Hotel berhampiran Pantai Hat Sai Kaew, Koh Samet

怎麼説呢！上沙美島前就沒有抱任何期待，樂帷幔好歹也是沙美島上第二好的度假村，整個入住下來都因為第一天安排的小屋空調壞的度假村的處理方式讓人印象不是特別好。 我們是從曼谷市區包車前往ao prao碼頭（酒店專屬碼頭，有自己的休息區）按度假村郵件給到的時間，搭乘1點半的船前往度假村，船程大概15分鐘，入住有歡迎飲品還挺好喝的～ 整個度假村不大，入住的客人不算多，從我們進屋發現空調壞了及時聯繫客房服務，從客房服務到工程部到前台再到攜程，在蒸籠一樣的房間和房間外待了一個小時才換了另一個房間，最後應該是攜程出面解決的問題，才被前台服務員帶去了新的房間….整個過程熱的人心情非常糟糕！後來前台在沙灘找到我説給我們升級一個房型帶我去看了我沒有要，因為升級的房型進去很黑出來玩還是比較喜歡四周都透亮的房間，所以婉拒了，她也告訴我會一直為我們保留這間房如果我們想搬去隨時都可以。結果因為我沒有搬，前台又來沙灘找到我説願意給我們送一份披薩作為補償，這種積極的態度還是很加分的。 在樂帷幔住了三個晚上，房間是比較簡陋的泰式木屋風格，一張一米8的床一家三口睡剛剛好，迷你吧收費，來沙美島玩一定記得帶過濾花灑。早餐幾乎每天都是一樣的，但勝在味道不錯，晚餐我們在buzz吃了一頓，味道不錯要加收10%服務費和7%的税，整體就有點小貴！度假村距離主街（有711的地方）坐車15Min（200🐷單邊），前台會幫忙喊，後來我們租了摩託車，可以停在距離前台走路2分鐘的坡道處。游泳被礁石刮傷了腳前台也幫忙簡單處理了，後面兩天住的天堂島度假村和樂帷幔説是姐妹酒店所以可以免費送過來。但是帶小朋友的話，還是更推薦天堂島度假村，環境設施和服務員各方面都更加分

Over all great experience. From the ao prao pier to kho Samet, the boat ride was smooth and when we got there, unfortunately our rooms were not ready but changed in the toilet and was able to enjoy the beach and pool while we waited. Walking distance to the down town where lots of restaurants. Hotel's restaurant was good. Delicious breakfast with many choices of bread, cheese, fruits and hot dishes. Everything was quite tasty. Dinner at the beach club Winnks was good, too.Live band performance, on site fire show. Foods were good and drinks were amazing. Maybe it is because of the season we traveled but the waves were quite strong and water did not seem clear. I have been to ao prao beach before and I believe for a family with small children, I recommend there. If you are group of friends looking for excitement, maybe here is better.

This hotel is clearly not a 4 star level. I would rate it a 2 star or 3 star max. The two good points about this hotel are its direct access to the beach and the delicious food at reasonable prices. Several negative points include the hotel being very old, old fashioned rooms, and zero hospitality services from all the staffs. There is no 24 hr. reception. If there is any emergency, you are all on your own. No one would pick up the mobile phone as well. You will never get a greeting anytime of the day starting from the reception, to house keeping staff or restaurant staffs. It clearly shows that they all have been untrained. I would recommend that you book this hotel only if you are looking for a budget, no frills hotel. If I visit Koh Samed again, I would book the 4 star hotel next door in an instant, the Samed Tamarind Resort.

Really nice stay on the beautiful island of koh samet, great resort super relaxing vibe. On the beach with a great breakfast, good massages, nice restaurant and friendly staf. Just missing a pool!

After booking, I wrote them over Trip.com, but never got an answer. When we went there personally to ask the day before check-in, the front-desk lady ripped my phone out of my hand without asking, to “check the booking”. We checked in into a room on the first floor, which was in front of a shallow pool. Room was spacious, with the bathroom divided in three sections. In the toilet section, the window can’t be opened, and there is no ventilator. There is a safety box, a beach bag, two umbrellas, a fridge, a kettle, and even a Nespresso machine. However, even though there are two cups and two glasses, there is only one capsule of Americano and one capsule of Espresso, and you have to buy the water, rather expensively, at the bar. There is no laundry rack on the porch or balcony. Bedsheets were spotless, but the bed was wet, hence we woke the next morning feeling like we’d slept on the beach. There are no bedside lights. In the next room, the huge TV was dangerously dangling off its 360° stand, and the balcony was dirty, with only the bathtub being spotless. They have few employees and many managers, with the employees doing what they can for many hours a day. Breakfast options are very limited for people with a plant-based diet. Beach towels are not always available at the pool area. However, the white-sand beach is easily accessible, and there are many butterflies and birds around the property. It is very romantic and nature-bound.

Perfect location right on the beach. The beachfront restaurant is very good and caters to a variety of tastes. The rooms are decent. The hotel is more geared toward younger guests, who visit in large numbers, but it can also be a good choice for families who do not mind the lively atmosphere.

I had an amazing stay at Kira Baya on Koh Samet and would definitely recommend it overall. Ace and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The rooms were exceptionally clean, very well maintained, and we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. Both breakfast and dinner were enjoyable, with good variety and quality. We also really appreciated having access to the kayak, which added a fun touch to the experience. One thing to note, as others have mentioned, is that the beach in front of the property is quite stoney and could benefit from some cleaning. Additionally, the hotel is located at the far end of the island, so getting around requires some planning. There is a shuttle service available, but it is not included in the stay and not directly provided by the hotel, which is something other hotels tend to handle better. That said, I was able to rent a scooter for 100 THB per hour, which gave me a great opportunity to explore the island independently. Overall, despite a few minor inconveniences, this was a fantastic stay with excellent service, and I would happily return

I had a wonderful stay! As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease throughout my visit. The environment was quiet and peaceful, which made it easy to relax. The room was comfortable and well-kept, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The firework show was such a lovely bonus and made the experience even more special. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it.

I have stayed at Flamingo Villa before (In the Garden Room), but this time I decided to stay in the loft room, which apparently is called the Family Room. Flamingo Villa is somewhat strange, since the ”Hotel” is basically three rooms within the Samed Your House hotel. Our neighbors actually knocked on our door to try and check in ~ You need to call the phone number for Flamingo Villa in order to check in, as someone will come out to meet you. So, bottom line up front: Flamingo Villa is awesome, but get ready to kill a lot of mosquitos! The owners do a good job of lighting incense sticks to try and keep the them away, but there are fountains around the area and the mosquitos are no joke. I would say I killed at least 10 in our room, so it is super important to make sure you close the sliding doors behind you every time you go in and out of the room. The Family Room was awesome. The lower floor is basically a living room with a large day bed and a big TV with great speakers. The toilet room is separate from the shower. The stairs to the loft are pretty steep, but once you get up there it is really nice. There are two queen beds in the loft, and the glass wall and sliding door separate the bedroom from the main room, which is great because the bedroom has its own AC unit, and the glass keeps out the mosquitoes. The beds were comfortable, but be careful because the ceiling is very low above the beds. The view from up in the loft is very peaceful, and the owners obviously spent a lot of time decorating the place (The Christmas tree was still up while we were there). The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Sai Kaew Beach, and the pier for the ferry is only a 10 minute walk ~ but you can take a mini bus if you would like. The hotel is close to restaurants and stores, and there are two 7-11s close to the beach. We rented a motor bike the last time we were in Koh Samed, but Sai Kaew Beach seems to be the nicest on the island, so we just hung out there. I love Flamingo Villa, and I am sure I will stay there again in the future.

Saikaew Villa 65 is less than a 5 minute walk from the songthiaw drop off to get to the accommodation, after the 10 minute taxi ride from Ban Phe pier. We booked 3 Superior Twin rooms for family but the rooms were definitely not 'superior'. The rooms lacked any finesse, with a broken lampshade, gaps under the doors for mozzies to get in, a broken light in the bathroom and a leaking sink pipe, dodgy fridge connection and dead batteries in the aircon remote. The room itself was clean and the service for room cleaning was good, but the surrounding area around the rooms was dilapidated, with broken down storage buildings, remnants of building works and rubbish bags and cleaning equipment on display in the walkways each day. There was a definite lack of attention to detail. It was backpacker style but not with a backpacker price tag. I booked the rooms on a balcony, with a view of the courtyard garden, but there was nowhere to sit outside the room, no chairs provided, just small tables. The location is very good, a minute or so walk away from the beach. The attached restaurant, 'Joe's', was very efficiently run and the service there was excellent (thank you to the waiting staff, who were very friendly and helpful). For 60 baht for the day, a deckchair could be rented with an umbrella right on the sea front, and the restaurant staff provided towels for the deckchairs when asked. If you plan on spending little time in your rooms, and you don't mind the outside appearance of the accommodation, then Sai Kaew 65 is a great place to base yourself for all that Sai Kaew and Koh Samed has to offer.
