Relaxing stay with great service
This was an amazing relaxing place to stay for a few nights! The rooms were gorgeous and the beach very pretty and relaxing. The breakfast was amazing with many fruit options. It is a little far from the main road and other restaurants but only 20 minute walk to other restaurants and they offer free bikes to use.

Wonderful stay!
This villa was bigger than our apartment!! The property so is peaceful and beautiful with a wonderful pool and great relaxing beach location. Close enough to things via motorbike yet far enough for quiet relaxation. Very helpful and kind staff. The room was comfortable and clean. They provide you with everything and anything you would need

Beautiful hotel
Lovely quiet and peaceful hotel away from all the noise of Koh Samui. Rooms are massive (bigger than our apartment back home!) and gardens of the hotel are tranquil and very well maintained. Staff were so accommodating and friendly, told us the best places to go and helped us with whatever we needed. Breakfast was delicious every morning, and we also had lunch by the pool a few times and dinner on the beach which were both delicious and very cheap. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation and we’d 100% stay here again if we’re ever in Koh Samui.

Old and tired. Food terrible
The entire experience is very average. 3 star not much more. Lived 22 years in Thailand so know what a hotel should provide. Check in experience is poor, food terrible, and rooms old and tired. The bed is harder that concrete, seriously, it is not pleasant to sleep on. That said the rooms are large and clean. There are lots of smiles but it doesn't make up for an average stay. Most of my group decided to decamp to next door where the food is much better. Brenton

Comfortable and quiet stay
Stayed here for a relaxing Birthday break and made a good choice. Comfortable and spacious room, big clean pool, clean beach area and nice beach bar. Friendly staff and helpful reception. Free wifi was also reliable. Only downsides were that their own taxi prices are higher than on the street as are their motorbikes for rent, but they do offer free bicycles for local touring

Nice place, almost perfect!
Large comfortable villa with a kitchen and bathroom for a little money, very nice place, very fast WiFi - 25 Mbit/s, friendly staff, well-kept area, good breakfast, free bikes. The restaurant is quite expensive, but it's convenient that they bring a food in a room. Overall a great place for couples and families.

Favourite samui resort so far
Had an amazing time amazing staff only downside is the beds are very hard but from traveling round Asia I am noticing this is quite normal. Location is ok not on a main road but not far from shops. The pool and beach area are simply gorgeous.

Viva Vacation
If you are looking for a quiet tropical beach paradise then this is your place. The bungalow suites are really big and great sized bathrooms. When we arrived the road looked off the beaten track and I did not expect great things but was wowed when I entered the hotel and lay in the hammock on a beautiful palm beach. The staff were absolutely gorgeous to us and I will return for sure. Especially good if you are flying to koh Samui via Asia Air and arriving in via Lipa Noi Pier from Surat Thani.

A wonderful hotel with friendly staff, we very enjoyed our stay. There is not much outside the hotel in walking distance, the next road with some shops is around 20 minutes to walk, so we stayed inside the hotel most of the time for lunch and dinner.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem Resort sehr genossen. Der Pool und die direkte Strandlage waren sehr schön und wir waren auch mit unseren Abendessen in der Anlage zufrieden. Wir waren in einer Garden View Villa direkt neben der Rezeption untergebracht und fanden diese wie auf den hoteleigenen Fotos vor. Unangenehm war nur zwischendurch, dass am Waschbecken im Badezimmer immer wieder Ameisen entlangliefen und einmal war das Wasser aus der Leitung braun, warum sich die Angestellten jedoch direkt gekümmert haben. Das Wasser musste nur durch alle verfügbaren Hähne über mehrere Minuten durchlaufen und wurde dann wieder klar. In den Anlagen dieser Umgebung laufen Hunde, auch Streuner, welche teils anhänglich sind, aber harmlos, herum, daher hatten wir oft einen Begleiter bei unseren Strandspaziergängen. Was uns gut gefallen hat, war, dass wir uns kostenlos Fahrräder ausleihen konnten, um beispielsweise die Straße runter zu Straßenessensständen, Massagen außerhalb oder sogar bis zum nächsten Pier fahren zu können und dass man sich ohne Gebühr Bücher und DVDs ausleihen konnte. Zudem war das Personal stets freundlich und hilfsbereit

Billig og bra
Fin resort. Kort vei til basseng, og kort vei til stranden. Litt rotete strand, men personalet gjorde god jobb for å holde den ren. Store villaer, noen med kjøkken. Litt hard seng for min del. Fin plass, til fin pris.

Great resort, but restaurant needs improvement
No doubt, this is a very cozy and nice resort. Great service, nice rooms, good beach where you also can dine. Very nice in all regards. But the restaurant... I had expected nice thai flavors but the food was bland. I wasn't at all happy with the red curries I had. Also not all items on the menu were available. In all honesty, my wife was happy with her dishes so there is some variation in the quality.

Mooi kleinschalig resort direct aan het strand.
Echt een superverblijf gehad. Grote villa in een mooie tuin. Enorme badkamer met bad en douche. Airco alleen in de slaapkamer, niet in de rest van het huis. Mooi zwembad bijna op het witte zandstrand. Leuke beachbar met ligkussen en leuk personeel. Een scooter huur je direct bij het hotel. Het personeel is erg aardig, het lijkt een beetje een familiehotel. Aanraderom hier te verblijven als je rust zoekt. Er zit niet zoveel in de buurt van het hotel dus een scooter is wel een must.

拥有独立海边泳池，漂亮花园的酒店
整个酒店只有十二栋Villa，住在里面不会局促，也很少碰到其他入住的客人。有一个很漂亮的泳池，和海边日光椅。房间很大，分了很多功能房，连客厅都有一个卫生间，如果客厅装了空调会更加好！房间的空调位置装的不好，对着床吹，不太舒服。酒店的早餐是点单制，西式部分做的不太好吃。

Ruime bungalow mooi gelegen aan een wit zandstrand
Wij hadden een leuke aanbiedingsprijs en hebben erg genoten van de mooie bungalow. Het is zeer kleinschalig en ligt erg afgelegen maar ideaal om lekker in je hangmat te genieten van de prachtige zee en het mooie witte strand. Ook het heerlijke zwembad nodigt uit een duik te nemen. De service was prima!

Wenn man Ruhe und Erholung sucht - ein Paradies!
Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und sehr freundlich. Wasser ist täglich kostenlos in der Minibar, die restlichen Getränke werden täglich befüllt und sind auch wirklich kalt. Der Bungalow ist riesig (über 70m2), wird täglich gereinigt, Bettwäsche wird alle 3 Tage gewechselt. Das Restaurant hat eine sehr gute Auswahl, sogar Burger und italienisches Essen und die Speisen sind mit viel Liebe zum Detail dekoriert. Lange Strandspaziergänge ohne jemanden zu treffen, sind immer möglich, da nur sehr wenige Resorts in der Bucht sind. Im Hotel direkt kann man Mopeds mieten, Fahrräder sind kostenlos. Es gibt keine Animation oder Musik, absolute Ruhe den ganzen Tag. Das Resort liegt direkt am Strand, es sind immer genug Liegen vorhanden. Auch der Transfer zum Flughafen kann direkt über den Besitzer erfolgen, ist sehr günstig und bequem. Wenn wirklich irgendeine Raklamation ist (Fensterflügel war locker) - wird alles umgehend behoben.

とても静かなプラーベートリゾート的な空間
サムイ島には静かに過ごすために来ましたがここのホテルは最適でした。 チェックインで、ウェルカムドリンクと冷たいおしぼりを頂き、ドリンクは敷地内で採れた青いハーブティーでした。シロップを入れると緑に変わり南国リゾート的な雰囲気でもてなされました。部屋は別々に独立されており、一軒の家(コテージ)でした。 部屋に入ると大きいリビングがありウェルカムフルーツがありました。 ベッドルームはキングサイズのベッドがあり花で装飾されておりました。 バスルームはとても広く洗面所・トイレ・シャワー・クローゼット（バスローブ、プール用のバスタオル、セキュリティーボックス）、そしてバスタブがありました。お湯は蛇口をひねり、5分くらい待てば使えます。 キッチンは簡単ですがコンロ・フライパン・食器・ポットなどがあり自炊するのにも十分な器具が揃っておりました。 また、wifiは一軒の家ごとにルーターがあるので安心して安定した回線を使うことができました。(速度はyoutubeが見れるほど十分でした) スタッフはとても優しくフレンドリーで、丁重に全て対応して頂いたので何一つ不満はなかったです。 朝食は300バーツでした。 静かな場所なので近くに店がほとんどないので、ホテル敷地内だけで過ごしたい方にお勧めします。 買い出しなど行く場合はレンタルバイクがあると便利です。

Ruhiges gepflegtes Resort
- wunderschön am Meer gelegen, aber etwas abseits (ca 800 m 7/11; Nathon ca. 4 km, Auto-/Rollerverleih (verhältnismäßig teuer ) und gratis Fahrradverleih) - Familiengeführtes Hotel, Angestellten sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit - Zimmer wurden täglich gereinigt - Schöner gepflegter Pool - Restaurant schön im Garten gelegen -eigener, täglich gepflegter Strandabschnitt - Wasser i.o, alllerdings während unseres Aufenthaltes etwas trüb (lag es daran das wir kurz vor Regenzeit (im September) dort waren?) - Essen im Hotel gut, allerdings geteilte Meinung (unseres Erachtens im Wesentlichen da es verhätnismäßig teuer war im Vergleich zu lokalen Restaurants, das Nachbarresort hat ein schönes Restaurant am Strand etwa vergleichbar teuer und ähnliche Qualität; auch Fußläufig einfache Essenslokalitäten erreichbar) Insgesamt ein schöner Urlaub, können das viva weiterempfehlen, wenn man eine ruhige dafür etwas abgelegene Lage sucht
