Ulasan New Star Beach Resort

We stayed at New Star from late April to early May. The hotel is located on Chaweng Noi Beach, which, in our opinion, is the best beach for swimming, clear water, seclusion, and hotel quality. New Star itself consists of several small buildings, bungalows, and villas nestled on a hillside that slopes down to the beach, featuring a huge panoramic pool. The way everything is built and covered by lush vegetation is so intricate that even by the end of our stay, we could still get a little lost looking for our room. The room layout and amenities make for a very comfortable stay, and the housekeeping is excellent. Breakfasts were perfectly adequate and fitting for the hotel's star rating, with various dim sum options available. The staff were incredibly attentive, responding to every request instantly and always with a smile. They even celebrated my birthday with a complimentary cake. There were always plenty of free sun loungers available on the beach and by the pool, and the tree canopies provided reliable shade from the sun. We visited the gym twice a day; there were enough machines and equipment, and water, towels, and disinfectants were provided. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a peaceful, relaxed getaway on a beautiful beach.

The main advantage of this hotel is, of course, its location. Chaweng Noi Beach is wonderfully uncrowded, allowing us to relax in almost complete solitude. The hotel restaurant's menu is average, both in terms of variety and quality. The rooms are a bit dated, but after spending all day on the beach, you hardly notice.

Not very expensive good old hotel, great quiet beach with a lot of plants. Highly recommend!

Large resort area in tropical setting with smaller apartment buildings and houses which makes it very quiet and peaceful, morning sun wakes you up early with lots of birds singing. Breakfast restaurant is great with good selection, pool bar is a little too expensive, but happy hour between 15-17. Fitness is ok but with basic machines needing a little update. Small walk through the garden down to the private beach and restaurant, entire beach only has 4-5 other very quiet hotels. Main hotel entrance from main road, only option as all other hotels also have private roads from and to the beach, which is normal in Samui but also annoying. Once you walk to the main road it has several good restaurants, 7-11 and ATMs. Walk to downtown is possible but takes 30-40 minutes, not really made for pedestrians. We stayed 8 nights and would return due to peaceful setting and beach.

We had a wonderful stay in New Star Beach resort. Food is very good and the resort is very clean and well maintained. 😊

The price/quality ratio was fine. It wasn't a top-notch hotel, but it wasn't bad either. The staff were always friendly ☺️. We had booked a lodge, and there's definitely room for improvement there. Everything felt a bit rickety. The door to the outdoor shower squeaked quite a lot, and the rooms were too dark (even with all the lights on). The beach could also do with being cleaner. It would be a small effort to properly clean the beach every morning/evening to remove all the plastic and rubbish that washes ashore. All in all, it was a decent hotel with very lovely staff.

This hotel is located on a wide, quiet sandy beach and met all our needs for a relaxing getaway. The spacious rooms, excellent service, and very friendly staff across all facilities are particularly noteworthy. During our stay (January 2026), the guests were mainly couples seeking peace and quiet. There are hardly any recreational activities offered within the hotel; the small fitness area was mostly empty. The ping-pong table could/should be replaced, and we didn't notice any other offerings during our visit. There are various restaurants within easy walking distance in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.

The hotel is old, the rooms are dark, and the staff is terrible.

Good: Staff, breakfast, sun loungers Bad: Everything is worn down, it does not look like pictures! All wooden structures is rotten, paint is falling off etc - looks like no maintaince for 20 years. Food is terrible (tried chicken satay, thaifood and spagetti - only French fries was good) Paid 150euro/night - was worth 1/3 of that I will never come back.

My stay here was amazing! Service was fantastic I was well taken care of. Food and other amenities here were all great and the facilities were all top notch. Highly recommend

The Hotel is very nice. The beach is very clean and the pool is also very nice. The rooms are good we only had one time ants on one of the beds. But the staff immediately solved the issue. The restaurant is good the food is good. The breakfast was very good. The personal was always friendly and helpful. All together a nice stay.

Extremely friendly and professional staff, super clean, very spacious rooms

Friendly staff and delicious food and drinks in the onsite restaurant.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, always with a smile and right attitude. The food is good although the menu is a bit limited, should have more choices. The internet signal and speed were quite weak and frustrating at times. Everything else was great, the resort is quite beautiful and my favorite on the whole beach. Jay (the general manager) was phenomenal and very attentive. Really great place to stay.
