Where to stay with kids in Ko Samui

Service: The staff were very welcoming. Cleanliness: The pool was very clean. Environment: It was really nice, and breakfast was plentiful.

I stayed in a Garden Pool Villa, which was very spacious and thoughtfully designed. 2 m deep) was a great size, and the villa felt well equipped with many details focused on guest comfort

Great, with excellent service.

The bed in the room wasn't very comfortable, and the shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower were difficult to open. The hotel should really check these and replace them promptly

Also, some of the toilets had an unpleasant smell! The Japanese restaurant was good, and the breakfast staff provided excellent service, though the food itself was just average

The hotel offered plenty of activities, including a small kindergarten for parents to leave their kids

They have a nice pool(appears bigger in the pictures than it is ) The breakfast was great The staff was very friendly There is a shortcut to the beach so like a 5-7min walk to the beach

It is a wonderful place to stay in. The area is beautiful, colourful with a lot of plants everywhere. Perfect location and staff members are so kind and helpful. We will come back here later for sure.

It felt like a maze of wonder, and my inner child was in her absolute element! I was here for almost a month while completing my yoga teacher training in the beautiful on-site shala, and I had the opportunity to experience several different rooms

The resort has three pools to choose from, including a fun waterslide and a serene infinity pool perfect for unwinding. The views overlooking the beach are breathtaking, especially at sunrise

This resort is unlike anywhere else: colorful, artistic, tranquil, and full of heart. Every corner has something to discover—positive affirmations on the walls, unique art, hidden garden nooks, and cozy spots to relax

Each room is uniquely decorated, vibrant, and full of character. Daily cleaning and restocking is available, and no two rooms are the same—every stay feels special

With multiple pools, we could enjoy a swim in peace, and we even saw little birds coming to drink water from the pool. The hotel grounds are quite extensive, and a leisurely stroll around was very pleasant

We arrived in the morning, and our room wasn't ready yet, but the front desk staff warmly invited us to try out the various facilities and services

We treated ourselves to a spa session after a tiring journey; it was quite pricey, but there was a discount on the first day, and it was truly, truly comfortable! Additionally, our check-in was on a Sunday, so we got to catch a fire show, and the iron flower performance was a novel experience

When we were tired from exploring, we'd head to the lounge for some drinks, and in the evening, we could enjoy a drink while feeling the sea breeze and watching the sunset. It was incredibly relaxing and comfortable

I feel that this hotel deserves a thorough review. We decided to stay at Intercontinental Samui for our wedding anniversary after checking out many hotels on the island, and it was a great decision

The hotel staff were also the most enthusiastic I've ever encountered; they always greeted us with the biggest smiles whenever we saw them. Overall, it was a great experience

A nice hotel with spacious grounds and a beautiful, warm pool. The rooms are clean and spacious. The location is great, close to the sea and a promenade with food and shops

Excellent hotel, the service people are so nice and professional, the swimming pool is super good. It's close to the beach, and has many restaurants close

The ocean view from the balcony on the third floor is amazing! Swimming along the nearby beach and even swimming in the hotel pool is fantastic

We did the check out at 12h and we ask if we could stay in the swimming pool for some hours, and they even gave us some towels

Great hotel! But make sure you get a room with a sea view! The view from the balcony is stunning. Everything is new and clean, the air conditioning is good, the mattress is comfortable, and the bed linens are excellent

The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. we especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the sound of the sea

The personnel is so kind and helpful. We had a private yoga lesson it was very nice. Kids club is nice and there are 1-2 people from the staff with the kids inside. You can have a massage by the pool and in the spa

The hotel is situated in a perfect spot, on a better part of the beach which was always kept clean by the staff, and in the middle of walking street at the front, although you couldn't hear from inside the hotel grounds which made the location perfect

We were helped everywhere possible. Great breakfast with lots of choice. The Thai food for dinner was authentic and tasty (pretty sure no MSG was used fortunately). Jeen(?) in the lobby was always smiley and friendly

Very nice hotel for families, 2 pools, direct access to the beach (not private), free breakfast for kids, plate and glasses for kids. Food is good and includes a few vegetarian options

The food in the hotel itself was very yummy and extremely well presented. There’s a choice of two swimming pools with the garden pool having a more relaxed vibe

Airport transfer and a 60 minutes couple massage for free

Not too far from main area, within walking distance but quieter. Room is a bit old. The pool and facilities are well maintained.

Great resort. Thai Village rooms are very nice. Great pool by the beach. Good buffet breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

The resort I itself was good and full of amenities and well located as its quiet but close to many places as well, however the service was lacking as there was barely any attention paid to guests

Good location, quiet area but close to shops and restaurants. The sea wasn’t very pleasant to swim in because of the seaweed (but it’s not the hotels fault).

For more extensive shopping, Central Koh Samui is just about 20 minutes walk, making it incredibly convenient without being noisy or crowded

The resort’s beachfront location means you can enjoy sunrise walks or evening strolls with ease. In terms of location, it’s hard to beat

They have direct beach access from the pool area, which is great for families who want to half/half it. The breakfast is huge, all fresh and constantly replenished. Would definitely return there!

You get the best of both worlds this way. We stayed for 10 days and could have easily stayed longer. Highly recommend for families with kids as the kids club staff are fantastic. Would love to come back and stay again

Have to say this is best hotel I have ever been to in Koh Samui, the room is huge and the beach looks amazing. the beach is so clean, private, and so fancy. it’s too not expensive compared to the price as well

The hotel is stunning, rooms are great and the location is fantastic- beautiful relatively quiet beach but when you leave the hotel main entrance your right in the middle of the shopping location

Loved staying at centara reserve. The breakfast was definitely a highlight, food was very nice and there was a wide selection. You can even take away coffee from the breakfast

This is our second time to Samui and we loved every second of it

Rooms are clean and fresh but small. The location is better for the family. The pool is cool and the beach access is perfect. The beach is perfect. Workers are friendly and smiley.

Stayed for 1 week in early February. Breakfast was lovely with loads of selections. The room was spotless and regularly serviced. The reception staff were obliging and service was prompt. The pool area was always tidy

Service is efficient and friendly, with staff responding promptly and professionally to requests. Amenities are modern, practical, and well-maintained, perfectly suited for both short business stays and extended trips

Overall, a reliable and comfortable option in Samui, especially for business travelers who prioritize location, efficiency, and comfort

Fantastic hotel with direct access to beautiful part of the beach away from the  noise and crowd of the party area near Ark bar. Couldn’t fault this hotel it really was fabulous.

The rooms are quite small (we were a couple with 2 suitcases). Breakfast was good and the restaurant by the pool is good as well. You can book taxis through reception as grab does not always work (mafia)

Lubd is my favorite Hotel Hostel !!! Its perfect for solo travelers!!! I met a lot of friends. Have a nice 2 swimming pools in front of the beach and the breakfast is Delicious. But the Welcome drink is only can get

Nice hotel with two pools and beachside access. Price is quite high compared to others on the beach if get private room.

Perfect social vibe and location, but cleanliness needs work Overall, Lub d is a really cute place. The facilities are great with two pools and direct beach access. The room was small but cozy and comfortable

This place is a game-changer for solo travelers! Dorms are comfy, the common room's got great vibes, and the staff are super helpful. Plus, it's super central – easy to meet fellow travelers and explore

- I slept in a clean female dorm room. The room was cleaned every day and smells good. - There is a hot water dispenser on every floor. - The ground floor has coin-operated washing machines and dryers

The location is right on the beach, there are restaurants, convenience stores and massage stores within a 5 minute walk. The food and drinks are also delicious at the hotel

From the moment we arrived, the service was welcoming 😃 We'd like to give a special shoutout to the Hotel Manager, Boky, and her amazing team for their exceptional professionalism and warm hospitality, which truly enhanced our stay

Upscale hotel with unique design, warm service, and a clean environment!

The room was spacious, impeccably maintained, and offered unforgettable, great view! We’d also like to express our sincere thanks to the restaurant manager and her team for making our dining experiences truly exceptional

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

Every meal was beautifully presented, and the service was amazing. Their attention to detail and heartfelt hospitality made each visit memorable and special

We travel often, but this stay stood out because of the exceptional people who went out of their way to make our time memorable

Great hotel with stunning views and great rooms. Gym is not great, very small, but the pool and beachfront are lovely. A little less prime of a location.

First and foremost, the staff at Mercure Samui was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend it just based upon that. The restaurant/cafe/bar was stellar - offering up great food at really great prices

We stayed in the building near the sea. The gym was decent, and the breakfasts were good – both kids and adults found plenty to eat. The rooms were cozy and clean

Make sure to book the suites with a pool view, as the other building is, to put it mildly, quite disappointing! Otherwise, everything was perfect!

The rooms were just bigger than the bed, after having put a baby cot then then the room had almost no space to even open a second luggage, also there were no disposable toiletries which is generally a given

The only thing to be aware of is that it's divided into two buildings. The second building is located across the street, and its views are vastly different and less desirable ☹️

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.

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 location is convenient, offering direct access to the sea. However, swimming isn't possible directly in front of the hotel due to shallow water and corals

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

The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. The pool next to the gym is magnificent. Having breakfast overlooking the sea is pure bliss. This was our second stay, and it's just as enjoyable as the first time

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

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

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 walls are a bit thin, but overall we felt more relaxed in this part of the property. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay

The natural surroundings and atmosphere made it a special experience, and we would definitely consider staying here again

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

Our room was bright, and comfortable. It was very clean and well maintained thanks to our housekeeper, Nong!! The drinks by the pool were well made, and the food menu at the pool was extensive

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

The family pool villa we stayed in was always kept stocked with plenty of fresh towels and toiletries; and the bed, although a bit on the firm side, was comfortable enough for our 6-day stay

There are a few things that could be improved: – The shower had a curtain, which didn’t feel very clean – The pool loungers were partly broken and should be replaced – The menu signs at the pool bar were hard to read – At breakfast, the food didn’t really change, there were only juice concentrates and no plant-based milk options Even with these small issues, we had a wonderful time and felt very well...

Water pressure wasn’t great but we got by. Gardens and public pool were well-kept and pretty. Generally, the food in the restaurant was amazing, while the free buffet breakfast wasn’t bad

The exit of the hotel is on the 3rd floor One night I couldn't sleep because there were people fighting in the rooms. I didn't find the hotel suitable for a family with children

Amazing hotel with easily access to the shopping mall and the beach. I would recommend this hotel for family or friends trip. It would be an amazing time in Koh Samui

I chose to stay longer it was that good, very convenient, great place to stay for solo travellers, family, friends, etc

I would definitely come back to this hotel from my next stay

Modern hotel located in front of Central Samui

Great central location within walking distance of restaurants, lively nightlife and Chaweng beach. Rooms are quite small for two adults and very basic. Good overall value

Great quiet hotel for a family holiday. Get pleasure)

Melia was nice and cozy with an excellent selection of breakfast. The sunbeds are spread across the lagoon pool and nearly always available. The happy hour at the pool bar is also generous

Set along a beautiful, peaceful stretch of beach, Melia resort is home to one of the longest pools on the island, with many waterfalls and slides and the river like pool creates a serene, almost floating feeling as you move through the property

please take care people not out towels on the benches in the pool and walk away to breakfast or somewhere else. Just collect them, so someone else can stay there

The room and the swim up we booked were lovely, clean and comfortable. The pool area is great, but needs a bit of TLC, slightly tired

The warm welcome at the front desk from Lucy, along with Zena and Sachi at Level, made us feel instantly at home

Amazing team who went above and beyond to ensured that we would have a great holiday

Great location near to all bars and restaurants,clean room,pool has plenty of beds,would stay here again

Very nice bungalow, very clean room but the place around is worn and a little dirty around. Otherwise a good place and cozy. Is On the beach and we will maybe be back.

The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, with a huge variety of dining options nearby, plus a gym – definitely one of Koh Samui's biggest selling points! The staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to help

Sun bed on the beach can use new mattresses and the resort should get more and new beach umbrellas! Service at the beach bar is very slow so have some patience

My experience on arrival was not the best as the staff sent me on a goose chase to get a beach towel while I was waiting for my room to be ready for check-in. A part from that the rooms are very big and comfortable

Great location if you want to party, they have a pool party for adults only from the afternoon to the night. Planes fly directly overhead which can get annoying if you are a light sleeper

In the evening there’s a beach party with fire shows, great food, and tasty cocktails (highly recommend the strawberry daiquiri!). There's also a wonderful massage service if you're looking to relax a bit

A great hotel for loud parties – good DJs, good music. Not suitable for a quiet holiday. Music plays until the early hours from all directions. Planes often fly over the hotel, which is also noisy.

The rooms are spotless and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and always willing to help. An excellent combination of comfort and location, making it ideal for a perfect holiday

Fun and vibrant hotel perfect for young travelers! We usually come here to celebrate birthdays – book a night, enjoy the ocean breeze, and soak up the energy

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location. It's just a few minutes' walk to the sea and the beach, with plenty of cafes and shops nearby

The location is perfect—right on a beautiful beach and in the center of Chaweng, which makes everything very convenient. We didn’t try the hotel food as we keep kosher and only had fruits, so we can’t comment on that

George, Run, and Junn are wonderful individuals who have become dear friends over my many stays at the hotel. Their warm hearted nature truly makes this place special for me

Also worth mentioning: there’s no real need to pay extra for higher-category rooms. The basic rooms in the main building are spacious, comfortable, and offer everything you need. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay

Lai, the restaurant manager, exemplifies this hospitality she is always kind and eager to help with anything I may need. The restaurant staff is equally accommodating, and no request is ever too much for them

I have been visiting Bann Chaweng Beach Resort and Spa for 20 years, and I absolutely love it here. The resort is situated in the best part of the beach, with beautiful beach front villas

A beautiful spot. Pui was a lovely host, very genuine and didn’t make us feel in a rush. Would highly recommend. Not too shiny and not too shabby, the perfect balance. Understated charm

My kids LOVED the kids club! They wanted to spend all their time there and after we returned to Dubai they kept asking to go back to the kids club! I especially loved the Thai kickboxing class which was such a unique experience for my kiddos

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.

The car transfer was very fast, and there was also a play area for children.

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

A Ritz Carlton with loads of cheap outdoor stuff? When you the main pool (that’s is way to Big and no privacy” You Will understand.   So, would i come back? No, maybe not

Save the money and go somewhere else if you dont plan to go to the pool villa. Maybe i Will give it another chance when the property breath some ”fresh” youthful air…

Amazing hostel! Would definitely stay here again! Lovely pool, staff, bar! Fun games to play in lobby including pool, beer pong, and ping pong

Amazing stay in the heart of Samui. It’s a nice, clean, center located place to everything you want, beach is just across the street and lots of restaurant/nightlife at walking distance

Best shower I’ve taken this whole trip! Also, the most comfortable bed I’ve had at a hostel in ages

The staff is very friendly and helpful and they maintain good cleaning

Lovely modern hotel/hostel Great to make friends very social place to stay and food was very nice Don’t stay here if you want to get some sleep, it’s right next door to a nightclub so music is loud till 3am most nights My room didn’t have a window or balcony so felt very boxed in

Before you make the booking, be prepared not be able to sleep till 2AM because of the loud sound and vibration from next door club. If you are party animal then maybe it's a plus for you

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

Wow! Such a good place! The rooms big and pretty with good smell. The beach bar was wonderful and the pool too! Very nice staff and we didn’t have any problems! Really recommended!

• Helpfulness: The team was always ready to assist with any questions or concerns, making the stay especially enjoyable. • Pool Area: The pool area was not only exceptionally clean but also aesthetically pleasing

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

There was one person managing the pool bar and bar in the restaurant, so not their fault. It is also extremely expensive. We got a beef burger by the pool and it was inedible

The bread was so stale and the patty tasteless, couldn't eat it. We paid to have breakfast included but only went once. The food is all out in the open and flies going all over it. We did not want to risk food poisoning

We stayed for 4 days in their beachfront pool villa during the month of April 2024. Everything from the start to the end was exceptional. The rooms were very spacious, the breakfast buffet was good

Very good hotel and staff are friendly. The view we got and the pool are amazing.

We stayed for 4 nights in a private pool villa. The room was large and very comfortable, with a super comfy bed and pillows. Service was constant and attentive, and the in-house app made it easy to contact the host 24/7

Overall, it was a fantastic stay, very relaxing, and we’d highly recommend it for anyone wanting a private pool villa experience in Koh Samui

The hotel is ok, but not 5 stars, is a bit far from the main street, and very dark to walk that way when it gets a bit dark, and the breakfast is very simple, at most like a 3 star hotel, so not worth the money we paid for this hotel in low season, and swimming is not possible in that part of the island either, too many big rocks everywhere, so you can only swim in the pool

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

I stayed in a Grand Suite with a pool view, and while the decor was lovely, the room felt quite dark and stuffy. Opening the doors for light invites mosquitoes, so it’s not a great solution

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

Installing mesh screens or breathable windows could really improve the comfort level. Food: Nay at the restaurant deserves special mention for their courteous service. Overall, I’d rate the staff a 9/10

It may be unfair to compare, but we came straight from a similar hotel on Koh Phangan where everything truly deserved top marks from us

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
