The staff were very attentive. My wife and I had our 30th wedding anniversary there. They set up a cabana, which was very well priced and had dinner at sunset. An awesome experience. And the browny points I got from the wife didn't hurt.
Breakfast was great, 30 seconds to the beach and pool. Price for food and drinks reasonably priced, and the Happy Hour was awesome.
When you walk out of the hotel, you can walk left or right, and there are bars and restaurants aplenty.
I would definitely come back again.

I found this to be a very nice hotel. The location is excellent, both in the town and on the beach. Even with its close proximity to one of the main roads in the town, it is nice and quiet. It is slightly tired but, well maintained and clean. We had a late flight home but, had to check out at noon. We enquired about a late check out however, instead of a late check out, we were allowed to store our luggage and when we returned from the beach, we were allowed to use a vacant room to shower. It was so much nicer than using the fitness room shower which is what has happened in the past. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely stay at Pavilion Samui

Had a lovely time at Pavilion Samui Villas, staff were super attentive, hotel facilities really good and location close to the night market and plenty of restaurants nearby was great. Having direct access to the beach was also brilliant - it was very clean and plenty of sun loungers available.

Our room was comfortable, good WiFi access and of course AirCon which is an essential. Areas of the hotel are perhaps a bit tired in places and could do with some TLC but I always think you have to allow a bit of flexibility on this and it certainly wasn't to the extent whereby it affected our enjoyment of our stay.

We had a pretty horrible stay at this hotel. Firstly, we had selected the option to ‘Pay at Property’ when booking thru the hotels.com app, however was charged the full amount about 60 days prior to our trip without any notice. Second, we were denied check in because the card I brought on our trip was not the same card they charged for the stay. Apparently that is their policy and there was a lot of argument and the need to speak with a manager to be allowed into our room after 40 minutes of debate. Thirdly, there were so many prohibitive rules throughout the property: can’t take your tea with you after breakfast, ice with your coffee at breakfast cost extra, only 1 beach towel per guest per day, etc. As a result, our stay was NOT relaxing. We just worried about what we rule or policy we might break! Won’t go again.

We had a wonderful week in the 2 Bedroom Pool residence, there are 5 separate villas, adjacent to the hotel that share the hotel's facilities. We were in Villa 905, furthest from the beach but surprisingly quiet and private - you couldn't hear any noise from the road and we were further away from the noisy music of the beach club next door. The villa was spacious, air conditioned and clean with modern fittings, we loved the private pool, roof deck and space to relax. The beach in front of the hotel was clean and calm with warm, clear water and there are lounges on the beach for hotel guests, perfect for beachside cocktails! The staff were all lovely and friendly especially at the generous breakfast buffet. The hotel is well located for the Lamai Night Markets which were a great option for dinner, there are also lots of shops and restaurants and bars within walking distance.

Lovely place

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The staff were beyond wonderful and kind, and the breakfast every morning was excellent. We spent a lot of time at the pools and the beach chairs available on the beach were lovely. For me, the bed was extremely uncomfortable. My husband liked the firmness but to me it felt like sleeping on a rock. My biggest complaint is that the hotel allows smoking on the balconies and public areas (including the pools), both cigarettes and marijuana. They say don't smoke in the rooms, but the smoke gets in anyway. We couldn't really enjoy our balcony because others were constantly smoking.

Island paradise. A little far from the busy island center but the smaller, food centric night market is right next door. Attention to detail in the facilities is incredible. Happy hour is a busy time to meet and mingle with fellow travelers, but once it’s over the resort is silent and peaceful at night.

Somehow the resort managed to keep the jet skis out of direct line of sight on the beautiful beach so even as beach traffic increases, the serenity is maintained. The bar next door has a free fire show on the beach at night, just need to buy a drink to sit.

I booked the private plunge pool suite. Worth the upgrade. Maintenance and house keeping snuck in to check and maintain the pool daily.

I did not do breakfast every day at the resort but the day I did I was impressed. However make sure you check out the French bakery up the street for people watching and a ham and cheese croissant.

Rooms have a fridge but no mini bar. 7-11 is a 4 minute walk to stock up on your own cheap snacks, drinks and sunscreen.

This is a quite part of the island, family friendly, but still some crazy bars in walking distance without invading the privacy.

Can’t say enough about this resort. Felt like home.

The property is at a great location and has some of the best beach and pool access in my opinion. The staff were really helpful and the location is in close walking distance to plenty of massages, cafes, bars, and restaurants and the night market. The bar at the property made wonderful drinks and had some great daily deals.

We stayed in a plunge pool room that had a really hard bed, and the rooms seemed a worn, but it still was pretty nice.We asked for some extra pillows and they seemed to help. FYI, The cold pluge pool rooms have a separate hotel room above those rooms. You can hear people walking up and down the stairs and above you sometimes. It's worth mention if you don't have any noise cancelling sound at night or are a light sleeper. It's not terriblely loud, but still noticeable, but we were able to deal with it. Overall, it was a great stay and we would stay there again!

Close access to the beach was the only plus point. Breakfast quality was terrible, no one at the egg station. We didn’t go back after the first day. Butter was served in a bowl of iced water, floating. Room had hot water issues if the aircon was on strong, have to adjust to 27-28 degrees before hot water would flow. Cleaner did not lock our room door after servicing the room, we were shocked when we got back. No alternative for guests wanting a late check out (we were willing to pay) despite it was very obvious there were many vacant rooms. One morning I was woken by hammering and drilling (with no prior warning there would be work carried out). Water stains were not cleaned in the bathroom daily, more like it was uncleaned. Overall hotel is very aged and service standards not up to scratch

After that in told him he shall just be honest instead of making it up. He didn’t even apologise and was rushing us to pay! Without even a good bye or thank you which is extremely unusual in thailand as this country has been my second home for over 20 years.

Its my third time staying at the Pavilion and its great! A couple of ways it could be improved room wise (Grand Villa):
1) Better lighting in the room - its very dark.
2) Some sort of bead head - there isn't one which makes it impossible to sit up in bed say to read a book or watch a film.
3) Storage wise, there are no drawers, so other than the wardrobe there is no where to unpack your clothes into.

Food wise, the breakfast included is the same every day which is a bit repetitive and boring. Vegetarian food options are also a bit limited.
