Samui Paradise Chaweng

Selma said, "Excelent hotel, very well located, good restaurant and service. The villas are beautiful and cozy, and staff is super-nice. However, some minor management issues have to be solved: in one day, they ran out of coconut; in another, diet coke and mango juice.We would definitely go back to Samui and stay in Samui Paradise again."

Jeslyn said, "We through the ceiling-to-floor glass door, look at the sunrise on the comfort of my bed. The porch right infront is great, with a beach lounge sofa, perfect for relaxation with your love one, under the sun and viewing the beach. The outdoor jacuzzi was fantastic! It works perfectly (though it took me some time to know how it functions) and you can just laze inside and watch the sea. Amenities in the room was great, though it is true that you should bring an insect repellent with you. Ants are to be expected here and there, though not that much to scare you off. Right down the steps of the suite is the great beach. Though right on the beach, the suite still offers great privacy. Note that only 3 suites are located right on the beachfront, 1 paradise suite, 1 family suite and 1 honeymoon suite. I went to the honeymoon suite to take a look and the staff were very nice and helpful enough to let me see it. It is fantastic. Should stay in the honeymoon suite if financial is not a problem. Breakfast is ok, as the selection is not really a lot and same everday, but it is good enough. Though the resort is not located right at the heart of chaweng where all the action is, transport can be easily obtained right the front of the resort. Can always choose to walk down the beach for approx. 15-20mins and you ll reach the heart of chaweng. Probably due to the fact that the resort is located right at the end of chaweng, the portion of the beach here is pretty nice and secluded. Very nice for people who just want to relax. Staff are always so friendly and nice, very helpful and always assisting me with deciding for the day trips I want to go for and booking them for me. Though it might take a bit of effort to communicate with them, but overall, they were great, always with a smile and greeting you. Overall, I had a fantastic time and memories will always be great."

Maria said, "A really nice hotel with smiling staff always ready to help. Good breakfast overlooking the beach - which was on the south end of Chaweng and very quiet. Small pool but a nice one. Had a wonderful stay at the hotel!! Will definetely recomend this hotel! Hope to come back another year."

Teresa said, "I just have a vacation at Samui and a jacuzzi at the balcony. The suite is excellent. The service is good. The only thing I would complain about is the pest control. There are so many ants inside the suite. Other than that, we, my husband and two children, enjoyed very much staying in this hotel. Try to book the beach front room of this hotel."

kalpins said, "Fantastic.Everything you need and want is nearby,walking to chaweng.We .A great place to stay Did not stay in it,but the honeymoon suite looked devine."

Catherine said, "Resort de petite taille, non une usine à touriste, très grande facilité de réservation par Sawadee. Pas besoin de faire des visites avec des Tours sur place pour voir les Temple ou faire de l éléphant et voir les crocodiles, une location de véhicule cout 15 euros la journée, et 2 jours suffisent pour TOUT faire ! Je recommande tout particulièrement La paradise Suite à l hotel Samui Paradise à Chaweng Beach Koh Samui. La localisation proche de chaweng mais loin du bruit, (prendre un taxi collectifs devant l hotel, ça ne coute que 100 bath) (Compte 400 bath pour l aéroport dans une voiture particulière) les suites front de mer sont fantasiques, le sable très doux (pas comme d autres plages du nord ou de l ouest de l ile), les marées n empèchent pas la baignade, le restaurant est d un très bon rapport qualité prix, et les cocktails extras (mention spécial au Samui paradise servi dans une noix de coco). Que des superlatifs pour ce lieu, nous sommes venus avec 2 enfants qui ont logé dans notre suite, donc suffisament spacieuse pour nous 4, mais l idéal est la family suite juste à côté avec 2 chambres. personnel sympathique et prévenant, parlant bien anglais, beaucoup de touriste nordique et allemand (80%), les seules autres familles étant des expat de la zone Asie."

Lam said, "Nice hotel, located at the end of Chaweng (to the south)... possible to walk to Chaweng City Center (10 min.), friendly staff and nice rooms. Rooms are made up very nice every day."

Peter said, "If you do not need the hussle of Chaweng in front of your door, it is the perfect location, and you can still be downtown in a few minutes or via a nice stroll along the beach. Family suite was perfect, best equipped ( video, dimmers, jacuzzi on the terrace...), very new, own terrace over the beach. Food is nice and reasonable compared also to other restaurants along the beach. Beach very clean, away from the jetskis, but available by a short stroll. Constructin ( break down of a resort) right next door, will lead to some noise in future. Security very good, very friendly staff. If you stay in the smaler bungalows, take care about mosquitos."

Kanchanawat said, "We were staying in the Grand villa. In the webpage, the room looks larger than as it appears and the pest control has to be done better especially ants (they are in the bed). Overall, the villa is cozy. Hotel services are nice. Swimming pool is great."

Julie said, "The hotel was situated at the southern end of Chaweng Beach and was therefore quiter and less crowded than up in the centre. The deluxe seaview rooms vary in that some are seaview and some are far from any seeing of the sea and the rooms are fine for couples but not very spacious if twin share. The hotel was under renovation when we got there much to our dismay as our room looked out onto a building site. The manager was most helpful and arranged for us to move to a room away from the building. The new rooms are gorgeous so if possible try and get one of those. The staff at this hotel are really lovely and attentive. Would recommend this hotel but if swimming at the beach be as there can be a dangerous rip."

Liu said, "This resort was very nice for us.This is the first time stay in south chaweng.We all enjoy stay here,because here is out of busy chaweng center.It is very good for relaxing.I stay in seaside villa this time,because of this resort is not very big,so the room is not very big,but the bathroom is big.The retaurent offer good breakfast,we enjoy every morning eating with sunshine and fresh seawind.The service team is also very friendly.The pool is not big,but is fine for this kind of standard resort.Boys and girls enjoy playing water here or by the sea.My friends and my family all enjoy this resort and wish to visit again next time.Very strong recommendation for family with kids.Pls pick seaside villa type of room or suite,otherwise is too small for more people staying."

Liu said, "This is very good time to stay here.Because this is out of busy Chaweng center,but pretty easy for come in.We rent motobike and ride through the whole island.If you want to stay here,I suggest to choose villa type room,others is small for couple or more people.The restaurent is also good for money.The singer and band is good.Wish to be back here in the future"

Suzanne said, "Great location, huge potential but a long way to go in many areas. We booked a grand seaside villa, these are definitely the best choice. Request one around the pool but definitely not 601 (next to the restaurant and bar). Smaller rooms back on to the road, no privacy, no outlook. Beds are very hard (try requesting a new mattress!), room facilities are good, small so travel light, rooms are clean. Brilliant location - we thought the best in Chaweng, quiet, down the south end, worth the 10 min walk into the busy part of the strip. Stay away from the hotel restaurant - food is less than average. Suggest you negotiate a rate without breakfast - it was very ordinary. We walked down the road for great coffee and real breakfast for around AU$4. If you can deal with all of this, you ll have a great holiday!"

h.bekelaar said, "perfect hotel gelegen op het mooiste stukje strand van chaweng ver van alle drukte.hotel was nog niet helemaal klaar met de renovatie maar dit stoorde ons niet want ze dedener alles aan om het iedereen naar hun zin te maken.als je persoonlijke aandacht en service zoekt boek dan dit hotel, de huisjes bij het zwembad zijn een aanrader hebben perfect zicht op het zwembad en de zee. we hadden een super vakantie en we hebben nu al gereserveerd voor kerst 2008."

Reuben said, "I have friendly and add a great deal to the experience of staying at this resort. The resort is located at the southern end of Chaweng, the best part in my opinion, it is beautiful and quiet. Having said that it is only a short ride into the centre of Chaweng and a short walk to the many restaurants, shopping and bars at the southern end of Chaweng. The best of both worlds. The rooms on the beach are great (quite expensive relative to the other rooms but well worth it) the sea view rooms are very nice as well. The so called garden cosy rooms are fine too but definitely a big step down from the beach front, sea view and pool view rooms. I recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday at a resort close enough to the action is if that is what you want but far enough away if you just want to do nothing. This resort is currently undergoing renovations and I look forward to visiting when they are complete."

Lydia said, "The resort was located on the most beautiful part of Chaweng beach (maybe a little bit far away from the action if that is what you are after - about a 15 minute walk). We clean room. The resort was not too big and had a romantic and private feel. A few criticisms in relation to our room - the gaps in the beams in the ceiling let in mosquitos at night and the lighting in the bathroom was minimal resulting in an impossibility to do makeup, look for clothes in suitcases etc. The major problems were we barely ever had hot water and the attitude of the staff. In relation to the cold water problem, we had a resort engineer in our room for up to 1.5 hours for 3 out of the 5 nights and the problem was not fixed. In relation to the staff, they were the most unfriendly of any resort in which we have there were no apologies in relation to the cold water problem. I requested to speak to the manager who obviously ignored my requests and never contacted me. The resort is apparently being renovated shortly so hopefully the problem will be fixed. I would stay there again as long as the water problem was fixed and the staff learnt some basic hospitality skills."

Reich said, "It´s really paradise!!! Great bungalowas, a swimmingpool with a perfect view, beautyfull garden, very good breakfast and a very nice beach. Best place at chaweng!!!!"

KWOK said, "Jo and I enjoyed ourselves very much while staying at the resort. All the staff, including the receptionists, waitors, and cleaning ladies are very helpful and cheerful. We particularly would like to thank the Front Office Manager, Mr Wisil Pattanasing, for his warm welcome, enthusiasm. and help during our stay. We is very clean. The room is large enough to move around, with lots of greenery around the balcony. The location in the south of Chaweng gives a credit as it is very quiet. We would certainly come again the next time we come to Samui. Highly recommended."

Julia said, "nice hotel. we were uppgraded for the same money. location i calm and beautiful, but a bit from the chaweng centrum. u can rent a motorbike for 200 bath. nice restrant, not expencive, food taste good. u should think that they put on taxes like plus 7% and 10%. sweemingpool is fresh. we really engojed our stay"

Kate said, "Great hotel. Nice quiet spot on beach. Definitely recommend upgrading from garden room as it s small, hot and up the back of the resort. It s about 15 mins walk to town so we hired motorbikes from out the front for 200 bht a day."

Jeppe said, "9 days in paradise. We have enjoyed staying at this hotel. Nice clean bungalows, friendly staff and a restaurant with good food. Great beach with white sand. We will definately stay at this hotel again."

Theodor said, "the location on south end of chaweng beach is the greatest asset, samui paradise has!our bungalow was nice and always clean.the garden and beach gave us a very relaxed feeling.the staff of restaurant and bar is the real weakness of samui paradise.their command and understanding of english is poor at best.which really is a shame as the food and drinks are quite good."

Ella said, "Ideal location on the best bit of the beach - far away enough from all nightlife etc but easy to get to if you want to!! Resort is lovely and staff really friendly and helpful - rooms clean! If visiting chaweng beach again would definately stay at samui paradise again!x"

Richard said, "Great location - away from noise of the village but close enough to walk or take a short taxi ride. Staff was friendly, courteous, helpful. Beach, pool, bar, restaurant were all excellent. However... we had a large group and anyone who generally unappealing. There was a world of difference in the Grand Sea View Villa in which we natural light. I would recommend staying ONLY in these rooms or the Beach Front Villas."

Lisa said, "We had a wonderful stay here, the staff were fantastic, we found them very helpful(especially the girls on reception). We would stay here again. It is situated at the best part of the beach. Excellent food and we bustle, yet only 5 minutes away in a taxi. The main road which runs along the front of all of the hotels can get quite noisy at night from traffic."

Jasmin said, "We next to the a/cs and the street which was a bit noisy and not the best choice. But the resort is pretty and very good located at the end of chaweng beach. We had a safe in the room and the cheapest minibar ever which surprised us. The bed was very hard and not comfortable. Bathroom was nice. The restaurant is fantastic, they have tables right at the beach. A very good atmospere. The food was very good but expensive. They added 17% on the bill for service and government taxes which seems to be common in Koh Samui. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially at the reception. But one servant should be fired as he hassled us to buy him a beer for free when we were eating in the restaurant! It was his second working day and I think because of his behavior he will not stay a long time anyway. The trip we booked at the hotel was nice."

Andrea said, "This hotel is the best we ve had during our journey through thailand. The bungalows (luxury) are well cleaned and the location is wonderful. You stay on the end of the chaweng beach and there you have the silence you want. It only belongs to about 5 minutes to go in the city . Breakfast is great and delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We ll be there again!!!!"

Annette said, "We enjoy the 4 last dayes of our holiday at this wonderful place. We also will always recommend this Resort.The bungalows are nice and clean and the staff is very kindly and helpfull. We will come back"

Ken said, "Clean 3 1/2 star resort with excellent beachfront. Garden Villa we pleasant. Breakfast buffet selection very good with excellent seafront setting. Dinner offerings were middle-of-the-road......price was right and again, outdoor seafront setting was superb. Also enjoyed the location at the South end of Chaweng Beach. Not too busy but also not a long walk to the action (we like to walk a lot). Overall very good value for money."

Rattana said, "Room was ok, got what we needed, didn t have to ask for anything. Good location on beach, nice view. When we booked, we had arranged pick up service at the airport. As soon as we arrived, the hotel staff were waiting at the airport and took us straight to the hotel. Staff at the front desk was very nice and provide us with any information we may need and very helpful. Lady at the front desk really make a different. It made our time there so easy. She helped us got the ticket for ferry to Ko Tao and contected our hotel there to let them know when to expecting us. Very nice staff and great service."

Ying said, "The garden is wonderful. Also, the breakfast in the hotel is delicious."

andrew said, "Absolutely lovely hotel. The beach is perfect for swimming and location quiet yet close to the main shops and bars. Highly recomended."

Julie said, "We helped us with everything we needed. The room was a little small but very clean, comfortable and we loved our poolside bungalow. This part of the beach was clean, good swimming, and less crowded too. The breakfast was good, and the lunch and dinner menu were very extensive with a lot of variety and everything we tried was delicious. We would stay here again! Thanks Samui Paradise!"

Hawkins said, "The best place to stay in Chaweng. The cheaper rooms are not too spacious. The tropical garden and the pool area are just wonderful. Excellent restaurant and service - all in all I would definitely go there again."

Mario said, "We (a german couple) experienced a marvellous vacation in this hotel. De luxe Bungalows are to be recommended, superior seem allright and standard reflect the low price. Beach, breakfast and restaurant are above average. This is a place where you can take all the advantages of chaweng and on the other side have allmost a private cosy beach. We will sure be coming back and would recommend this resort to a friend."

E said, "Beautiful, wonderful place. The deluxe category is super while the standard and superiour is too spartanic for the pricing. Located at the best part of the beach, not too fussy but everything in reach. Lovely garden. Nice people."

Geir said, "Nice location on south side of Chaweng.10 minute walk to center of action .Ca 250BTH for Taxi.Located at a very nice stretch of beach.Resort has beachfront resturant were all my meals vere exellent.Pool maybe a little small,but very suitable for children.No problem since beach are just a few metrers away!Bungalows not big,about the size of standard hotelroom.Clean and well kept.Has fridge,tv and waterboiler.Cleaningservice is also good.All in all a nice quiet resort witch i have no problem in recommending to others."

Peter said, "Bungalows rather disappointing. Small and not so well equiped. Reception and staff very helpfull. Situated at best part of the beach."

William said, "Right at the quiet end of Chaweng beach, close enough to get into the main strip and far enough away to avoid it.Delux bungalows were gorgeous, standard ones were a bit tired although they were being renovated. Pool still not finished. However the beach is literally on your doorstep and is spotlessly clean. The water is cristal clear with no coral to cut your feet. The restaurant had the most extensive menu possible and was reasonably priced. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpfull. Would definately go back again and would thoroughly recommend it. However it is better to spend that extra bit and get the better room."

Neil said, "This was a great resort where we had a lovely room that was clean and modern. Great views and nice quiet end of the beach. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would definately recommend to friends and family."

Andrea said, "Hotel located on the beach a short walk from the nightlife, but that suited us. Christmas Eve gala lacked atmosphere but the food and was outstanding and the staff made a lot of effort to ensure that everyone had a nice evening. Very friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay and would reccommend the resort."

Mr said, "Excellent Hotel very well located at the quiet end of Chaweng Beach. Beach front apartment was terrific - food excellent. The staff were great, friendly, efficient and thorough. The Island had suffered from storms before we arrived and this had caused damage along the whole beach but Samui Paradise made very efficient repairs and even reduced our bill for the slight inconvenience. Very Highly Recommended - we loved it."

Steve said, "We spent almost two weeks in Samui Paradise Resort at Koh Samui.It is a lovely place, not so much crowded and quiet. The resort is located at the end of Chaweng beach, nevertheless it is so close to the nightlife of beach, but not too noisy. An open air restaurant / bar and Massage service is connected to the resort (low prices / well quality).We booked the paradise suite and we loved it. All the other suites are great but the paradise suite is perfect. We recommend the rooms 501 - 503.The resort is at the end of Chaweng beach, that means, it is at the end of Chaweng road as well.That is not perfect because the best shops and bars / restaurant is in the middle of road. You can walk (10 min) or rent a motorbike (only 4 Euro per day). Also a City car goes regularly to the center (0,5 Euro per trip)."

Pia said, "Very nice forestalling staff, bungalow was clean and the meals in the restaurant was very good (with the breakfast should however to offer more alternation). Beach was very clean and calm. The Resort is on the end of Chaweng Beach and it is very favourably over to rent a scooter (very favourable price over the reception)."

Ardizio said, "very nice for the price, a little far from restaurants and shops, but there were frequent tuk tuk and taxis not expensives. The bungalow was very clean and people friendly. Some little problem with aircon. We were going to stay 3 days and remained 8 days."

Jens said, "Nice Resort with a very beautyful garden. The Pool has me dissapointed, becouse the Filter was almost out of order and we have to call the management to clean the pool.We have two small childrens and they likes to stay at the pool the whole day.Restaurant and Breakfast ist very good with very nice service. The Room is nice and clean.The Reception is very helpful."

Alison said, "Very clean, excellent restaurant, the beachfront cottages are worth paying extra for. The beach is a lot quieter than the rest of Chewang. We enjoyed our stay very much."

M. said, "We were appalled and dismayed by our treatment at this hotel. Our group of 7 included two former professional travel writers who d never encountered such an experience in any of their travels. When a question over hotel transfers to the airport arose, the manager s response to our request for an additional ride to the airport was to inform us that, as customers of Sawadee Travel Agency, she was under no obligation to honor any of our requests--truly tactless service and an abomination to the hospitality industry on this island. Moreover, illegitimate charges to our minibar and hotel bar bills popped up daily, to which the hotel offered no resolution (i.e., we ended up paying for it!). Add constant construction and a foul sewage-like smell to the grounds, and you ve got one disappointing week in Paradise ."

Alexandra said, "My experience at Samui Paradise will be memorable because the staff was so incredibly helpful and friendly. The resort itself is small and cozy which is a feature I prefer to huge resort complexes. The location is perfect...on the quiet end of Chaweng beach where you do not have to contend with neon lights, throbbing music etc.... But you can walk along the chaweng beach road to get it because it is just at your doorstep). You can rent motorbike/scooters for cheap and we found it helpful. Chaweng road goes on forever!"

Keven said, "Excellent service, very friendly staff, full of smiles...We were there for Honeymoon for 3 days, a bunch of roses and a fruit basket were given us for free. The resort is in great location, just next to beachside and 10 mins walk to centre of Chaweng. Quiet and convenient for nightlife. Strongly recommended, and it has made our stay in Samui very memorable."
