The room was clean and shower was mold-free. Staff was friendly and the location was great, it was right in front of a beach and the view from their pool is beautiful, we stayed here for a night before we moved to Phangan island and it was very close to the pier. The street the hotel is on is quite busy so you won't be bored exploring around the hotel while you stay.

Gorgeous place, we told staff it was our honeymoon and they upgraded our room and gave us a beautiful folded swan towel with fresh flowers. The resort is right next to so many amazing restaurants, 7/11 and a laundromat so we didn’t have to go far for anything. Staff was very nice and the poolside bar is amazing 👌

We had a lovely stay at this hotel in Koh Samui. The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The pool was clean and inviting, and we really appreciated the complimentary use of the kayak, which was a fun bonus.

Housekeeping was very accommodating, and all the staff were consistently helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The location was convenient, with a 7-Eleven and motorbike rental just a short walk away, making it easy to grab essentials or get around the island.

That said, walking around the area was a bit challenging due to the lack of proper sidewalks, and dining options nearby were limited, with only a couple of nice restaurants within easy reach.

Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, especially for those planning to explore Koh Samui by motorbike or relax by the pool with a view.

Always love this hotel... Love the location and the staff are amazing. Nice views from some rooms too. Staff always make me feel special as I have stayed a number of times. Some small changes have let the place down a little. The bar and restaurant changes aren't the greatest but I believe the hotel are trying to rectify this. The addition of a macdonalds fast food joint adjoining the hotel is really awful.. But I believe they are trying to find ways of distancing themselves from this.... Early days. Overall a good stay.... Hope they can tweak the issues and I'll be back. Rooms to book is 601 and or 701 or 702.great value for money.

Great hotel! Very relaxing. The pool was never too crowded and the hotel has steps directly down to the beach (and a little shower for your feet!). Pool gets the sun for most of the day and the beach gets sun all day (including a decent sunset). There was a bit of boat traffic in the day as there is a pier either side of the hotel but this was not a problem. Lovely room and bathroom, very clean. The only issue we had (and the reason it’s 4 stars and not 5) is that the steps around the hotel are not clearly marked out and due to their stone coating they blend in to each other very easily which caused a fall. The area has a few of restaurants in walking distance but not a great selection of Thai food, mainly western. We did eat at Jai Jai Leng Saap twice during our stay and this was great food and very reasonable!
Overall, great stay - thank you!

We were blown away by this place! What started as a last-minute booking turned out to be an amazing surprise. The airport pickup was a luxurious touch, and the warm welcome when we arrived set the tone for a great stay. Even though we showed up early, the staff had our room ready in just 45 minutes.

The room itself was fantastic, with a stunning view from the private terrace. It had everything we needed, and we couldn't help but imagine spending more than just one night there.

The only downside was the construction noise from next door, which made it hard to fully relax. But once that's finished, we'd definitely come back.

Punnpreeda family vacation

The location of punnpreeda was great. Very close to lots of restaurants, not to far from fisherman's village and airport. Whilst there, the pool was being worked on... So there was no pool access. Instead, they shuttled the family off to the replay condos for pool time. Another thing to note is that the beach is on the marina... So lots of tours departing throughout the day. Other than that the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. You should expect to pay about 200+ baht to go anywhere by taxi....though there are many scooter rental nearby

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Koh Samui and had great adventures during our stay. The weather was brilliant for the time of year despite forecasts and we would visit here again.

Went swimming for an hour, trying to keep underneath the water. Only one man temporarily sunbathing on the beach. Had the water all to my self. Do not know why really I could float effortlessly on the water. My skin tried to sunburn after only an hour if swimming? The Prunnpreeda dinner menu needs improvement. The free, breakfast buffet was excellent after 6:30 am. Orange juice, bacon slices and cut chicken sausages were yummy. Combo four, an omelette with four white cheese slices, I recommend for breakfast.

Would not make you want to return.

On arrival during the evening we were told that the hotel did not have a room for us after being booked for months but alternative arrangements had been made, We were taken to a new building by car and dropped off until the morning when we were picked up for breakfast. Should a problem have arisen during the night no contact on site. Accommodation was not bad but not where we expected it and parts still under construction. At the end of our holiday we returned for one night as we were using the hotel as a stop over near the airport only and could not check in until 2:00 pm. Only after complaining we were given a room after reminding them of our treatment on the first night! Staff were pleasant but a service charge was added on to drinks and food which were over priced in my opinion in comparison with our experiences whilst on holiday. Would not want to return.

I stayed in way nicer places for a lot less money.

While there I spent most of my time in the pool. The food is decent & Jackie, part of the staff is so lovely (everyone is friendly for the most part, but she is the best!). The rooms are old, dirty floors, cracked fixtures in the bathroom & holes in all of the linen-I assume because everything is white & gets bleached constantly.

Their staff are all super friendly and always willing to assist and the rooms are lovely. The only downfall as with many small reaorts was the breakfast selection which we found to be minimal and average at best.

Stayed over for two nights thinking I made a good good choice but I was wrong.

A very quiet area and not a lot going on, you have to travel at least 20 minutes by Taxi to get to the night life where its all happening. Breakfast was limited with no vegetarian options. Used the laundry service and two of my t-shirts came back dirtier than before. Made a compliant to the staff and they sent it back for another wash however the staines were still there.

Friendly and cosy hotel right next to the beach.

I booked a taxi with Lomprayah Ferry who asked if my Punpreeda hotel was the Pool or another (couldn't make what he said but I told him neither, it was the Beach Resort) and showed him both the hotel name and address. I was brought Punpreeda POOL resort anyway and ended up walking 2km further down to Punpreeda Hip Resort (Expedia titles it as Punpreeda Beach Resort which probably confused taxi driver and I).

I was annoyed and not looking forward to another Maya Buri Boutique Hotel (depressing) experience but when I eventually got there, the staff were all smiles- from front desk to gardener, maintenance guys to restaurant staff. The quiet air-conditioning worked fine, decent cable channels to escape the mid afternoon sun and plenty of roadside restaurants and food stalls for the local foodie experience. The airport is nearby but the noise isn't deafening- instead, it can make for picturesque photos as the planes are incoming from the sea, bypassing the beach right at the edge of the hotel pool/restaurant.

Dinner at their restaurant was great but prepare for mosquito repellent. Happy hours for cocktails was almost half price. Instead of walking to Big Buddha Temple for sunrise, I took the hotel's free kayak and visited the perimeters of the temple and Ban Rak beach.

Great little hotel

We just needed a well priced bed and breakfast for the one night.
Located perfectly between airport and the Petcharat Pier for our boat to Koh Phangan.
Very clean, quiet , great pool and beach area, walk to shops and Big Buddha. Probably not a long term option for us but great for a few nights.
Jackie was very helpful with late checkout.
We'll drop back again.

Overrated

Arriving at Punnpreeda is a baffling experience. You do not expect the front of a beach resort to be on the main road. We were 6 persons, all in disbelief given the seductive pictures, which also seemed to offer a generally higher standard than what awaits you.
2 of our friends had problems sleeping at night because their villa was close to the street.
The 'luxury villas' are not luxury villas but fairly nice, quite simple concrete constructions, with a not very smart layout, as the ward-robe is inside the bath-room. The mosquito-nets are not mosquito-nets but decoration drapes, so mossy repellent is needed. The bed was good. The pool area is small, nice, but pool too small for exercise. The restaurant served us some very good food. The hotel does not possess an iron, so you have to walk down the street to the dry cleaner for ironing. One of the hotel's pictures shows a hammock. We saw no such thing, and there is hardly any place to put it.

great beachfront hotel

had a great stay here in October. staff are just lovely, happy 2 hours every night with your feet in the sand, good food at restaurant. you can walk to big Buddha and if you really want even to fishermans village[takes a while though]. hired motorbikes through hotel so a great base to explore the island. lots of little beer bars along the street with beer starting at 40bt happy hours. nice coffee shops only a couple of shops to the right [ best cappacino's and hamburgers555]. try not to miss the sunday session at secret garden-great night. all in all we loved punpreeda and the area. beautiful beachfront, great rooms, will definitely stay here again.

Quiet hotel, great staff

The hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly. Zero complaints about the actual hotel except the incense that they have lit in the rooms when you first check in. If you are sensitive to smell, I would maybe call ahead and ask them not to light it. The main manager that is there during the day has excellent English language skills, the manager that is there during the night is less proficient. The hotel is located on the north shore of the island and relatively far from Chaweng Beach and Lamai Beach and most of the attractions on the island. If you're going for a personal retreat then it is perfect. If you're going to take in all the sites the island has to offer, then this may not be hotel for you. Taxis from the hotel to the different beaches can be expensive.

Very nice but far away

This is a great hotel but it is FAR AWAY from anything. If you are interested in a romantic getaway with little to no interaction with other people this is the hotel for you. otherwise get something in chaweng. The prices at the pool bar are a bit on the expensive side but that what you get when you go away from the main areas. less options the more they can charge

A Delightful Bargain!

The hotel was really quite lovely! You got a lot for the price. The pool, beach and restaurant were all fabulous. The staff was kind and attentive. I had a room that included free breakfast. Outstanding choice! I would highly recommend.

Affordable villa stay with excellent staff!!

The hotel is less than 10 mins from the airport and 15 mins from Samui's main attraction Chaweng.With excellent staff and decent rooms it was overall a nice experience.The breakfast buffet doesnt have any variety but whatever is served tastes good.The poolside breakfast comes with an amazing view of the ocean.Wi-fi was decent and they help u rent cars and scooters as well.We rented a scooter for 250 bahts/day.
