Samui Garden Home

the gardens were very pretty + the large rooms

that the pool wasn’t open + the location is a bit out of the way

We upgraded our villa as we decided to stayed longer as we were no longer going to Phuket. So villa was much nicer on the beach.

We received an email saying they had no pool as it was being refurbished , gave us a choice to stay and would give us upgraded villas as wee booked 2 , we decided to stay as we knew there was a beach . But the upgraded rooms when we arrived were not great so we needed to upgrade again . Which cost a lot of money.

The Villa was fairly new with a great view of the bay.

There wasn’t anything not to like, the only thing I’d say is the entrance and exit out of the property onto the road was very dangerous as it was on a blind bend so caution was paramount. No pool on the beach view villa as well.

Actual bungalow was lovely! It was fully equipped with everything you would need and so much space. The beach is across the road (if not in beach front property) and there’s a convenience store nearby. Hotel offered pick up from airport if necessary.

We booked this hotel as we were extending our stay in Koh Samui and needed somewhere quickly! This was reduced from £200 to £60 so we booked it. When we arrived, we soon realised why this might’ve been. From morning until evening there was construction work taking place nearby. This meant it was hard to relax at the pool and the next morning. On the subject of the pool, the area is very aesthetically pleasing but only two sunbeds the rest being deck chairs (no umbrellas by the way. You can get your laundry done on site which is a nice touch but be mindful that it is much more expensive than any local places. 150 THB per KG. A little further into Lamai, you can find places for 50 THB per KG or even do it yourself for under 100 THB. Communication from staff was also hit or miss. They are very quick to respond to any queries you may have, but not great at letting you know things in advance. We had been conversing the morning of our check in. Once I got to the property, they let us know their card machine was down so they had not yet charged my card so would need to pay cash. We did not have the entire amount in cash so had to withdraw it which would’ve been nice to know beforehand due to the large withdrawal fees tourists have to pay at ATMS. Overall, I would say the £60 that we paid was a decent price but I would not pay full price to stay here again.
