Mountain View Hotels in Koh Samui

I had an incredible 2-night stay at Best World Vision Villa in Koh Samui. The hospitality was superb from start to finish. The view from the villa was breathtaking, and the pool was sparkling clean. The rooms were beautifully done up and very comfortable. One highlight was the BBQ seafood dinner we requested. It was prepared with a classy table setting and featured more than 8 delicious dishes, just for the two of us. The whole team was exceptional, with Mr. Joey and Seyha coordinating our stay flawlessly. I highly recommend booking their villa’s driver, as he is very experienced with the challenging mountain roads. Driving there can be quite dangerous for someone unfamiliar with the area. For convenience, you can also order Grab food delivery, but be mindful to do so when it’s not raining, as the steep roads can be slippery for the riders. They also have an in-villa dining menu, which offers excellent service and delicious options. Despite being very affordable, this villa provides the best views and an outstanding overall experience. I can’t wait to return!

I stayed one night at IDA B DOMAIN and the experience was truly unforgettable. We stayed in the Junior Suite, but it already felt like a presidential suite. The room was incredibly spacious and luxurious, with a big hot tub that was super comfortable for two people to soak in and relax together. We informed the hotel in advance that it was our anniversary, and they surprised us with beautiful decorations, which made the stay even more special. The service felt very intimate and personal—they even added us into a WhatsApp group chat so we could message the staff directly anytime. Filmm and the rest of the hotel staff made us feel completely at home throughout our stay. The resort itself felt like we were staying in the owner’s private villa. There were so many facilities available, including a cinema room, snooker room, sauna, gym, a lovely garden, and beautiful paintings displayed throughout the resort. We also had dinner at the resort’s restaurant, and it was absolutely out of this world—honestly felt like dining at a high-end fine dining restaurant. One thing to note is that the hotel is quite out of the way, located on a hill/mountain area. It’s best to arrange transportation with the hotel, or arrange your own ride and inform the driver that the route is very hilly. It’s not advisable to drive up on your own if you’ve rented a car that isn’t suitable for steep slopes. Overall, this was an exceptional and memorable stay that I would highly recommend for a special occasion.

Pros 1. Very friendly and cheerful staff 2. Great facilities including tennis court , gym, badminton , beach volleyball and all sorts of water activities. We picked the resort because it has two well maintained tennis courts. Not a lot offer that in Samui. 3. Our beach front villa is big and beddings are very comfortable. The location of the hotel is a bit far from central happening places but not an issue for us as we enjoyed the tranquility. Cons. 1. On our first day our shower sewage was clogged and flooded. Staff came late night, fixed, and left a mess behind. House cleaning came next day to clean but again left cleaning tools behind. Things happen I understand but this shows some areas of training is quite needed. Another day our toilet also got clogged and flooded. Not exactly what we envisioned for paying USD.1000 plus per night. 2. Staff’s english might need more training also . Again , not a big issue if we try again and again. 3. Food is quite expensive in the premise. Thankfully there are other options outside of hotel for a small walk or ride. Breakfast spread is good but might need some change after a few days. Overall, we enjoyed our stay thanks to hotel staff trying their best for giving their guests a memorable holiday. y

We spent 6 nights in the Mekkala and had a great stay. It was very quiet, but very close to restaurants and the beach. Our room was on the ground floor and was very spacious and comfortable. Outside was a patio with pool access right there. Also there was a table and chairs out there along with an area to lounge on a very comfortable couch. Breakfast was available and cooked to order. Everywhere was clean and the staff were really nice. There was a place to hire a car or bike right next door and next door but 1 took in washing, had taxis and could arrange trips which we did. All in all we would definitely recommend this hotel and if we ever return to Samui would definately go back to the Mekkala.

We chose a family room with a bunk bed for the child, but for some reason, this type of room was 2.5 times more expensive than a standard one. It was difficult to adjust the air conditioning so it wouldn't blow directly onto the bed. They only provided a maximum of 4 bottles of 0.5L water per day, which wasn't enough for us, so we had to buy more. The cleaning was good, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. The pool was also nice. Breakfast was a buffet for 250 baht, but the selection was small, although it's a good option if you eat a lot. There are many cafes, a shop, and a very good beach nearby.

Have stayed at this hotel previously. Rooms are clean and modern. Food at hotel is great. The majority of the staff are great. There is a new bar located next to the hotel and the noise level reached 105 decibels according to my iPhone. I complained to the hotel and they said they could not do anything. I called the Tourist Police on 191 and went in person to the bar to complain. They then reduced the volume. This is something the hotel management should have done, yet never. I complained bitterly to their management, yet they were useless. If you want something done, clearly you need to do it yourself.

Excellent hotel right on the beach. The furniture is a bit dated and there aren't many sun loungers, but everything else is great, and the staff are friendly. The room has a gorgeous view, and the grounds are beautiful. There are plenty of cafes nearby, it's a 20-minute walk to the night market, and there are laundromats and a 7/11 close by. The entry into the water from the beach is comfortable, and the beach itself is clean and uncrowded. Breakfasts are decent; not much variety, but there's enough to choose from (different types of eggs, fruit, toast – but no porridge, cheese, and the sausages are spicy). In the room, there's not much light (just one light in the hallway and bedside lamps), and there aren't many power outlets, none near the bed. Housekeeping is daily. They don't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste. The towels are a bit thin but not a big deal. The hotel is consistent with a 3-star rating.

This place looked exactly like the pictures. A beautiful, colourful property set in a beautiful garden. Every part had something interesting to explore and I couldn’t stop looking at all the art that decorated every space. There were three pools (2 small and a slightly larger one) which was perfect for kids. My children loved the water slide going down from one pool to the other pool. Breakfast was simple but varied and the two dinner meals we had were delicious. Everyone there was very sweet and helpful. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes but it wasn’t too bad. I really enjoyed the stay here!

The staff were very pleasent and accommodating, the pools were nice and clean, unfortunately the beach in front of the hotel is terrible, there is no beach directly in front of the hotel and the rest of the bay is covered in oil and quite unkept.

Pleasant Stay with Excellent Service in Chaweng I recently stayed at Lotus Friendly Hotel in Chaweng with my wife and baby. The hotel boasts cleanliness and spaciousness, with daily room cleaning ensuring a comfortable stay throughout. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing us with valuable information. One of the highlights of our stay was dining at the hotel's restaurant, which offered delicious Mediterranean-style cuisine. The restaurant staff were exceptional, making our dining experience truly memorable. They were also incredibly friendly and accommodating towards our baby, which made us feel even more welcome. The hotel's location was convenient, with a Seven Eleven and several restaurants nearby, making it easy to access essentials and dining options. Additionally, the beach was just a 2-minute walk away, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful coastline effortlessly. While the city center was a bit further, a 20-minute walk provided an opportunity to explore more of Chaweng. The only minor downside was the noise at night, which is perhaps typical of the vibrant atmosphere in Chaweng. However, this did not significantly detract from our overall experience, as the hotel's other amenities and exceptional service more than made up for it. Overall, I highly recommend Lotus Friendly Hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Chaweng. The combination of cleanliness, spaciousness, excellent service, and convenient location makes it a top choice for travelers. We look forward to returning in the future.
