About the hotel:
The cottages and location are lovely. The quality of the food is not so good, and is overpriced. I was surprised that we were charged 1200 baht extra each evening for Chinese New Year, and yet the accommodations were not full, nor did the hotel put any entertainment on for this holiday. The spa is lovely.
About the reservation service:
Very easy, good communication

About the hotel:
Die beste Hotelanlage die ich kenne. Der Service einfach perfekt. Der Strand sauber und mehrmals am Tage gereinigt. War jetzt das dritte Mal mit Freunden hier, auch sie waren begeistert. Unser Bungalow war etwas versteckt, somit hatten wir keinen Meerblick wie es in den Prospekten und Homepage für jedes Bungalow garantiert wird. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist gut. Wir kommen wieder.
About the reservation service:
Meinem Wunsch zwei Bungalows neben einander zu haben wurde nicht entsprochen.

About the hotel:
Very peaceful and comfortable hotel. The Ao Prao side (west) of Ko Samed is the place for a quiet relaxing break and is in complete contrast to the much busier, dirtier & noisier Sai Kiew side. Only go there if you are looking for a Pattaya style break!
A map of how to find the right boat pier in Ban Phe would be good. We got lost and had to take a private charter boat.
About the reservation service:
i would have preferred to speak to someone and get some detail of what room types were available. Room was ok but that was more through good luck i think.

About the hotel:
I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The location is beautiful, the room outstanding - private balcony - view on the sea. All the staff were brilliant. I cant see how they can improve on what they have done there.
Only one minor thing - their restaurant only serves Italian food, not something we came to Thailand for ... but there are a couple of great restaurants that serve great Thai seafood just a lazy stroll down the beach from where we were.
Getting to and from the more build up and busy part of the island is a 10 min ride on taxis that are always on standby. You could also rent a motorcycle or even better, an ATV (four wheels) which are great fun for getting around on bumpy dirt roads.
Over all the island is great and well managed and has all the activities you could want. You are never harassed by people trying to sell you things you don t want. It still has a sleepy undeveloped charm to it. There is a mix of backpackers, couples, honeymooners and young families with kids. All good clean relaxing fun.
We will definitely be going back!
About the reservation service:
Fast reliable booking. We extended our stay by one day at the last minute - and they gave us the same rate.

About the hotel:
A lovely hotel on a lovely beach.
Perfect to have a quite and soft time for relax. If you like more action its just to take a car about 10 minutes and you have it. The hotel is very nice and location can not be better. Its a bit expansive to eat and drink at the hotel and what we could see the most of the guests eat at the hotel next to Le vimarn or take the car to the village.
I love that we can have the untouched nature and if we want - the action is just a few minutes away.
Very peaceful and beautiful.
I love it

About the hotel:
The hotel room was very good, the beach was fine,snorkelling was poor as the water was rather dirty(in fact it stings your skin when you are snorkelling), and the service of the personnel at the pier was downright lousy. I booked a speedboat from Buddy Tours (NOTE:don t book from them, they are tourist suckers!!!), paid a premium (even though i managed to negotiate till 45% lower than their initial offered price) but was given super POOR service. The speedboat took 15mins but i had to travel by land to the main pier(was promised to embark direct from Le Vimarn)and wait for hours in the end. Normally from Koh Samed to BKK, it will probably take 3-3.5hours in total, but that day i took 8hours!!!
Because of this, i will never set foot onto Koh Samed again, the worst experience i ever had from travelling! Will strongly suggest tourists not to go there unless you have some locals with you. Even places like Hua Hin(for nearby BKK locations), or in the Philippines (for better beaches and cleaner water) will be much more worth visiting.

Good hotel and we had a beautiful decorated room and a comfy bed.

The breakfast could be a little bit better though (more choices) for such an expensive hotel.
