Hotel Pantai di Rayong

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

Beautiful property with a stunning beach view. The resort offers complimentary kayaking activities for members and free bicycles to explore the area, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Overall, a relaxing and pleasant experience. 🌊🚴♀️

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.

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 Ao Prao hotel is a gem.  The tomyum soup is the best in the world. The property is immaculate and the massage was fantastic. Our room was 101 and the best location on the property. The staff is exceptional and will bend over backwards for you. Zann and Ti are so helpful. The problem is the pollution and trash in the ocean. The hotel is excellent but the water is less than desirable for a holiday.

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.

The resort is close to the beach so it is really convenient to chill at the beach. Overall experience is great and close with a lot of restaurants along the Sai Kaew Beach.

We recently stayed at Samet Cabana Resort on Ao Wong Duean, and it was exactly the tropical escape we were looking for. We booked the Beach Cabana, and we cannot recommend it enough. The Room: Staying in the Beach Cabana meant waking up to the sound of the waves every morning. Stepping out onto the porch with a view of the ocean was the highlight of the trip. The room was clean, comfortable, and had that authentic island bungalow feel while still having modern amenities (the AC worked great!). Being just a few steps from the water made all the difference. The Location: Ao Wong Duean is a fantastic beach, it’s lively enough to have good restaurants and fire shows at night, but much more relaxed than the busy main pier area. The water was clear and great for swimming right in front of the resort. Service & Food: The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, from check-in to check-out. The breakfast buffet had a good mix of options to start the day. If you are coming to Koh Samet, do yourself a favour and splurge a little for the Beach Cabana. It transforms the trip from a standard hotel stay into a real beach holiday. We’ll definitely be back!

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.

Nice resort on a fine beach, it's well designed with majority of the rooms facing the swimming pool The only downside may be it is not connected to the drop off point, and there isn't much choice for the breakfast
