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.

Our stay at Napasai was a great experience! We were 5 nights there. Helpful and friendly staff (russian-spoken manager Alla), incredible hospitality, enchanting private villas with breathtaking sea view. Villas are fully equipped. Surrounding area is not full of cafes, massage salons or other facilities but it takes only about 15-20 minutes to get Fisherman village or 35-40 minutes to the Central Samui by Grab taxi. Not far from hotel you can have lunch or dinner at Nee’s restaurant. Two 7-11 stores within walking distance. Last evening we had dinner at the beach restaurant and I should say that meals and cocktails were delicious and not pricey for such place. Highly recommend Napasai!

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 had a great stay at Ban Kaew. Staff were amazing - we received coconuts as a welcome present and staff were always very willing to help. My sister left at 5am and they woke up then to help her with her luggage. The location is great, 5 mins away from fisherman’s village and there are lots of eateries etc around, as well as a 7/11 just opposite the accommodation. The room’s flooring was a bit slippery and the water in the shower only got lukewarm, not hot and I like my showers hot so this wasn’t ideal but not a big issue as it’s warm in Thailand anyway. Also, the shower was very close to the toilet (just next to it, with no partition) so unfortunately the toilet always got wet when we showered. All in all, we had a great stay and I’d recommend the villa😊

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.

The hotel is on the first line with a small swimming pool with a direct view of the sea. Lipa Noi Beach is very good in January: no waves, quiet and calm. Life in this area of ​​the island is slow, without many people)) The hotel itself consists of bungalow houses, which are worn out by time and guests, and possibly their absence during the pandemic. If you need privacy, this is the place for you.

Generally we really enjoyed our stay. There are only 2 things that weren’t good. 1. The sound isolation. On our last day the people above us decided to drink and listen to loud music. Since the rooms are basically not insulated we were able to hear everything and well then it is basically a gamble if you have silebt people or loud people around you. 2. We really disliked the bedsheets. At the end of the night they were always somewhere but not in the bed. I expecially didn’t like the one for the blanket. Otherwise we really liked our stay. They have a nice pool(appears bigger in the pictures than it is ) The breakfast was great The staff was very friendly There is a shortcut to the beach so like a 5-7min walk to the beach

We booked a room for three people and overall had a pleasant stay. The air-conditioning was very cold and worked well, which made the room comfortable. However, the bathroom/shower area was quite small and a bit uncomfortable to use. One nice feature is the veranda, where you can relax and hang out outside. The hotel also has a swimming pool, which is a plus. The location is great,it’s very close to Natien Beach, just a short walking distance. In the evening, it’s lovely to hang out by the beach and enjoy a beautiful sunset. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They allowed us to check in early since we arrived ahead of time, which we really appreciated. The hotel WiFi is strong and available in every corner of the property. Overall, a good stay with excellent service and location.

This hotel is great because of its location, dining experience, friendly staff, motorbike rental, cute cats, clean room, and beautiful palm trees. When I return to Koh Samui, I would definitely stay here again.
