Koh Samui Islands Holidays

The bathroom was beautiful. One of my favourite resorts.

We had a wonderful time in the Celes Samui. Our room was very spacious and well equipped. Free complementary soft drinks daily and a great choice at the breakfast buffet too. The staff were very helpful and kind. The hotel is located not far from the Fisherman’s village and it is walkable. We never used the pool as there were only limited spaces in the shade but they looked nice.

If you are looking for a private and quiet stay away, this is definitely a great choice. As the main restaurant was closed for renovations, we were limited to the two restaurants. The menu catered to both western and thai offerings, but one may feel that there was not much variety if one was planning to have all meals within the resort (eg. breakfast menu was exactly the same for all days we were there). Room was very comfortable and clean. The tub in the room offered some alternative activity on a slightly rainy day when the pool is not available. Small touches were appreciated - turn down services included local snacks which we got to try, celebratory gestures to celebrate anniversary and a birthday (eg. cake & sparkling wine) were made available complimentary. As the area is a little remote, I'm glad that the resort provided complimentary shuttle services to both Chaweng and Lamai. Also appreciated the hotel app which made communication with various concierge and hotel services very easy. Responses were super prompt. I recommend the massages at the spa - suggest to book in advance to secure a slot.

The location is great to walk to massage places, restaurants and right on the beach. The pool area/beachfront was nice and seemed to have enough chairs for all. The staff are excellent! Very accommodating and friendly! The bed was comfortable, but linens and towels are worn. Outside the bathroom (which is only screens and wood slats) the staff congregate and talk at all hours of the night. Maybe it’s the next door resort? They are very close with only a wall separating. There are many floodlights along the path outside the door to the room and they shine right into the room. Someone kept turning it to shine into the window and we’d turn it back down to the ground so we could sleep and along would come someone else to turn it back to shine into the window. Very annoying! They need lower wattage or different angles for them. The breakfast was a good- eggs, meats, salad, Thai dishes, yogurt and breads. We liked the location a lot and rented scooters to visit farther away places.

Great location and hotel. The only downside was the air conditioning wasn’t very strong - it would seem to almost turn off at a certain point. The pool was also quite small and even though it says no diving, there were many children diving and jumping which was a bit irritating. We got a complimentary dinner on our last night which was lovely and the staff were always very friendly.
