We stayed for 13 nights as a family of 5. Hotel was nice and in a very good location. We had a family room which I did feel was too small for 2x adults and 3x children - there was not enough space to hang all our bits up. Hotel needs a bit of decoration, you can see its getting old. Found room to be a little dirty in the toilet/shower area it needs a proper deep clean. Staff by the pool very good - found the staff around the beach bar a bit miserable. Some could do with some training. Breakfast was nice enough to choose from. We did have a lovely holiday but probably wouldn't return here.

Good if you get a bargain but not great if you pay higher rates.
I would not rate this hotel 5 star more like a UK 3.4- 4 star max. Our first night we were given a very noisy room near to the road. The staff were good and changed us to much quieter room which we appreciated. The spa staff were lovely, but it’s located near a busy road which you could hear beyond the music. Our complimentary Thai massages were very good. The breakfast buffet had a good range and variety of options but I would say expect average - good depending on what your preferences are. For the rates we paid we were disappointed as expected more for our money. We would have accepted conditions etc if we’d got a bargain. However the staff were responsive and helpful. Easy access to Fisherman’s Village and tours.

Pros: Very clean hotel, well-maintained rooms, and an excellent kids' club. The pool is great (we loved seeing the water quality checks!), and it's just a 5-minute walk to Fisherman’s Village. Friendly staff.
Cons: Extremely high poolside prices (3x more than outside; 400 THB for a cocktail) and a serious lack of shade around the pool area.

We spent 5 days here
Beautiful gardens and lovely pool. We spent most of the time on the beach as there was a lovely breeze
Really liked the gardens, Beach and the beach bar
Thanks to Num and Oh in the Shine spa onsite for lovely massages. The Spa has a really nice vibe to it
We didnt use the gym but it looked to be well maintained.
The hotel front is on a busy road so it can get noisy at times if you have a room fronting on to it but the rooms themselves are comfortable and very clean.
The staff are very helpful and friendly whether in front of house or in the beach club
Food was lovely. Amazing choice at Breakfast buffet.
A short beach walk to fishermans village if you want something different in the evening.
The hotel fronts directly on to the lovely beach there is no road to cross to access.

Great resort. Our villa was perfect - we loved the outdoor shower, cabana and plunge pool. Our 3-year old slept on the day bed without us needing a rollaway bed.

Breakfast restaurant was a lovely setting and the fruit/juice stand was fun (though the food on the menu wasn’t very good).

The choice of pools and access to beach was awesome.

Didn’t love the marijuana stench around the villas though.

Great stay, not quite as exclusive as the pictures look, but still a great hotel. Pool quite busy with kids so spent a lot of time at the private beach. Good drink and food options at the beach bar. Breakfast was great every morning.

Our only downside was that we missed the housekeeping on 2 days as they turned up at 5:30pm - 6pm when we were getting ready, this should be done during the day / morning!

Would recommend though and would come back!

So many stairs

This hotel is quite large and runs from the main road all the way down to the beach which is where breakfast is served. The main block has a lift covering all floors and otherwise its lots of stairs including to the main pool which makes it inaccessible if disabled.
Staff are lovely. Breakfast was quite ok although a bit repetitive.
Close to fisherman's village and night market. All very walkable.
They have quite a number of private bungalows with their own little pool.
Unfortunately during our stay there was a lot of renovations going on including the pool area near the beach. Also rooms are not very soundproof from the outside as there is no double glazing on windows. Our room although spacious and generally clean could do with a refurb.
Wouldn't recommend staying if you had an issue with stairs.

I booked the courtyard plunge pool room purely for the option of the outdoor bath tub. The price was the same price for the larger pool and indoor bath tub. I was not able to use the outdoor bathtub. Not only was the tub dirty, beyond it getting dirty from being outside, but there were tiles that were broken and the area around the tub smelled. When I went to fill up the tub after tried to clean it, the water was a dingy brown and I ended up not using it during my stay. Neither did my friends who also booked the same room.

I was actually disappointed and should have booked the indoor bath tub. The plunge pool area was nice.

The cleanliness in the hotel room was another matter. I found dried chocolate on the floor near the bed. I never ate chocolate in the room. It didn’t not seem like there was a proper cleaning done, just a quick towel exchange and bed made up.

The hotel was lovely and our deluxe room 148 on 2nd floor was spacious and nor overlooked. The room was huge and had separate walk in shower and toilet. Shower pressure for the soaker head was weak although body jets were very powerful. Room service was ok but should have replenished the tea/coffee/whitener daily.

Our only grievance which was resolved was that we booked the snack and daily cocktails package with expedia. The hotel was clueless what this meant and tried to fob us off with a daily snack to share.

The bar were petty with yhe snacks and gave a smaller platter than if you had paid the 250bht. That was petty but that was the only thing. Kitty resolved the snack issue.

The hotel has a massive main pool and a secluded adult pool.

Grounds were beautiful and there was never a problem getting a parasol and sun lounger by either the beach or pools.

We loved our stay and would return.

Having seen standard rooms from the outside only. I suggest always booking a better room.

Thank you for a great stay

This hotel has great, friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are well maintained and clean. The breakfast is excellent and there are two pool areas. Everything is spotless. The only thing I would say is that they need to adhere to their own towel pool policy and remove them if no-one turns up within 30 mins as there aren’t enough beds and they need more parasols on the beach. Would recommend but it is a family resort so not for you if you get annoyed by kids.

Had a great stay as a solo female traveller, lovely staff, great location, loved being able to walk out directly onto the beach, be a walkable distance to some great food spots and the Fisherman’s Village Market area. I had booked onto a few tours on the island and this location was easy for the pick up cars to collect me from and drop me back to. Really beautiful grounds and had a perfect relaxing time. They also offered watersports like SUP paddleboarding hire. Only negative was that they were renovating for most of my time there (I wasn't made aware till arrived) and therefore I didn’t get to stay in the room I had booked. Ended up in a “family room” which was bigger so that was good, but just not to my taste style-wise. I had 2 days at the end when the renovations finished and the work they had done looked very nice. Would highly recommend this hotel! :)

I enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Bandara. The resort had all the amenities and lacked for nothing. Breakfast at the water’s edge every morning was a treat, as was the fire show during one of their dinners. And sunset coupled with happy hour at the bar is a great way to while away the hours. The staff are all so helpful and friendly. I must give a special mention to their guest relations manager Kitty. He inquired daily into how my stay was going and whenever I needed his help (a late check out) he was quick to sort. People like Kitty who go the extra mile to help make the stay that more exceptional. I can’t wait to return.

Some fab local restaurants nearby and enjoyed drinks at coco tams on the beach. The only criticism would be the breakfast. The food wasn't very well covered and the room was hot so the flies were a bit off putting, especially on the fruit. The juices were also too sweet and artificial - Thailand has such lovely fruit, a juice station would go down well!

We stayed in one of the plunge villas (2 adults 1.5 y old baby) - it was the best as you can enjoy all services of the hotel but you have your privacy. Small pool & garden were great for our baby - very convinient!
Villa was spaceous, everything working well, cleaned every day. We tried several times also room service (food from restaurant) - fresh, tasty, did not take too long.
Breakfast - great start into the day with eating well and enjoying the view at the sea! Variety of food was very good - the kid’s corner was very nice as well, our baby liked the food, too!
Property area - entrance and reception are at the main road but family rooms and villas are behind it, so it’s not noisy (our villa was very quiet).
Pools - big one in the middle of the property area, 2 (adults only) at the beach. We didn’t try pools as we were either in our small villa pool or at the sea. We went to the beach in the morning and always found a spot there. Also the sand bags to lay down and relax were nice!
Our baby definitely loved the kids club - very spacious and full of different toys!
Staff was always very friendly - you see they like their job and try their best!
If we ever go to Koh Samui again, we definitely book this hotel again!!!

Not 4 star

The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. However, on arrival we asked to change our room overlooking the swimming pool as it was very tired and in need of decorating. The furnishings were pleasant and in good condition but the paint work was chipped and marked. We were told all similar rooms were of the same standard so we stayed where we were. We could have up graded to one of the bungalows but didn't want to give up a beautiful view from the balcony. The housekeeping of the room however was poor. It wasn't cleaned most days before late afternoon and the balcony was never swept or washed the ten days we were there. Actually this was also true of the corridors and stairs where a dead lizard lay for the last five days and is probably still there! The towels were also often very poor being old and thin and occasionally in holes. This was very disappointing for supposedly a four star hotel. This was our 4th destination on this trip to Thailand (we've been before) and it didn't compare with the other four star hotels we stayed in.

Lovely hotel along main road and beach front. Staff excellent! Our room was at front of Hotel and very noisy from traffic on main road. Would suggest room door sealed more to maybe cut out some of noise. Separate toilet and shower area with sliding opaque glass doors with two sinks I liked but insufficient privacy as open planned to room. Ok for “couple” but not two friends sharing.

We were checked in by Nutty and she was so helpful and wonderful and personally made sure we had everything we needed. We got an upgraded room which was incredible too. We loved our stay at Bandara Resort. Thank you
