Top Koh Samui Hotel Reviews

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here a couple of times with family. Plunge pool rooms are perfect for quiet moments and private time. Aircon is fantastic and rooms are spotless. Hotel is rustic and a little dated but this adds to its charm and laid back feel. Fantastic location, on the beach. An easy stroll in to the brighter lights of Chaweng beach road and a nice, safe walk back to the hotel, along the beach with its many bars and clubs. Facilities and staff are great. Pools and areas are well staffed and clean. Not a shiny, polished 5star by any means but that’s not what Samui is about."

Explorar Koh Samui – Adults Only Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had the loveliest stay at Explorar. The food, staff, beach, accommodations and building is incredible. The only feedback is to inquire guest preferences (smoking or non). We were given the only ocean front room with a partial balcony, and spent every single day out ok the balcony so that was unfortunate, but the kicker was that The smoking area was right below us. We are two very health conscious non-smokers, who religiously use the gym and take care of ourselves. It was too bad to have such a small balcony for people that used it and have to breath in heavy amounts of smoke almowt every use. Two unfortunate things that are very easily fixable imo. Just inquire to guests if they’re non-smoking and make sure their room is away from the designated smoking space. Otherwise absolutely amazing stay. Minn was incredible!"
