the lobby area for free of charge, otherwise, if you would like to surf on the internet in your room, you will need to pay for it.

we nearly had the place to ourselves for a few days we were wondering did a mass murder take place! got a few more guests as the days went on. If staying get a poolside room well worth it. The staff were friendly and gave good advice.The breakfast was just ok but saying that you had everything from bacon eggs etc to fried rice.The other restaurant food was good but the hamburgers are not great the meat is way over processed. all in all we would really like to go back, great place to stay.Been to samui a few times and this place is right up there!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing hotel! 5 minute walk to full moon beach and shops. We stayed in a poolside villa which was very reasonably priced considering how big and amazing our room was. The staff were so friendly and helped with all of our needs. Free WiFi at reception/restaurant/pool. The food at the hotel was excellent quality and always fresh. There are 2 pools and 2 bars (which make amazing cocktails), and also has its own private beach with volleyball net. The hotel also has an amazing massage/spa which is a little more expensive than some of the cheaper massage places in Thailand, but definitely worth it. Really it is suitable for everyone. We will definitely be staying their again next time we are in koh phangan.

Perfect location, beautiful resort and private pool and right on the beach and walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Very friendly staff I would stay there again. They even made up our bed with a nice happy honeymoon display and put us in a top level room.

Everything about this hotel was just absolutely lovely. The villas were very private, extremely clean, and the staff very friendly. We arrived late as we had a night time flight, and they waited up for us to show us to the room, and were very welcoming. When we arrived we were upgraded to a two bedroom villa even though we booked a one bed. The villas were very spacious, really nicely decorated and just had an overall 5* feel. We stayed there for two weeks and felt very safe, there is always someone on reception to help and they're taxi service is very quick and a fair price. The hotel is slightly secluded, however the Fishermans village is only a walk away(although due to the wild dogs it is difficult to walk this at night) and a 5 minute taxi ride away which the hotel only charge 100 baht for. The busy area of Chaweng is a 15 minute taxi ride away and the hotel are very helpful if all of their taxis are in use they will order a taxi from close by. Big Buddah and Bangrak pier are also very close to the hotel so it is easy to get to quickly. The private beach area by the hotel was lovely- we were pleasantly surprised as there had been some negative reviews about the beach but we found it nice and quiet and the sand very nice! Very nice place to go for couples or families. We had an absolutely amazing time, and stayed at other hotels in Koh Panghan and Koh Tao but nowhere matched up to Punpreeda.

We loved it! Very good hotel for families with small children. Kind of far of everything but when you just need rest and sleep is perfect.

This resort is one if the best I have experienced. The staff are so friendly and go out if their way to make sure you have everything you need. We were situated a bit of a walk up the hill from the main reception they walked all the flights of stairs with our suitcases and with food we ordered amazing service. We had a great view of the beach in the horizon and the pool. Room was very comfortable bed amazing ! The two restaurants were just fantastic. The beach is just down a flight of stairs from the hotel and u can sit in the pool or on the sun beds and stare out into the ocean. Very private beach and staff provide kayaks and u can hire jet skis up from the hotel. Hire a scooter to get around the island u won't regret it. The hotel is a hike to the main shops . Hotel has a amazing spa as well to get beauty treatments and massages which are affordable. You can get cheaper ones down the road but ambiance not the same.
