Samui Palm Beach Resort

Colin said, "The hotel is superb with 3 pools and a variety of excellent accommodation, we had a beach / pool view bungalow absolutely perfect. Location on a busy road main entrance with a few bars and resturaunts pen at night. Right at the beach side where there are plenty of other bars and eating places away from traffic noise. Well worth a 10 minute walk along beach to Fishermans village great for an evening drink and meal. You don t have to pay resturaunt prices, there are local places with wonderful food all on sea front. The whole holiday was an experience my wife and I will never forget."

Mr said, "We location were fine, but communal areas can best be described by the phrase faded elegance and are in need of some renovation.The only negative would be the attitude of Restaurant staff particularly at breakfast. The service was disorganised and unfriendly. This is not what one comes to expect in Thailand and gives a negative impression on an otherwise great stay. The room maids and reception staff were very helpful and efficient."

Steven said, "The hotel is overpriced for the quality of the rooms, the service and the restaurant. This is a good place for kids and families who don t care too much about the details or are not used to what Thai design and service can and should be like. I have been to Thailand between 35-40 timesand this place was just not up to standards at this price.We got a Villa which was nothing more than a good sized room. There were marks on the walls, cracks in the caulking and dried mold along the caulking in the bathroom. The room was otherwise nice, but for the price, it should have been much better appointed. Two days in a row, we were only given one beach towel because they ran out. We were told the other would be delivered first thing in the morning. The first day I chased them three times before we finally got our second towel afternoon. The second day, I had to go find housekeeping because it was not delivered.The restaurant is very mediocre. The Peace Hotel down the beach a few hundred meters has a better setting, better food and better service for half the price. Zazen is the best food on the island and is only a hundred meters the other way on the beach, but the people at the front desk won t tell you about either of these. Instead, we were directed to Poppies as the best restaurant on the island. Not only was it 300 bt each way and a 20 minute ride, but the food was like haut rather than nuevelle cuisine. It was nowhere near as good as Zazen s restaurant."
