We had a pleasant stay at Hyatt. Having moved from a nearby hotel, we were happy to see how modern and clean the facilities were. Coconut drinks at breakfast buffet were a plus and the beach was small but cozy
One downside though-- We were away 10am-330pm on our second day and came back to the room to find it still not cleaned
Everyone was incredibly helpful and hospitable and the resort is absolutely stunning!!!awish yhe beach had more white sand,but we had an incredible experience!We will be back for sure
The biggest drawback of this hotel is the beach. It's not fine sand but rather a mix of pebbles and rocks. Firstly, it's almost impossible to walk barefoot on the beach, and secondly, swimming isn't an option
This hotel is not suitable for families who enjoy playing on sandy beaches or need to swim in the sea
Stunning hotel. Very helpful staff. The place is a little far from the center but full of its own charm. Excellent breakfast

The hotel boasts a great location right by Chaweng Beach with nice views and attentive service. The evening fireworks show was spectacular
The only downside was the inconsistent shower water pressure, which kept fluctuating between hot and cold
Plenty of taxis outside and a family mart right on the property. They project movies on a large screen right on the beach at night. And have a great restaurant and bar setup if you just want to relax close to your room
If you book the beach front private pool , you get a small pool where you can order the floating breakfast. Friendly staff but the housekeeping is not 24 hours so get what you need before late night
One of the most beautiful resorts I’ve ever stayed at. The service from staff was consistently incredible, and the buffet breakfast was good. Would absolutely return to such a calm and picturesque location
Personal favourite was the but 1 get 1 free happy hour on the beach from 4-6pm every day!

Great location on the beach and right in the heart of all the nightlife in Chaweng which is great. Although you're so close to all the venue, it was nice and quiet at the hotel.
A fantastic beach, perfect for swimming, is just a 10-minute walk to the right. The only minor downside was that upon check-in, we noticed a damp smell
It seemed to be coming from the towels, though, as after they were replaced on the second day, the smell completely disappeared
We stayed in two adjacent rooms, and in one of them, the water was only lukewarm. Currently (in August), this particular spot on Chaweng Beach experiences a very noticeable low tide
Great services, conveniently located near all local amenities and well-connected, with easy access to the sea. Breakfast was delicious, though it's a shame there was no chocolate spread.
A beautiful, well-maintained hotel. Delicious breakfasts are served in an open-air restaurant overlooking the sea. The rooms are clean, and the grounds are lush and green
The hotel likes me, wife and kid. The Breakfast was adequate, but not gourmet. Of unequivocal benefits gorgeous beach with hotel sunbeds and a huge green area! Recommend
We had a wonderful stay here and would happily return. The entire area is absolutely stunning – surrounded by lush forest with birds singing from early morning, it feels peaceful and very close to nature
For the first three nights, we stayed in a beachfront bungalow. The interior was lovely and comfortable, and being so close to the sea was a great experience
For the remaining five nights, we moved to a deluxe room in the apartment building. The room was slightly older in style, but it offered much more privacy, including a more comfortable balcony space
However, privacy was a bit limited as people frequently walked by and there were no trees or bushes separating the bungalow from the path
The terrace also tended to get sandy and covered with leaves due to the wind, and it was difficult to dry clothes or towels outside since the drying rack was quite small and the wind was strong

And if you ever get bored of your own pool (hard to imagine!), you can head over to their huge main pool that also faces the beach. Perfect spot to chill and watch the sunset. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing stay
She explained the beach is currently undergoing repairs after a storm. A seawall of some sort is being constructed. However, the pool area is very nice and you can still access the surrounding shoreline
A 4-star hotel that honestly feels like a 5-star stay!
We stayed in the beach bungalow and loved it — we had direct access to the beach and a private pool overlooking the ocean
We enjoyed our food very much. We had a fantastic massage at the spa, which was compensation for the beach construction. The massage was one of the best I’ve ever had
Highly recommend if you want a beach getaway!
The view was just incredible!
We also tried the spa and had dinner at the hotel. The food here was surprisingly good — the chef really knows how to cook! Both dinner and breakfast were excellent

I found that the QR code on the room's TV couldn't successfully add the front desk on WhatsApp. This same male staff member answered the phone when I called, saying we could resolve the issue the next morning
The villa itself was stunning, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort with breathtaking views. The beach is absolutely beautiful, and the breakfast was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options
Honestly, everything was perfect, and most of the staff were very friendly and attentive. Our butler, Tak, was also incredibly thoughtful
My only complaint was that on the day we checked in, I wasn't sure if the person who checked us in and took us to our room was our assigned butler
One of the most stunning views I’ve experienced. From the staff, to the views, and the amenities, all top notch. I absolutely loved waking up to an infinity pool and a breathtaking view of the ocean each morning
After I pointed it out, he didn't offer any explanation, just gave me a new bill. He didn't apologize for the error, nor did he explain why this incorrect charge appeared on our bill

We were fortunate enough to host our wedding and have the most incredible four nights at Vana Belle in early September
From the moment we arrived, we felt so well cared for and knew it was the perfect place for our wedding to take place
Amazing beach, outstanding service, great room, excellent kitchen. I really love the beach, the sand is as soft as that you find in the Maldives, no rocks, shells, gentally sloping into the sea
The two therapist which we used were Apple and smile. Both were absolutely wonderful and helped with my tendinitis in my arm. The staff and the manager Porsche did everything possible to make our stay comfortable
It is one of the best resort I ever stay. Perfect for couple. Highly recommended!
The beach is sandy white and the water was crystal clear. We were happy to swim in the sea. The Rooms were excellent and service was great. One of the best hotels we have visited in Thailand

My husband absolutely loves this hotel! The beach access is super convenient, and the welcoming drink was a nice touch. All the staff are really friendly and the breakfast is fantastic – you can even order off-menu items
The only minor drawback is that they don't automatically provide toothbrushes
They offer free yoga classes in the morning. The beach is a bit rocky, making it difficult to swim. I recommend the dinner restaurant, the view is absolutely stunning!
Breakfast the next morning was excellent, but later at the beach bar we were unexpectedly told that drinks were no longer included, which had not been explained in advance
I came to Thailand for a friend's wedding and took the opportunity to do some short-term traveling. The hotel was very comfortable, with an infinity pool that seamlessly blended with the sea, which was truly breathtaking
However, I'm not sure if it was a language barrier, but their attitude was not very good. I also tried the hotel's spa. The environment was excellent and very private; I heard it was even an award-winning spa

But for a peaceful stay, it’s perfect—and honestly one of the best hotels we’ve experienced in Thailand so far. The staff are very friendly, and the rooms are spacious and beautifully designed
We would definitely come back on our next trip!
The only thing to note is the beach bar could reconsider the music choices, no need for club house when there's 3 people at the beach chilling
Everything was absolutely amazing 🤩
Resort was really very amazing, upto the mark, full privacy and beach view was also good.
It was a treat to eyes. We had a room with pool excess and we really enjoyed alot. Must visit with family.
The location is awesome, close to beach, town and yet private and quiet. Staff are kind, welcoming and very helpful!

Whilst the hotel is a bit dated, and where I was staying was up a number of stairs, the rooms were clean and beds comfy. Rooms were serviced daily with fresh bath and beach towels
The downside as others have mentioned is that it is on the main ring road with no footpaths so it is hard to get to restaurants and shops without either taking a grab, braving the highway, or walking down the beach and cutting through another resort
Five night stay at Impiana in a sea view room. Location is at the quiet end of Cheweng Noi so many times especially early in the morning it felt like you had the beach to yourself
The included breakfast was excellent and the meal we had in the restaurant was also good. Other dining options are available at other hotels via the beach
We enjoyed having dinks and playing pool at the beach bar in between swimming in the ocean or pool and having a massage on the beach next to the resort

Last but not least I would like to say a big big thank you to Nisa and Axel, who are some of the kindest people I know and loved to spend time with them! Hopefully I will see the two of you very soon again!
Exceptional hotel! Went with my wife and the hotel, service, food and activities are fantastic. Would definitely recommend! Bonus is all the food is halal! Perfect hotel for a romantic, luxury stay.
My dad and I stayed at the Ritz/Carlton spontaneously for a short one week getaway. And I have to give the highest praise to the whole team. Everything was lovely from start to finish
The property is very grand, here for the hotel offers a buggy service, which is very convenient! The pool area is also very nice, though the beach a bit less since the sand is a bit grainy
For our stay we booked a twin room with ocean view (we there were two fresh cocnuts witing for us!) and the room was absolutey fantastic. Now onto the breakfast, that was amazing as well
30 it might get a bit crowded and waiting times a bit longer, but we're talking about a few minutes here, so it really wasn't a problem

The pool villa is a perfect choice for couples looking to enjoy a private and romantic hotel stay. It offers great comfort, privacy, and a serene setting that makes the experience feel special and intimate
Every interaction felt professional, warm, and attentive, which made the stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Avani+ Samui Resort for couples or anyone seeking a high-quality, relaxing luxury getaway
I had a rental car and I was very happy. - beach: not suitable for swimming because very shallow but I could still enjoy stand-up paddleboard instead
The service throughout the resort is absolutely top-notch. My expectations were already high, but the staff went above and beyond and truly exceeded them
We had the BEST BLOODY time here!! We didn’t want to come home! First of all - the service was amazing
If you're looking to go to one hotel location and stay there for your visit then this is an excellent spot for you. The rooms were incredible, the bed very comfortable, the amenities and activities were top notch

I must say that the upgrade was not that noticeable, and we didn’t fell the difference in the rooms. The pool is pretty small and can get crowded, but beach is super close which is amazing
Rooms were very clean, with fresh towels and beach towels provided daily. The staff was friendly, and the resort itself was beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of plants, which I really enjoyed
The rooms are great, comfortable beds and great AC. Pool is a bit small but very beautiful and inviting. Beach access is great and comfortable. Food in the restaurant is excellent and the breakfast is rich and tasty
Had a really good time during the two nights we spent here. Everyone was so kind and always greeted us, making us feel welcome here. We got to enjoy both the pool and the beach right in front of the resort
Banana fan was amazing! The staff were extremely helpful, the room was clean and well kept, and the pool/beach area was great. This was the nicest place we stayed throughout 3 weeks in Thailand
Unfortunately, there were some longer waiting times when ordering drinks, but overall, the staff was very polite and professional. The beach was also lovely, and I would definitely come back
The hotel is beachfront, has several on-site restaurants, and the breakfast was great. We didn’t mind the location as we rented a motorcycle just a minute away
We had dinner there for 2 nights and throughly enjoyed it. The staff was always friendly and welcoming. The only con I would say is the beach, it’s rocky and made it barely possible to enjoy a swim to cool off
Negatives:
Our villa shared a wall with another pool villa, and there’s a door connecting them, so we could hear the neighbors. The pool wasn’t fully private — we could see into another villa and they could see us
The room was comfortable and the daily cleaning was timely. The grounds were well kept with beautiful landscaping
The breakfast was delicious and varied, the drinks were well made and well priced
Other notes:
Since it’s a ground-floor/garden villa, expect to see insects and reptiles. We saw several lizards, a toad, a couple of crickets, and lots of mosquitoes — definitely bring repellent
We stayed at this resort for our first stop in Thailand with the intention of having a quiet, relaxing place to get over jet lag. This was exactly what we needed

Final Thoughts:
While the staff (with one exception) and food were commendable, and the location is excellent, the room comfort and overall value for money didn’t quite meet expectations
The room — Royal Suite with sea view — is beautiful! It was fantastic to have our own little outdoor area with a hot tub, and inside there is plenty of space and a large bathroom
The hotel grounds themselves feel like a peaceful oasis on Chaweng Beach. There are lots of trees, and it’s very green and lush. The pool and beach areas are nice
But when we arrived and saw the place in person, I was completely surprised and amazed by how beautiful and pleasant it actually was
Compared to that, Muang Samui doesn’t quite reach the same level, even though there is not much to criticize about the hotel on Koh Samui either
Excellent experience, rooms are very spacious and well equipped. The hotel is literally on the beach, the pool is great. Breakfast is tasty and offers lots of choices. Staff is very professional and thoughtful

Great place for a relaxing holiday.
The rooms are old, smell like insect repellent, very damp, and lack ventilation. They gave us a room with two beds, even though we booked a single bed. They changed the room after a long discussion at reception
The breakfast is mediocre, just eggs, bread, and fruit; everything else is spicy. The sea isn't very clean; you have to swim and shovel trash into it
The hotel exceeded all expectations. The best beach on Koh Samui and the best hotel. The service is unobtrusive, the grounds are spacious and well-maintained, and the main pool is clean
The hotel's beachfront location is stunning, providing breathtaking views and easy access to the ocean. However, a few areas need improvement
A wonderful hotel on the seashore. Large, well-maintained grounds. The room with pool access is large and appears to have two double beds, even though it's designed for two adults
Main hotel entrance from main road, only option as all other hotels also have private roads from and to the beach, which is normal in Samui but also annoying
Small walk through the garden down to the private beach and restaurant, entire beach only has 4-5 other very quiet hotels
We stayed 8 nights and would return due to peaceful setting and beach
This hotel is located on a wide, quiet sandy beach and met all our needs for a relaxing getaway. The spacious rooms, excellent service, and very friendly staff across all facilities are particularly noteworthy
Breakfast restaurant is great with good selection, pool bar is a little too expensive, but happy hour between 15-17. Fitness is ok but with basic machines needing a little update
Once you walk to the main road it has several good restaurants, 7-11 and ATMs. Walk to downtown is possible but takes 30-40 minutes, not really made for pedestrians

The pros: stunning location with 2 beaches, nestled in among the rocks and gorgeous coral in the bay. The breakfast was plentiful and good - lots of choices, buffet style
We stayed at this hotel from January 14th to 29th, 2026. The location is excellent, with a magnificent property and standalone bungalows. We stayed in a bungalow with a sea view
They even provide service call red taxi(no shuttle bus) but the staffs very helpful. I love the small private beach but also can access to big beach
Just returned from a week at this absolutely exceptional place and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Thailand. If 10 stars were an option, this would get them without hesitation
We stayed in Room 105, a private villa with its own pool and stunning sea views, and it was nothing short of perfect. The villa was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully maintained
The bed was large and incredibly comfortable with amazing pillows, and the shower was excellent (a rare luxury after travelling around Thailand!)

The hotel itself was comfortable and well maintained, providing a relaxing base for our trip. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great service in a beachside location
Jackson, one of the waiters, was also amazing, providing fantastic service and making our dining experiences extra special. The entire team at Dara Samui treated us like family, which made our holiday even more enjoyable
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and were genuinely impressed by the level of service throughout our visit. The staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome
One of the best locations in Chaweng, third time at the hotel and I will return, good Thai breakfast, even a choice of egg types in the morning, a pool by the sea and a clean beach, excellent service in everything and they even kept our luggage for us on the trip to Koh Tao, recommended
The location is another major highlight is it is right on the beach, making it incredibly convenient for morning swims and sunset strolls
The restaurant is great with lots of delicious meal options (the Mango sticky rice is the best we've tried by far!). Overall, a nice, affordable resort with character
