The room was the worst i have stayed in in 40 years of traveling no management to deal with issues raised on seeing the room the room was not the one sent with our confirmation. No headbord electrical sockets on the wall in the middle of the bed no outside space atip outside the toilet was dirty and in a cupboard the ensuite only hold on person and you can use the sink from the bedroom. Our ond other guests personal details leaked and scammer and hotel not interested overall room a 2 star not 4/5 star i belive the photo and description is fraud lent

I’ve been traveling for 12+ years and have never experienced anything like this. From the moment we arrived at Deva Beach Resort, the receptionist was cold and unhelpful. We asked for a paid upgrade—she refused, claiming nothing was available, even though I saw rooms online. Only the next day, she said.

The room was disgusting: dried stains on the walls, black pillows, and a filthy bathroom. Our luggage was delayed, so we had nothing with us. We asked for toothbrushes and bathrobes—she said the resort doesn’t offer them. I asked for the manager—she claimed there isn’t one, only a CEO, and refused to give any contact. She wouldn't even share her name.

She didn’t explain anything—no info about breakfast or facilities. When I asked where breakfast was, she just said, “Walk ahead and you’ll find it.”

After 3 hours of arguing, a “new room” magically appeared—for 100€ more. This one had everything we asked for earlier, proving she lied. The next day, she laughed in our faces as we passed reception.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable in any hotel, let alone a resort. Avoid Deva Beach Resort at all costs. It completely ruined the start of our vacation.

As other reviewers have noted about the sunset, it is a great location for that.
The facility has everything you expect from a budget resort but it’s clearly past its prime. The sun loungers are all stained and grubby. The pool bar is used to store an empty fridge. The staff are all polite but this is normal for all of Thailand.
The rooms are adequate but in my case the shower rail holding the soap and shampoo slipped out of the wall with both plastic bottles smashing on the tiles. On checkout they had the cheek to try and charge me for this. Of course I didn’t pay but it shows the level of care they have for this aging property that they try and blame guests for its failing state.
It’s a shame as it has so much potential if some money were put into it by a new owner.

Great hotel. Very nice room. Clean and newly updated. Jonas at reception was helpful upon check in and booking a taxi. Only downside is the beach is not good for swimming unless you have some sort of water shoe. Amazing beach view for the sunset over the temple. There are a couple pools on property that are nice so can cool down that way. Food is average and a bit on the expensive side at the restaraunt.

Beautiful but disappointing

We stayed at the Deva resort for 8 nights over Christmas. Throughout the stay the staff were helpful, kind and pleasant.
However, we did encounter some issues with the hotel general running off the hotel. The hotel claims it has a pool bar, beach bar and restaurant. In reality there is only one bar. There is a second bar (DIB) but it seems like they don't want this place to succeed. It constantly looks closed and even though they say their Happy Hour is 11-midnight, we asked for a drink at 10.30 only to be told they had already called last orders. The lights and TVs are usually turned off and furniture coveted up. When we did eat there the food was wonderful! It's a shame they don't make more effort here.
The hotel also no longer has a spa. Instead they refer you to outside massage parlours.
The pool, which we had room access to, was freezing, almost unusable on some days.
The hotel location is also very remote, a taxi to the closest place will cost at least 300baht, and with this hotel being the only local place for good food and drinks, they'll make sure you pay for it, the hotel info also says that they provide a free shuttle, which they do not.
Overall, the hotel is actually beautiful, the staff are wonderful but this hotel has so much potential and the management could do so much more.

Decaying Beauty

Once again, stayed in a Grand Deluxe room. Very comfortable bedding and clean room. The breakfast buffet is one of the best on the island. The downside to the place, is the renovating that is going on around the buildings. And personally I think they left their run a bit late. The place is slowly falling down around their ears.

Was disappointed with the building that we were booked into, as it is slowing falling apart and was a slightly different layout to the same room (grand deluxe pool access) in the other buildings.

Loads of positives and a few suggestions.

I surprised my husband for his 40th birthday with a trip to Koh Samui and I’m very glad I chose Deva Resort and Spa for our stay.
Positives-
Friendly and helpful staff
Great happy hours
Good breakfast spread
Very centrally located- close to lots of grocery stores and loads of restaurants
Lovely spa massage centre
Property is green and clean
Clean and comfortable room with a jacuzzi and a sit out.

Suggestions-
The plumbing and drainage systems in the bathroom and kitchen need some maintenance because there was a lot of pooling of water which can be quite unsanitary.
As a couple who smokes it was a little tiresome to keep going to the balcony for a cigarette, especially in the heat. Suggest some rooms allocated for smokers with good exhaust systems. Would be great!
A full length mirror in the room would be great since there isn’t a single one except in the bathroom.

Could’ve been better

Quite during my stay. Lacy atmosphere and ambiance. It has potential but seemed neglected and staff could be more attentive. I sat in the restaurant for 15mins. I had to physically get up myself to get the menu. Food was good but service was poor. When it came to dessert I was exited to try the coconut ice cream in a fresh coconut. It was very disappointing. A time scoop of ice cream sitting on cubes of cut up bread Inside the coconut. It was the strangest combination and expected way more from a restaurant where you pay western prices. I was to find out afterwards that they had run out of sticky rice and had just substituted my desert with bread instead. Why wasn’t I given the option to change my order if the ingredients where not available. Why make something below restaurant standard just to serve up a dish. Very very poor chefs skills if you ask me and I was paying top dollar for this desert. Upon queering this to staff they seemed indifferent and very unhelpful and unphased that this had occured.

You are better off staying someplace else, a bungalow on the beach would’ve been way nicer... dint waste you money here, it’s not worth it.

If you won’t good Thai food go across the road to Mamma Dang for a massage and a lovely home cooked meal.

Loved being so close to the temples

Our overall experience was fantastic and really enjoyed our time at Deva! It was very relaxing and calm, away from the hustle and bustle of the main areas, a perfect couples getaway. The 3 pools are great and the beautiful sunset is amazing and romantic. Free kayaks available too, and some decent restaurants walkable. Only thing that was a shame was the 'beach' that it is on is not really swimmable, but the pools made up for this and lovely beaches can be accessed a short drive away.

Initially our room was in pretty poor order.

The staff was helpful though and allowed us to change rooms. That room had a pipes that would screech at points and something was rattling in the a/c unit. We just lived with it but it speaks to the condition of the place. I recommend getting one of the upgraded rooms if you want to see something closer to 4 stars.

The hotel is beautiful. But do not try to order room service, extremely disappointing after travelling a full day. Only thing we wanted was to lay down and eat some room service. Ordered a basic penne with tomato sauce and a cheeseburger. The entire meals were cold. Upon calling them back to come take it back we thought that was the end of it.
20 minutes later there was a knock on the door and it was a different person bringing back the same food which had bites taken out of it, trying to say that she warmed it up and it's good now.

Pros:
-beautiful rooms, spacious and clean.
-our room had patio with private jetted tub and a little bench/bed to relax on
-breakfast was pretty good
-staff were wonderful
-small in pool bar
-quiete and secluded
-a few small local restaurants (the outdoor kind)
-the shower in the room was amazing. It was one of those rainfall showers with amazing pressure and felt great after swimming in sea salt all day.

Cons:
-since it’s furher away from a lot of the mAin streets and attractions you pay around 400 Baht one way to get anywhere. The only thing that is walkable is the big Buddha and a few little food vendors, and of course a seven eleven.
-online it says rooms come with a clothes dryer, only the rooms with pool access get a drying rack, which we found after after doing all of our laundry and coming back with hopes of hanging it up.
-the beach at the property is in a bay, it’s rocky and not very pretty and doesn’t look swimable.

Overall we loved the property, just wish it had a better beach with views to relax on. But for the price you get a really nice accommodation and good customer service. It would be nice if they provided a shuttle maybe once or twice a day to some of the main drop off pick up spots because the taxis and grabs do start to add up, next time I would probably choose a location that is a bit closer to stuff.

Excellent service by the staff. Pool access room was nice, but the bed was rock hard and uncomfortable. The beach was a let down, but if you like boat trips ie sea fishing, cruises, speedboats, etc, it's in a perfect location, right next to the departure pier. I can recommend Mr Tu's for any such trips. The hotel is a little walk away from the nearest village/town, but you can hire mopeds either from the hotel for 250 Baht per day, or from the top of the road for 150 Baht per day. The local 7 Elevan was good value for money, but beware, if you use the Family Mart on the opposite corner from the 7 Elevan, they tried to short change me on 2 occasions (100 Baht each time).

A favourite for us!

We stayed in a private pool villa and it was exceptional. The staff were very friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. The beach isn’t great but the pool was where we were anyway. An infinity pool that seems to go endlessly into the ocean. There’s only one restaurant I. The hotel but with great food and an excellent breakfast, still missing that! On a night you’ll need a taxi out to more bars and restaurant but Fisherman’s Village at Bo Phut and Chaweng are a 10-15 minute taxi away, we liked the peace of being out of a main resort but your close enough for when you need it. During the day we hired a scooter to get about which if you’re happy doing that then your set, roads are quiet in Samui and there aren’t many of them so it’s pretty easy to find your way.

A bit old and worn out

Online the Deva looks brand-spanking shiny and new but in reality it’s a bit careworn and lacking in the simple maintenance that would make it an amazing hotel.

The location is wonderful, the beach beautiful but the grubby walls, creaky floors, unvarnished surfaces and lack of attention have somewhat diminished the impact the hotel COULD make.

On the plus side, the resort staff were friendly (even if the checkin staff were a bit ‘all-business’ and a little cold).

All in all I feel you could spend your money far better in Samui and get a lot more for it.

Location is a negative

They say they are locatated on a beach so as a traveler you think you can swim at this beach. Think again it’s dirty and unsafe to swim in. On the other hand the rooms are large showers had amazing water pressure and I had a spa on my balcony very good value!

View of Electricity pylon

Arrived at resort. Rooms on 3rd floor, no lift. Rooms very nice but when we opened the blinds there was a view onto a huge electricity pylon. We asked for room changes because of the ugly view and the fact that one of our party had a painful knee. Three floors was too much for her. Told no equivalent rooms would have to upgrade. We did so at an extra cost per night for each room. Staff very sullen, not helpful at all.

Second time at Deva - we really like it!

Second time at Deva. Rooms are great, pools are great. Probably best if you willing to hire a scooter to get around as taxi to chawang or Fishermans village is a bit pricey. Family mart and 7/11 5 min walk with other restaurants and food walking distance. We would recommend it needs a bit of a paint job, awesome resort, Absolutely prime location for sunset, it would just be a tad nicer with a paint job. Beds great and rooms really great size. Buffet breakfast is standard but has everything you need.

I loved this hotel. The bed was so comfortable and big. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much. I stayed in a grand delux and it was beautiful. The bathroom was really spacious and I loved the big bath.The pool was literally a step down from my veranda. The breakfast was really nice a lot of choice.
The only thing that I was disappointed with was that you couldn't swim in the sea at the hotel because it wasn't very clear and looked a bit dirty.

A far gem

Beautiful place, very clean and has a nice breakfast
Right on the beach
Though its beach not accessible to swimmers because its very shallow for about 500 meters far from the shore. There is a beautiful sunset view and boats are available for trips around the island
Its a very silent location but also far from the chaweng area... we had a scooter so we did a 15-20 minuts ride to any direction.
Taxis offered by the hotel are about twice the price, you should find a taxi another way...
Pools are beautiful, and what a jacuzzi at the balcony,,! overall we are happy with the place and recommend it to those who attend to rent a scooter or a car
