Hotel Pantai di Koh Samet

Situated on the quieter,  west side of Ko Samet ,Le Vinarm Cottage and Spai s a lovely hotel to unwind and enjoy peace and quiet. You are collected at Ao Prao pier and transfer via the hotel speed boat  It has a good sized pool and a very nice restaurant ; breakfast offerings are extensive and the menu for evening meals has both Thai and western dishes. All are delicious! There is access to the way aside of the island via taxi which we'd recommend rather than walking as it's about 3km over hilly terrain. This is ideal if you fancy eating at more restaurants. We had a lovely, relaxing break at Le Vinarm and would thoroughly recommend.

The Samed Resorts group offers the guests a free boat shuttle service to Samed Island (even free car parking), which I find very convenient. The staff helped us loading the baggage to the boat and from the boat to the hotel. Ban Ploy sea is located right next to the pier with a few minutes walk. The check-in went smoothly. The staff was so helpful and friendly. He even offered me an upgrade room with the sea front view for 2 nights. The room was clean and comfy. At the back of the resort is a log house cafe, offering tasty cakes and fancy drinks. I feel really relaxed lying on a private beach. In the evening we were so lazy to go out, just had dinner at the hotel‘s restaurant every night. It was not cheap but everything was delicious. Overall, we are very satisfied. Highly recommended!

Having decided to extend our stay in this hotel we enjoyed the variety of choice at breakfast and the quality of the food. The evening entertainment was of a high standard with live music. The fire show was spectacular and the restaurant well placed to enjoy the entertainment. However you'd be advised to book a table as it's busy in the evenings and because of this the service comes under pressure. Good lunchtime food gives a welcome break from the beach. This hotel is superb if you want want the convenience everything under one roof. We would definitely recommend

I stayed here for a few days with friends. We checked in on a Sunday and the staff was able to put our 4 rooms together. So the patio space outside our rooms felt like a shared living room, it was lovely. The resort is right beside the beach, which was a relief because I have some limited mobility. Bed was comfy, shower was hot, included some water and snacks each day. The staff was amazing booking my return to Bangkok after checkout. They handled booking the speed boat ride and taxi to pick me up at the mainland. No stress!

We booked the room with the breakfast included for 2 adults because our daughter doesn’t wake up for breakfast and doesn’t really like what’s on offer for breakfast. Upon check in we were charged for her breakfast anyway even I explained she will not come for breakfast. In the morning we decided to give a go. The breakfast is nothing to be excited about. Not much choice and the quality of food is very low. Even fried eggs are over cooked to a rubbery consistency and cold. Scrambled eggs looks horrible. Coffee tastes bad (sour). There is no option to book without breakfast. The room is tired and needs a good cleaning. All the furniture is moulded. Linenswith marks on them. I really dont understand the price of 250 usd per night for this service. In the room they offer used rubber flip flops wouldn’t dare to wear it ashtray not cleaned from the previous customers - we don’t smoke

The staff is really helpful and will go all the way to make you feel welcome. The facilities are great. I appreciated the calm and exclusivity of the beach. I had to change my room because they gave me a twin bed ( and I'm travelling alone ) but I noticed that both the bathroom had the same issue : The sink is not as clean as you'd like to. In my first room, whenever I showered all the bathroom is flooded because of the door or maybe the whole design of the showed. That being said, I've enjoyed my stay and would've stayed longer if I could. It's frankly a good hotel, and the food is really delicious. 

Выбирали отель по отзывам, но ошиблись. Ориентировались на Основные отзывы: тишина. Для нас было важно. Но это место у порта и поэтому шум был круглосуточный. Ночью меньше. В 5 утра просыпались от жуткого гула катеров. Мы жили в 17 домике. Советую брать домики по дальше максимально, если все же захотите тут жить. К самому отелю претензий нет, соответствует своим деньгам. Горячая вода есть, чистое белье, удобная кровать, кондиционер хорошо работает. Не хватает тумбочек, но места мало для этого. В принципе есть место в шкафу. Розеток мало, как и везде. Вид шикарнейший, просто кайф. И заручайтесь спреем от камаров, тут их много.

Amazing hotel! The room was large and comfortable. Bathroom was nice and spacious. Had a nice balcony. The restaurant’s food is really delicious. The location was great with a private beach. You can rent a scooter and go around the island. I will stay here again definitely. It has a nice nightlife atmosphere, they have a dj on with good music although it can get really loud so I recommend that if this is an issue to ask for a room farther away from the beach.

Second line from the beach, communal pool and dining areas are stuffed with people, light in some rooms is not good, they open onto internal passageways so people walking by regularly doesn’t make it very peaceful. Good to use as a beach base and exploring other places nearby.

The hotel is lovely, and the traditional wooden bungalow is perfect for a solo traveler, what was not great is the constant music till 10 at night, if you are looking for peace and quiet this is not the place to stay. Starting at 5 you have the saxophone player, followed by a one man band, then the fire show, and then the one man’s band again till 10- to 10.30. It repeats the same format every night, so you have to make sure you are away from it. The way the resort is set out, it’s hard to escape the constant noise. 5 days of this and I need another vacation just from the lack of sleep. If you like the constant party vibe then you will love it. I would think they just save their money, do one massive fire show on the weekend, and have chill during the early week days.
