The hotel is one of the nicer ones I've seen. Everything is still new and very well-kept, and the service is very nice. I really appreciate the little things that make your stay more pleasant/easier - a game of boules, the possibility of renting a scooter, a beach bag, or the possibility of washing your feet before entering the bungalow. It is perfectly located, right next to a quiet, beautiful beach. On the small downside - the breakfast offer could be expanded, but it does not affect the reception of the hotel at all.

Everything was amazing! The room was so comfortable — and the mattress, oh god, I already miss it! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful; she assisted us with booking both our trips and transfers, which made everything super easy. The room was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and very spacious, with a cozy little terrace where we could relax in the early morning or late at night when the village quiets down. Also, don’t miss the restaurant right next to the hotel — same owner — and the food is absolutely superb. Highly recommend this place!

1. The owner Pierre and Leïla were very welcoming, always looking for ways to improve your stay. For those wanting to enjoy what Koh Samui has to offer without emptying their wallets, Pierre can recommend some interesting activities, both in english or french so don't hesitate to ask as many questions as you can. Laundry, scooter renting, massage services etc are at your disposition for a reasonable cost. 2. The facilities were very clean and organized. The rooms were cleaned everyday, normally in the morning when the guests are having their breakfast but they can still be cleaned in the afternoon if requested. 3. The hotel was remote so no disturbance at night, only the calming sounds of nature. It is also accessible with very good restaurants in the surroundings where you can reach the beach (it will look like a private beach since there are so few people there compared to other beaches). 4. Breakfast or lunch/dinner can be served if the request is made to Leïla in advance. For those not familiar with the island, Pierre can arrange for a taxi to take you to/from the airport. 5. The staff are always smiling and can speak some english. I even had one of the ladies teach me how to ride the scooter twice. Personally, I found my stay perfect. Would definitely recommend for couples, friends, families and lone travellers like me 😉

Went fishing. It was a lot of fun. Big fish, strong. I liked it, I recommend it to everyone! The room is excellent, large. However, it is worth putting a table and two chairs. Everything is clean. There were no insects, although the hotel on the reservoir. Water is brought, cleaned. The staff is excellent. Breakfast is normal, according to the menu. The pool is clean.

We loved our stay at Cape Shark Villas! The view was something I could never get tired of.. we stayed in C16B which is at the top of the property, so we got a nice view of the mountains, as well as the Ocean. As other reviews have mentioned you do have to walk down to the swimming area (and up!), and it is quite steep.. however this is not a problem for us at all, but just should be noted if in relation of which villa you are booking on the property. The staff were very helpful + friendly, especially Maximiliano. He was extremely helpful in booking everything for us, and we had some great conversations with him! The room itself was very clean, the shower had hot water, the pool was warm, the bed was comfortable, and the fan/AC kept us cool throughout the night. We have no complaints, and have already talked about when we can come back! During our stay we did a message, and we took a water taxi out to Koh Nang Yuan, both organized by the hotel. Would recommend both experiences. Thanks so much for a great stay!

This has been the most incredible stay I have ever experienced. Soooo luxurious! I did not even dream about. First of all, the staff is super super kind. The restaurant Manager and restaurant service was doing so many nice things to make us happy. The food was delicious, many options to choose from. The villa was stunning, so clean! Cleaning was twice a day, in the evening we were served with a tea. The hotel took care also of mosquitoes every evening. Thank you so much to all of you! We were crying when we were leaving. We feel truly pampered by your service.

I have been to 4 Thai seaside resorts so I know a little about them. Koh Samui seems to lack a spirit of 'self' - the tours available go to natural sites which are average. And expensive. I didn't see any cultural tours. I saw hundreds of massage parlours, weed shops, and cafes. The whole place seems to be a fisherman's village that has been pumped up by advertising and wasn't really ready for it. I would really avoid this place in the high season. On the other hand if you just want to sit in a resort next to a beach and eat and drink, this could be for you. Long way to go though...

We came here to have a relaxing week during National Week in October. My husband and daughter had some of the best scuba diving experiences and they would definitely love to go back and do more dives (yet there are so many other places to go and see....). We stayed in the southeast for the first part of the trip, and found that to be a bit secluded - great resort, but a little too isolated and cut off for us overall. The second half we stayed in Sairee Beach area and it was amazing! So much going on and great restaurants and sunset views at your fingertips. We had wanted to rent scooters to explore the island more, but after seeing the condition of the roads (very steep and sharp turns), and so many people with "Thailand tattoos" from road rash, we decided against it, so we didn't get to see as much as we'd hoped. Maybe next time....

Easily accessible, used Grab, taxi service to get around, reliable. Walked along the beach but you can only go so far as you then have to walk through the water which is waist deep. You can walk along the road. Nice restaurant called The Cliff if you want to treat yourself. Did 3 trips, the first was the island tour which visits temples, look out and waterfall. Second tour was to the elephant Haven, this was amazing, very sad when you hear the stories of how the elephants ended up there after being rescued. They do a great job. Third trip was to Pig Island and snorkeling. Pig Island was 1 hour which I thought was a bit too long, maybe just half an hour should be allocated. Snorkelling was great and the lunch which was included was beautiful.

We went to visit a friend who recently moved there. It is not really a tourist town. We went to the Mangrove Forest and it was run down and unimpressive. The Saturday Market was underwhelming. The highlight was the view from "the hill". Surat Thani is what it is... a large city that gives you access to Koh Samui and a city for locals.

Haad Rin is a beautiful beach with plenty of bars and restaurants lining the shore and lots of shops, restaurants around the strip. During Full Moon week, the atmosphere gets wild—every venue competes with fire shows and loud music, creating a chaotic but energetic vibe. I imagine the off-season must be much more relaxing, though I haven’t experienced it myself. Personally, I found the Full Moon Party a bit disappointing, though that might be due to my expectations. I'm 40+, and I was hoping for a more organized event with better music and a diverse crowd—people of all ages from different parts of the world. Instead, it felt more like a chaotic gathering of mostly very young partygoers (early 20s), primarily from England, Germany, and Denmark, whose main focus seemed to be drinking and drugs. In November 2025, the original party was canceled due to the passing of the King’s mother, so I can’t speak to the usual experience.

I choose to stay in Bann Tai for its central location. There are much nicer locations on the island to stay, however if you are like me, and like to explore, then this location is best as its in the middle of the coast line, and its close to central heart road ways that take you to any part of the island quickly.
