Mixed Experience at Malibu Resort Koh Samui
The location of Malibu Resort is excellent – it’s right on the beach and directly across from the Koh Samui city center shopping mall. This makes it very convenient for shopping, dining, and exploring the area. The beach itself is great for swimming, and several good restaurants and attractions are within walking distance.
The rooms, however, are quite basic. While there is hot water and a balcony to relax on, the TV lacks Netflix or YouTube, so it’s not ideal if you’re looking for entertainment. That said, the rooms are functional and can serve well as a crash pad for those who just need a place to rest and unwind.
A word of caution: be wary of the water jet scooter providers operating right on the beach in front of Malibu. We had a very unpleasant encounter with them. After inadvertently parking the scooter on the wrong section of the beach (which we weren’t informed about), they were extremely aggressive and shouted at us, ruining the mood of the day. Unfortunately, the resort staff had no affiliation with these vendors and couldn’t offer any assistance.
It was a disappointing experience, especially since we were just trying to enjoy the day. I hope the resort management takes note of this and finds a way to ensure better interactions between guests and these third-party vendors.
Overall, Malibu is a good spot if you’re looking for a convenient location with access to the beach and nearby amenities.
