Koh Samet Hotels with Wifi

How do I even begin! I went to Koh Samet with no expectations, but Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa is supposedly the second-best resort on the island. My overall impression wasn't great, mainly due to how the resort handled the broken air conditioning in our bungalow on the first day. We took a private car from downtown Bangkok to Ao Prao Pier (the hotel's private pier, which has its own lounge). Following the resort's email instructions, we boarded the 1:30 PM boat to the resort, which took about 15 minutes. The welcome drink upon arrival was quite good. The resort isn't very large, and there weren't many guests. When we discovered the AC was broken, we immediately contacted housekeeping. From housekeeping to engineering to the front desk, and then to Ctrip, we spent an hour in the sweltering room and outside before finally being moved to another room. It seemed like Ctrip had to intervene to resolve the issue before the front desk staff led us to our new room... The whole process was incredibly frustrating due to the heat! Later, the front desk found me on the beach and offered us an upgraded room. I went to see it but declined, as it was quite dark inside, and I prefer bright, airy rooms when I'm on vacation. She told me the room would be held for us if we changed our minds. Because I didn't move, the front desk came to find me again on the beach and offered a complimentary pizza as compensation. This proactive attitude was a definite plus. We stayed at Le Vimarn for three nights. The rooms are simple, Thai-style wooden bungalows. The 1.8-meter bed was just right for a family of three. The mini-bar is chargeable. If you're visiting Koh Samet, remember to bring a filtered shower head. Breakfast was pretty much the same every day, but it tasted good. We had dinner at Buzz once, and the food was good, but with a 10% service charge and 7% tax, it ended up being a bit expensive! The resort is a 15-minute drive from the main street (where the 7-Eleven is, 200 baht one-way). The front desk can arrange a taxi. Later, we rented a scooter, which we could park on a slope about a 2-minute walk from the front desk. I scraped my foot on a coral reef while swimming, and the front desk provided basic first aid. For the last two days, we stayed at Paradee Resort, which is a sister hotel to Le Vimarn, so they offered a free transfer. However, if you're traveling with kids, I'd highly recommend Paradee Resort – the environment, facilities, and staff are all much better.

Since we were traveling as a family and wanted to stay together, we ultimately chose this hotel. The service was truly excellent; the staff were very attentive and had a great attitude. We also tried the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the food was good and reasonably priced. In the evenings, there was a fire dance show. The hotel has a private beach with clear water and soft sand, which our kids absolutely loved. You could even see many fish in the sea. The hotel isn't on the main street, so it's about a 35-minute walk, making it quite quiet. I'd recommend renting a scooter. For going out at night, walking along the beach feels safer. Our family had a very relaxing vacation here!

An affordable hotel right in the heart of Samet, located directly on the main street. It's just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, with a 7-Eleven and cafes conveniently located downstairs. The rooms are simple, but they have everything you need. I'd definitely recommend it if you're staying for a few nights.

[”The room was clean and tidy, the location was convenient, and the service was enthusiastic. It was a superb stay with great value for money!”,”The environment was quiet and comfortable, facilities were complete, and hygiene was excellent. The front desk staff were super friendly. I'll definitely come again next time!”,”Great location, convenient for getting around. The room was clean and odorless, making for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!”]

The hotel is beautiful, modern, and the grounds are well-maintained, with everything blooming and fragrant, including a pond with fish. Around the pool, there are stylish sun loungers. On the sandy beach, you'll find sun loungers with umbrellas. The staff is friendly. Breakfast is delicious. The restaurant is located right by the sea. Dinner was simply magnificent: squid and shrimp with garlic and pepper, and the tuna salad was amazing. The price is reasonable at 250 baht for a dish from the chef. The room is spacious, with a large, king-sized bed and pristine white linens. The room includes a capsule coffee machine (2 capsules and 2 tea bags upon check-in), a kettle, and 2 bottles of water. Near the hotel, there are also bars and other small hotels. Be careful of sea urchins in the ocean; swim in the designated areas. A taxi from the pier costs 200 baht. When you want to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some solitude, this is the perfect place 🫶 We loved everything and would love to return again 🥰 Thank you for your care and attention, and wishing the hotel prosperity 🌸

We stayed from April 15-17 in a family room on the first floor. There were three of us, and I can't imagine how four people could fit in there—the room is tiny. There's one armchair right outside the room, and that area is also very cramped, with people constantly walking by. There's no restaurant, only drinks available. The sun loungers are quickly packed away in the evening. There's a lot of hustle and bustle nearby; if you're looking for relaxation, this isn't the place for you. Honestly, for this price, you can find a much better hotel on this island. The hotel is definitely in need of renovation. The staff, however, were lovely ❤️

It’s one of the great choices for a quick, quiet weekend escape in Samed. The other is Paradee. Overall, it’s a beautifully located resort far distance in a serene spot with lovely private rocky beach, but in terms of facilities and overall experience, it feels more like a solid 4-star resort rather than a true 5-star standard. I highly recommend booking directly with the resort if possible. Direct bookings include complimentary boat transfers to the island as well as land transfers from the pier to the resort, which saves a lot of hassle. One thing I noticed was the high proportion of foreign staff. It felt like the resort lost a bit of that local Thai touch you usually expect when holidaying on the islands.

This is our second time staying at this hotel. Upon arrival, we were initially checked into a bungalow, which we didn't like – it was very dark and cramped. We requested to be moved to the main building. They put us on the first floor, which wasn't ideal, but it was okay. Everything in the room felt old, and during cleaning, the toiletries and tea weren't replenished; we had to ask for them. The breakfasts are good, and sometimes there's live music, which is a nice touch. There's also live music on the beach and a fire show in the evenings. The hotel is just a stone's throw away from 7/11. Overall, it's a decent hotel.

The staff at the front desk were lovely. They spoke politely, gave good recommendations, and were always smiling. The kitchen staff were also very kind and provided excellent service. The hotel has comprehensive facilities, is easy to get to, close to everything, and safe. The hotel also offers motorcycle rentals, which I recommend arranging directly with them for convenience. I was very impressed! 💗✨🙏🏻

The first promlem was to find the reception to check in. No info when you come from the ferry, The info is on the beach, but who is going to the beach before check in? When we finally found the reception, they said we couldn´t check in before 3pm!!Since we came there 1pm we had to wait 2 hours. Then we came to the small room. There was nothin inside except a tv hanging on a wall 90 degrees from the bed! 4 hooks for hanging clothes, No shelfes, no bedside tables, nothing. We had to keep everything on the floor. In the small bathroom the dispencer for showercreme and schampoo didn´t funktion and no shelf to put own schampoo on. When we wanted to buy woucher for the breakfast buffet, we were told that they didn´t have breakfast bufett just now . there was not enough guests!!! isteaf we had to order a breafast. a poor meal to dubbel price comparing to a resaurant in Jomtien. No info about password to the Wi-Fi in the room. When i asked in the reception I got a small piece ov paper with the password but whe I tried to log in, IO got a message it was wrong password. When i went back to the receptio they told me that their WI-FI didn´work!! Why not tell that when i first asked for the password? The ONLY POSITIVE thing with this stay was the location, Very close to the the beach. My recommendation; find another stay!
