October 17, 2011 by Collin Anthony Newman Visit Date:October 9, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The resort was beautiful and modern. The location was superior and the service was exceptional. We had a wonderful time in Koh Samet and the Saikaew Beach Resort was the reason." |
by James Marshall Visit Date:September 23, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "In our opinion this is the best hotel on the island and we have stayed in a few. However the is a huge difference between the old bungalows and the new side of the hotel.
We stayed in the new premier sea view, huge rooms with mood lighting etc, limited sea view because of the trees but really 5 star.
Very attentive staff who really seem to enjoy their jobs. The transfers, included in the price, were so professional never had to touch our suitcases.
It was a little expensive and would propbabley book the rooms by the pool next time as they are almost as big and represent better value for money, however if you want to spoil yourself for a few days go for the premier.
Great location on a powder white beach, easy walking distance to resturants and bars and the famous fire show if you want it.
Wish we were back there now.... <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
by Andrew Claassen Visit Date:September 20, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Michael. We were very pleased with the cottage & its proximity to the beach. The breakfast was of a very high standard. From the time we arrived at the pier office and until we departed, our experience was hassle free. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

by Aashish Bhatnagar Visit Date:September 17, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "I was quite surprised to see that a wonderful place like Koh Samet exist so close to Bangkok. White pristine beach and not crowded. The resort is nicely done and is probably the biggest and best on the Sai Kaew Beach. I and my family enjoyed our stay there. Rooms are fine and clean, service very good, pools are clean and good breakfast. Mosquito are all around but they promptly provided spray in the room, but need to ensure doors stays closed all time. I will recommend putting clear detail of the complementary ferry pick-up point and details. I had to call to the Hotel to get details but it was quite smooth. They even quickly arranged transport from the Bus Stand to Pier. Rooms are quite expensive compared to options close by. When I am coming back I am staying in same resort." |

by Traveller Visit Date:August 21, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The hotel is very nice, great beach, great location, great restaurant and bar. But you must upgrade to poolside or seaside villa. We booked a deluxe cottage and it was old, dark, mildewy with a horrible bathroom. They showed us the poolside room which was modern and new and said we could upgrade for 1000 THB a night. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

excellent, except we were not told of the free ferry service at the time and, which pier to go to., August 10, 2011 by Jean Davies Visit Date:August 7, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We were upgraded to de-luxe bungalows.
These are in need of up grading.
None of the window blinds worked properly. The shower was always cold, and the water came out at a trickle.
there were only 2 plugs. One on a wall where no lead could reach and not close to a shelf to put anything on. To use the kettle you had to use the plug that was round at the dressing table. 2 days I had to ask for the tea & coffee packs.
On the day of arrival we went for dinner to the main restaurant. It was 7.00pm. Everything we chose on the menu they didn t have. I ended up with my 4th choice. My son arrive the following lunchtime. On the beach menu they only have either club sandwich, cheese burger, noodles or fish and chips. That day, they were out of cheeseburgers.
The breakfast is very good with a wide selection of food. My only complaint was that the ham and cheese and salads were not covered and, were always covered in flies. The bowl of peppers had ants in. Everything else was covered and very nice.
Despite these problems, the staff were very helpfull and obliging, the beach is wonderful and we had a lovely holiday. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
by Rune Slinning Visit Date:August 5, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We were looking for a location close to Bangkok to avoid having to fly to our destination as we were travelling with 3 children. Were very pleased to find Koh Samet only 2.5 hour drive from airport to Rayong and then 30 minutes on boat. We booked our transport through Sawadee and the drivers were to be commended on their responsible and safe driving. There is a nice air-conditioned transit lounge at the pier where our luggage was taken care of while we went for lunch whilst waiting for the boat. Can recommend lunch at Mac Garden Resort & Restaurant (Walk to left when you have transit lounge behind you and it is on the other side of the road about 300 meters from lounge). The Saikaew Beach Resort was very tastefully designed with a range of accommodation from traditional beach bungalows, to hotel rooms and the Premier Rooms we stayed in. These rooms were huge and really nicely designed and located right by the pool. We booked am extra bed and our youngest children shared our bed. There was also a sofa which could be made up as a bed in the room. Very friendly service from all staff at the resort and a nice range of activities to choose from on the beach( Massage, kayaking, paragliding, jet-ski). Nice safe swimming at the beach. Great to walk along the beach at night and have a drink or eat out at the restaurants right on the sand and catch the fire shows at 9pm. Only down side was the hair raising drive from the boat to the hotel. The kids thought it was great to sit in the back of an open pickup but as a parent I didn t feel safe with the speed these guys were driving at along a pretty rough road. Lovely place to chill out and get away from it all. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
