Pretty red pool. Great food and drinks. The surrounding areas are a bit tired and dirty. Rooms are a clean with a fresh style. Worth a stay if you want something a little less Thai like. This is more European vibe.

Das war unsere 3 Station von Thailand. Wir wollten nicht weg. Als wir abgereist sind in den Norden von ko samui,… wir kamen jeden Tag nach Chaweng zurück. Natürlich ist es Geschmacksache aber vom Strand bis hin zur Lage, stimmte hier einfach für uns persönlich alles. Wenn wir wieder nach Thailand reisen, dann zu 100% the Library. Die Villen selbst waren makellos sauber und bestens ausgestattet – es fehlte uns an nichts.. Unser Fazit: Von der Lage über die Unterkunft bis hin zur Herzlichkeit des Teams – für uns war es eine glatte 10 von 10.

100% satisfied

Svært bra hotell. Fine, rene rom. Store rom med stort bad. Frokosten er a la carte, hvor man bestiller fra meny. Det var et bredt utvalg av Thai og vestlige retter, samt varme og kalde drikker. Betjeningen fremsto som profesjonelle, oppmerksomme og behjelpelige til en hver tid. Vil også trekke frem hotellets manager sin profesjonelle væremåte og evne til å strekke seg langt for gjestenes velvære. At dette er det beste, eller et av de beste hotellene på Koh Samui er det ingen tvil om

Excellent hotel, in the heart of chweng beach road, but you wouldnt know it once you were inside. Stayed in a hidden pool villa, which was amazing. Restaurant/Bar very good. Small beach and two pools which were also excellent.

Calme et chic

Un oasis de calme et de bon goût dans un Chaweng de plus en plus délirant Propreté parfaite, salle de sport bien équipée, très bon service, spa de qualité. Plus cher que d’autres hôtels classés 5 étoiles, mais complètement justifié par la qualité des prestations.

4th time staying here so that gives an indication of what I think. Rooms are large and clean and going undergoing some minor refitting. Staff are incredible, very friendly and helpful and even remembered things from my last stay. Beach is amazing too. Great for couples. Not so much for families. Can’t recommend more!
