Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Koh Samet

Location with beach is perfect. Quite nature place. Very delicious menu a la carte, live music and fire show in the evenings. Stayed in ocean luxe and villas with pool- very beautiful rooms with romantique atmosphere

Upon arriving the Koh Samet island, we found out there's were several Grandview Resorts. Unfortunately, I think we were at the worst one. We accidentally went to the wrong resort, which was beautiful. We had to take a taxi to the hotel and were disappointed to see the entrance convered in nothing but trash. Not the grandest entrance. The resort was not really managed like a resort. More like a low budget hotel. Reading the description of the hotel it states there's a pool table and game room, which didn't exist. The idea of charging drinks, food, and services to the room was very odd to them. There was no phone in the room to order room service. Also, the bed and pillows were so hard it made sleeping very difficult. Also the broken window let in too many mosquitos. Changing rooms was more of a struggle than it was worth. I should mention it seem like we were in a older room. Seemed like there were newer rooms on the property. One last thing, the resort is located in an area that is not accessible to the other parts of the island. The only option is to take pricey cab rides to and from the hotel. For the good stuff: staff was very friendly and accomodating, the free breakfast included was delicious as well as all their lunches and dinner, drinks were tasty as well, and beach alone was beautiful with warm clean water. All in all it was an enjoyable stay (only two nights), but it did have some disappointing qualities I wasn't expecting.

Loved the rooms. And the way they were spread out. Staff were all extremely good. Particularly Jee (F&B Manager), Kompak and Anny who immediately made you feel at home with smiles and help all week. No pool, but right on the beach with enough beds and loungers. The eating area from lunchtime is by the sea and is very relaxing. Service can be a little slow but I think that is just a typical Asian thing. ( come on we’re on holiday and everything doesn’t need to be at top speed) I would certainly go back to this resort.

Breakfast included and satiety to recommend Professional and Caring staff Rooms very comfortable Good beach equipment restaurant nearby stunning sunrise Path along the sea to reach other beaches However given the location the rental of a moped is recommended 300THB per day Only a small pool is missing

Great location, nice rooms comfy bed. We were right on the beach so an idillic setting. There’s a reggae bar on the same beach for pool and cheap cocktails… perfect

I can't fault this place and especially the staff. I made an error with the dates of my booking. They were able to fix it. Beautiful quiet beach. Paddled with pool type goggles on only 50m off beach and saw fish, giant clams and coral. Our cabin was like being in a rain forest. Bed good, all food great including breakfast. I'm getting married in October and I'm going to bring a bunch of my friends from Australia here after the wedding.

Sometimes you really mustn’t believe everything you read on here. This is a basic, but perfectly formed resort on a beautiful beach, and easily accessible from Bangkok with a private car for 70 USD for a 2.5 or 3 hour max drive to the pier. 10 Minutes by speed boat and another 15 minutes by local transport. The rooms are very clean, a little worn, but have well functioning air-con and a minibar fridge. You get what you pay for. I slept wonderfully. Yes, the beds are a little on the hard side but I snoozed all the way through the night. I certainly wasn’t attacked and eaten alive by hoards of insects. I have insect repellent to make sure. But you’re surrounded by tropical forests. So… Their restaurant is lovely and there are several more excellent options on this or the neighbouring beach, all accessible by a short stroll. Staff in general are very friendly - everywhere I went. Don’t expect 5 star service. That’s not what you pay for and not where you are. Just relax. The beach is wonderful, with a gently lapping turqoise ocean. Powdery soft, white sand. No plastic whilst I was there. There are no concrete blocks on the beach - stones on each end. But that is called nature, I guess. I have stayed in many wonderful hotels around the world, but will certainly come back here. For accessibility, relaxation, the chill out factor, a little piece of old fashioned Thailand at a very fair price. Value for money and location: 5 stars.

Tubtim Resort, located on Tubtim Beach in Koh Samed, exceeded my expectations in every way. The resort offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere—not too crowded—making it an ideal destination for everyone, whether you're traveling as a family or a couple. The resort provides plenty of activities to enjoy, including swimming in the sea, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and beach volleyball. The beach itself feels almost private, with its soft white sand, but you're also free to explore nearby beaches on foot. The food at the resort is outstanding, and the Tom Yum is an absolute must-try! You can choose from fish, prawn, or chicken versions, and it’s hands down one of the best Tom Yums I've ever had. Another highlight is the steamed fish with soy sauce—it’s simply delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Tubtim Resort, and it’s no surprise that so many guests return year after year. In fact, some couples have been coming back every year for 35 years! That truly speaks to the charm of this place.

We live TubTim. The end of the beach location makes it calm and relaxing. You got everything you need in one place, and for us that’s exactly what we want. Breakfast is good, well filled and good service. Beds are extremely hard and the first couple of nights we all found it hard to sleep but it is what it is I guess. Restaurant could use a bit of communication when it comes to a table all eating somewhat at the same time. We would definitely eaten in house more if we knew we’d eat at the same time. Lunch was ok though. What really make the place though is the STAFF. Wow what a bunch of lovely people. We loved them last year and even more this year! Super helpful nice and welcoming. We had a lovely holiday in TubTim and we will definitely be back in the future. Happy SongKran and wishes of luck in the new year from us in the Appelberg Powell family!

We would like to thank the hosts and all the staff of this wonderful place. Our family came for 1 night but stayed for 4. A beautiful spot, clean beach, stunning views. The food in the restaurant is a special kind of pleasure: very delicious, wide variety, beautifully served, generous portions, excellent service, and fair prices. The beds in our bungalow were very comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and everything we needed was provided. The place is secluded, yet within a 5-minute walk along the promenade you’ll find all the necessary conveniences: restaurants, bars, supermarket, massage, motorbike and jet ski rentals. Fresh fruit and coconuts are sold right on the beach at good prices. You can also get a massage directly on the beach. A 7/11 is about a 15-minute walk away. We highly recommend this little paradise! 🌴

We enjoyed our small bungalow room with a balcony looking out over the sea. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The resort's position on a small, rocky peninsula gave it amazing views from the rooms, the restaurant and pool area. The newly renovated pool is small, but it is in a beautiful setting and has a pool bar with plenty of seating. Unfortunately it was quite crowded with young families when we were there. The staff was always friendly and helpful. A very nice, clean beach with crystal clear water was just a few steps away.

Lovely hotel in beautiful spot. Stayed in a beautiful seafront room with a great balcony. Room was clean, simple, excellent aircon, loads of water, kettle, safe, coffee. Just perfect for a weekend with friends. Pool in stunning location with friendly poolside bar. The pool itself needs a refurb and easier access for children or those with limited mobility. Also be aware that the ‘taxis’ can’t drive the last few hundred metres to the hotel entrance. Will definitely stay here again.

This is undoubtedly the nicest resort in the Wong Duean beach area, out on a peninsula so a little removed from the evening noise of the beach. We stayed here 13 years ago and were impressed with the improvements made in the intervening years, particularly the pool and surrounding area. We had a deluxe seafront room, which was beautiful. The little cabin style rooms are also lovely, but we appreciated the light and the amazing view from ours. The hotel restaurant is excellent, and no more expensive than any along the beach. However, it definitely feels 'nicer' than some of the beach ones, and if you need a break from the relentless loud music and fire-dancer shows on the beach, it's lovely to eat here. We enjoyed the breakfasts, although after a week there, they did feel a bit 'samey'! But it was good coffee, and the Asian dishes were generally very nice. The staff were unobtrusive but nice. The poolside bar was excellent, and served a wide choice of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The fruit smoothies were very nice, as was the iced coffee. The cocktails weren't very strong though!

Place is amazing. A wee paradise. Staff are exceptional, couldn’t be any more helpful. Room was stunning, wee hit looking out to the sea, two large double beds, perfectly clean with everything we needed. Outside terrace had comfortable seating area, pretty lights, wooden swings overlooking the sea. Pool as lovely, pool bar service was great Food was good too. Breakfast was included, a good selection. Location is beautiful, surrounded by sea on 3 sides of the property. We got dropped off by taxi and it’s a few minutes walk down the hill. It’s not too far, we had one person on crutches and she managed it fine. We loved this place and would definitely stay again, highly recommend

Resort was lovely and bungalows were clean and modern. Staff were friendly and attentive. Meals at restaurant were delicious and view from pool magnificent. We just needed to unwind so enjoyed ordering food and cocktails around the pool without having to move! Short tuk tuk to other areas on island ease as right out the front is an area where you can get them. Beach is less than 2 minutes walk with alternative restaurants (but imo, our resort food was the best). Night bars, massage and even a convenient store all along the beach. We would stay again.

Breakfast great location great pool in the morning before 7 only small pool but I could use before breakfast ,the pool 1/2 mtrs deep so fantastic for the kids to play for hours The beach so close and a lot of good restaurants on the beach.and great staff,

Cute hotel, back from the beach ,no sea views . My room was upper level , I wouldn't have wanted a lower level. Room was very nice, spacious & clean , bed was firm but very comfortable for me,I slept well here. . A good bathroom ,plenty of hot water for shower. Pool is small but ok ,enough to swim a bit and cool. There were 10 sunbeds there . Breakfast area is small , the chairs much too big & the purple cloths are kind of tacky. Choice for breakfast ok , does the job but limited choice . Staff were friendly & helpful . Spent one night only after a beach resort as I wanted a pool. There are not many places with pools round this area .The nearest beach is a bit crowded with sunbeds but can easily walk to Tub Tim in a few minutes or stop at other small ones on the way . There is no restaurant but plenty of places nearby , including a few shops . Easy to get taxi there or the songthaew to port for 30b . It's not cheapest but was fine for me and comfortable enough .

Pros: Big comfortable beds with good if a bit noisy air-conditioning. Nice bathroom and shower Daily 2 bottles of water provided and large fridge Great location near the beach and restaurants Pool is reasonable size and welcome in the heat Breakfast was decent with plenty for our Thai family but a bit limited for Western tastes Cons: not many beds round the pool and total lack of any comfortable seating if you fancy reading etc There is no restaurant despite the hotels title ,only open for breakfast No bar but some draft beer available so the hotel are really missing a trick here Overall the hotel needs a little tlc especially the ancient pool towels Overall we had a good stay and our extended Thai family loved the Thai food available at breakfast With some attention to detail this could be a great hotel but at the moment it's just okay and somewhere you don't want to spend much time during the day given the lack of facilities

spacious, clean rooms; good room service; great breakfast with a wide choice; clean pool; close to the beaches; towel for the pool and beach is provided

We accidentally booked two deluxe family rooms for us and our adult daughters but this turned out to be perfect.... as they were spacious and had two huge beds. Lovely little hotel and our rooms were near to the beach and dining area/pool. We didn't use the pool as we went to the beach daily, and only had small breakfast a couple of times but the food was good. Staff kept things tidy and clean and we had a lovely stay

Schöne Anlage. Der Strand, das Meer einfach wunderschön. Frühstück Terrasse direkt am Meer. Auch am Pool war es sehr schön. Pool und Bungalow wurde täglich gereinigt. Gehe gerne wieder hin.

Such a lovely location and setting. Vongdeuan has such a charm and wonderful feeling to it. The staff are like one big family and really make you feel comfortable and very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for you. I have stayed many times before and will stay again. The beach is one of the nicest on the island. The swimming is really safe. Snorkelling around the rocks on a clear day over on the far right is good fun. Swimming pool gets the most sun later on and is so refreshing and well maintained. There’s loads of restaurants along the beach for all tastes although Vongdeuans barbecues are probably the best in my opinion and the food is really good in general. The fireshow is something to see most nights. Book your table early if you want to eat at the resort. The beach looks amazing at night with all the lights and lanterns. It’s a short ride to the top of the island in a taxi if you want to visit the town and Sai Kaew beach. It does get very busy up there. Breakfast is really good. A big thank you to Jessie Bell, Tan and Non for looking after all our queries. Book your moped through reception. Simply a wonderful place.

I was so happy to find that the beach and water are as clean as I remember from being there several years ago. This is definitely the best resort on the beach. The grounds are well taken care of (They even sweep leaves off the beach) and I found the staff to be very attentive. The restaurant has a varied menu and the prices are much more reasonable than others on the beach. The breakfast is satisfactory and nice to have it included in my room rate. I look forward to returning as soon a I can. Since it was rainy season their was a symphony of bulldogs all night long. I was able to change rooms to one behind the pool which was much quieter.

beach was great, clean and quiet, calm and near the facilities, swimming pool clean and near facilities rooms were spacious and clean, staff friendly, welcoming and remembered us from 10 years ago when we visited as a family

What a great little hotel or rather bungalows very close to the sea shore. Friendly staff and beautiful surroundings. Clear sea, safe beach and also a pool. The food was good a good relaxing place

Exceptional location, right on the beach in a lovely bay. Room was spartan (no wardrobe, desk, luggage stand) and there were no toiletries, not even a hand soap in the bathroom and the Cable TV basically did not work but the exceptional location made up for it. The bay is secluded but there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby within easy walking distance. The adjacent restaurant is upmarket and serves great cocktails and good food (at a price).

The bungalow was clean and spacious. The bed was really big and comfortable. We loved the location the beach was amazing and their restaurant Reef was superior. I would definetly come here again.

perfect location, 10 metres to the beach, clean, large room, sea view, gorgeous beach, all facilities available and for affordable price- sup, kayak. Friendly and attentive staff, the beach bar is amazing.

Lovely location right on one of the most beautiful beaches staff are very friendly and helpful

Friendly staff and beachfront. The food is good.

Spent 5 nights at The C Samet in a poolside bungalow with an amazing view of the pool and ocean. The bungalows are simple but clean with extremely friendly staff and a nice beach-side breakfast. The resort is within easy access of plenty of bars and restaurants along the picturesque, crescent bay. A perfect spot for a quiet, relaxing holiday. I will definitely be returning with my family in the future.

From the minute we arrived to the minute we left the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were decently sized and clean. Buffet breakfast at the beach is an amazing way to start your day. Pool is a good size and very clean in and around it. Only a shirt walk along the beach to bars, restaraunts and a mini-mart. Coming and going from Ving Duean pier is so easy and quick to access the hotel. Overall, great location, fantastic staff and a lovely, clean quiet hotel. Highly recommend

Super Schöne klein Bungalows direkt mit Meer Blick , kleiner Pool , nettes Frühstück, netter Service ! Am Ende des Strandes deswegen schon ruhig , wenn man mehr Trubel möchte brauch5 man nur ein paar Meter laufen , kleine Garküchen an der Hauptstraße und gute kleine Restaurants direkt am Strand , preis / Leistung top, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt , vom Pier fährt direkt ein Boot vom anderen resort zum Strand ,

Absolutely nothing to complain about the property except for a small snake-viewing next to the swimming pool one afternoon. All staff and managers are extremely friendly, always helpful and welcoming. At the end of the beach with a little private portion and uninterrupted view from room and balcony.

Everything! Beautiful bungalow style hotel right on the beach, good sized swimming pool, good breakfast and very friendly and helpful staff.

Little paradise. Lots of improvements in 10 years,wow! On our first day Family room was spacious and you could not hear disco music at late night ,so can recommend to people with children.Second room was Sea view bungalow -beautiful and cosy jungle ,you can hear sound of waves at night. Beach just in front of you. For loud music we recommend to buy in 7-11 good night sleeping pills-really helped. Absolutely love resort for long 10+years. Happy place . Thank you!

That was amazing place. I love it's location - very close to the Sea. Very cheap food in restaurant (compared with another restaurant on the Island), but still very good. Will i book again? Sure!

The staff was extremely helpful and polite. The room was exceptional and great value for money and not to mention the breakfast options. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again.

Silversand was a fantastic resort and great location on the island. We loved everything about the place and food was also excellent. We will definitely be returning. 👍

The rooms were really clean, modern and well appointed. The food was exquisite and not expensive at all. Great customer service

I’ve just been to Tom pizza resort for 5 nights with my family I used to use another hotel as I’ve been to Koh samet for 15 years and about 30 times but due to the hotel prices I decided to try another so I came to Tom pizza there room prices was over 1000 Thai baht cheaper per night than the other hotel I stayed in so when I got here I was very happy with my room very clean very good aircon the hotel and reception staff and cleaners was very polite good shower and also the hotel is right on the beach also breakfast which is included in the room price is also ok I will sure to stay here again on my next trip overall this is a good hotel very happy Ady room 33 🙏

A good price compared to the rest of the, Ao Vong Duan Beach. Clean rooms, and definetly a good standard. I dont understand why there are so many negative comments on this place. 35euros for a deluxe twin room, and the most friendly Staff a Resort can ever possibly have! A genius detail about this place is the Tom Pizza extra service desk. There you have the most helpful and seeviceminded personen on the whole Island. He is a fixer. If there is a thing you need, this guy has it all!

I booked stay 2night , good service but food and beverage in restaurants slow but that fine and I think resort a little bit far to center of bar , another service is good If looking cheaper I recommend stay here and you can rent motorcycle but outside I think the resort should have a rental service

The hotel is right next to a beautiful beach with many different restaurants. The room was clean and cozy. Staff was always helpful and even lend us some cash, as we run out of money and had to rent a bike to get more money at an atm at the port.

Miljøet i restauranten er herlig. Maten er god. Personalet er hyggelig. Men hotellet trenger å bli renovert. Klimaanlegget var gammelt, filteret ikke rensert. Toalettet og badet var slitt og luktet av mugg. Det lakk fra vasken (ble fikset) og det var vått på gulvet.

It was a comfortable stay. Great breakfast, cozy pool, good price and delicious food in the restaurait was a comfortable stay. Great breakfast, cozy pool, good price and delicious food in the restaurant. This is a good place for another visit. See You!

This is a truly magical place that was a dream holiday for my family and me. It is predominantly Thai families here which is a huge bonus as no loud, drunken Brits! The staff and other guests are so kind and welcoming, especially to children. Everyday we would walk past the lady masseuses and they would wave and smile at us and the children (if you’re interested, Judy is the matriarch and is by far the most skilled and best masseuse of them all, but they’re all fantastic!) The food on the villa side is good but a short walk away on the next beach on has a bar that has an amazing selection of drinks and food (for kids and adults) that is exceptional. The ice cream is the best I’ve had anywhere, including Italian gelatarias. The beach is pristine with great rock pools for exploring and beautifully clear and safe water to swim in. This is a little gem that we will be returning to one day - so please don’t spoil it if you’re a scalley, uncultured Brit looking for cheap booze and a burnt bikini line.

I recently visited Samed Villa Resort, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning views and the pristine beauty of the beach, The soft, powdery sand felt like a dream under my feet, and the clear, turquoise waters were inviting and refreshing. One of the highlights of my visit was the cleanliness of the resort. It was evident that great care was taken to maintain the area, with no litter in sight. This made for a more enjoyable experience, allowing me to fully relax. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, with friendly locals and fellow beachgoers who created a relaxed vibe. I enjoyed lounging on the beach, listening to the gentle waves, and taking in the picturesque surroundings. The beach is also conveniently located near several bars, and restaurants, where I enjoyed delicious meals with a view. Watching the sunset while sipping my favorite Leo beer was the perfect way to end each day. I highly recommend trying the massage services offered in the resort they are absolutely 100/100! The skilled therapists provided a rejuvenating experience that left me feeling relaxed and refreshed. Overall, my experience was nothing short of spectacular. It truly exceeded my expectations, and I left with unforgettable memories. I highly recommend "KOH SAMED VILLA" to anyone looking for an enjoyable getaway. I can’t wait to return!

We booked a sea view villa, to get the most out of the island experience. The rooms are really well appointed and are designed in the traditional Thai style (but with a good TV and excellent wi-fi). The room had a small porch with seating, however I feel that it could have easily been screened better, to provide more privacy. The location was excellent, as it was only a 10-minute walk to the main town, and only a 15-minute walk to some of the more secluded beaches on the south of the Island. The hotel has a restaurant with seating directly on the beach, which makes for an idyllic (and affordable) evening meal (not to mention a front-row seat at the fire show). Breakfast is comprehensive and tasty. They provide a Thai massage in a traditional Thai wooden house (I think it is called the Lotus House) for under 400BHT, and this is well worth booking. They also provide bike hire, but we didn’t realise until booking out, as this would be a great way to explore the Island. We spent 3 nights there, and it just flew by. A tranquil break before we headed to the madness of Bangkok.

It is advisable to book a resort which has its own beach else finding a place to comfortably enjoy the sea shore may be painful in the Ko Samet. This is one of the finest places I enjoyed living in. The staff, the service, the food, the location everything is simply outstanding. Since the beach is exclusively meant for its guests doesn't matter if a guest doesn't take the cottage. Also it is accessible in such a way that it remains very private to the guests. How to reach: get down at Nandan Pier. Try to hop on a taxi which already has a few people so that you pay 20THB per head else they may ask for 150THB or 200THB for the whole vehicle. Tell the driver about the Samed Villa. A comfortable walk of not more than 70 meters from the drop off place.

Very hospital, lightful and cozy place! It's very pleasant to live in so beautiful and clean room, with really comfortable beds. Near are the beach and plenty of different restaurants with tasty food and normal prices. Breakfast was pretty good as well. I've noticed that the stairs could be too steep to senior people, but maybe this issue is solved somehow - it's better to ask an owner. In total - can strongly recommend Sky Cottage, we really felt care, love and skill invested in the place.

Very cute place. Has everything you could need - private room, comfortable bed, private bathroom, 3 minute walk to the one of the more private beaches on the island, free breakfast. So much for such a basic price. Great restaurant just down the street on the beach (Reef Bar) and just a 20 min walk to main beach. Breakfast had much more variety than expected - eggs, toast, rice, pancakes, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, OJ.

Beautiful immaculate cottage in an enclosed garden with nice veranda. 5 minutes walk to a fantastic restaurant little shop next door selling cold beers and 10 minutes walk to a beautiful beach with a couple of bars if needed. Our host was smiley and very helpful ( not sure what the negative reviews were about?) would go back the this accommodation any time. Thank you so much for our lovely stay.

All good. The staff is very friendly and helpful! By booking.com they were sold out for the whole period we wanted to stay and then in a quick call the manager sorted it out and then we could stay longer. The architecture is gorgeous, the hotel is very close to a hidden beach hahaha which is quieter than others but it's fantastic! Their breakfast exceeded our expectations!

Location was perfect, just a 2 minute walk from Tubtim beach up the road. Right next to Sabaidee restaurant which serves amazing food and Trio Bar further down which is such a friendly bar. The welcome was so friendly to our room, which was kept clean every day with towels replaced whenever you wanted. Breakfast was also really good, lots of choice.and tasty.

This is a wonderful place!!! The staff is helpful and polite, the breakfast is varied and very tasty!!! The restaurant has excellent cuisine. We checked into a room by booking, but after two nights we were upgraded. For three days we rested in a house by the sea, what beautiful sunrises and sunsets we saw !!! The sea has warm clear water, there is a lot of greenery and beautiful trees and plants on the territory !!! We are very happy that we chose this hotel. We will definitely be back!!! We wish them success and prosperity!!!

Honesty just love this property. I read a few negative reviews before arriving and wasn’t sure what to expect. I don’t know what people complain about, this hotel is amazing. Beautiful room and amenities, incredible location, heaps of options for breakfast. Sweet and helpful staff. Perhaps the best beach of them all!

Stunning place to be on the lovely island! A little 10 min drive on the motorbike from the town! But nope a problem for us! Stunning beach and staff were so sweet! Room was clean and modern with a beach vibe!

The stay here was just what we needed complete R&R the staff were all friendly and helpful, lovely touches in the room like umbrellas and beach bags will definitely return

Amazing amazing loved the hospitality and the breakfast in bed, very secluded but just a 5 min bike or taxi ride away from the party life. Really enjoyed my stay
