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

Wonderful, luxurious, huge room! 50 sq m is amazing! Sunrise view. A little noisy since my room faced the road, but I slept with earplugs and it was perfectly fine. The pool is clean, and there's even essential oil for the bath 💜

I booked the Ocean Front Deluxe Room to have a quiet last day at the beach with ocean view. Unfortunately, loud constructions and a bar/restaurant with music made it impossible to be outside without noises. Apart from that the hotel is great. Service is good. I advice to doublecheck with the hotel regarding the construction and booking a cheaper room garden side of hotel to avoid the noise. Room was wonderful, clean and food was very good to. Breakfast had a nice selection. Transfer time to/from Airport is 10-15 minutes, thus perfect for arrival or departure day.

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.

I’m laying on a sunbed (in the shade as I write this). We read the reviews before we arrived, So here’s the latest.. Pick a room that’s right for you… As with a lot of hotels they are just off or on the main road, if you’re after tranquility you need to pick a sea view room. If you’re used to living next to a busy road (cars & moped) as we were, then the mountain side view rooms were fine for us. Family Room was large, with plenty enough space. Room was great, although if I was to be very picky, shower door and carpet could be improved, everything else in room was great. Just so you know, cars & mopeds are always going past throughout the day and night. Beach is shallow water with rough sand and small rocks beneath the water. It is a lovely spot, although you’d need to head right for a stroll before you find a less rocky beach to practically swim in. Location: head to Crystal Bay (15 min walk) or head the other direction (15 min walk). Close by is a public outdoor gym, basically in the sea. Obviously equipment is basic but you can always go to an air conditioned gym near by. Hotel service and employee are great, pool & beach towels & sunbeds provided . Breakfast is high quality geared towards healthier eating. Various yoga classes going on, which seem popular but not something we do. The usual Thai street food ,  Restaurants and 7-11 stores within walking distance.

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!

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.

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.
