Resort The Fair House Beach Resort & Hotel in Chaweng Noi

Not recommended at all. For this price you can find much better and more luxurious hotels. The rooms are indeed large but old and a little smelly. The staff is kind but that doesn't make up for the tasteless food and the distance from good restaurants.
We definitely won't be back here.
You can find a much better hotel

Just arrived yesterday and will be here for a few nights. Our room is located by a canal and when it’s low tide you’ll know it before you see it, the smell is quite overwhelming.

The reviews I read said that the resort has seen better days and I believe this to be true, but they are still making an effort with loads of staff on at all times. It just seems like certain pockets of the resort seem to be neglected that’s all with stuff laying around and what not but it’s still a stunning location and you feel like you’re in a manicured jungle and I think they do a great job to make this mountainous haven feel magical.

Our shower didn’t drain last night and today but we had someone come to check it and hopefully it’s fixed now. They also brought us an oil burner because the smell of the canal was super strong when we arrived but once the tide went up it was fine.

The aircon pumps, works well and the breakfast was delicious with loads of staff working.

Before I arrived I had been targeted 4 times on WhatsApp about my booking, the message knew my name, reservation details and that I booked on booking.com and they obviously had my number. They claimed I had to click some link to pay my booking or whatever, I messaged booking.com and the hotel about it feeing pretty insecure that my details had been leaked but both parties didn’t really have much to say about it except don’t click the link. It’s the first time this has happened on a booking.com booking so it felt like an inside leak to me which made me feel weird about coming here.

Overall the staff are lovely, it’s definitely seen better days but they are doing their best to make it still feel like an oasis (the gardens are gorgeous), for the price I’d expect a bit more maintenance but it’s Samui prices I’m sure.

we were a group of about 10 people and got assign different room types. the first room we got were weirdly decorated, old, smelly, damp and dirty. There were air purifier in the room with ventilation fan in the ceiling and automatic air freshener which spray above the bed every few minutes. its not livable at all. we asked to change the room and it was done promply. so i dont get it if there were other available room why did we get assigned that room in the first place. The new room we got was ok but still smell and not properly clean.

the location is nice. its right on the beach but thats about it. breakfast was standard. the toaster only work on one side. 🤷‍♂️
