Good location, average service (staff has great attitude but for example coffee at breakfast comes very late and cold, so a coffee staion might help). The beach and sea were the biggest disappointment. We chose this hotel largely based on the positive beach reviews, but during our stay the weather created very large waves and it was impossible to swim at all. I wanted to mention this so future guests are aware that the sea conditions may not always match the expectations created by some of the reviews.

The food was also average. For instance, we ordered Pad Thai on the beach and the noodles were overcooked and clumped together like a cake.

Wonderful breakfasts. If you can, select a room with valet service. Tik was amazing and the manager most helpful. NB no elevators to higher (full ocean view) rooms. The spa was lovely for facials. The main restaurant for dinner was outstanding and we even received a note from the chef. All the staff were lovely and couldn't be any nicer to their guests. Hope to go back

The property is well maintained and overall clean and tidy. The beach is a private section of beach, shared with a few other hotels, which is also nice however the sand is pretty rough on the the feet (nothing the Hotel can do about that).
The staff are very polite and accommodating, big shout out to Max & Zidan from the beach bar/ Panali restaurant; extremely friendly and very helpful!

The room, which we had was a Premium Ocean Pool Suite (room 222), was very well maintained and looked after with a beautiful view of the Ocean, albeit it there was another row of suites in front but not obstructing the view.

All in all it was a very nice hotel and one that I would visit again should I return to Koh Samui.

This place is EXCELLENT! Food is top notch. Rooms are beautiful. Service is amazing. The beach is very good and free of garbage like at other places.
If you want to be near nightlife this isn’t the place for you. There isn’t much near the resort at all. But if you’re looking for a romantic getaway it’s the best

This resort is wonderful! The food is absolutely fabulous. We were there for four nights in off-season and it was quiet and romantic. This is not a party type place-at least when we were there. The staff is so warm and friendly and always smile. They had a party by the pool with great snacks and free drinks and very comfortable atmosphere. I would come back here. There's not much around the resort in terms of shopping or anything so if you want to be in the middle of the action this is not the right place. But if you want a romantic getaway without booming Eurobeats this is it

Our butler Pum was always so helpful and friendly. One night she surprised us with a bubble bath and champagne. I was so blown away with this thoughtful gesture! On Valentine's day the resort offered a special dinner on the beach which was an unforgettable experience! Furthermore, the food at the resort was always delicious. We especially loved breakfast.

For a luxury marriott hotel, I thought the property could have been better. The food was not great, limited options, expensive and not very good. The service was also only mediocre.

Fantastic service - all staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Large rooms with private pools and a vast range of amenities. Very generous breakfast buffet and treats throughout the day. Great buggy service. Lovely beach and modern pool. The only thing I could potentially criticise is that I would have expected the rates to be slightly lower in light of the many available rooms (low season) - having said that, we had an absolutely fantastic time.

Outstanding Hotel

Beautiful hotel with great staff, very reminiscent of the Datai in Langkowi (but without the wildlife). The beach is semi-private because it is on Chaweng Noi, which is cut off from the main Chaweng beachfront, and the hotel stands out when compared to the competition in the area. It is close enough to the main town to be easily accessible but far enough away to avoid the noise. Lovely experience all round.

First the good news: Lovely property (5-6 years old), but well maintained with lush, well-manicured gardens and trails or buggy service all-around resort. The beach here is absolutely superb. Smooth, fine sand and gentle waters. THE BEST beach I have enjoyed in some time. Lovely SPA where I had a very good massage with Dao. Breakfast service is very nice, both buffet and ala carte of high quality and cheerful staff. Complimentary tea time is nice. Very nice pool and pool staff. Less than perfect: skip the pool snacks as they are over priced and not so good, soggy french fries, wimpy sandwiches, etc. Very disappointing Italian restaurant on the beach overpriced for quality. At these prices you must have an Italian chef! Need a few moderately priced Chef's specials and bottles of wine on offer. Left resort for dinner next three nights. Did not try the Thai restaurant as it is in same spot as breakfast and that becomes a bit boring after 4 days. One big tip to savvy housekeeping directors everywhere...TURN THE MATTRESS PERIODICALLY. While the linens and pillow menu were excellent, our mattress suffered from dreadfully sagging middle due to never being rotated. Flip those mattress and your guests will ave a better sleep and no backache in the morning. After all, attention to such details is what LUXURY is about, especially if it is called out in your name!
Overall, nice property, excellent beach and cheerful staff. Thanks to Kelley for warm welcome and departure.

Friendly staff, attentive and thoughtful services

I was impressed by the friendly staff and felt that they are happy to do extra things/ tell you extra info to make your stay happier and easier. For example, the staff member who helped me with check-in used his personal mobile phone to call my local Thailand mobile number because I had some trouble setting up the local mobile number. Also on the last day of my stay, I went to the beach to swim after I checked out and they were kind enough to let me use the shower room at the spa to refresh myself.

Great location and fantastic

I spent three nights at Vana Belle and Koh Samui and wehad a wonderful time. The staff are very friendly and helpful and attentative.

The hotel that I did use were great although I did not had a chance to try the gym or the spa due to the short stay with a packed schedule.

Breakfast is great with good range of food from the all you can eat a la carte menu and a good variety of fruit, juices, bakery and pastry to choose from.

I did swim both in the pool and on the beach every morning and the water is fantastic. And this is from a person who lives next to one of the best beaches in Sydney.

I did also watch the sunrise every morning which is highly recommended.

All and all, a great hotel, with friendly and attentively staff, I would definitely to everyone and would love to go back there again.

We had a standard room and were extremely happy with the size and comfort. Having your own private plunge pool was a great addition. The resort was extremely quiet during our stay which was surprising given the great beach location. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful, although service in the restaurants could be better. The main restaurant which specialises in Thai food was great, however the Italian restaurant meals were a bit lacklustre.

Beautiful Elegant Hotel on the beach

We were very happy with our experience at the Vana Belle as it offered us exactly what we needed: rest in relaxing (and luxurious) atmosphere after crossing the ocean. The hotel has a very elegant architecture, very understated, as I would expect in such a country as Thailand (and this is not the case in general). We were a little disappointed by the service which should have been more consistent. They offered everything the first day - ice in the room, change of pool towels, recipes for cocktails, water on you night table, etc. - and then it went down (a little less everyday). We would like to get an explanation on this one. It is luxury or it is not.

Amazing hotel but had food issues

This is a great hotel and I can recommend it highly. We had a number of issues during our stay, and the staff were fantastic in the way they looked after us. Some restaurant staff did not know what 'dairy free' means even after we told them we could not have milk, butter, cream or cheese - we were still served dairy and my daughter was sick as a result. We spoke to one of the managers about it - Sanny and Tiger were great in the way they dealt with it and they got us the information we needed about ingredients in their food. They developed a gluten free menu for us in both restaurants as well. On an unrelated issue, my wife required 4 trips to the hospital (very close) for an allergic reaction. The staff gave us an amazing level of care in making sure my wife got to the hospital and checking up on her condition afterwards. Overall the staff were very caring and attentive and did everything they could to look after us. It's a beautiful resort, the facilities are amazing and the location and view is spectacular.

Not up to expectation

Stayed four nights in late April. It has a nice luxurious setting. I checked in a ground floor room but got waken up by the noise of hotel renovation. After complaint, the manager changed me to a top floor room which has a better sea view but quite some stairs to climb. Beach is OK but not exactly white sandy. Sea water is average clear. Considering you are in Thailand, great Thai food is expected. But unfortunately thai restaurant doesn't deliver top tasty Thai cuisine. Service in general is good. But some staffs only offer good service at the cost of tips. Room is comfortable. At a little cost, hotel can arrange a transfer to the downtown shopping mall and restaurant in other hotel.

Few negative points:
- the restaurant menus are a bit limited and the prices are way too high for the quality
- not enough beach chairs and umbrella available which means that if you arrive at the beach after 10:30am, you wont be able to benefit of the hotel infrastructures.

Best Hotel Ever

We came to Koh Samui for the last part of our one year anniversary trip and wanted to stay at a place that was relaxing and by the beach. This hotel over exceeded our expectations on many different levels. We have never had such an amazing experience and will be going back to stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived our personal concierge escorted us in and from that moment we were in love. Her name is Shima and she made sure that our stay was perfect. Her customer service and professionalism was outstanding. Shima and the staff were all very detailed and noted the items we liked such as drinks, food , etc. they made sure we were treated with the best service.

Idealic beach holiday

Had a really relaxing holiday due to spending the majority of the time in the hotel.
There was a mix up with our rooms on arrival but this was Expedia's fault, advertising the wrong class room. Vana Belle managed to put this right the following day. Would have been put out if it wasn't rectified but under the manager's discretion it was.
Special mentions to Mam with her impressive yoga skills and cheerful disposition. Jay, who was super knowledgeable on all aspects of attractions, from where to eat and where to shop. Great guy!!! Bella, our lovely waitress who put a smile on my face with everything that she said. Finally all of the spa staff. The spa is something special anyway. Great treatments and beautiful facilities but all of the therapists and manager, I was beyond impressed with, especially putting up with my quirky Dad and laughing at all of his jokes.
The only criticism I could possibly make is, for such a luxury hotel, I would like to have had better sun loungers. The only down fall.
On a final note, thank you very much to The Vana Belle for such a lovely stay. Your staff go above and beyond and all of their natures made me want to be cheery every day.

We travel quite extensively in Asia and around the world and were looking forward to a quiet and peaceful stay with a bit of pampering. The room has an awkward tunnel feel with rather dull earth colors, and no accessories to lift the overall mood, the room pool is a large jacuzzi and the main pool doesn't offer enough space to swim comfortably. The service is sub par for an hotel of this category, be it in room-dining or restaurants. The gym and spa are world class however. The prices are comparable to what you would expect to pay at other similar hotels on the island, but for an hotel whose soft opening was over 2 years, the overall package is unacceptable. If you want a peaceful experience with a proper pool villa great service and salivating food, Six Senses Samui will deliver a much better experience.

Wonderful experience

Stayed here for three nights and enjoyed every moment from the lovely welcome to the amazing setting. The reception area over looks the beach and is just stunning. We stayed in the most basic room but this was spacious and modern with a big balcony with our own plunge pool. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful at all times. The area around the pool is beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the Vana Spa and had two treatments there. Two nights a week they have a BBQ buffet by the beach and this was delicious. We ate at Kiree, the Thai restaurant, which was nice but possibly more suited to a Western palate. Overall, an absolutely wonderful experience.

Vana Belle accommodation

6 Star hotel!!!
Friendly, polite & helpful staff. Mike was great, every recommendation he made for restaurants was amazing.
The rooms were beautiful & clean. Amazing view from our room. Free bottles of water provided daily (x6). Our stay included breakfast which was buffet + order from the menu. Dinner at the hotel was amazing! One of the best Tom yum soups we've ever had!
The english barrier wasn't a problem....they all spoke good english.
Their signature cocktail was amazing, I could drink them all day!

Best accommodation we've stayed in soo far & would DEFINATELY recommend & stay there again!

Amazing experience

Everything was perfect from the second we stepped onto the island. The hotel driver was waiting for us with cold water bottles and towels. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Probably the best service I've ever had at any hotel. The room was nice, with an amazing view to wake up to every morning. Some hotels on the island are located on rocky beaches, but the water here was very clear. Probably one of the nicest beaches on the island. My wife and I visited the spa and it was great. I suggest you visit spa, you won't be disappointed. The hotel is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, then it is definitely a must visit. Oh, and the food was great; most delicious food I've had in Thailand.

Fantastic Beach Side Luxury Resort

I have to say the team at Vana Belle were absolutely excellent. First class, attentive service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Each member of staff greets you with a smile every time and when you need anything during your stay, just ask.
We stayed in a premier pool suite and were very happy with the room, the view was unbelievable. The pool area has direct beach access and is monitored by security 24/7. The grounds are very well looked after and we highly recommend the spa treatments, even if they are on the pricey side!

Great Holiday and fantastic hotel

We had a great time at the Vana Belle. It was a long overdue Anniversary present and we ate well slept great and had a fantastic time.

The view and facilities were great, the food was good. We had a couple of little service issues which could have been put down to a language gap (on my part in particular), however we had some really good anticipatory service where they predicted what we might want and it was there for us.

Overall we would definitely recommend it and would certainly return to it if we go to Koh Samui again.

Thai Tranquility

Excellent new beachfront resort with very attractive and expertly-designed rooms. The beach, Chaweng Noi, is clean and lovely and has a good surf for splashing around. Pool and beachside lounge areas have an appealing layout. Breakfast is stellar, lunch and dinner offerings are decent, but could be improved. The massage at the spa is pricey but good quality. Fitness centre is clean and modern, but lacks equipment for lower body exercises. A squat rack and barbell is needed. Service is extremely friendly and helpful. Conveniently located for restaurants, a yoga retreat and Muay Thai gym.

Beauty by the beach

Our room was superbly designed and very comfortable. Facilities are modern and high quality. Beach is clean and attractive with heavy surf, suitable for bobbing in the waves but not swimming. Food is decent but wait staff have limited English and have trouble with orders that deviate from the menu. Gym is modern and relatively well equipped, but lacks a squat rack. Massage services are very good quality. Overall a lovely resort.

Chic understated luxury on beautiful beach

Have just spent a week in a tropical pool villa at this new resort. It is a truly 5 star experience. A personal butler attends to your every need (Max: you were outstanding). The food is excellent: beginning with a historic breakfast including oysters and champagne. The staff are delightful and attentive, the facilities excellent, the setting beautiful. It is more accessible and has better food than Banyan Tree and the beach is beautiful. The nicest villa we have found (we have stayed in perhaps 8 resorts in Samui). I recommend Vana Belle wholeheartedly and will be sure to return next year.

Wish we stayed longer

Look no further... Have been to Koh Samui a number of times and prefer to stay on the East coast (much better beaches). Chaweng is great for restaurants, bars, nightlife, but its good to stay just outside of the bustle. This is where Vana Belle ticks all the boxes. Amazing hotel, incredible ocean views, beautiful pool area, excellent staff/service on by far the best beach in Koh Samui, Chaweng Noi (Little Chaweng), just around the corner from Chaweng on the southern end. Do you self a favour and don't waste any more time looking.

Great place to unwind

It was our first visit to Koh Samui. This resort is quite new (just over a year old) and has everything you would want for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The facilities and service are first class. It also has the benefit of being located on one of the best beaches on Koh Samui. It's not a private beach, but very usable and not at all busy. Great pool, fitness centre. Couple of good food options at the resort but plenty of other good restaurants nearby.

Nice romantic hotel

Very nice hotel, not very large, so not crowded at all. Great breakfasts!
Very nice beach, although we were not lucky with the weather - was pretty windy, so the sea was not calm.
Staff very polite, trained and considerate.
Spa supposedly also nice, but looked too expensive - three times the prices of the best spa around. So we traveled.
