Lovely hotel in a good location. The hotel and gardens were well looked after and kept clean. The staff were a joy, so helpful, friendly and willing to go that extra mile to make your stay the best.
Excellent location for all of the local restaurants and bars, but quiet enough if you wanted peace. Pool was perfect and a very short walk over a sandy beach to the sea.
All staff were lovely. On site restaurant was also great for lunch, evening meal or just drinks.
The breakfast was excellent! Catered for western and Asian. The staff were super friendly. We had the private pool villa and it was always spotless and maintained extremely well. The hotel is like an Ibiza euro chill styled place with a walk to the beach from the pool - so if that is what you’re after go no further.

Room and pool area fantastic. The exterior building is definitely in need of some work. Painting etc. overall lovely stay. Would recommend
First time in Koh Samui and would definitely stay here again the staff and everybody in this establishment are beautiful, very approachable and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Breakfast was perfect in every way, very much to our liking.
Great little resort, perfect for just walking into the centre of Chaweng. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of food and drinks. We only ate the Thai food at lunch and dinner which was amazing. Would go back again.

Hotel is situated right on the beach, which is lovely. Great sized pool area, breakfast was good.
Staff were fine, not overly friendly but not bad.
Even though it’s in a busy area you are just at the end so you get no noise from the bars.
Amazing beautiful resort, we’re lucky enough to have been staying in the suite with private pool and direct beach access. Every one was so warm and helpful. Definitely 10/10
Very nice hotel with pool area and beach. My only real negative would be that the walls to the rooms are thin so you can hear next doors tv when they have it on.
Excellent hotel, lovely rooms, great pools. breakfast facing the beach is a lovely way to start the day. Staff are friendly and efficient. I have been coming to Samui for over 20 years, its a shame to see that a lot of beach hotels didn't survive Covid and lack of tourist, but this hotel which opened it doors just before is a real bacon of hope for the tourist industry in this wonderful country
Our favourite hotel and location during our recent trip to south Thailand.
Great facilities in the room (toiletries /beach towels etc) and very quiet.
Pool and beach location was stunning, free use of paddle board and kayak. Always a bed free and never overcrowded.
Breakfast was lovely, we particularly liked the range of fruit available and the egg station.
We used bar for lunch and cocktails during the day which were also great quality.
The hotel also did a free trip to the local hill top temple, this was a lovely touch.
Overall a very relaxing hotel in a beautiful location
It is far enough away from the center of Chaweng to offer some peace, but close enough to walk into town easily. Rooms are very very small, but clean. Breakfast was good, pool area is nice. However, if you like to swim in the ocean, this beach is not the place for you. It is super shallow and rocky.

Unfortunately this hotel didn’t live up to expectations after reading previous reviews. Check in wasn’t great as only 1 person on reception and lots of people collecting keys at 2pm. No assistance with luggage to room. Room was exceptionally small. On the plus side the pool and restaurant area was very well looked after with helpful staff. Access directly onto beach with hotel sunbeds available.
Cute boutique hotel with a couple of pools and on beautiful Chaweng beach. Convenient location.
My sea view suite was on first floor so it’s really pool view with slight sea view. Room was large. The pool gets noisy with families and children.
Checkin was total chaos taking over 40 min as there was one receptionist and a large family ahead.
Food was decent.
Also the hotel guests all put down towels on the beach chaises very early like 8am .
The hotel is convenient. Also a nice sunrise

Unpleasantly Surprised
Check in was slow, plus we were interrupted halfway through while three of them dealt with another customer who just walked through the door. Very odd.
The rooms were quite pokey, with quite a strange configuration. No draft beer or beers offered during happy hour, only cocktails. Place is very quiet in the evening - the pool bar is none existent.
This hotel is about a 10/15 minute walk to the action, very quiet and quite run down surroundings.
For the money they’re charging guests it should be a lot better than it is. I believe they work on a charge as much as you can policy because I doubt they get any repeat business.
