Find3-Star Hotels in Koh Samet

"A very disappointing stay and would not recommend it to anyone. The accommodation is very tired and in need of an extensive overhaul. We felt very enclosed in the room with no view other than other rooms and peoples washing . We were expecting a pretty little, scenic climb to our room but it was not like that at all. We paid top price for a poor standard of accommodation and lots of bad smells at times. On a plus side the staff were a lovely and the beach area is pretty but very squashed in."

"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."

"It's a nice resort but needs to be refurbished. Staff are not the friendliest. Access to the resort is a little difficult. Food is really good at the restaurant"

"Great resort. Very friendly staff at reception. They allowed us to leave our bags behind the reception desk, as we arrived two hours before check-in time. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Buffet breakfast had good variety and was very tasty. Will definitely return and book Tonsak again."

"Our absolute favorite on Koh Samed. The beach is perfect size, white sand, crystal waters and beautifully calm. The hotel is situated just on the beach so the breakfast views are stunning, it’s only two steps from the restaurant onto the sand and the many beach beds. Breakfast is ok, the Thai food is good. The staff are always fabulous and can’t do enough for you. We stayed in the standard rooms this time but they were not as nice as the bungalows."

"First about the location: the beach is excellent. White fine sand, gentle entry into the water, no jet skis, boats, etc., the beach is cleaned. On the beach there is only this hotel and several restaurants and bars. One of the bars is run by an Italian who enjoys chatting with visitors, I recommend stopping by. You can easily go to the neighboring, larger beach, which seemed worse in quality: stronger waves, more coral debris. The location is a definite plus. The hotel restaurant also deserves a very high rating. Really tasty, excellent presentation of dishes, reasonable prices. The only negative is the staff who do not speak (except Thai, and even then, I'm not sure they understood Thai). At the slightest thing - they call the bartender for help and because of this there are difficulties with communication when ordering. About the room: the curtains do not completely close, you can see in the photo. Completely broken plumbing in the shower (guys, what are you doing, are you serious?), clogged sink by the time we checked in. Thresholds in the house that you trip over at night. No insect repellent (!) - buy your own or spray it on the bar counter (are you serious, in the jungle not to have cheap mosquito repellent in your room?). My seaview villa was the last one and I do not recommend it - there is a garbage dump behind it and next to it a Thai house where chickens and roosters live, starting to scream at 4 am right next to you. It is better to take not the last house, but the previous one. The glass on the veranda and in the house itself, it seems, has never been washed or has stopped doing it a long time ago. You sit and look at the sea, and the level of the dirty glass fence is higher than the chair. This is a definite minus, they do not clean at all, although they gladly took the tips. Also, on the territory of the hotel there is a smell of either sewage or stagnant water. The wireless Wi-Fi network is slow. I do not want the review to sound like a devastating one. Despite all the shortcomings, I liked it here, I just expected a higher level of service from a pretty good resort. I hope the guys will improve the quality."

"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."

"Chef in kitchen on egg station was extremely rude and I had to speak to guest relations manager twice about his attitude. It didn't help and he still smirked while ignoring me chatting to him to get more waffles made for the waffle station"

"Koh Samet has become a tourist destination and everything is expensive, whereas hotels and other things seem cheaper in Phuket. I went to Koh Samet because it's close to Bangkok, but it might be better to choose a different beach."

"Newly renovated rooms; comfortable & cleaned. Beautiful private peaceful beach. All the hotel staff that we had contacted did excellent jobs. Enjoyed live music & a fire show in the evening. We gave 200 THB to the fire show men. Frankly speaking, their fire show skills are much better than Hawaii. (Except, no hip dance) It would be nice if the other hotel guests would have given them some tips, too. Everything was good, except the music at the restaurant by the beach was a bit too loud. I will return to stay at this hotel again if I go to Samed next time."
