White House Beach Resort & Spa

Mr said, "A Small, Personal,Friendly quiet hotel with wonderful location. About 20 minutes from the airport Staff v friendly and willing to help with smile nothing too much trouble. Swimming pool good size possibly slightly over chlorinated for my liking but v clean Sea particularly good for children .It is calm, the sand is smooth and depth increases very gradually. Plenty of umbrellas and recliners on the beach(No extra charge) Dinner is often served on the beach and it is an experience. Very good value for money We (three adults) enjoyed our stay and no hesitation in going there again"

Trividic said, "Not a good place to go ! The hotel is old, the thai fod is expensive and bad.Don t go there try another hotel on choeng moon."

alison said, "The best in Samui!!! we have just spent 2 weeks staying at The White House with our 2 small children and have had a truly wonderful time.We originally booked to stay for one week with the intention of staying somewhere different for our second week but after looking at several other resorts including the Sala Samui(Choengmon Beach)nothing compared to the all round excellence of this place. We have lots of space and a truly authentic Thai feel as does the whole resort which to me is the whole reason for going to Thailand.The fresh friut, cake and thai tea that was left in our room daily was a really nice touch and much appreciated by my 3yr old!!!The white House commands the prime position of Choengmon beach which is I believe Samuis best as it is quiet,safe and pretty wether it is high or low tide.The gardens of the resort a so beautiful I m missing them already.Fantastic staff,so helpful and friendly.The restaurant serves excellent food and Choengmon Beach has several other great places to eat if you don t feel like venturing down to Chaweng.We will definately be back to stay here again...... just magic!!"

Steen said, "We have been at several resorts at Koh Samui and until now White House Beach Resort & Spa absolutely is the best. Nice and warm welcoming. Very big clean room so, that you can place all from your suitcases. It has both aircon and fan. The garden is fantastic, so exotic and beautiful. The restaurant is one of the best with both western as well as Thai food, which we are very fond of.The staff is very nice and helpful.The beach is one of the best at Koh Samui. Small, Quiet, white sand, no big waves, nice for the kids and the grownups, with a lot of possibilities for relaxing, playing and having fun.That’s for sure �we are back next year."

Markus said, "...psssst....This is realy the best place at Samui. When you need to relax, go there! The Staff gives you the feeling that you are a president - in the white house of Samui.But don´t tell everybody! ;)We come again! Thank you for a great week!"

Claire said, "I thorughly enjoyed my stay at the White House. The staff were really friedly and helpful. The room was nice, cleaned every day and complimentary fruit and water was left. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a relaxing time by the beach."

Holger said, "We can recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday. It has a beautiful garden, the stuff is really nice. Everything was fine."

Øyvind said, "This is a nice resort in the middle of the Choeng Mon beach. I found both the hotel and the staff very satisfying. We the bathroom could need an upgrade. Everyday we had fruit or tea and bisquits served + newspaper. There were also TV with several international channels and a minibar + coffee-fascilities.The resort is a bit compressed, having no big areas or green lawns. It only has one main-street between the villas down to a pool and restaurant. The restaurant is very nice. Many choice of dinners (both thai and international) and drinks. Wine is expensive, but that s the way all over Thailand. From the restaurant you re just metres from the lovely beach and sea. Almost every night the restaurant serves delicsious fish (I tasted shark and lobster - very good) on the beach. They actually move the restaurant out on the beach and bring nice candles lights and live guitar-music. Very romtantic :-). The staff is truely amazing!They were cleaning the pool when we first got there, but it was ready for a swim some days later. It is a nice pool, and not to crowded. Although I could imagine it beeing somewhat different in high-season times. Not to big pool either, but ok. Choeng Mon beach is a very clean and small beach (about 1-2 km) with no problem with low or high tide water. It is not a snorkling-place - the water is not clear as you might think (please visit Koh Tao/NangYang Island if snorkling is you re favourite thing - Samui is nothing)You can rent kayakk or jet skies on the beach. There are also a handfull other restaurants on the beach, but the White House restaurant is both cheap and nice compared to the others..They also have thai-massage all over the beach + tailors.The staff and reception were great. Unfortunately not everyone speaks fluid english, but in most times it was never a problem. They can also arrange for taxies, tours and other things for you (it may be better than strolling the streat outside and get a bad tour-deal etc.)Chaweng is 300Baht (one way) away with local taxi. Choeng Mon centre (just outside the hotel) is nothing particular and never a place you would go shopping. There is a nice 7/11 nearby where you can buy grosceries. There are also ATM-maschines out on the street. I d still prefer Chaweng for shopping or a nice restaurant visit.My conclusion:OK things:- Value for money- Friendly and great staff- Clean rooms- Nice location by the nice and calm Choeng Mon beach- Good restaurant with good food and great staff- Never lack of towels or sun-beds (by pool or beach)Bad things:- Bathroom needs an upgrade (nothing wrong, just needs a fresh up)- Very compressed resort (no big areas or places for the kids to be)- Dogs on the beach (but I think this is all over the island)- Many sellers on the beach (if you don t like them, as I do)"

Joakim said, "Very nice beach for relaxing and for children. The hotel is also very nice but but be sure to pick the right room. We booked the suite and it was located far away from the beach and with one steep staircase up. We changed to a superior room closer to the beach witch satisfied our needs much better. I would try to book the junior suits that is placed next to the pool. The buffet breakfast was very good. Staff is very helpful but not so good at English so be sure to explain so they understand.Cheap and good massage at the beach.We would definitely stay here again."

Friedhelm said, "The place is really beautiful. the tropical garden is fantastic. We the room was - in our opinion - a little bit dark, we would recommend to take a 1st floor suite. Room and bath were clean, the whole service was fine, pleasant and helpful. Beach is fine and sandy and for families with children this place would be perfect. The restaurant at the beach offers good food. We we enjoyed being there."

Olianne said, "Lovley hotel!Not the most luxurious, but wery good location at the Choengmoon beach with wery helpful and friendly staff.We were a bit dissapointed because we ordered a room with two bedroom because of the children. When we got our room the door between the rooms where broken. It was unpossible to close and could not be fixed. But because we had a room with poolwiew, so children could sleep at daytime when we used babycall and be aware of long stairs to get to 2 floor rooms. If there is something missing at this place, it must be a relaxinplace to sit outside rooms.The restaurant is wery good, and staff wery helpful. The beach is the best on Koh Samui if you have children, -wery calm water here. Visit the massage ladies on the beach, very good and lot cheaper than at hotel.Not to much to do at night, everything was closed at 11 o clock. Recomend the taylor across the street KING S TAYLOR. They give you best price and quality on the clothes.(We tryed differents.) Recomend this place if you like small, cosy hotels, and care for a good beach. Quiet place, but near by Chaweng and Boputh if you like some moore action! Here you can relax!!!Love to go back."

ABASSAY said, "Very nice place to stay. Very Quiet,beatifulbeaches and white sand. Excellent staff particularly Tao and Jiew who are always helpfull and with a large smile. This hotel is the best place for familly.Thanks a lot for this pleasant moment!!"

Mr.William said, "I was disappointed in the White House. I thought it was overpriced for the quality of the room and the hotel. We had a Junior Suite and the first room we were given smelled so musty that we had to request another room. The room was in need of refurbishment. Overall, I would choose a different hotel next time."

Elisabeth said, "We the rest in the Changdao Suite. Would recommend the Junior Suite. The Changdao Suite does look very nice in Thai Ayutthaya Style (everything wood, nice statues,...), but you hear everything around you and everybody can hear everything from you. And the suite is close to the reception,so it is far away from the beach. In the Junior Suite we got a honeymoon welcome with rose blossoms all over the room and a heart made of rose blossoms on the bed and a huge flower basket. Fruits or pinapple cookies every day on the room, the resort itself with lots of plants everywhere, very nice. Restaurant is definately overpriced, same quality but much cheaper at the next restaurant just 20 meters away. The beach is fine, but very flat. At least 5 tailors on Choengmon Beach, but no other shops besides Seven 11 and 2 small local shops and a pharmacy. Not a good place if you want action or shopping possibilities, but good place to relax. Would recommend it."

Mary said, "The gardens, pool area and beach were lovely, and there were an excellent variety of foods for breakfast, as I d expected from the reviews and internet research. I was a little dissapointed to see a jet ski hire set up on the beach as I was expecting it to be a quiet location. None-the-less, it was a great spot for swimming and getting some rays. We there was a fresh flower arrangement in the room - both of which were lovely. The daily delivery of papers, tea and biscuits or fruit were also refreshing touches. The negative aspects relate to the suite. Although the private courtyard and deck chairs were great, the suite was unfortunately quite dark, musty smelling and leaked badly in serveral places in the living area after a heavy down pour (which probably explained the smell), and we had lots of mosquitos to contend with inside - despite the screens. The other rooms within the resort are much newer and may not have these some problems."

Audrey said, "White House Hotel was wonderful. Management and staff very hospitable and friendly. Food was lovely and rooms very nice and very clean. We originally planned to stay 4 nights and then changed our booking to 11 nights because we were so happy with this hotel. The beach area is lovely. Very relaxing to sit and enjoy the views around the shore. Nice places to eat also near the hotel including a lovely Indian restaurant just accross the road. Not much shopping near the hotel but that is just a 6 min taxi drive away into Chaweng. Overall, we were extremely pleased with this hotel and would definately revisit again :-)"

Baechler said, "Best Hotel on the island with the most beautiful beach. Staff excellent + helpful, rooms very cosy and nice. The room-fares are absolutey ok. If visiting Koh Samui: we can warmly recommend White House Hotel!!!"

Richard said, "Very nice. We eve though the rooms were tight it didn´t fell that way because of the garden. Nice rooms although the bath tub as a little torn. Very good breakfast. Pleased with everything."

Temora said, "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. All staff are extrememly polite and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and clean with all amenities. Breakfasts good and varied. Can t really go wrong with this choice."

Reece said, "This hotel is wonderful. The beach is the nicest on Samui and the hotel is gorgeous. Best hotel for the money I have been to in Thailand (and I have been to quite a few in Phuket, Chaing Mai, Cha-am, Ko Chang, Ao Nang, and Ko Lanta). Only negative is that the bar and food is expensive but cheaper options are available right next door on the beach. Stay here."

Steve said, "This is the second time we have could not do enough for you. The food in the resturant was suberb and the service excellent. The grounds were immaculate with lots of plants and statues. We will certainly be staying there again."

Marcus said, "The White House Hotel was everything I had read written by previous costomers from nice restaurant, beautiful vegetation, to low water pressure for the shower. Over all the value was great especially the 3 nights pay only 2 during slow season. We also received a fruit basket and flowers in our room. Service was excellent including tour arrangemnts and laundry and every staff member was kind and helpful. The swimming pool was good and only deep area was in the middle of the pool -- great for soemone just learning how to swim. The food was very delicious no matter what you order from steak to seafood to potato soup. The only thing I did not like was the many flies visiting our food in the restaurant. I agreed with the previous customers that the restaurant was better indoor. It is really number one place for homeymooners for romance and quiet living. It was not far from Chaweng Beach with a lot of shops and restaurants but difficult to find a restaurant with air condition. The owner of the beach tailor shop told us that during heavy rain the whole area was covered with a couple of feet of water but we did not experience it ourselves, although one heavy rain happily chased all the flies away when we dined in the restaurant. I was a little disappointed with Mr. Ung s Big Game Fishing while only 5-10 fish were caught and we did not barbecue on the boat or take back fish to hotel as advertised. Cheongmon Beach was bigger but not as clean and cozy as Leela (Seekatang) Beach in Ko Phangan. Depending on the individual occasion, White House Hotel is definitely high quality, very clean and very recommended. I will come back for another honeymoon."

Heena said, "Good hotel with nice big rooms in a lush tropical setting. Staff is friendly and food was good."

Jillian said, "Located on a lovely beach, but beach not as quiet as I imagined. Hotel staff friendly and food was decent. no view and the hotel bar was being renovated which was noisey throughout the day and early evening. This hotel would suit families with young children."

Mrs. said, "We just came from Koh Chang, where we calm. The White House is busy and a little bit worn down. There was absolutely no water pressure and bathing meant having hot/cold showers with little water. We had a Junior Suite, which was exactly the same size as the normal rooms. The staff, however, were absolutely impeccable. Friendly and always doing their very best to help, great with kids and they even organized a birthday cake for our 6 year son without being asked. We chose to go the the Ban Laim San Resort for the last two nights, as The White House and the beach was too crowded for us."

Martin said, "Very nice and cozy hotel.Perfect and nice staff there."

GARY said, "Very nice hotel & resort, Great welcome awaited us in a cool room with fresh coconut to get us in the holiday mood.Downside was as no bar facilities to sit and relax in we spent alot of time in Cheong Mon bungalows and Otto s during the day.Very pleasant surroundings, the gardens & rooms were immaculate. Great time was had, however breakfast choice was not varied enough and the restaurant layout of tables was cramped."

Apollon said, "We in a fantastic location. Staff were very friendly and helpful and especially great with our little boy! Would recommend highly and look forward to returning!!"

Susannah said, "This is a very pleasant property. Rooms are spacious (not luxurious) and housekeeping is very attentive. It is located well away from the hustle of Chaweng- be advised that cabs to get into town are about $7 one way. The pool is very nice- this isn t a luxury property but location is very beautiful, grounds are very pretty, staff is excellent- helpful, polite and accomodating. I would rate it a 3 star and would definitely recommend it for it s charm and location."

joan said, "The hotel and rooms were not as nice as the photos on the website so initially we felt let down. However, after a couple of days we realised we had come to a very special place. The staff were very attentive but not over friendly, food was good and the beach location was perfect. I think we chose one of the best beaches on Kho Samui. We would only return if owners spent money on upgrading the bedrooms and front of house."

Kirsen said, "White House hotel was a very quaint and nice place to stay. We enjoyed the gorgegous gardens and loved the sitting room and tea and cookies/fruit that was brought to us each day in our room. The staff was also very helpful and the beach and the water beautiful! It was a great place for laying out on the beach and for swimming in the ocean (a beautiful sandy bottom). The only dissapointing thing was that the breakfast buffet often had ants crawling in the fruit, jams, and by the juice glasses. It was important to go early to breakfast so that you wouldn t see the little critters!(breakfast was served outside) Other than that, the hotel was very quaint and my husband and I would go back again!"

Stephen said, "This was our second visit to the White House and it was our last. We were moved into 3 different rooms within 24 hrs of arrival due to different problems and the room we were eventually settled in had a bathroom that stank of sewage and a spa bath that didn t work. The restaurant was very poor for the price it was charging, the service was pretty hit and miss too. Cheong Mon beach itself has undergone a lot of development and is now rather busy and full of hawkers constantly patrolling the beach, it s lost all it s charm as far as I m concerned."

Roy said, "We are very satisfied with or stay. Very friendly staff, good space in the room.(superiour suite room). The food in the restaurant was the best on the beach. We will defentlig stay here again. Good value for money."

Allen said, "Simply put, the White House is awesome. I did a lot of research on line trying to decide where to stay on Koh Sumui. I decided on the White House and must say that I was not in the least bit disappointed. In fact, the White House surpassed every expectation I had of the place. My wife and I spent our honeymoon (5 days and four nights) at this wonderful hotel and must say we were both thoroughly impressed. The hotel is lovely. The plant life on the grounds of the hotel is spectacular. The hotel staff is totally professional and absolutely committed to ensuring you have a wonderful stay. The rooms are excellent too. We offered plenty of room to relax and be very comfortable. This is the place to be if you want a relaxing and inviting environment. Every room is seconds from the pool and beach area. The pool and beach area are lovely, relaxing and just a great area to spend some time in the sun. If you want to get around on the island, I would recommend renting a motorbike. My wife and I rented a motorbike from a small business right across the street from the White House. The price is very affordable (about three U.S. dollars a day). It’s the best way to get around the island for some sight seeing, etc. This place comes highly recommended. We will be staying at the White House again next time we come to Koh Sumui, which should be next year."

LAURA said, "Beautiful hotel resort, gardens are well maintained and clean area. staff very friendly and room was surprising big & very comfortable. After visiting most of the island, I am very pleased to have chosen the Cheung Mon beach, as this was one of the cleaniest and queiter beaches.100% recomend anyone staying here. Didn t want to leave!"

George said, "My wife and I staff were the perfect hosts, and served us far beyond our expectations."

Tom said, "A hotel with very special surrondings. There where four apartements in every building on each side of the road down to the beach. The hotel is situated in the middle of the beach. The garden was magnificent - felt like amazonas and the furniture and entrance of the hotel was quite nice. Travelled with a child - 14 months - and the staff was absolutely fantastic. The room was very big and the every day cleaning was very good. Breakfast buffet was inkluded and there was a lot to choose from. The breakfast was served almost on the beach. The reception was very helpfull - could rent motorbike, order daytrips, sightseeing etc. The hotel also had three computers which was free to use for the guest - very good for images and burning cd. The water pressure was turned down to save water so it was hard to get a proper shower. The quality of the restaurant varied too much. Many lovely restaurants on the beach and prices where much cheaper. Will especially mention Crystal restaurant with a very special atmosphere and delicious food. People come back there year after year. Choengmon beach is nice and quiet, but all the dogs should not be a part of the beach. Many guests had earlier all the others. Thank you ! ;(O)"

David said, "Beautifully decorated hotel on in my opinion the best beach on the island. Also close to Chaweng if you want nightlife. Very comfortable room (deluxe room) with the hotel welcoming us as a honeymoon couple with a special effort. Problems with the plumbing were encountered but fixed speedily but the shower was not up to standard. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall the perfect honeymoon destination on Koh Samui."

Sara said, "Wonderful service. Extremely friendly staff. One extra special aspect of our stay was the tea and fruit/cookies that were left in our room every evening. Gorgeous foliage throughout the property. Nice pool. Beachside restaurant (including the complimentary buffet breakfasts) was very pleasant. Rooms (including the junior suite) were pretty basic but very clean. Beach was quiet. Only concern was that it was not as easy as desired to get into Chaweng from the hotel - it was 300 baht one way for a cab ride that should have cost less than 100 baht."

Hilary said, "Very friendly and helpful staff, rooms are of a good size, lacking perhaps in room for puttings things away. Could do with a place to sit outside comfortably near the room (small children needs) Would return. Delightful food."

Peter said, "This hotel ist perfect for a romatic stay!The service, accomodation and the behaviour of the staff was excellent. Our thai-styled suite was very comfortable. The location of the hotel is very good, because the beach ist less crowded than Chaweng beach."

Sophia said, "This hotel was fantastic! great rooms, great location, great beach and the staff were amazing!!! We had such a wonderful stay here"

Nicola said, "Initially disappointed that no rooms with sea view but the atmosphere and location of the hotel made up for that. The staff were really friendly and efficient. Very relaxing and peaceful holiday - gorgeous beach/lovely food - would recommend."

Jan said, " plenty of things to keep you busy during the day. The pool was very clean and inviting. Restaurant very romantic atmosphere and breakfast had good choices. Staff were very friendly - definately stay there again, no hesitation."

Anthony said, "We had such a wonderful time, have yet to find much to complain about.Tialand is by far our most favorite destination, such beautiful people and wonderful hotels."

Simon said, "The location of the hotel is superb. It is quiet, beautiful and simply a wonderful relaxing place - if you want a romantic stay - this is the place. The gardens and the beach is absolutely amazing and gorgeous. Do rather stay here then in Chaweng Beach if you are after a more intimate stay. The only slight criticism is that the breakfast buffet was not always in best shape (fruits were not freshly prepared at times, some plates remained empty). We would defininitely recommend this place."

Petros said, "We spend 6 days in this beautiful hotel. The service, accomodation, and behaviour of the staff was excellent. All of them were very friendly and helpful. The daily cleaning service was very good and reliable. We also found no difficulties when we wanted to book a taxi from the hotel while the pick-up service from and to the airport was excellent.Another very convenient thing was that we also allowed to check out at 4 pm instead of 12 o clock in order to go to the airport and we did not have to worry about our suitcases. The only minor negative commend we would like to make, was about the breakfast which you would expect to be better in a four star hotel, and it was served in an open area which was a bit hot.It would be nice if you had the opportunity to be served in an air-conditioned area. Our suite by the pool, was very comfortable and correlated well with the pictures we have seen. The hotel is located in a less crowded beach than Chanweng, which is very good, although you do not feel isolated as there are a lot of restaurants and facilities around.Overall we had a great time in this relaxing place with the smiling staff."

Sarah said, "We very much enjoyed our honeymoon stay at the White House. The hotel is nice and small, which allows them to offer personal service. The beach here is lovely with calm water and is steps from every room. The fresh fruit at breakfast every morning was fantastic. As Americans, we felt slightly isolated from all the Germans who were staying there, but it didn t detract from our enjoyment. I would highly recommend this hotel to someone who enjoys a cozy, laid-back atmosphere without all the embellishments of a big, sprawling resort."

Werner said, "Quiet, excellent service. I would like to choose it again"

Ã¥sa said, "We quiet environment. We and our children 7 and 10 years old liked the swimminpool which was near the sea. We had a superior room with tv, two extra bed for the children and much space in the bathroom. Very comfortable and nice.The staff was very friendly and polite. We already thinking of going back next year at the same hotel."
