Negativt :
Ingen vand i stranden, kan de ikke rigtig gøre noget ved. Larm fra de lokale barer.

Beautiful traditionally designed Thai resort.

Our room was clean and spacious and the bathroom even included a bath.

We were on level 2 and didn't hear any night noise, however my sister was one floor above and said they could hear music most of the night so I recommend requesting a lower level room.

The staff here go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need and more. Massive shout out to Jackson, Jeep and Kevin who worked so hard to make sure we were well looked after and enjoying our stay.

Reception staff would benefit from some training in what to recommend when a guest asks what places and things are good to do on the island.

We had dinner on the beach here on our last day and the food was great and it was a lovely set up where we could put our feed in the sand.

The beach out front of the resort wasn't the best for swimming while we were there but that could have been the time of year? It's a nice safe lagoon and if it was a little deeper it would have been perfect. The resort pool is perfect though and they even let you drink and eat from the pool.

Breakfast had all the options you could want, from fruit, to Thai food to an egg station.

Highly recommend staying here, we had a great, comfortable and fun stay!

The staff were very helpful and always smiling. The atmosphere for dinner on the beach was fantastic. The water was too shallow for swimming, but you could wade and play in the water. The hotel was located in a relatively quiet part of the beach, perfect for relaxation. The appliances and TV were all new. Unfortunately, the towels in the room were a bit old.

Air conditioning in the guest rooms is great, but this is the only place in the resort that has AC.

Room could be cleaner, there was dust all over the room at check-in and tiny ants everywhere. We stayed for 9 nights and on 2 days consecutively the bath was not cleaned even though it was visibly dirty (from sand and use). I also expected from a 4 star hotel to have the plumbing sorted to enable toilet paper to be flushed like most visitors would be accustomed to. I understand this is an issue across Samui but other third world countries have this worked out.

Breakfast was satisfactory. Hot food is kept hot and cold food (salad, fruit etc) is kept in an airconditioned room however, other food such as pastries and cakes are sitting at room temperature and exposed to flies. The egg station (cooked to order) was great however, again some foods such as chicken skewers and waffles were exposed to the elements.

Found that pool bar staff were not overly attentive. They were ok if you went up to the bar to order a meal or drink - they would deliver to where you are sitting however, they did not approach guests on sunloungers to take any orders and barely cleared empty bottles, glasses until you had vacated.

Probably wouldn't recommend staying here for anyone who has an issue with using a lot of stairs.

Where do I start? From check-in to check-out this resort did not disappoint! Front desk staff and pool bar staff deserve a raise!!!! My wife and I were upgraded rooms for our 4 night stay…. and WOW! everything was perfect. Clean, spacious and luxurious. Staff were astonishing - Very accommodating whether it was booking a tour/motor bike to service at meals or pool sides drinks! This resort is central with lots of options on Chaweng Beach for night life. Beach is clean, swallow and swim-able . After walking the beach I would not book anything North of this resort if you like swimming in the Ocean ! There were lots of pool/ beach chairs - No need to reserve. We will definitely be back, loved our vacation!!!

Excellent staff but the facilities at the hotel are very poor.
Rooms are dated and tired.
Beach non exsistent - the hotel decided to carry out pool maintenence for 2 days. Guests therefore had no beach due to high tide or pool. Poor timing. This is unacceptable and pool maintanence should have been better managed by the hotel.

We were assured of a vegan menu prior to booking - that too non exsistent. Guess they promise you the world during booking!! Please stay away if you work hard for your money and have expectations from your holiday.

Dara Samui is a wonderful small resort with amazing staff. The rooms are super spacious and wonderfully decorated with a thai and modern mix. The downside is that the beach in front of the hotel totally disappears during high water days making it impossible to hang on the beach. This is not the case for the entire beach so you will have to go via the road in front of the hotel to another part of the beach.

Honestly nothing negative to say about the hotel itself, but rather about Chaweng being a very busy place with lots of drunk British people..

Breakfast was also very good with a wide selection of food and an egg bar which made pretty much anything you wanted with eggs. Location was also perfect, at the edge of Chaweng, just a small walk on the beach to all the beach clubs and bars. Would recommend and shall definitely come back.

Pros: Amazing staff - polite and professional. Fantastic restaurant and bar snacks. In a great area in terms of shops and restaurants.
Cons: The beach at the rear of the property is not great for swimming - shallow and slimy sand. Very noisy at nightime from the local nightclubs. Room was in need of renovating. Garden view is actually a view over an abandoned area with rubbish. This is one of the hotels in Koh Samui with an old sewage system so you can't put toilet paper in the toilet. Room was a bit stinky. Our room was always one of the last to be cleaned so we had to wait every day for it to be cleaned once we'd finished on the beach.

It is not an adults only hotel and that was the first disappointment because we booked it precisely for that reason, they should not offer it like that because I saw children every day of my stay. The hotel is very well maintained and the rooms are large and spacious, very nice and clean, the breakfast is very good, the beach is not the best, the water hits your knees if you are lucky, there are better beaches with paid sun loungers, you should wear earplugs because the noise from the clubs is very loud, I did not like that before 5 pm they start collecting all the sun loungers and if you are in the pool they sweep your face to make you leave and the employees change their attitude so you leave because they should be doing their job of setting tables for dinner making guests who are not having dinner and want to enjoy the sunset on the beach and the pool that closes at 7 pm feel like second-class guests. It should be somewhat equitable, half the tables are for dinner and the other half are for those who have just arrived and beach lovers.

First things first: All the staff at this property have been super-friendly and responsive. I saw other reviews that complained about the staff. Not sure why. Maybe older.

Why am I giving this a 1-Star review? Because the hotel simply isn't what's advertised. This is by no means a \"4-Star Resort\".

It's maybe a 3-star hotel, and an old one at that. If you are a backpack tourist, and you get this for $40: OK! But I paid more than I paid for 5-star resorts in places like Phuket or Bangkok.

The beach is horrible. You are not at the open sea, but in a shallow lagoon. You could wade 200m out, climb over a damn, and get to the sea. Yay!

One towel a day max? Not enough beach chairs? That's 4-star?

Breakfast is good, but the regular restaurant is bad. Cold and flavorless food is hard to do with Thai food, but they do it.

Oh, and it is loud, because you are right next to the airport.

Worst part: It is all old and run down. The place needs to be renovated badly. To give you an idea: I slept in my clothes, because the room was so run down. Everything smells bad. No AC in the bath. Internet doesn't work.

When I told the staff I was cutting my losses and was moving, they told me I couldn't change the reservation. Look: I am not getting what I paid for, so I am leaving. In the end, Expedia reimbursed me, because it was so horrible. They should delist this place as 4-star.

Chaweng is also awful, unless you are into smoking cannabis and getting drunk as cheap as possible.

Avoid!

It’s funny when you are in Samui you don’t want to spent too much time in your room, so why bother with a nice hotel?

You will be happy you decided to stay here, the room is spacious with a massive bathroom (equal size to the bedroom) with a deep bath and large bench space for toiletries and makeup.

Then you venture to the back of the hotel for a relaxed breakfast with a menu that varies daily overlooking the spectacular pool and ocean front. Enhancing the tranquil environment the pool is surrounded by waterfall, frangepani trees and day beds for relaxing and of course the bar.

Two complimentary water bottles per day and a mini fridge (with fee for items). The included breakfast buffet is large with good variety. Every staff I encountered was helpful and friendly. Really wonderful people.

However, there isn't really a beach there. Technically speaking, it is waterfront, with a small strip of sand when the tide is low. I wouldn't call that a beach, there are actual beaches on the island. Also, the area on the street surrounding the hotel is peak Chewang, loud, noisy, dirty sidewalks and rude shirtless tourists walking around. If you want to be in the middle of bars, restaurants and massage parlors, then this location would be excellent. If you want beach, peace and tranquility, then this place isn't for you.

Ideal central Chaweng location, and on the beach.
Only downside for me was that the pool beach bar area was a bit too congested, too crowded - the tide was often unusually high during my stay so they could not have sunbeds on the beach as I think they usually would, so this restricted the space available.

Till följd av en kortare renovering vid pooldäcket vilken skulle omfatta halva delen av vår vistelse, så skiftade vi hotell med hjälp av hotellets mycket vänliga och hjälpsamma personal.
Detta hotell kan sannerligen väl rekommenderas.

Great breakfast buffet with a made to order section.
They have a great beach area that has a break so it is calmer than the rough waves further down the beach. Walking distance from beach clubs and water activities but this resort offers so much you really do not have to leave.

This hotel is on a nice part of the beach and walkable to many restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

My only complaint is poor water, pressure in the shower (I have long thick hair), and the water temperature fluctuating from hot to cold. Not sure there’s a whole lot the resort can do about this, we did make a complaint about the water pressure which got slightly better, but no changes in the fluctuating water temperatures from hot to cold.

The staff were kind, and attentive.

Make sure to get a coconut shake! I think our family had them every day. The other fruit shakes were also delicious, but the coconut one is special served right in the coconut!

Dinner on the beach the way they set up. The tables is truly a unique experience.

The seafood is excellent, as others have also said.

I e been tying many different resorts in similar price range with similar ratings and this was pretty high up on all areas - except for two items. Parking is almost impossible- the local taxi service parks multiple cars right in front and even cones off available spots to save for other drivers. You have to argue and wrestle with them - sometimes they back fown and others not - the hotel can’t do anything because they pay the police so they won’t make them move! It’s prime party spot for Chaweng - so good luck.
2nd is that there’s the biggest club not too far away and if snd when the wind is blowing from the wrong direction- you hear and feel the noise and beat until 5am. Many guests complained - but nothing the resort can do- 2 nights no problem. 2 night- ear plugs didn’t even help.
Breakfast was one of the better ones in the area. Very convenient location for dinner, activities
If you don’t have a car and are a heavy sleeper- this is great place!

Lovely Old Thai style hotel

Great location. Lovely old Thai Style accommodation. Shame as a 5 star hotel they charge for a bucket of ice and they need to do something about the seating at pool and beach area. Not suffer by a long shot. We couldn’t get a seat anyway we were there.

Great place

This place seems to have mixed reviews, but after learning about the covid policy on the island, and hotels on the island being completely shut down for years, they have alot of catch up to do to get back to pre covid states. This includes maintenance, updates etc.
Our stay was great, nice spacious rooms, very polite staff, always willing to accommodate requests.
Only complaint was the bed and pillows.

The resort was beautiful with the peace and quiet that I needed.
The staff were really friendly.
Special mention to the lady who sits and organises tours - extremely helpful.
The design of the room was exquisite.
Accessibility to everything was great.

Fabulous time in Koh Samui- Dara Samui

Great stay with the Dara Samui team. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, poolside and breakfast staff made a point to know us and worked hard to make our stay very memorable. Excellent team. Location is excellent and accessible to any activities that would interest you. Supper on the beach is a very romantic setting as the waves wash up right next to you and food was excellent.

Nice beach front hotel

I enjoyed my stay. The location was great. Room was nice and beautiful. Close to places to eat. Friendly and nice staff. Beach front hotel so you can enjoy the beach steps away. Only issue was on my way back. The driver that I they ordered for me was 20 minutes late. Other then that I enjoyed my stay.

The pictures looked good on Expedia but when we arrived the condition of the property was horrible. The beach was dirty, sand bags by the pool, no iron , stuff were unhelpful. We actually spend one night instead of two, checked out early and left to another resort: I would not recommend to stay here!
