Hotels in Ao Cho, Koh Samet

Newly renovated rooms; comfortable & cleaned. Beautiful private peaceful beach. All the hotel staff that we had contacted did excellent jobs. Enjoyed live music & a fire show in the evening. We gave 200 THB to the fire show men. Frankly speaking, their fire show skills are much better than Hawaii. (Except, no hip dance) It would be nice if the other hotel guests would have given them some tips, too. Everything was good, except the music at the restaurant by the beach was a bit too loud. I will return to stay at this hotel again if I go to Samed next time.

First about the location: the beach is excellent. White fine sand, gentle entry into the water, no jet skis, boats, etc., the beach is cleaned. On the beach there is only this hotel and several restaurants and bars. One of the bars is run by an Italian who enjoys chatting with visitors, I recommend stopping by. You can easily go to the neighboring, larger beach, which seemed worse in quality: stronger waves, more coral debris. The location is a definite plus. The hotel restaurant also deserves a very high rating. Really tasty, excellent presentation of dishes, reasonable prices. The only negative is the staff who do not speak (except Thai, and even then, I'm not sure they understood Thai). At the slightest thing - they call the bartender for help and because of this there are difficulties with communication when ordering. About the room: the curtains do not completely close, you can see in the photo. Completely broken plumbing in the shower (guys, what are you doing, are you serious?), clogged sink by the time we checked in. Thresholds in the house that you trip over at night. No insect repellent (!) - buy your own or spray it on the bar counter (are you serious, in the jungle not to have cheap mosquito repellent in your room?). My seaview villa was the last one and I do not recommend it - there is a garbage dump behind it and next to it a Thai house where chickens and roosters live, starting to scream at 4 am right next to you. It is better to take not the last house, but the previous one. The glass on the veranda and in the house itself, it seems, has never been washed or has stopped doing it a long time ago. You sit and look at the sea, and the level of the dirty glass fence is higher than the chair. This is a definite minus, they do not clean at all, although they gladly took the tips. Also, on the territory of the hotel there is a smell of either sewage or stagnant water. The wireless Wi-Fi network is slow. I do not want the review to sound like a devastating one. Despite all the shortcomings, I liked it here, I just expected a higher level of service from a pretty good resort. I hope the guys will improve the quality.

We returned here a year later because this particular beach is very ”sunk into the soul”. And what is worth noting: The modernization of the room stock was carried out, the house with a sea view turned out to be excellent in terms of amenities and with stunning sea views! New clean renovation, soft bed. They added a beach bag, a branded hat, and a bar in the refrigerator, like in five-star hotels. Well done! Commendable! The hotel's restaurant has delicious food. We were satisfied on all counts and are already planning a new visit 😉🎣 We returned here a year later because this particular beach is very ”sunk into the soul”.

Great location on Vongduan beach. Very spacious , clean bungalows; nice staff; amenitiesare basic but in line with other similar hotels in koh Samet. A reading light would be nice. They explain at check in that room cleaning has to be requested by hanging the sign, you might have to draw the cleaners attention then they will clean the room. Breakfast is ok, mostly Thai options ; a couple of sweets and more choice of fruit would be nice. The only real minus is the rock hard bed, same as sleeping on the floor. They should not allow boats to land at the beach among swimmers, there is a jetty few meters away... better arrange a porter service for those who don't want to carry their bags.

If little things don't spoil your mood, pass by)) I'm writing this review for people like me. The air conditioner blows on the bed In the morning you wake up from the sound of someone sweeping under the window, it's very audible. And since this is a house, you can't open the curtain because the sweeper will see you. The smell of rotten water and it doesn't drain well after a shower. If you're alone, it's okay, but if there are two of you, I think it's unpleasant. My bike was constantly being moved, pushed close to the house. No one explained or asked me to place it in a specific way. But every day it stood differently. They don't speak English WiFi doesn't work properly, we connected it to different networks twice, it was useless. There are sewer butterflies in the bathroom. Yes, yes, I didn't know what that was. Otherwise, everything is fine, the owners are a family. They don't care about you at all, they sent me to the most expensive service on the island to get my bike. cleaning on request. Bed linen is clean. There is a refrigerator in the room

The hotel is located a bit far from the business service area, but the beach area near the hotel feels a bit serene because there are not many people staying and it is away from the business area. The facilities in the hotel are average. There is only one stool in the room. You can only sit on the bed when you turn the room. There is no space between the washroom and the shower room. There is only a towel rack inside and no place to hang a change of clothes.

Been to Samed Cabana on numerous occasions and really can't beat the Beachfront cabanas. However it's really disappointing and irritating to meet an unfriendly staff at the lobby. Poor service skills and definitely not the Thai way to greet guests. Hotel needs to seriously consider changing the front office manager. All the other staff are great except for one dinner where I had given them food to warm (food for my kids) and they served it to another guests! And I can speak Thai! Absolutely ridiculous. Shall return provided front office goes through a hospitality course.

There is no requirement for living alone, anyway, you can stay at the beach for a long time. If you are a couple, you can choose a more resort hotel

Tom Pizza Samet Hotel is a cozy place to stay that combines comfort, hospitality and a unique atmosphere. The location of the hotel is simply perfect: in a quiet and picturesque corner of Samet Island, but at the same time within walking distance of the beaches and main attractions. **Bungalow*   The rooms are clean, spacious and stylishly decorated. Each room has everything you need for a comfortable stay: a comfortable bed, air conditioning, a mini-fridge. It is especially nice that the rooms are always clean, and the staff carefully monitors the order. **Food:**   As the name of the hotel suggests, they serve amazing pizza! This is a real highlight of the place. The restaurant offers a variety of Italian dishes, but pizza is a must-try. All the ingredients are fresh, the dough is thin and crispy, and the portions are generous. Breakfasts are also top-notch: varied, tasty and filling. **Service:**   The hotel staff deserves special thanks. All the staff are friendly, attentive and always ready to help. It feels like they really care about the guests and strive to make their stay as comfortable as possible. **Territory:**   The hotel is surrounded by greenery, which creates a feeling of privacy and tranquility. **Result:**   Tom Pizza Samet Hotel is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday in a cozy atmosphere with delicious food. I recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Samet and want to get an unforgettable experience!

Was a reasonable stay for one night and the breakfast decent range of choice. Room was clean but the only thing which made me concerned was when it came to booking the grand deluxe room It stated sea view room you can only see a little bit just a heads up for anybody staying here. Would stay here again in the future.
