Villas in Surat Thani Province, Thailand

Away from the hustle of central Chaweng, so is a good spot to be based for quiet times and used as a base to explore the island. Beachfront pool villas are nice, large and great views of the ocean. Private pool is a bonus and well worth the upgrade. Hotel was busy when I stayed and everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. The pool isn’t the largest but plentiful for the amount of rooms. Don’t forget, there are the villas with private pools, so a fair number of guests will be in their own area. Access to the beach is not directly in front of the hotel, but that’s a good thing otherwise I would be hearing everyone in front of my villa each day. Access is the side of the resort just past the restaurant. Along this stretch of beach has a few other hotel bars and restaurants to eat and drink in and if you head to the furtherest headland point, and head inland, you will come across a handful of bars and restaurants. As many people have said, the hotel is next to a road - but like most hotels in Samui, it’s just the design of the island. You can avoid the main road for your walk to the local area by going along the stretch of beach. And when you are on the island, why wouldn’t you want to walk along the beach?! So don’t listen to those comments about nothing nearby. If you want the hustle of the nightlife, Chaweng central is 15 minutes away. Get on the shuttle or order a taxi for 300thb. It’s a 4 star hotel, trying to get back to some kind of normal after covid and over time, I am sure the owners will reinvest their money to make improvements where some other guests have commented about in other posts but I do think it is dependent on the room type you book and/or are assigned as most of them are fine. Give it a go, it is worth it. I’ve been to many hotels over the years - more than the average Joe - and it’s only recently where I’ve checked in and out of two hotels on the same day in all these years.

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Skye Beach for 5 nights and everything was amazing. Very clean, spacious, amazing villa with a gorgeous view. The staff were perfect and made the experience I think! So attentive and kind and always had a big smile on their faces. Breakfast was also lovely- set up every morning my staff in your own villa and was really enjoyable. This is one of the best resorts I have ever stayed and would definitely recommend. The only thing I would say is that if you are in the villas that aren’t on the beach front, the pools lack a bit of privacy as the people from below can see right in. The location is also not really close by to anything but this was our own mistake for not doing enough research on the area but I still wouldn’t change staying at this amazing hotel!

Very good, everything. Good atmosphere, clean hotel, beautiful view, good value for money, but the way up to the accommodation is quite steep. After entering the accommodation, it is difficult to come to the various beaches below. And slightly less service issues Meaning that when he was unwell, In the early hours of the day, I wanted to request a drug from reception. But cannot contact at all The taxi can't be contacted. Have to let the friend below Find a taxi to pick up to buy your own medicine. It's hard to go back. But overall, the accommodation is really good.

The effect of Covid-19 on tourism in Thailand is still being tragically felt. On Koh Samui there are abandoned resorts and some which have already been bulldozed. Meanwhile, those remaining eke out an existence with vastly reduced patronage. It is with this in mind that I review Pawanthorn Villas, where we recently stayed. Ours was the largest 4 bedroom villa and, although a little tired, it served our purpose admirably. The 4 x bedrooms all had separate external entry which enabled plenty of privacy amongst our group of 8 adults. Each bedroom was well appointed and with a generous en-suite. The beds were large and comfortable and the towels were changed daily. Some of the electrical work would not pass inspection in Australia, but it was out of the way and posed no threat. The large dining/lounge became our main communal area and the 2 x air conditioners kept the Thai heat and humidity under control. The fabulous pool became our other communal area and was appreciated by all. We booked through Air B&B, so daily breakfast was provided at the adjoining restaurant Chez Kun Ying and the menu was extensive. They even opened early on a couple of occasions because we had an early tour booked. We also had dinner there and were pleasantly surprised. Chaweng Beach, with its abundance of restaurants, bars and night-life, is 2.7 kilometres away, too far to walk with no footpath but easily accessible via taxi or hailing a tuk tuk which are constantly cruising past. We hired a minivan and appreciated the convenience that it provided but, when needed, tuk tuk's were excellent for our party of 8 and the 200 Baht fare (just under Aussie$9) was reasonable. There are a number of different sized pool villa's ranging from our 8 person to 2 person. We found the staff to be delightfully helpful, friendly and eager to please. Pawanthorn is not perfect but the shortcomings are few and easily overcome. As patronage increases, we hope that a freshen-up would correct any issues and we would have no hesitation in staying there again.

The hotel was very comfortable and the hotel was very comfortable. We chose the capsule because we only passed through there to sleep, but the villas looked very beautiful. The very beautiful pool also, in the middle of all the villas. In the neighborhood there is not just a little ambience, it is to be relaxed. The breakfast is in front of the hotel and has 7 different varieties, it is not a buffet. We broke our bag and the owner helped us fix it. ¡Very recommendable!

The house gave me a very good impression. It felt cool when I entered the first day. The space on the first floor was open, and the glass in front of it was glass, revealing the clear pool and the sea in the distance. My family and I have a pleasant experience here. The location of the house is not too good, there is no shop nearby, but we rented a motorcycle when we went out. It is convenient to have a car. So this is not enough. We also book breakfast on the morning of the last day. A few aunts came over and made a table in half an hour. We will choose the next time there is a chance.

very like everything The swimming pool is good, taking beautiful pictures, next to the full sea view, there is a floating breakfast to set up a photo set. The room to stay is on the ground floor. Only one room get the most privacy There are sun loungers in front of the room. At night, if you are not afraid of mosquito bites Go out to sleep and watch the stars, very romantic. The bedroom is spacious with a bathtub. There is an air purifier in the room to use as well.

This is a villa type hotel run by the French privately. It is located on the top of a hill and faces the sea. The building is very artistic, the environment is beautiful and quiet, and the grass and trees in the courtyard are carefully designed. The western breakfast was delicious.

If you're reading this review - stop, book your stay at Kerem Villas, and then come back to finish reading this review. It's that good. Trust me. We (family of 5) stayed at Kerem Villas for 7 days and had the time of our lives. The property is absolutely stunning with modern decor, beautiful views, an amazing amount of space and a fantastic pool. We felt as if we were living in our dream home for a week and frankly it's been difficult to come back to our actual home. Everything from the couches to the beds and pillows to the towels made it feel like a truly luxury experience. - Staff and service: The staff were the most pleasant and helpful people we've encountered on vacation. Jean, the manager, was available day and night for any questions or help that we needed, always had a smile on her face and paid attention to small details to help make our trip feel magical. Pla, our breakfast chef and housekeeper, was sweet, caring, thorough and always made sure to ask what our preferences were and adopted to them. Panu, our driver, was fun, punctual, helpful and available. There's absolutely no need to rent a car on the Island as Panu was more affordable, efficient and fun. And Miriam, one of the property owners, made sure to work with us from pre-booking in order to help us plan our trip to perfection. - Location: The location is nearby cultural cornerstones like the Big Budda and Fisherman's village, but felt secluded enough to make it truly feel like a getaway. The villas are located in part of a private residence facility with full time security so there's a true sense of calm which is important in a villa setting in a foreign country. We planned our trip based around chilling at the villa for large chunks of every day, while planning few hour day trips each day, and it exceeded our expectations. - Food: Breakfast is included and Pla made sure to prepare delicious breakfast that was both adult and kid friendly every morning. There's a full kitchen and nearby markets to stock the fridge and prepare food for lunch or dinner, and we opted to order in dinner most nights. There's also an option to have the staff prepare additional meals but we didn't go that route. We had a truly magical family vacation and I attribute that completely to Kerem Villas. I cannot recommend staying there any more. Like I said at the top, book now and thank me later.

Samui Sunrise Villa is located in the mountainous area south of Chaweng Beach. The location is very advantageous. It is very close to Chawen Beach, within walking distance. There are lively nightlife and shopping malls on Koh Samui. It is very convenient and the surrounding environment is very beautiful. You can see the beautiful scenery in the distance from the house, there are azure blue The sky and the green trees are very suitable for visiting here.

Great villa, so peaceful and quiet but just a short ride away from the action. They give you a private phone to call and they can take you round the island (as part of the package) and answer your questions and help with anything you need. Food delivery options were amazing so even though you’re not super close to restaurants they can bring it to you. Clean with everything you need, coffee machine, microwave all kitchen utensils. They even left some beers in the fridge for us to drink :) thank you!
