Find popular Koh Samet hotels frequently selected by travellers for business, leisure and family stays.

Tubtim Resort

Tubtim Resort

📍 13/15 Moo 4, Koh Samet
★★★★ 9.2 (58 reviews)

"We really enjoyed our stay at Tubtims. We love that it is very quiet. The resort has a lot of ocean front property so customers are not one on top of the other on the beach. The road ends at Tubtims so there is no through traffic. The restaurant is right on the beach so you eat with your feet in the sand. We would certainly stay at this resort again."

Sai Kaew Beach Resort

Sai Kaew Beach Resort

📍 8/1 Moo 4 Tumbol Phe, Phe Subdistrict, Koh Samet
★★★★ 9.1 (586 reviews)

"Over all great experience. From the ao prao pier to kho Samet, the boat ride was smooth and when we got there, unfortunately our rooms were not ready but changed in the toilet and was able to enjoy the beach and pool while we waited. Walking distance to the down town where lots of restaurants. Hotel's restaurant was good. Delicious breakfast with many choices of bread, cheese, fruits and hot dishes. Everything was quite tasty. Dinner at the beach club Winnks was good, too.Live band performance, on site fire show. Foods were good and drinks were amazing. Maybe it is because of the season we traveled but the waves were quite strong and water did not seem clear. I have been to ao prao beach before and I believe for a family with small children, I recommend there. If you are group of friends looking for excitement, maybe here is better."

"Amazing beach hotel with a perfect location right next to the beach! The room was very nice and clean, and the interior looked modern and beautiful. Everything inside the room was well arranged and comfortable, making the stay very relaxing. Waking up with the beach view and being just steps away from the sea was the best part. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and highly recommended for a beach getaway!"

★★★★ 9.3 (183 reviews)

"Beautiful hotel in a very quiet part of the island. Loved the buffet breakfast, nice selection of western and Thai foods. The room was modern, and exceptionally clean. Very restful stay! A few things that we didn’t love the rooms aren’t super sound proofed and we were woken up to the neighbors shutting doors. Location is a bit far if you don’t rent a motorbike. Overall, would stay again!"

Tubtim Resort ★★★★
"Loved our first stay here! Our room was a "Second Row" Sea View, but the view was still lovely. The room was huge, clean, and very comfortable, though the shower pressure could be stronger. The balcony is massive and great for relaxing. Since the resort gets a nice breeze all day, you can just sit and "slow life" it for hours. The food is a standout—the Grilled Ribs and Grilled Garlic Fish are must-tries. Everything tasted so fresh. We will definitely be returning!"

"I stayed here for one night and had a great experience. I was impressed with this hotel. All of the staff were friendly and provided excellent service, and the air conditioning worked very well. The only small downside was that the room did not provide a toothbrush. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay, and I will definitely come back again."

"Great location. Hotel is in the center of the island. Hotel staff are polite and very helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean. The late night entertainment can be a little distracting if you’re an early sleeper. Also, there were a bunch of dogs barking early in the morning which was annoying, other than that….The hotel was a great stay, definitely recommend. Fire show was also nice."

"The room was very clean, and the hotel staff at the front desk were extremely friendly. Five stars! The hotel is very new, and the rooms on the second floor are really nice and quite close to the pier. Most importantly, there was a cute little cat at the front desk during check-in. I really liked this hotel and will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area."
