In brief, i would not return to this hotel unless their prices get cheaper 35% or more compared to similar hotels. The hotel call itself resort when is far from. it does not have a dedicated restaurant, not any other facility besides the small swimming pool, no bar, no restaurant, no span, no nothing. The hotel is no accessible for people witg mobility problems, no ramps but several stairs. No welcome guys on the main entrance, you need to find your way with your luggage all the way to the lobby. I booked a family room... which is far from a expected family room. to.put it simple, it is a room for 4 people. No table for four, no microwave or any facility that typical family rooms have. The hotel have conecftuon to the beach, but they do not have deal with the hotels on the beach that own the beach loungers... So, you will need to seek rent in other please but not there because hotels does not rent theur beach loungers. The breakfast was ok of you arecome from.countries where hotel breakfastals are american style. However, compared to thailand standard, the breakfast was limited, they do have options, the minimal.for each category, which for a cheaper hotel would be nice, but not for the price range that i booking. The taste for the curry were good, fruits were nice, terrible coffee, 3 typea of breads, vegetarian options, and some other dishes. The internet was terrible, disconnected all the time and extremely slow. at the point to be useless. we activate out hotspots.

This hotel is an overpriced dump. It’s not even on the beach. It’s very outdated and not well-maintained. The windows in the room were dirty, there was a smell of sewer, the staff was not helpful. Don’t waste your time or money on this hotel. There are much nicer ones right on the beach..

Close but not as close as advertised.

The hotel was nice, but the restaurant is only open for breakfast buffet and they aren’t actually located on the beach like some of the pictures look like. Our front door and bathroom doors didn’t close all the way and the view we had was of the water tanks on the back side of the hotel.
The staff was friendly and check in/out was easy. The pool was small but clean and the chlorine level was not too high.
I have stayed at other hotels on the island and this is the best one with a pool which we needed for our kids and it was a 4min walk to the beach, but you did have to pay for chair rentals.

The hotel is just ok

We stayed in this hotel for three nights and I have to say this hotel might be one of the high end hotels around this beach area. The only I like about this hotel is its location with nearby restaurants and grocery stores. However, I found it quite expensive when comparing the quality of the hotel to the price. Firstly the pool is very small and there are only 8 beds, secondly the breakfast is quite crappy, not a lot of choices and it was not that good, thirdly the room floor was sooo sticky that we had to call for the maid to clean it and it was still very sticky. Last but not least our room smelled like sewage and at the middle of the night the concrete from the second floor in front of our room fell down to the porch area, thanks gods we were not sitting there. But since there are not really a lot of choices there, we might stay here again if we do return to Samed Island....

Resort is located behind another Samed hotel so it is not exactly on the beach. It has a nice setting but the room we were given was quite small and close to where staff hung out when they were on their breaks. The pool is small. The beach is busy and so it may be best to stay at beach further down the coast if looking for a more secluded, relaxing spot.

Nice to walk out property and be on the beach. Right next to Samed villas. Certainly there are better options if you want to pay more and cheaper options as well.

The beach was very nice and quite quiet during the week we were there which was a nice change from Bangkok, I would recommend this family friendly hotel to anybody wanting a quiet beach holiday in Thailand close to Bangkok.

Great Stay - Will come back

We overall enjoyed our stay. We stayed at Roses Suite and it is just perfect for 2 couples. The breakfast is not a feast but is good. The pool is just enough as probably you will be at the beach most of the time. The staff is kind and helpful. We will come back for sure.
However, there is room for improvement. The are no hotel chairs at the beach which mean everyday you will need to rent it. Regarding the room the Roses suite is in the passage way from the hotel to the beach which means that you will hear people passing by. Not really hotel fault for some noisy guests at night. Also for some reason the mosquitos just managed to get inside the room even with all the doors and windows closed. Thankfully none of us was bitten.

Not good for beach time.

This is NOT on the beach. it is set back and you cannot even see the water unless you walk down a ramp. As for beach time, the sand is minimal at best until about 1 pm when there is a decent amount of beach to enjoy. If you want to be on the beach this is not a good area. also if you want the night life this is not a good area.

Decent hotel.

This is a reasonably decent hotel for Koh Samed. The really upscale hotels are on the other side of the island. If you want to stay on this side of the island, close to town, has a good selection of clubs and restaurants, this is a good choice. Property has direct beach access only. Very nice pool. Staff are friendly. My only complaint is the shower. No matter what setting you chose, the water cycles between scalding hot and ice cold every ten seconds.

Not the best resort but it may be the best value

On Samed island there are a lot of resorts that are seriously overpriced. Samed Pacillion is not one of those. Rooms are fairly comfortable and the hotel offers direct access to the beach. If you are looking for a quiet getaway I would recommend the other side of Koh Samed but if you are looking for a scenic beach with a vibrant nightlife then Samed Pavilion is a pretty good choice. It's at the southern end of the liveliest beach.

Friendly staff, but not a place to chill out

My husband and I went to Koh Samet hoping to spend a couple of days relaxing. But we didn't choose the right hotel for this. This hotel doesn't really have a beach front, or any deck chairs for guests to enjoy on the beach. The pool is too small and usually full of kids, so it's too loud. We were also unlucky as we got a basement room, right in front of the pool, so that even in the room we didn't get much peace, and anyway, it was too dark to be in during the day. Having said this, the staff are friendly and the breakfast was good, with a lot of variety. And the bathroom/dressing room was large enough to extend my yoga mat and get away from it all.

Overpriced, poor service.

Nice location, poor service.

I expected a far smaller, more intimate hotel and I expected far better service - there is little Thai hospitality at this resort which is disappointing. Pool is too small, full of noisy children, no comfortable seating anywhere in the hotel.

The hotel breakfast is very poor quality and is served in a boiling hot area with no air-conditioning and flies everywhere.

We booked an overpriced minivan from the hotel to Bangkok's main airport (we paid 1000 baht) through the hotel which proved very frustrating. We were later charged extra for luggage by the unscrupulous tour company the hotel booked the ride with and we were dropped off far from the airport and we had to take, and pay for, an extra taxi to the airport. I am furious that the hotel would treat its guests like this and I would NOT recommend any guest uses the hotel for booking trips etc.

The hotel looks very nice, and is very close to the beach, swimming and scooter rental. But, our lock was broken, and the shower would do hot or cold water only (no warm). The main lobby does not have air conditioning so checking in (and waiting) was a little hot. Their free breakfast did not taste the best, and had flies all over.

Stayed 2 nights at Samed Pavilion, just 5 mins walk from the Ao Phai Beach if you take the speedboat to the beachhead. Room is clean however the A/C is a little noisy and the electric kettle malfunctioned. Staffs are nice, most speak basic English. The breakfast is very good in my opinion which worth again to be mentioned. I booked a speedboat on the day I leave but ended up not showing up on time, the reception helped us call and speak with the boat company and even sent someone to the beachhead to check on us and waited until the speedboat came, very caring and helpful staffs!!!!
