Hotel dengan WiFi di Koh Samet

First, I chose Koh Samet because I asked a local Thailand friend which island has not been overdeveloped since my early days coming to Thailand in the 1990s. His response was ”head to Koh Samet”. I looked for a value hotel on one of the more southern, less developed beaches which led me to Wong Duean Bay and the Vongdeuan Resort. The pool was a big draw. With the low tide being pretty extreme, it is really nice to have the salt water pool to cool off in and swim laps. The food seemed pretty authentic to me. With mainly Thai visitors coming in on the weekends it figures the food would be good at the Vongdeuan Resort. :) The staff were wonderful and always so fun to share a story or two with. The beach area all along the bay was extremely clean with no plastic on the beach or garbage in the water. This is a big plus when going to the shore in SE Asian countries. There are several beach restaurants but none of them had loud music, at least during the weekdays when I was there. It is definitely a sleepy and peaceful place to enjoy the water at high tide as well as the white sand beach for walks.

Удобное расположение. Практически в центре острова. Вроде бы в отдалении от шумного торгового центра, но в шаговой доступности. Вроде бы и не на пляже, но он рядом через дорогу. В номерах и в самом отеле есть всё необходимое для отдыха (включая бесплатные сапы, коврики и пляжные полотенца). К бесплатной воде в номере, бонусом идут снеки и сок в коробочках (обновляются ежедневно при уборке). Отзывчивое отношение хозяев к постояльцам. Завтраки могут показаться однообразными, но горячее под заказ и его несколько видов. Плюс наличие кофемашины на завтрак - редкость для отелей ЮВА последнего времени. При отеле есть небольшой магазин. Правда работает до 7 часов вечера и цены чуть повыше, чем в ”7/11”, но очень удобно что под рукой, в условиях острова.

This hotel has the best atmosphere on the Sai Kaew Beach, but it asking price far exceeds the value of dining and service they provide. Basically, they charge close to 5-star prices for what is essentially a pretty nice 3-star hotel. Hotel staff were fine, but the staff at the beach club, which is part of the hotel, tend to be very rude to customers. They enjoy giving guests orders that do not make much sense. Other guests got yelled at for resting their legs on a chair at the their table. I came back from the beach, dried myself and changed a shirt before sitting down on a beach towel, and I was ordered to leave (by yelling) because I'm wet. I am respectful of rules and my family and I have visited many beach front properties, I do not believe we commited any violation of etiquette. I also did not see any of these ”rules” displayed near the beach club. May be this is part of their culture at the Sai Kaew Resort, but when they ask for almost USD 20 (incl. tax) for a simple plate of pasta and YELL at customers, then none of these is acceptable. PS. We stayed over 4 nights, and the breakfast buffet was swarmed by flies every morning. Their food court style free seating arrangement means we had to awkwardly hunt down tables ourselves. Again, TOTALLY NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

The hotel has a nice and private location, although the beach is not very large. The rooms are large and have a good bathroom. The weak sides of the hotel are the high prices in the restaurant relative to comparable places in Koh Samet and the service quality of the personell at the reception and in the restaurant. It appears that they need more training. Example: at the outside buffet, the little butter plastic containers are on a plate without any cooling device (e.g., ice cubes) as of 6:30 and, moreover, placed right next to the continously running toaster, which makes the butter extremely soft. A few ice cubes and a different position would improve this so much.

This is a very nice accommodation , consisting of a a main open alley with rooms on each side of the hall way , there is a reception area which sell drinks and at the end of the short alleyway there is a lovely cafe which sell fruit, coffees, smoothies , juices , and croissants and various toasts topped with fruit etc and they sell a nice burger and chips also, this is on the beach with loungers and bean bags and other options if you want to stay off the sand , some of the staff are friendly and smiley and some are not. the rooms are cleaned when requested no problem just leave your key at reception, the location is ideal , 5 minute walk to 7/11 and the village , I have to say this accommodation is idyllic with its thatch roofs and minimalistic style , I loved it here and I will stay here again , the only negative I had about the place is they didn’t clean the rubbish from the beach , the beach is the reason we go here … only 1 or 2 businesses on this beach clean the rubbish regularly , all the others do not clean up and it is unsightly , all the businesses on this island should all make sure it is clean all of the time .

I was in Vietnam and Thailand on business, had been to this place back in December 2022 with my wife and daughter, so it was the perfect place to come for the weekend. Got a taxi from Anantara riverside resort and spa in Bangkok Saturday lunchtime to the Resort Ai Prao Pier at Rayong, 2500 thb, caught the 4pm hotel boat 660 thb for return trip. Dropped off in Ao Prao bay directly at the hotel. It makes you feel like James Bond. “Biw” greeted me like long lost friend, these are the sort of touches that make a difference to me. my cottage was 706 on the highest level with views over rooftops of cottages below and the sea. On Saturday night I eat at Kerala Coco next door, BBQ night with fire show, delicious and thrilling. the hotel has a pizza oven so I had pizza twice, the second one was a mixed seafood with huge prawns and scallops. The rooms are big, big comfortable bed, good air con, large shower, veranda with chairs and tables if you wish to watch the sunsets from there. if you have thought of going to ko samet and worry about the cost and hassle then think again, it’s super easy, wish I could have stayed for a week. I write this after catching the 3pm boat back to Rayong in the taxi.

酒店的服務還是很好的 ！！前台的小哥哥可以講一些中文 很方便～就是酒店房間還挺緊俏的 想多住一晚上的時候已經沒房間了 很滿意 👍

Чистый номер. Большая ванная комната. Отзывчивый персонал. Бюджетный вариант, для тех кому не важно наличие моря сразу у отеля. У каждого номера есть небольшая терраса со столиком и стульями. Один из немногих отелей на Самеде, в котором есть трёхместные номера.

I rated poor the restaurant not because of the food, not because of pricing BUT because staff let some people smoke right near our table and during all the time we spent at the restaurant we were annoyed by the cigarette smell. This is an open restaurant and near the sea so the wind brought right in our face the cigarette. We told the staff and for them they don’t see any problem with that. So seems smokers (who by the way was not even dining at the restaurant but just staying at the beach) are more valuable than anyone else at this place!! How this resort can authorize to let people smoke everywhere they want at the beach and right next to the restaurant? I really thought Samet Resort group was having proper service standards but actually they have not. It will be so easy to implement smoking zone near the road and a bit few steps away from the restaurant. Not sure if the management will see my feedback. Other things the restaurant was busy and not enough staff.. everyone was waiting long time for the food!! This was our first meal upon arrival at the resort and didn’t give good impression at all. Food was good, nice restaurant atmosphere next to the sea.
