Reviews
We could have breakfast in room for one the mornings.
Our “secret room” was exclusive and super private.
Room service tasted awesome.
The team initiated late check out at 3pm to accomodate our departure flight back.
Super recommended if you are coming for your special occasion trips or just a restful getaway.
Location is 3min from Central Samui where supermarkets and restaurants are just stone’s throw away.
