A wonderful scenic resort, away from the hustle & buslte but close enough by taxi. A resort that offers great food, exercise options and nice staff. We wished we had stayed here longer.

Great service, attentive staff. We booked for 4 days but have now extended 2 more. Some free activities to do on site each day. The rooms are large and though the resort is full today, it does not seem crowded. It’s relaxing

Stayed four nights at Mantra Samui and had a wonderful time. The room was very spacious and comfortable, and the facilities were fantastic - great gym, beautiful pool area, lovely restaurant, and a nice onsite spa. While we didn’t find it an overly social place (a lot of couples doing their own thing), it was definitely a great place to unwind, relax, and take in the view. I would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I had the best time at this resort. The high level of service, cleanliness, location, staff and manager made our stay a very remorable experience. The manager took trime to meet us at our dinner table and we had a great conversation. The views are spectaculer and they upgraded us to a suite. It had breathtaking views and would definately stay here again. If you want peace and quiet without kids running around, this is the place to relax. I hated to leave this place. I will definately stay here again when visiting Koh Samui. The infinity pool was also great. Thanks management and staff for making our stay way above what was expected.

The gym is fully equipped with everything needed for a good workout. We will definitely miss the ocean views and infinity pool. Definitely plan on staying here again when we come back to Ko Samui.

We absolutely loved our stay here for our honeymoon. Beautiful location with a stunning sea view. The hotel is on a very steep hill with the pool and restaurant at the top but you can request a buggy from reception to take you up and down. Staff are so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help.

I don’t even know where to start. This place is the most incredible, insanely beautiful place I have ever been. The staff is absolutely top notch. The care they give you is unmatched — it felt like I had the whole place to myself with the way they personalized everything. I’ve never been left completely speechless… until now. Just do it. Don’t even question it or look further — you will not regret it. This place will forever have a special place in my heart, and I plan to fly across the globe to do it all over again in the coming months. It’s a home away from home.

Wow, we had such a great experience staying here. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and get the most out of our stay. The restaurant was fantastic and the pool offered amazing views. The gym was the best equipped that we had in our whole Thailand trip, they have all the equipment that you need to have a good workout. The resort itself is located up on a hill a little ways so it offers a nice quiet environment. The rooms were very clean and also offered amazing views and ice cold a/c. This is a great resort for couples wanting to stay somewhere away from the buzyness but yet still close enough to town to enjoy everything that koh samui has to offer. I highly recommend this resort.

Mantra Samui Resort is clean, quiet, and safe. It is located \"on the hill\" as locals call it, as opposed to being on the main strip in town. Be prepared to either rent a taxi, moped, or ride a resort shuttle to get to town. The resort shuttle has a schedule that is available at the lobby and accessible by QR code. The QR code ia located in the room, or un the lobby. The staff speak minimal English, but google translate can be helpful. Staff take you to your building by golf cart and are very helpful. The resort restaurant features mostly bland, European/American style foods. The restaurant staff have room for improvement. If you have a scheduled activity, don't wait for the restaurant staff to provide your check. Call them over and request it. They don't attend to the guests often. There are exercise classes included in the resort price that occur different times throughout the day. There is also an infinity pool, a spa, and a work center. The view is amazing. Overall, great stay!

Service was ok, some staff were friendly, others not friendly nor helpful. The hotel is on a very steep hill and access to the rooms was a little bit of a workout, but provided privacy and breathtaking views from wherever you were. The bed was not very comfortable but the rooms were very spacious, beautiful, private (no walls shared between other rooms) and balcony was very nice. The vibe was very relaxing, the food was excellent, including vegan options upon advance request.

The property is very nice and the staff is great. The room was massive and comfortable but the bed was honestly shockingly firm. Almost like sleeping on the floor.
The pool is lovely and the food is great with a view to die for. While the spa service is good, I have a difficult time justifying the 10x mark up from what you would get in town. The remote location makes it difficult to explore on foot. From what I could tell, I was the only tourist crazy enough to do that in a while.
All in all a very nice place but people should be aware of what they are getting. A fairly remote location and an atmosphere that isn't particularly social.

Our stay at this resort in Koh Samui was truly unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional service and amazing staff. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. Every staff member was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. Their warmth and dedication made all the difference in our experience.

All the services were top-notch, from the fantastic breakfast to the stunning pool and breathtaking views. The resort is nestled up in the mountains, making it a peaceful retreat, but getting in and out requires either renting a motorbike or calling a Grab. The climb up and down is quite steep, though the resort provides golf cart pickups, which helps a lot.

A special mention to the team for their incredible support when we had a motorbike accident—they were beyond helpful and went out of their way to assist us, even accommodating our extended stay. Their kindness and care during a stressful time meant so much to us.

If you’re looking for a place with outstanding service, a serene atmosphere, and a team that truly cares, this resort is a perfect choice!

STAY HERE! The Hotel is pure luxury. The setting, the rooms, THE VIEW!
The staff are like family, efficient, helpful & proactive. The Restaurant food is delicious, from Thai to wood fired Pizza. Without doubt it has the best view of any restaurant i've eaten in, beats the Splendido in Portofino.
The reception will hire you a scooter for 300 baht per day.
Airport transfer is 600 baht. Worth it.
The gym is larger than the website shows, it's very well equiped.
Finally, the infinity pool, combined with the view & you can swim up to the bar.
Perfect Hotel.

I loved my stay at this location. From the airport pick up, greeting at the hotel and to the very end (which felt bittersweet by that point lol) it was fantastic. Quiet, clean, great views, lovely restaurant. My room (love ocean view) was wonderful. I took advantage of the spa, which was great as well. Staff are very helpful, kind, and professional. It is far up on the hill, shuttle services are available daily to take you to several stops in town and by the beach. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway this is the place for you.

We really enjoyed Mantra Resort for the brief time we were there. The rooms/amenities were great and offer incredible views. A bit of a bummer our room wasn't ready at check-in after a day of travel but not the end of the world.

If you've got notable height or motion sickness issues, the hills and need for golf cart transport should be a consideration. Otherwise wonderful staying somewhere without kiddos with such a beautiful atmosphere.

The hotel was breathtaking, however I didn’t enjoy that it was a separate unit across the street. Staffs were extremely kind and helpful. The only thing that scared us was the unexpected room service knocking. But I think it’s common for room service. I just prefer not to have room service. But overall the hotel and beach was amazing.

A beautiful resort within the hills / forest, set away from the main road and is only really accessible via taxi or the hotel shuttle bus (or scooter). We were on a budget & made use of the twice free daily shuttle to go to fisherman’s village and made sure we had drinks/snacks etc for when we wanted to spend the day relaxing on the resort (at the amazing pool and on our balcony with stunning views). There are twice weekly yoga classes and a new wellness programme. My husband and I did a mindfulness / positive thought session with Dean in guest relations and it was great, relaxing and in spirit with the beautiful surroundings. Breakfast is amazing with such a good range of options, both a buffet of pastries, breads, fruit, Thai soup and rice and fabulous juices plus made to order various breakfast meals. However I was really disappointed in the lack of vegetarian options for the rest of the menu once breakfast stopped. We shared a pizza and it wasn’t good, nachos and a vege burger were other options, I wish there’d been more vege inspiration. Prices for drinks and food were about 3 times above our budget (and treatments compared to the main road) but wine options were great which was a rare find in our three weeks in Thailand, much appreciated. Beautiful 3 night stay.

We stayed for 4 nights- it’s definitely remote - incredible views from pool and restaurant- food was decent- drinks excellent-strawberry daiquiri at happy hour is a must! - very attentive staff - the spa women were lovely - it was a little too remote for us- next time we would likely stay closer to town and the ocean - we had ocean view suite and the second bed was a day bed that had a very thin mattress- I let the staff know the next morning (didn’t sleep- like sleeping on cement pad) and they immediately brought 2 bed toppers which improved things significantly - they use bamboo charcoal shampoo and bath supplies which were divine - pool was great- chairs and towels readily available and poolside drink service - if you are looking for a quiet get away - a romantic getaway- or a great work space this would be a perfect pick for you - the drive is super steep so not the next for people with mobility issues - they have a golf cart to drive people around when needed - but the few times we walked down to lobby it was defiantly very steep

Back in 2014, I stayed at this hotel with fond memories. Unfortunately, this time in 2023 it was bad. The room had a great view, but the water temperature was either too hot or too cold, the door lock was faulty - the wind literally blew the door open. The breakfast wasn’t good and the staff at the restaurant didn’t give a friendly/welcoming vibe, but what made things worse was that my mom found an iron wire in the fried rice which was dangerous. The manager’s response was slow and in the end he did offer us free transportation to and from the airport. If you have to go for this hotel, don’t take their breakfast.

This resort has been one of the best that I have seen and experienced. The views are breathtaking as it is located on top of a mountain overlooking the ocean. The hotel also can arrange for you to go to the beach. I recommend the fisherman village beach.
The staff is the most professional that I have seen. Khun Mod, the front desk manager goes out of her way to provide a first-class service to the guest. She is always smiling, friendly and helpful with paying attention to detail. Tony is the best chef ever. You must try his cooking. The lady giving massage is the most professional masseur. Khun Prod, Khun Ann, and all other staff that I can't remember the names make your stay to be just first class and wonderful.
The hotel rooms are huge and you will find everything you need. The television set in my room was a smart tv set which means that I could project my mobile phone on it and enjoy the regular programming that I use on my phone.
And the pool? Infinity and ocean view. I loved swimming there.
It is a true 5-star resort. You will not regret staying in this resort.

We have stayed at the Mantra three times before the refurbishment and I can only say it has backwards. The staff used to be so friendly and helpful. We received Zero recognition on loyalty. The language barrier seems to be harder now with staff unable to understand. Thai people are traditionally very welcoming and warm. I never felt that with the staff at Mantra.

Laziness at breakfast with staff talking to each other instead of serving coffee and tea. Breakfast was like ground hog day. The same thing every single day. The options are so basic.

We paid for a love suite which sits high on the price list. Access was down a damp corridor and several flights of tiny stairs. The room smelt of damp but was spacious and modern. All of the previous owners charm and design has gone. I have some issues about not being able to lock the doors.

Transfers between the main areas used to be free at the designated times. This is now charged and on par with taxi prices. However, the hotel will not call a taxi for you. The closest road for flagging a taxi is a 15 minute walk away. The hotel offered to take us to the main road for a fee.
The hospitality focus has gone. Its a money grab now with no smile.

Even when we checked out. No one helped with baggage to the airport transfer. Three members of staff stood talking.

I'm sorry to say that we won't be back. If I had been able to cancel my booking during the trip I would have.

Great hotel! The pool is beautiful, the rooms are huge and have a cool modern vibe. The staff was friendly and the gym was nice with a wide variety of machines. The breakfast is good, the selection isn’t huge but it is definitely a good meal. The view from the breakfast area and the hotel is AMAZING! The location of the hotel is good and bad at the same time. You have to take a taxi everywhere because it’s really secluded but that’s what makes the hotel so quite and relaxing. The only area that’s very close to the hotel is Fisherman’s village... overall- 8.5 out of 10. Highly recommended!

I expected more for what I paid.

We are a family of 4, and I picked the ocean view suite to accommodate the whole family (with two kids aged 10 and 12). Unfortunately, there was a bug in the queen bed (my kids slept in it) and then a spider in the bathroom. The king bed was way too hard. Pillows were so high and uncomfortable. My husband and I felt that this was actually one of the worst beds we’ve had for a in a hotel for long time, and the pillows made it worse. Breakfast choices were so little - only pork and rice for savoury options. Bread was not great either. Rather disappointing.

Fine resort in Koh Samui

Great facilities, beautiful views and amazing service.
Hotel offers great breakfast, large rooms, fully equipped gym and a marvoules infinity pool.

The only thing to take in considiation that it is on a top of a hill, therefore, getting in and out of the resort will always require a taxi (unless you have time and you are adventuress )
