Koh Samet Hotels with Wifi

"Silversand Resort offers a wonderful beachfront experience with an unbeatable location right on Ao Phai Beach. While only a few rooms are directly sea-facing, we stayed in a garden view room that was still well-appointed and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. The buffet breakfast features a decent variety, including a live egg station, salad bar, breads, pancakes, rice, curry, vegetables, and fresh coffee. One small note is that the 10:00 AM cutoff for breakfast felt a bit early given the laid-back island atmosphere—perhaps a slightly extended timing would better suit guests on vacation mode. The resort maintains a no-smoking policy in its restaurant area (except some designated corner space), including the beachfront section. While this is appreciated from a health and family-friendly perspective, it may feel a bit restrictive for guests looking to fully unwind in an open-air setting. That said, the overall experience—from the location and food to the service and accommodation—was excellent. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and beachfront charm make it a worthwhile choice for couples or anyone seeking a relaxing island escape."

"I lived on the island for a few days. A few days ago, I was in other hotels by the beach. The humidity and darkness are very uncomfortable. Because it is convenient to take a boat the next day, I changed to this hotel near the dock and the main street on the last day. Its decoration style is simple and clean. The bedding is soft. There is a bad place. The seal is not very good. Someone in the next room is smoking on the balcony. The smell is uncomfortable. I also heard the next door quarreling. The soundproofing of the room is not good. Try to keep your voice as low as possible. Maybe I will choose to live in this area next time. It seems to be a relatively balanced choice on Samet Island."

"Avatara Resort, Koh Samed: A Family-Friendly Beach Getaway Rating: 4/5 stars Koh Samed perfectly captures that quintessential island tourist vibe, and Avatara Resort delivers a solid family-friendly beach experience right in the heart of it all. Location & Beach Access The resort's prime beachfront location is undoubtedly its strongest asset. Situated directly by a beautiful stretch of shallow, crystal-blue waters, it offers safe and perfect conditions for family sea bathing. The convenience factor is excellent – you're just a two-minute walk from the famous Sai Kaew Beach, the iconic Mermaid Monument, and the bustling Silversand Resort area. Accommodation & Ambience While the resort building itself shows its age, the refurbished rooms create a lovely ambience with beautiful lighting that transforms the older structure into something quite charming. We stayed on the third floor, which offered peaceful mountain views overlooking the national park forest rather than beach views. The setting is genuinely calm and quiet – exactly what we wanted for a family retreat. Important consideration: There's no elevator, so reaching upper floors requires quite a climb. As we joked, shuttling between the room and outside areas four times daily provides a workout in itself! This makes the resort unsuitable for elderly guests or anyone with mobility issues. Dining Experience The breakfast experience is delightful, served in a beachside restaurant where you can enjoy your meal with sand between your toes. The selection impresses with a good range of both Western and Thai options, including fresh fruits. The resort's beach restaurant serves quality food with excellent value for money – we tried multiple dishes and enjoyed them all. However, there's no room service, and the restaurant closes early (around 9:30-10 PM). When late-night cravings struck, we found the nearby 7-Eleven (just 5-6 minutes' walk) convenient for snacks. Room Amenities & Issues Room amenities are adequate though not luxurious. The shower area is well-designed with a spacious dressing area. However, we encountered an unpleasant odor from the bathroom drainage system that required some management during our stay. Activities & Surroundings For water activities like parasailing, snorkeling, and jet skiing, you'll need to walk to Sai Kaew Beach to find service providers – fortunately, we found excellent options there. Final Verdict Avatara Resort succeeds as a family-friendly destination that balances beachfront access, peaceful ambience, and reasonable pricing. While it has some limitations (no elevator, early restaurant closure, minor maintenance issues), the overall experience was enjoyable and memorable. Recommended for: Families seeking a calm beach getaway who don't mind some stairs and prefer a quieter resort atmosphere. Consider alternatives if: You need elevator access, late-night dining options, or luxury amenities."

"I was very pleased with my stay! The hotel is located directly on a soft white sand beach, with breathtaking views of the azure sea and blue sky. We stayed in a deluxe sea view room with an unparalleled balcony view, and watching the sunset in the evening was a true delight. The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel right at home from check-in to check-out. The breakfast was hearty, especially the freshly prepared local specialties, which were incredibly authentic. The hotel's infinity pool was a real highlight, perfect for photo ops. The only downside was that during peak season, the poolside area can be a bit noisy. Overall, however, the experience was fantastic and definitely worth the money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and I'll definitely be back!"

"The hotel is new, all the bath accessories are there, no need to bring a bunch of bubbles with you. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, brushes, pastes, cotton swabs. Clean, nice, hot water! Clean bed linen, towels! Comfortable pillows) complimentary upon arrival - chips, hot chocolate) Breakfast is decent - and coffee and juice and water will be brought to you, and food similar to English breakfast. You will be given a voucher for sun loungers! The location is ideal - the center of all the action, but at the same time quiet and calm at night, you can't hear the music. The only thing that slightly spoiled the impression is the employee who receives guests. We had to leave the island at 16:30, came to extend until 16:00 hotel, translated our request with the help of a translator with sound, since for some reason she could not just read from the screen what was written there in Thai. In general, as it turned out, she nodded to us that we could stay until 4 pm, agreed and announced the surcharge, but in the end we still paid 3 times more than what was announced, since in fact, when checking out, she told us that we misunderstood her) The surcharge for every half hour of room extension is 200 baht. Be prepared that the receptionist simply will not understand you, the dialogue will be difficult. Neither Russian nor English, only Thai with voice acting. Translation difficulties, costs)) But despite this pun with the check-out, we really liked everything and recommend the hotel. By the way, we did not have any neighbors, we were alone, no one made noise, everything is just perfect!"

"The service was excellent. I accidentally left something in my room, and a staff member quickly ran to bring it to me. The staff were lovely, and the view was absolutely stunning."

"Lovely location with beach access. We stayed in a Cottage room, which had a large king-size bed and a single bed. The mattress was firm. Although the room was more than adequate for our stay, it is not luxurious. No room service is provided, but rooms are cleaned daily. Breakfast was included and offered thai food and western based breakfast items ( although it was luke warm at best) The dinner menu was very thai, fish based, but they did have pizzas or burger and bbq items. I ate mainly thai. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, although a couple of times we ordered food or drink for it to never appear. Beach .. sea was lovely and clear , and sand was soft and clean. You can walk over to the neighbouring bay for more restaurant options. The usual downer is the people that insist on reserving sunbeds and barely using them... frustrating when they are unused for 4 or more hours."

"Been to Samed Cabana on numerous occasions and really can't beat the Beachfront cabanas. However it's really disappointing and irritating to meet an unfriendly staff at the lobby. Poor service skills and definitely not the Thai way to greet guests. Hotel needs to seriously consider changing the front office manager. All the other staff are great except for one dinner where I had given them food to warm (food for my kids) and they served it to another guests! And I can speak Thai! Absolutely ridiculous. Shall return provided front office goes through a hospitality course."

"1. **Hotel Location:** The hotel is situated on a small beach, just a short distance from Diamond Beach, which is only about a 6-7 minute walk away. The 7-Eleven on the main street is also roughly a ten-minute walk. 2. **Hotel Environment & Facilities:** The setting is lovely; it operates as a resort. I stayed in a standalone bungalow, surrounded by garden paths. It's very close to the sea; you can reach the beach within two or three minutes of stepping out of your room. However, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes on the island, so remember to take precautions against them. 3. **Hotel Service:** The service was good. The front desk staff were very patient and answered all my questions. I initially booked one night through Ctrip, then extended my stay by booking another night directly at the hotel. When I repeatedly compared online and offline prices and inquired at the front desk, the staff patiently addressed all my queries. When moving luggage, staff members will deliver it from the front desk to your room. Free towels are available at the front desk, and the row of beach loungers by the hotel's beach can be used for free. Just remember to return the towels to the front desk after use. 4. **Hotel Facilities & Hygiene:** The room has a hairdryer. I didn't use their toiletries, so I don't remember if they were provided. Hygiene was my biggest complaint. There might have been dust mites on the bed, as I was itching all over and couldn't sleep for both nights I stayed. **Additional Notes:** The hotel explicitly states they do not use MSG, and their own restaurant also refrains from using it, which offers peace of mind when dining. One evening, we considered trying a restaurant located near the hotel entrance (not affiliated with the hotel). When we asked if they used MSG, the waiter replied that they could note 'no MSG' for us 😓, which immediately scared us off, and we quickly left. Oh, and the hotel restaurant has a performance around 8 PM, but you need to tip the performers after the show."

"Larissa consisted of Shelley huts in stilts。 the room is clean . The staff is friendly. It’s very deep in about 15 mins from tge pier and taxi takes you to saew Kew beach hotel , you will have to walk another 5-6 mins on an uneven road . For visitors who cannot walk, the hotel is unsuitable .No breakfast and no cutlery so walk for every meal . Beach is near  ."
