"The room was clean and tidy, and there's a swimming pool downstairs. It's about a 300-meter walk to the beach, and you'll pass a 7-Eleven-like convenience store on the way.

Chaweng Cove Beach Resort
9.4 (213 reviews)

Chaweng Cove Beach Resort ★★★

📍 17 4 Chaweng Beach Rd, Bo Put, Koh Samui

"This is a good place, with excellent service, but the rooms desperately need renovation. The bathroom, and especially the shower, no longer meet minimum standards. The window didn't have a handle, and that's the only way to ventilate the room. I stayed at this hotel two years ago, and they were remodeling, but it seems they only did the rooms facing the beach. The breakfast was good. The location is fine; it's quieter south of Chaweng. The pool is good too. The bar is beautiful."

J4 Samui Hotel

"J4 Samui Hotel & Resort – Highly Recommended First of all, I would like to say a big thank you to a staff member named Bew. She is absolutely fantastic. I accidentally left my bank cards in an envelope inside the safety box. She tried to contact me when I was already in Bangkok, and then kindly sent everything to my address in Bangkok. I truly appreciate what she did — 5-star customer service for her. The room was small but very cozy. I loved the candle scent in the room; it was so relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was modern and extremely clean. I also liked the old-style furniture, which gave a very traditional Thai feeling. The location is excellent — only a 1-minute walk to the beach. I had a great stay for 4 nights and would definitely recommend this hotel. I would happily stay here again."

"Nice and clean, comfy bungalows with modern styling bathroom with bathtub, sink and toilet with peekaboo windows from room, and outdoor shower with rack for hanging wet towels and swimming wear. Nice terrace with table and chairs to sit outside and enjoy fresh morning air, and lovely evenings. The staff is very friendly and the ladies in the restaurant were very gracious. The 3 tiered pools were lovely with gorgeous view.  The middle one needed some cleaning of leaves that blew down from the wind. The hot water filled only half the tub, but after waiting 15min the water heater was able to fill up the rest of the tub, which was enjoyable and worth the extra effort. Good value and comfortable."

Crystal Lamai Hotel Hotels in Koh Samui

"The good thing about the hotel is that it is relatively quiet. The pool was nice. The gym was very barebone, however, with almost no equipment inside. It is not located on the beach, you need to walk about 10 minutes, which is not bad. However, there is no place for you to sit on the beach as almost everywhere is occupied by bars or beach front resorts. The main problem I found with the hotel is its surrounding and its location. The hotel is not located at the lively market which is much further away and difficult to access by walking due to heavy traffic (I had to go to the beach every day and walk along the shore). I really struggled to find good food near the hotel and only had an ice cream for lunch. Also the hotel is located quite far from almost all attractions in Lamai aside from the beach, such as Guan-Yu shrine, red temple, Hin Ta Hin Yai, etc., and the taxi is very costly here. Also if you want to go to Chaweng beach it's almost 400 baht by taxi. I would recommend this hotel provided you have your own mode of transportation."

"The hotel was nice, but needs upgrading as the room was partially updated, but they should have done it all, as it looks odd. Identity was not clear as looked old and new as the same time. Hot water was not working for 2 days of the stay. Service was good overall and porters took our bags to room which was great as there were lots of steps and our room was at the end of the complex. The door to room was old and opening the door was an art. Rooms were large and beds comfortable. I think the worst part was we went to the BBQ and fire show on the last night. We thought as we were going on flight to the net island we would be safe at the hotel. I had the seafood BBQ and the food tasted and looked overcooked. I ate some but left quite a bit. In the night is was very ill and in the morning i told the staff as we left. She rang the manager and she said that they could not do anything as nobody else has been ill and reported it. It was 6am as we had an early flight. I have been to many hotels and if this was the case, they would have accepted my word. I was not after the refund of the meal as this would not help my situation. But more the acknowledgement of their failure to provide quality food on the night, especially considering the rating of the hotel. I ended up being ill for another night. I could not eat for another day and i had a trip to Phi Phi island the following day. I was up all night, but with medication i was able to go on the trip. I dont think the hotel realised the impact their poor food had on my experience and holiday. I would say it was very poor service and if nobody else complained, as most people dont, they would not accept responsibility. Also, they put the onus on my to email them to see if anyone else was ill, before they would do anything. That is just terrible customer service. Who ever the manager is need to be retrained and taught about how to treat customers who have had a bad experience."

Chaweng Cove Beach Resort ★★★
"Cons: 1. The biggest issue: the king-size bed is made up of two single beds pushed together, with two mattresses and two mattress toppers. This setup doesn't create a single, unified surface, resulting in a sloped gap in the middle. If you're sleeping three to a bed (with a child) or as a couple cuddling, someone will end up in that gap. I slept like that for all six nights and woke up with a sore back. This is the biggest drawback of this hotel, and I wouldn't recommend it if this is a critical factor for you. 2. The bed linen and towels often look worn out (not pristine white). 3. The doors (entrance, bathroom) have sagged. There's a finger-width gap between the door and the frame. This means all the mosquitoes will be in your room. 4. There's no ventilation in the room at all. The only window is fixed shut. So, to get fresh air into the room, you have to live with the door open. 5. The family deluxe bungalows are separated from the road by a wall. You sit on your veranda and stare at this wall. It feels like being in a concrete box. If they put some ivy on it, the view would be much better. 6. The breakfasts are average; there's room for improvement. There's no variety. The croissants are dense and cottony, and the muffins are heavy. There's no choice for children at all – they should add waffles and pancakes to the menu. The omelet, however, is tasty. 7. The bungalows are clustered together, with little privacy between them. 8. They don't set up tables on the sand (on the beach) in the evenings – it would have been nice to have that for a romantic dinner. 9. The hotel lacks Thai soulfulness in its decor and small details. Pros: 1. Well-maintained green grounds. The gardener does a great job. 2. Good room cleaning. 3. The hotel grounds are clean. 4. Good beach. Good sun loungers (though some are already torn at the feet and breaking down). 5. Beautiful restaurant (veranda area). 6. The family deluxe bungalow is spacious (we stayed with an 11-year-old child and it was comfortable). 7. The bungalow is very bright, with many good light sources. 8. Good service at reception. 9. They congratulated me with a cake for my birthday – a nice touch."

Bhundhari Chaweng Beach Resort Koh Samui ★★★
"Overall it's a really mixed experience. The room was comfortable, and the AC adequate. Unfortunately it's also a pretty shabby looking places, the bathroom was frankly disgusting, and on more than one occasion the bathroom ceiling leaked liquid like a waterfall, as though the person above was overflowing a running bath. This happened even after staff came to fix it one night. The staff are really nice and the housekeeping team are good, it just really needs a full renovation."
