Kanok Buri Resort

The complex is divided by a road, so some bungalows are on the beach side and other rooms are further away from the beach. We stayed in a deluxe villa (beach side) and can highly recommend it. The beach area is one of the nicer on Koh Samui: spacious, shaded by trees and little to no rubbish. However, there is no 7-Eleven, Big C, Tops or Lotus Fresh within easy walking distance. There are only a few small restaurants, some of which also have a small selection of biscuits, chips and nuts. It is good that Grab works great at this location if you want to drive somewhere. Alternatively, you can also rent a scooter. The quality of the breakfast was good, but the selection was comparatively small. Overall, we can recommend the hotel for people who like it quieter, want to relax a bit from the daily hustle and bustle and don't need so much variety.

We had a rest in February 2025. We stayed in a family villa with its own territory and a swimming pool. Two separate bedrooms with their own toilets and a common hall. Very convenient, since we had a rest with two families. Spacious rooms and an excellent bathroom - a bath, a shower and a dressing room. An excellent pool with a jacuzzi and night lighting. Sun loungers and furniture for organizing a "tea party"))) the villas are located on a separate territory, like a small village))) a lot of greenery, very impressive!!! The main building with the reception, restaurant and common pool are located on another territory, across the road, closer to the sea. This territory is just the Bomb!!! To get from the reception to the sea you need to walk along a small ladder, there is water and fish swimming around. Full of lush vegetation and birds singing. Beauty!!! But at night the frogs croak so loudly that your head is spinning. It seemed to me that it is not very good to live in a bungalow in this part. There is an electric car that will take you from the reception to the villa if you want. Breakfasts are like everywhere else, the same thing every day, but you can eat. The position on making an omelet is not clear. You have to wait even for a simple fried egg. One woman cooks, sometimes you had to stand in line. There are several cafes near the hotel, and one of them is super!!! It’s a restaurant with great service, serving dishes, choice of food, decoration and atmosphere (I don’t remember the name, if you go further along the road from the hotel, then on the right side of the road after 100 meters there will be 2 cafes. The second one!!!) Another disadvantage is the small number of sun loungers on the beach. There were often not enough, since they were taken in advance and plus people not from the hotel who passed by could take a sun lounger. With this matter, you can say that it’s a mess ((( The general disadvantage of Lipa Noi beach is that at 9 p.m. everything closes and all the people disappear))) all-round emptiness and silence!!! I was constantly walking along the beach alone at this time - it was cool and at the same time scary!!! For lovers of a quiet, relaxing holiday, this is just a super option!!! But we were a group and we had a good time. We will definitely come back and we recommend it to you!!!
