Hotels near Laem Din Market, Koh Samui

We enjoyed this stay from start to finish. A true 5 star resort and one we would love to visit again They upgraded us from a wow room to one of the top suites, completely free. Which was a lovely way to start our stay. They have free shuttles to the local towns. They have a gym, spa, as well as other activities, (Speciality nights) such as unlimited pizza, thai night etc, free activites for guests to par take in, which is where the only gripe was found. Partner had gone to do a pool activity that she booked to do and the person running it appeared to get all the equipment out and ready but, when the time come, the activity never started or began with no explanation to why. She would've liked some communication to why it never happened in the end. However. Regardless of this, everything was perfect. The staff were amazing. The rooms were clean and lovely. The view was breathtaking. The pool was great. I would love to come again. Thank you for such a warming and memorable stay.

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Fantastic clean massive room with everything you would need, gorgeous balcony and daily maid service. Brilliant evening entertainment and great cocktails all within walking distance of some of the nicest restaurants and bars on Koh Samui and right near Coco Tams for fire show and Fisherman’s village a vibrant night market. Oh i forgot to mention breakfast was lovely so much variety and all well cooked. The staff were all very pleasant too,

We'd like to thank this establishment for fulfilling every single one of our requests. We chose this place for our honeymoon and had a flawless and perfect experience. We know for sure that if we come back, we'll choose this place again. The only downside for us was the beach; otherwise, everything was great.

The room is spacious, beautiful, and the facilities are relatively new. From the balcony, you can enjoy jungle and sea views. Since the rooms are nestled in the jungle on a hillside, you'll need to call a golf cart shuttle (available 24 hours) to get around. There's also a walking path alongside the building that leads to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed walking through the jungle to breakfast every morning. The pool area with sea views is absolutely stunning. The overall design of the hotel is exceptional, and the lobby views are also beautiful. It's a shame we didn't get to see the sunset due to the rainy season.

What I liked: 1) The room view and its size (but we paid a significant amount extra for it, because the initial room was impossible to sleep in - more on that below) 2) Quick problem resolution by staff 3) Daily, high-quality cleaning 4) Huge, comfortable bed, good pillows 5) Quiet in the new building, comfortable for sleeping What I didn't like: 1) Initially, we had booked a deluxe room with a garden view. Upon check-in, we were extremely tired after three flights and almost immediately fell asleep. We woke up at midnight to some wild noises (which turned out to be frogs) that didn't stop, and it was impossible to sleep. The old door had a huge gap, through which the sound barely diminished, as if we were sleeping outdoors. We had to urgently request a room change. Ultimately, they promptly provided us with a replacement in the new building, which was 1.5 times larger in area and 1.5 times more expensive, so we had to pay a significant amount extra, but it was worth it. 2) The breakfasts were terrible - stale bread and overripe fruit; the chef's eggs Benedict were mediocre. In the end, we went elsewhere for breakfast. 3) The air conditioning was very loud, making it impossible to sleep with it on, so we ended up sleeping without it.

We had a wonderful stay at Dara Samui. The receptionist was super kind and showed us all the amenities, explained clearly all the rules and time check in/out time, cleaning times, pool and breakfast times. They upgraded our room the highest level, so we were right by the pool with a very private garden and lots of privacy. The room was incredible and the shower was outdoor which made it super special. I am really grateful to the staff for their kindness. The cleaner was really good as well, she even gave us some flies insecticide due to the amount of flies near the bushes which can’t be helped in this heat. The breakfast has good variety from fruit, salads, yogurts, cereals, an egg station for eggs freshly made in any possible way (even crepes and omelettes). Also curry, rice, various meats, sushi and potatoes. Really good selection. The pool is nice and clean but most of all, very picturesque with beautiful flowers all around. It made the experience magical. Definitely would stay there again. 10/10 🙏

The hotel is very old. There's almost no grounds. It consists of a main building and bungalows with a bit of greenery. The pool smelled strongly of chlorine, so we didn't go in. It's too small for swimming anyway. Room: Partially renovated with a huge, modern TV. However, the bathroom is long overdue for a renovation – the shower is rusty, the faucets are terrible, and the shower curtain has turned yellow at the bottom from rust! The balcony is nice, but the neighbors are so close it feels uncomfortable. The breakfast was good, with plenty of options. The sea, though, is wonderful! The entry is very quick, the water is clear, and the jet skis aren't directly in front of the hotel. Cafes and shops are right outside the exit. Lotus Supermarket is about 700 meters away; they have a good and inexpensive food court, and the prices in the supermarket are the cheapest.

Beautiful looking hotel, quiet and relaxed but also just a short scooter ride away from Fisherman’s village. For everyone confused about the beach situation: there is a long bit of beach by the hotel. The hotel itseld doesn’t have beds on the beach itself, however, the beds are just above and around the pool area that overlooks the beach. If you wanna lay on the beach, in the morning there is high tide so you won’t be having much sand to lay on, still good for a swim. In the afternoon/evening there is low tide so you can put your towel down easily.

We stayed at the hotel for 10 nights in January. It's located in the northern part of Chaweng Beach, away from the noisy nightlife. The location is convenient, but the sea itself in this part of the beach isn't great: lots of seaweed and rocks. The hotel staff were friendly and moved us to a more convenient room upon our request (the original one was on the ground floor, right by a walkway). The rooms themselves are spacious, everything is as described. For breakfast, the variety isn't huge, and some of the local dishes are quite spicy. I'd rate the breakfast 3 out of 5. Everything else was excellent.

It is a very good place to relax, quiet, peaceful, really relaxing. The accommodation is beautiful, the sunlight, the lights, the air conditioning is cool, everything is good. If I go to Samui again, I will definitely come back to stay again.
