I found this hotel to be quite disappointing overall. While the location was a big plus being right next to the beach, the rooms were small and the experience was not up to par for the price. The service I received was often rude and unhelpful, which really detracted from the stay. The food options were limited and did not impress me at all. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a more satisfying experience.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The bungalows were lovely and just a short walk from a vibrant beach filled with restaurants. However, I was disappointed with the service as some staff were inattentive. The food could have been better, and I found it overpriced compared to what we received. While the location is definitely a highlight, the overall experience left a bit to be desired.

My first visit to Koh Samet was a mixed bag. I loved the clean and well-serviced rooms, and the beach location was perfect for everything. However, the service I encountered was a letdown at times, and the dining options left much to be desired. Despite the setbacks, I'm looking forward to a potential return visit.

I had a decent lunch experience at this place, enjoying the relaxing ambience and beach setup. However, the service was lacking some attentiveness, and the food didn't wow me. The price was reasonable for what we got, but overall, it was just okay without anything special to recommend it further.

We ordered yellow curry chicken with rice and thick noodle stir-fried vegetables. The curry was a bit sweet, and the coconut smoothie was bland, which didn't leave a great impression.
