Hotels in Bo Phut, Koh Samui

Celes Samui is a great hotel in a lovely, quiet, and relaxing spot — just a 10-minute walk from Fisherman’s Village. The rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. The restaurant food was delicious and breakfasts were very good. The beds are quite firm, which may not suit everyone, though the bedding itself was very good. The staff experience was mixed. Some were absolutely wonderful — especially the girl with the short dark hair at reception, who was friendly and helpful every day, along with the restaurant staff and the guys on the front gate. However, others weren’t as friendly, and at times even came across as aggressive. Check-in and check-out weren’t overly welcoming, and one housekeeper was very abrupt when I asked for extra towels and refused to leave until I gave her two towels which I didn’t actually have! The beach is beautiful to look at, but after about a metre in, the bottom is slimy, which made swimming less enjoyable. Because of this, we left for a few days to enjoy Lamai, which has a much more breathtaking beach. It’s a short cab ride away. All in all, I would still recommend Celes Samui — it’s a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with clean rooms and excellent food. But I didn’t find the staff friendliness as consistent as other reviewers have described, which was a bit disappointing.

Fast check in. Room available early. House keeping to the highest standards. Safe for children and kids club is one the was made with kids in mind first rather than an add on later. Much entertainment included, film nights with pop corn stands and buffets, neon disco, and buffet breakfast with a wide variety of international food and treats however, this list is not limited. Special requests were always met and exceeded my expectations. The location is directly on the strip of Fisherman’s Village, and close to CoCoTams where there is a fire show each night. To Chewang area, it is a 15 minute taxi/tactic ride. VIP taxi outside resort cost 500tbh (€6) for 1 adult and 1 child. Finally, the nights sleep was bliss. I wish I could have brought home the pillows.

A stunning villa, all new, comfortable. Style details. The pool is clean. The workers tried to make the rest as comfortable as possible, congratulated on their birthday. Just a couple of days off the sea in a private setting excellent!

This hotel was exactly what we hoped for cozy, luxurious, and worth every penny. Our sea-view room was spotless, bright, and had an amazing view from the terrace. There’s even a semi-private beach, which made the stay even more special. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast didn’t have a huge selection, but everything was delicious. Plus, the location is great- just minutes from Bangrak Pier for easy trips to Koh Phangan and only an 8-minute drive to Fisherman’s Village. Highly recommend:)

I had a great stay at ibis Samui Bophut. It’s a solid choice if you're looking for a clean, comfortable beachfront hotel without breaking the bank. The location is excellent—right on the beach and just a short walk or drive to Fisherman’s Village. The beachfront is quiet and peaceful, with beautiful views and plenty of space to relax. Rooms are compact but smartly designed. Everything was clean and well-maintained, with daily housekeeping. The bed was comfortable, and the air-conditioning worked perfectly. I especially appreciated the balcony with a view of the sea and garden. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available to assist. Check-in was smooth, and the team was quick to offer suggestions for local food and transport. The pool area is a highlight—large, clean, and facing the beach. There are loungers around both the pool and the beach, so it's easy to find a spot to unwind. Breakfast was decent with a mix of Thai and international options. Nothing fancy, but enough to start the day. Overall, ibis Samui Bophut delivers great value for money. It’s ideal for travelers who want a beachfront hotel with essential comforts, a nice pool, and a relaxed vibe.

The breakfast was below average, I wish that there was more Thai food, and that they changed what was on offer, it would help if the menu was changed daily. The waiters were super kind, friendly and helpful, always with a smile on their face, and trying to engage with us. The room was fairly comfortable though we did have issues with the water in the shower, not going down the drain. I did ask for someone to check it out and on the first day it worked but throughout the stay we still had a problem with the drainage. The pool is opposite the hotel, you need to cross the road to get there, please keep this in mind. We hired our own car, and parked on the property which was locked and we had peace of mind.

Great hotel with great and attentive service as well as very clean facilities. We've been welcomed very warmly by all the staff at the reception. Our room had a great and straight view on the sea, located just above the pool. The hotel itself is build on a hill and it's not easy to walk up to the rooms, however, the staff is always ready and offering shuttle service which is great.  Our room was very clean, the bathroom offered enough space. The only thing I wish could have been provided were some more toiletries (such as tooth brush, comb and a shaver). Breakfast selection on the buffet was quite limited but sufficient for a 3-4 days stay. Besides that there was an a la carte Egg Dish menu, which was very nice. Recommend the Egg Benedict, these were poached daily perfectly.  The location of the hotel slightly remote but quiet on the other hand. Plus, there's a van shuttle service twice a day and hotel itself provides drop offs down to the main road whenever needed. Bike rental is just bedside the hotel, which made it even more convenient.  Overall a great time at the Mantra Hotel, can only recommend. 

The lobby was spectacular. We arrived at night but it still can tell that the hotel was clean and large. The employees were friendly and they always had wore a big smile on their faces. The room was clean and tidy, which had a big open shower space. Taking a shower with air conditioner was a little chilly but it was totally tolerable because the whether was so hot outside. Swimming pool was stunning with a wide view of ocean. It was pity that we cannot arrive sooner to enjoy the sunset in the pool. We will definitely consider staying more days at Hansar next time.😄

From the minute we arrived to when we left, the service and staff were excellent. We have to give a huge shout out to Cleo. Her customer service skills are outstanding. She was there when we arrived & provided great info & hospitality, as we were early. She was also there when we left & came to say ‘goodbye’. The room was spacious & had everything we needed, umbrellas and a beach bag! The breakfast had an excellent choice and bar food very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we would recommend & we will return. Thank you 🙏
