Hotels with sea view in Ko Samet

Our only small quibble was the lack of sunloungers, though we appreciate the high occupancy whilst we were there. Nice room, some small plumbing issues though. I guess island amenities! Overall an excellent stay

When I arrived, the location they gave me was indeed good, the second row from the sea. Let's talk about the pros: 1. **Price**: It's the cheapest among all room types

The second time I booked a premier room for 2 nights in the Sai Kaew Resort. You get into the hotel and just feel well. It's modern, clean, quiet. Good breakfast (please offer bananas and nutella in future).

The whole travel to and from the island via the ferry and cars where your luggage is delivered to your room was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent

Everything about this hotel is just great

I've stayed at this hotel three times. The first two times, I stayed in the Premier area. Last time, while walking around the hotel, I saw that the bungalows had great views, so this time I decided to stay in one

What a beautiful place. Bar with outside seating is perfect gor seeing besutiful Samed sunset. Drink are great. I had the Bird of Paradise.

Amazing resort on a private beach , service very attentive … food good and not overpriced

Cons: Unfortunately, the overall vibe of the hotel fell short of expectations. Despite its 5-star rating, we found the atmosphere lacking warmth and character. One significant disappointment was the dining options

While the location, right on the beach and surrounded by privacy, offered a serene setting, several aspects left much to be desired. Pros: The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the stunning location

Accommodation: We opted for the front beach villa, which boasted beautiful surroundings and comfortable amenities. However, our experience was marred by the quality of the mattress

Beautiful beach , excellent service

I had a wonderful time, great breakfast! Location is perfect!!!

Absolutely loved how the bungalows looked from the outside and from the inside. Also one of the best beds during my Thailand trip. Restaurant was also a must-go. Good service, ocean view, tasty food

The hotel is amazing, the location is great. Loved it!

I love Pavillion resort at Ao Phai beach in Samed. Great breakfast, friendly staff, nice pool. The only downside was I found it difficult to get the shower at a good temperature, either too hot or too cold

Despite this, I would visit again!

What else would you need? Special note: as much as I love thai food, the pizza chef on this restaurant made amazing pizza 🤩

Stayed here for 3 nights with my daughter. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Room was spacious, clean and had a great view of the water. Seafood and breakfast buffet were good

The rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet — perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun and by the sea. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to help

If you want to walk to the nearest little cove it will take you about 20 min , otherwise you can catch a “ taxi” which will cost you 200 Baht- or 250 Baht to the center , where you will find just past the tourists doctors on the left the best Thai food ever

We went on a private 3 hr snorkelling trip which was fantastic!! Went early in the morning and had snorkelling sites to ourselves. The water was crystal clear at Ao Prao and enjoyed the daily craft and beachside massage

The breakfast is delicious, the grounds are well maintained, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing — exactly what you need for a perfect holiday. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again

Only negative is that this side of the island is owned mostly by the same resort chain so the options for variation in food is limited so would not recommending spending more than 3-4 days

It was absolutely stunning, and if we could, we would have stayed for another week without hesitation. Breakfast would have been good if the food had been hot — unfortunately, everything was served cold

We had a bad experience in Koh Samet before arriving at Samed Ville Resort, so this stay really changed our perspective. To be completely honest, this might be the best beach on the island

The restaurant is quite overpriced for what it delivers. One downside was that the sunbeds were not included and had to be paid for separately

That said, the staff was always amazing, extremely kind, and very helpful throughout our stay

The place is maintained and cleaned by friendly staff. There is a well maintained swimming pool, however no sun shades or sun beds. The breakfast is minimal though with a small selection of food and mostly cold

This is served in a old canteen type building. When i was there in November i would estimate that the place was about 20% full if that. Also the nicer rooms don't seem to be advertised on the booking platforms

The rest of the new island always stuck. just 10 minutes, room clean new view see the sea. the bathroom had no tub and the toilet with the shower separate pool than นำ้ pretty big can swim out

This is our go-to accommodation whenever we visit Samet. It's shady and the staff are lovely and attentive. It's a shame that the room was only available for five days; I wish I could have stayed for ten

We'll definitely be back next time!

The service was excellent, and the accommodation was spotless. The natural scenery was breathtaking, offering fantastic photo opportunities. They also have a lovely swimming pool, and the food was delicious! 🤍

From the moment I checked in, I felt very welcomed by the front desk team, especially Khun Janphen. She was attentive, detail-oriented, and always ready to help with anything I needed

The room and facilities were very clean and well-kept. , they also hosted an outdoor movie, which was such a nice touch. I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come back again

Everything was ok, except low amount of beach chairs and poor and repeatedly same breakfasts... and miriads of mosquitos, what is of course not hotel fail...

This is my fifth time vacationing in Thailand, and I've also traveled to the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, the Maldives, and Hamilton Island, but this is honestly the first time I've encountered a staff member so rude

She pointed her finger at me and loudly demanded that I push the water bottle from the middle of the table to against the wall. Upon check-in, they asked for 500 baht per night for an extra bed for our 6-year-old

Thankfully, my English speaking skills are decent, and after a big argument, he ended up yelling that he was going to call the police. Overall, I still wouldn't recommend booking a hotel here

One evening, we also encountered teenagers on the beach who were indiscriminately bullying kids playing there. I never even saw something like this in Australia, yet it happened on Koh Samet

Upon arrival we were told that check in was ,2pm and the room was not ready, fair but was not contacted when the room was ready so booked in at 2pm

Excellent place to stay with friends and family. Sea beach facing resort with wide variety of rooms and facilities. Good services and nice staff, food and ambience

I stayed in a standalone Thai-style bungalow, which was really nice, but the birds outside started chirping at 5 AM and it was a bit noisy. Every evening there were beach fire dance shows

As professionals in the entertainment industry, we believe there are ways to enhance the experience for guests, such as incorporating a more diverse music selection or live performances

The resort's location is stunning, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere that made our stay enjoyable. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring all our needs were met

However, we felt that the beach entertainment could use some improvement. While the idea of music on the beach is great, the selection and execution were somewhat lacking, making it a bit boring at times

We truly enjoyed our time here and would love to see the entertainment aspect elevated for an even better guest experience. Thank you for considering our feedback! 🙏🏻

The staff are very accomodating and the service is excellent making our family feel like at home. It is located on a very beautiful beach with crystal clear water and a reef of the beach which you can snorkel

Lovely quiet spot at the end of the beach, staff were helpful and friendly, the cottages were large, spacious and clean. Breakfast was good, not masses of choice but enough.

A nice hotel with very helpful staff. Choosing a seaside room on Trip was not clear, we ended up with a room further off the beach than I prefer. Staff moved us to a preferred room, without hassle

Best location we saw after visiting at least 6 beaches. Hotel is not operating at capacity so it’s very quiet. I wish the beach bar was open but there are plenty just steps down the beach

Another fantastic stay at c samet. We love the hotel position with beautiful view from the room and beaxh that is most quiet. People are very nice there too, hope to stay again soon Traveled as a family with a kid

The staff are superb as is the location. The renovation of the swimming pool is a welcome lift to the resort. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and can’t wait to go back

Two small caveats that don't merit a star deduction. One, the AC smelled bad for about one day. Second, in high season, the beach chairs are really crowded closely together. Not a big deal, just wanted to mention it

I was on the 4th floor and the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so of course I had to climb 4 flights of stairs, but it was worth it because the view from the top floor was amazing. The room was big and clean.

My review is for the boat tour. Boat 999. Excellent professional crew. Very friendly and personable. Really enjoyed my day snorkeling! Highly recommended 👍

They have a restaurant and they do boat tours, this is my second night and I have just completed a boat tour

The location is right opposite to beach with their restaurant in between. Rooms are like nice and clean but the orientation is like a dormitory with walls between the rooms and glass partition n door at room entrance

Nice hotel right on the beach . Free deck chairs . Great nightly fire show  Nice restaurant with amazing food, awesome cocktails and friendly staff Room average , clean but had a terrible intermittent drain smell

Top choice in Koh Samed. Located on the beach with a very nice restaurant that also offers bbq during week ends!

It could have been better, but overall it’s ok. Nice breakfast.

Not for elderly/ ppl with disabilities. There was limited seating so had to wait and refills took very long ( kitchen seemed to be short staffed in the high season )  Overall, the stay was average

The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The location was convenient, and the breakfast was outstanding. Upon check-in, we encountered an issue with the door lock, but the hotel promptly arranged a room change

The front desk staff handled the situation with great efficiency and professionalism. Overall, it was a wonderful stay

Super hotel! Breakfast on the beach- amazing! Good location, good food, super service!

This was our family's first ever Xmas abroad and Pandora made it the best Xmas ever! The rooms were spacious and perfect for our family of 5 (2 Adults, 3 kids aged 10, 8 and 4 and would be cleaned, with fresh towels provided, whenever we asked, daily if needed

The service is outstanding, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. The food is very good, with plenty of choice, and the pools are great, especially for relaxing after a day exploring the island

The 2 pools offered variety and activity for the kids which meant that some days we didn't need to leave the resort

They couldn't have been more generous with their help and guidance and even booked us a stunning restaurant and location for our family Xmas meal :-) The food at the resort itself was very excellent and varied, with both local and western options

Great resort, tucked out of the way but within easy reach to restaurants & bars. Stunning beaches a few hundred metres away staff are super friendly & helpful. Rooms need a little tlc.

I stay here every time I visit the island, and I would not choose anywhere else. The staff is extremely, extremely kind and welcoming — there is absolutely nothing to complain about

Price for value was very low for us as we paid nearly 20'000 baht for a night (we stayed during high season, december). Had we payed 5000 baht or less it would've been less bad

We booked the garden view bungalow and it was as expected regarding the fair price. Clean place, free water daily, had no issues. There's plenty of stuff to choose from, including freshly made egg varieties and such

It's located at one of the best beaches on the island and there's no noise from bars like on other beaches. It's actually more of a hideaway than a party resort and this is what we were looking for

Don't let the negative reviews spook you, the staff is really friendly and they organize tours and taxis for you if you like

Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner is understaffed, which means you need to wait long for your order to arrive

We saw that the price would have been 13'000 baht on Booking or Agoda. The service didn't feel very client oriented at the reception. Location: Location was great for us as it was directly by the beach we liked

There are no sun loungers, just tables on the sand. When it's high tide, the water comes right up to the hotel entrance, and when it's low tide in the evenings, it recedes about 200 meters, creating space for a walk

Breakfast is mediocre, and the service is too; everyone is a bit slow, but that's okay, it works for a couple of days' stay

We had a wonderful experience! The staff were so helpful and friendly. The pool and facilities were clean. The location was wonderful with direct access to a quiet beach.

Close to the beach, excellent service, and we were very happy with the room they assigned us.

This hotel isn't bad, it's stylishly designed, and the room is clean and tidy. The only downside is that there's no real beach directly attached to the hotel, and the access is from the sea side

The hotel has a restaurant with some tables right on the beach; the menu is quite extensive, and the prices aren't inflated. The beach is nice, and the sea is magnificent

Thank you! Oh, and there's a small restaurant run by an old man to the north that's absolutely delicious! Try the Tom Yum Goong and Mama noodles! My husband and I, along with the Swedish couple at the next table, completely cleaned our plates

They also boast a stunning jungle-themed coffee shop, and the staff even offered us a discount. The only minor drawback was the air conditioning in our room, which was quite noisy, but otherwise, everything was excellent

Being close to Christmas, the evenings here left a wonderful impression on me! The room was quite spacious, with an IKEA-esque style. There's an outdoor balcony, perfect for reading in the morning

Baan is the closest of the four hotels to the pier (as shown in the last picture), which was a huge relief! It's just a 1-minute walk, saving us the hassle of getting a tuk-tuk

To the north, it's less crowded and beautifully scenic – I really love it here! Breakfast was also quite extensive, with several dishes you could select individually

But the real highlight is the location and the view! Being so close to the beach was perfect, and our room offered truly beautiful, breathtaking views of the coast

I stayed in the Ocean Front Jacuzzi room, which is one of their new ones. The views are amazing, and its balcony is in the perfect position to enjoy the live music and fire show that starts at 19:30 every night

Most of the bad reviews here are from people who didn't do their due diligence. This resort has a mixture of extremely old rooms, and extremely new rooms - it's up to you to know what you're booking

The resort is very peaceful as it's far from the main beaches. Ao Thian is small, but beautiful with clear water. The shower was very hot and very powerful

The wifi throughout the resort was excellent: 300Mbps to 500Mbps. The food at the restaurant was mostly excellent (chicken burger was a let down, but all the Thai food I ate was excellent)

Negatives: Breakfast was poor - everything was cold. The coffee, even the fried eggs. I skipped it on the second morning of my stay. The AC unit in the room was a little bit too loud

What a gem of a place we found. Delicious food and great bar service. Excellent musical entertainment in the evenings. And a superb professional fire show

A pleasant, simple, and quite basic hotel. The room was very small, but the view was beautiful. The beach is close by, and the sea is wonderful. Beach sun loungers are an additional charge

Nestled between two beaches, both within walking distance. The Deluxe Room had very few amenities, but offered sea views from the window

The breakfast buffet is very good, and you can also order different freshly prepared egg dishes directly from the kitchen – all included. The restaurant offers a fantastic view of the sea and the beach

Great place for a family holiday! We had a bungalow on the beach, with its own terrace. The house has a small second floor, where a double bed fits. A good restaurant with a great view of the sea

The Luxury Room, however, was a whole building facing the sea, with significantly upgraded facilities – perfect for watching the sunrise. Overall, it's a compact resort with a beautiful pool

I stayed one night at Vimarn Samed Resort and really loved it! The place is modern, cozy, and peaceful — my Garden View bungalow (Room V3) was clean, comfortable, and even had a partial sea view from the balcony, perfect for reading or relaxing

The stuff are nice and really helpful. Plus the sea view is amazing😍

I love the room. It's modest but on point. You can see the clear blue sky and the sea just from the window of the room. Definitely will be here again if I ever have the chance.

It’s a nice hotel with private clean beach which I liked. Really quiet, great for people who are looking for some peace. Also not too far from everything especially if you ride a bike

The breakfasts were excellent, the place was quiet, the room was clean, overall I liked everything.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and can highly recommend it. The rooms were very clean, modern, and comfortable, with everything needed for a relaxing stay

Great resort with a great view. Nice swimming pool. Breakfast is ok, but better not come late. The location is very good if you like a quiet area.

The room was quite spacious and newly renovated. The location was excellent, close to both the sea and the main street, making it super convenient for shopping and dining. You can even pay with Alipay at 7-Eleven

Tonsak Resort is fabulous! Clean and so beautiful. The staff are friendly, and the food and drinks are delicious. It's also super conveniently located, with many restaurants, massage parlours, and two 7-11s nearby

So, if you're traveling with kids, it's probably best to book a family room, as paying extra doesn't guarantee a room change – you'll likely stay in the same one

Be aware that children over 4 years old (or was it 3?) incur an extra charge of 700 THB per day for the room, plus 200 THB per day for the buffet breakfast

The deluxe king and twin rooms have a small bed that an adult can sleep on. The hotel has a restaurant where you can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner

The prices are comparable to outside, though the portions are about half the size. The buffet breakfast was very rich and definitely worth it

The rooms are clean and spacious, fantastic shower and a clean bathroom. The food we had as part of a package was really good, plenty of choice

Hotel was right on the beach and the staff were very helpful with booking taxis as the main area is quite a walk from the hotel

Very quiet and relaxing, and not much in the area to do fyi, especially in the off season. The front desk was very helpful. A 200baht taxi ride or 30+min walk to the ferry or into town for more restaurants/action

The hotel itself was nice, but the location wasn't ideal. The beach nearby was unsuitable for swimming due to rocks and sea urchins, so we had to walk about 30 minutes to find another beach.

Good hotel in a quiet area with delicious breakfasts. However, the rooms weren't super clean, even though the staff tried their best. Overall, it's a great place.

There were simply too many bugs. Ants were crawling all over the bed, and I barely slept a wink all night. It was a very disappointing stay.
