Samui Honey Cottages

Peter said, "My word, what a find. If we had 10 boxes to tick, the Honey Cottages ticked 15 of them!An amazing small friendly resort right at the waters edge situated on what we feel was the best beach remaining on Samui. Staff are fantastic, lovely Restaurant and bar right on the beach. Stunning Sea veiw s from our cottage.Good basic accomodation with a personal touch including everything you need for a very enjoyable stay.Cant wait to return!"

Paul said, "Booked a garden bungalow in this hotel; it was clean and a nice size, with a good bathroom. Bedroom had a TV, safe, mini bar, and you got 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water every day. Breakfast was included in the Honey Seafood restaurant at the end of Choeng Mon beach. The grounds of the hotel were nice and lush, and directly on the beach."

Oliver said, "It is not easy to find, the street is very bad, but the resort and its location is very good. The beach is very beautiful, but not much good for swimming because of some rocks in the water. Opposit of the Beach is a small Island which can be reached by walking. The water is not deep. The Bungalow was clean and beautiful. Breakfast and Restaurant is directly on the Beach."

Mikael said, "Very nice place to stay at, with very friendly staff. We had a reservation for four nights, but we peaceful and only 20 meters away from our garden view room. The breakfast was not good, but you can live with that because everything else was perfect."

Robert said, "This was a great spot. We enjoyed the beach with it s breezes and the water was very nice. We had a beach view room which was quite nice but the garden view rooms would also be nice. Meals at the restaurant were good so I would recommend getting breakfast included. If you want to see more of the island it will cost lots by cab so I recommend renting a car or motorcycle - very reasonable."

Yossi said, "It is a great place for a peaceful vacation, unlike most of the other resorts in Sumui. We enjoyed it a lot. The rooms are very nice and it is located on a small isolated beautiful beach with a variety of good restaurants."

Ditte said, "We had a family room with alot of space for a family with three children. Placed onto the beach wich is nice for children with calm water and lots of sand. However if you dont want to see only european people dont go here, and dont go to koh samui at all."

Mathew said, "The room was clean and tidy and well presented. Staff were very helpfull. It should be noted though that the COMPULSORY new years eve banquet ThB$2000 pp was not very nice. The food was scant and of average quality, and no alcoholic beverages were included in the 2000 baht price. We were both highly unimpressed.Otherwise a nice place to stay."

Goh said, "We were given a bungalow right with perfect sea view even though we booked one with garden view . We loved our little cottage. The room was quite big. Our windows were big so the sea view was perfect. The room I had came with a safe. Quiet and peaceful. The staff were friendly but cannot really speak english that well. Breakfast was satisfactory. One problem we had with the whole place was it somehow lacked the atmosphere. Even though the hotel was fully booked, we could hardly see anyone around. The beach was ok, but there were many twigs and corals washed ashore. The sand is rough compared to Chawang beach. If only this hotel can situate itself in Chaweng beach..... We had a nice time nonetheless."

Patrick said, "Nice bungalow. Beatiful view. It was very big waves and blowy so we couldn´t swim. At the breakfast that was included you could choose two things from a breakfastmeny. Ex coffe and toast. Not a breakfastbuffet that it was at the other hotel. There were not many people at the hotel and felt desolate.The hotelstaff said it was low season. Longer from chaweng than we had expected. We left after two nights, not four that we had booked."

Svante said, "We left the kids back home for a quiet relaxed vacation and the found a perfect place. Friendly hotel people , not so pushy, ie, if you wish to be left alone , no problem. Some were perhaps not fluent in english but that wasnt really a big problem. Rooms were nice with AC, fridge, and premier league football on the telly every night. Always fresh fruit and 2 bottles of water complimentary every morning. We had planned to move to Chaweng Beach after a couple of nights , but after a full day there among seedy salesmen and strumpets we decided to stay at our hotel the entire stay. Breakfast was included at a a beautiful restaurant onthe beachfront and the servants were perhaps a bit distraught , probably newly hired but ok. However , if you want party -go somewhere else. It is all nighty nighty at 21.30 , but that was what we sought for. So we can definitely recommend this place to others who seek beauty and relaxation. Good price too.."

Daniel said, "Very nice place. Beach has enough to keep you occupied for a couple of days (decent selection of eateries and a couple of bars) but its also a 10 min cab ride to a couple of larger places if you want more of a lively experience. Actual resort restaurant (slightly further up the beach) is fantastic and is also the location for the very good breakfast. Rooms always clean and tidy and very pleasant staff. Not a lot of difference between beach and garden rooms so go for a garden one and save a bit of baht."

Tiaan said, "It is our 2de time we it is still the best and affordable cottages on the island. Job well done, Honey team.Thank you Tiaan & Loret"

Rosie said, "Fantastic! I had all the comforts to start my holiday in style...TV, great air con, lovely bathroom and shower, great safe and minibar/fridge, comfy bed. The restaurant is a 2 minute walk at the end of the beach and is absolutely beautiful...sand underfoot, great food and service. Also had room service one night which was fab....quick, arrived on a huge tray and presented just as if I d been at the restaurant....all for about £4! There s also a beach bar for lunch/snacks/drinks if you don t want a little walk. Choeng Mon beach is gorgeous - white sand, casurina trees to provide shade, and its very quiet and peaceful but has enough bars/restaurants/people to not feel too isolated. Honey Cottages have sun loungers on the beach for guests, and these, along with the beach were never crowded at all. Lots of opportunities for beach massages, manicures, etc, and beach sellers wandering along selling beach clothes and food....do have a look at what they sell - they re not at all annoying, they re very pleasant and friendly and if you re not interested a smile and no thank you is enough for them to leave you alone. I was a 29 year old on my own and I really enjoyed my visit to ChoengMon and Honey Cottages and would recommend it to anyone at all looking for rest and relaxation on beautiful Koh Samui. I moved on to Maenam beach which was also fantastic!"

Rosie said, "Fantastic! I had my heart set on a beachfront bungalow but as I booked last minute this wasnt possible, so I had a deluxe garden view. It didnt matter because it was still so close to the beach....a 10 second walk! I was surprised that my apartment was upstairs but again, it didnt matter at all. The apartment was very clean and cleaned every day...no bugs at all! I had all the comforts to start my holiday off really well...good aircon, comfy bed, TV, great safe and minibar/fridge, and lovely bathroom. The complex was also very peaceful and felt safe and professional. The restaurant was a 2 minute walk to the end of the beach and couldnt have been in a more beautiful spot - almost right on the beach, sand underfoot! I ordered room service one night which was fab - all delivered on a huge tray looking exactly as it would have done if I d been at the restaurant, all for about £4! ChoengMon beach is beautiful - white sand, blue sea, and lined with casurina trees to provide much needed shade. It is a small beach - you can walk the length of it in about 10-15 minutes but is still peaceful and not at all crowded, just the right amount of people and beachsellers (try the beach sellers-they re very friendly and dont pester you at all...just say no thank you with a smile!) to keep it interesting, and a good selection of beach bars/restaurants. Honey Cottages seemed to me to be in the perfect location on the beach...central and away from the slightly busier, more commercial end. I had a wonderful stay as a 29 year old on my own and would recommend it all for anyone looking for rest and relaxation in a beautiful environment."

K said, "Lovely stay here, great room right on the beach and really friendly staff. The location is lovely and quiet but the restaurants on Choeng Mon are just a couple of minutes walk away. Would defintely stay here again."

Stephen said, "We chose this place based on the reviews given by other guests on this website and were pretty disappointed. We booked a Deluxe garden view room but received a room with a view only of another room occupied by three foul mouthed essex boys. We decided to upgrade to a superior deluxe room just to get away from them.Our room was reasonably sized, with good mini-bar, comfortable beds, good choice of TV channels. Safety deposit box in room was almost impossible to work out and comes with no instructions. Our bathroom adjoined the neighbours bathroom, and for some reason the partition wall stopped a foot short of the ceiling. This gave the feeling of being in a public toilet, as you can hear your neighbour s washing, bowel movements and anything else they may be doing. Hot and cold levers for the shower have also been confused (I had three days of cold showers before my wife told me). View from the restaurant was nice. We had lunch there once though and it wasn t great.Beach was a bit dirty. Same goes for the sea. The water here is calm and shallow, but murky, so ok for paddling but not good for snorkelling. No pool at the resort either.Upon leaving we were charged 400bt by reception for some bloke (who wasn t even a taxi driver) to take us to the airport. That ruled out any chance of me leaving a tip for the staff. For 2000bt a night in peak season I would have said this place was reasonable value, however I expect lot more for the 3900bt we paid. We that was in a different league."

FOURCADE said, "tres bien"

Guiora said, "all our wishes came true - we had a great room with ac and a view to the beach, which was only 20 yards and 2 coconut trees away. a lovely and quiet beach, and they also have a great restaurant and very decent breakfast."

LaCucinaCompany said, "The hotel are small but cozy. We the view are great, all the staffs offer a real hospitality with heart & soul. The beach are quiet & the water are clam because of the natural barrier. High standard housekeeping service makes all the rooms very clean and keep the fine sand away. The hotel have free bottles water since the water in the bathroom can only use for shower. The bed in room are stanard double bed, check before you confirm your reservation. A great place for relaxation."

Axel said, "Our room and bathroom was sufficient for our 8 days stay, clean, and well made up every day. Choeng Mon beach is a quiet place, the beach and swimming possibilities are marvellous. The hotel staff was very friendly, and the service was good. What we could want was some more effort in cleaning the beach, and a written instruction for programming the safe lock. We definitely want to come back to this place and this hotel."

Janet said, "A little unsure of what to expect on our arrival,but a delightful small complex of on the beach bungalows. The staff were helpful and informative. The downside to the resort is that they should employ staff to ensure the beach is kept litter free it appears to be someone elses problem with no visable litter baskets.We would return to this resort again and have no hesitation in recommending it as a place to stay"

Aine said, "Would highly recommend both Choeng Mon Beach and Samui Honey Cottages. Beach is gorgeous, clean, family friendly. Staff excellent (as are the staff of Island View 2 next door. Honey cottages gives good value with excellent facilities. Definitely stay on this beach for a romantic or quiet family holiday away from the madness of Chaweng."

Loret said, "A superb location if you are loooking to relax and be at ease, with no fuss. Beautiful scenery, located right on the beach. Staff helpful and friendly. Plenty massage huts on the beach. I will definately go back to the same place. Not expensive."

Theresa said, "Beautiful location. I think anywhere you stay on this beach would be fantastic. I enjoyed my stay here though think there are places that are better value for money. Charging 500 baht for staying an extra three hours seemed extreme and 200 baht for the pick up from the airport (which by the way didn t turn up!) The cottage was full of character though and seconds from the beach. Suited me fine."
