    1. Stinky bathroom every day from leaking plumbing. Smelt like toilet every day. Floor from plumbing leak, was always wet. We requested it be fixed but never was. 2. Entry to hotel was concealed from the street and was a series of either ramps or steps to get to reception or our room. Not easy with suitcases. 3. No daily room water or breakfast included, which, considering the room cost, was very poor. 4. No room service. 5. The beach bar, food and restaurant service were slow at best. Can't imagine how slow it would have been if the venue was busy. 6. Restaurant food and beach bar drink prices were high compared to other venues. We switched to another lovely venue where all prices are more realistic. 7. On one night, we couldn't purchase wine by the glass at the beach restaurant.. As a result, we had to buy expensive bottled wine. 8. Room cleaning was fine, but little extras like soap and earbuds were not always provided. Needing us to request them some times. That shouldn't happen when charging prices as they did. 9. No hot water in the kitchen sink or bathroom hand basin. Not hygienic. Shower hot water flow was poor. 10. The venue is very tired. Gutters rusted allowing rain downpours to flood paths. Doors sliding rails and locking systems were corroded, making them hard to secure. In all, we wouldn't recommend a stay here. Never again for us, and we don't mark venues down unless they are well below standard.

    We picked a luxury villa which was near the pool and beach, so our location was fine. But see what we didn't like comments. The room size was excellent, but, again, see dislike comments. The live entertainment on most nights was good, as was the nightly beach fire show.

    I hated the trance, drum and bass that's pumped out onto the beach at 110db every day's. It's too loud by far and there target audience for this music is at the green mango nightclub. A pointless endeavour that only annoys and spoils the day.

    The location is great as are the staff. The food in the restaurant is actually very good and served with a smile. Front staff are helpful.

    The breakfast options were poor. Sometimes the same offerings were there the next day. Not really catering for English/Irish customers who like a fry up in the morning

    The location was great and being located on the better part of the beach was fantastic.

    If this resort had a gym it would be excellent. The hot water heater struggled to keep up with shower. Slight plumbing leak on toilet(inlet clean water not sewage) in room 214.

    Best location near the mall and main road. Food and drinks ok pricing and air conditioner could really work.

    Room 108: 1. noise from planes flying overhead starts at 7ish to 8ish in the morning. 2. sound insulation in the room is poor. can hear convos from next door. 3. hard for ride hailing drivers and food delivery riders to find hotel. 4. shower and tap water pressure was erratic. 5. lost water supply for about 2 hours on one occasion. 6. mosquitoes at the porch area constantly so you won't be outdoors much. 7. safe deposit box wasn't working and had to be removed from the room with no replacement given.

    Room 108: 1. beach lietrally just a minute away. 2. no noise from nearby clubs and bars. 3. low price during off season. 4. staff are friendly and helpful. 5. many food options within walking distance. 6. 5 minutes to central samui mall. 7. aircon was fast acting and powerful. 8. a great porch area to sit amd relax outdoors.

    Booked for 5 people (Cost more than our group of 4 friends travelling with us) But we had exactly the same rooms as them. No extra bed, no extra towels. When discussing with the staff they said it was booking.com fault and I need to contact them o ask what I paid extra for. I then had to pay extra to get a bed for the extra person I had already paid extra for. Rooms are very basic.

    Location, lovely beachfront hotel close to busy strip. Lovely food.

    The property is a bit worn down, but not to the extent that it mattered a lot. Water pressure is shifting a bit, water temperature was nice all the way around. The property has two pools, an inner courtyard pool, and a pool closer to the beach. Both seems to be extremely good, and well used. As the property is directly on the beach we spent some time there. The beach is nice and clean, the sand is extremely fine, and the water temperature is amazing. Even at 8 am in the morning, water temperature is close to 30°C, which is very pleasant. They are breakfast buffet with our stay, which is a well equipped continental breakfast with everything that you need. Different Thai dishes every morning, as well as cereals, fruits, breads, and other types of breakfast options. Furthermore, you can have your ex cooked in any way you want as the chef will prepare it for you. The breakfast restaurant is located directly at the beach, which just gives this extra value as you have an amazing view while eating your breakfast. The property is about hundred to 200 meters away from the main road, and they are no direct noise from the streets. The streets are busy, with restaurants, tourists, and all the shopping facilities you may like. The area is amazing as you have a lot of life with all the possibility that offers. Overall, a very good experience, and an amazing place.

    Booked two room types, the most expensive room we booked wasn't even the nicest. Was put in a interconnecting room with a family split either side and they were quite noisy moving between rooms all night. Asked the reception to see if we could move rooms after the first night, reception was unhelpful and told us to come back at 2pm for them to only turn around after waiting all day and say it wasn't possible. Room had no hot water either.

    Good location, everything you need is close.

    Great location, close to Samui Central and surrounding by restaurants, bars shops and airport but quite compare to other hotel near by (with beach club parties) .the resort located next to the beach and nice swimming pool here. The rooms are comfortable and clean. All the hotel staffs are kind and helpful. Especially the receptionists . (The all black woman who is there all the time ❤️) They help us with early check in and took care of our luggage when we are waiting to the taxi to get pick up. Thank you so much Al’s Resort🙏🏼💕
