Samed Villa Resort

We had a lovely time at Samed Villa. This quaint beachfront resort was really enjoyable. The ocean was spectacular, service was attentive, and we were very comfortable. The family room was two adjoining bedrooms with two bathrooms, close to reception and the rest of our party was at a different room. I would definitely return to enjoy a beach getaway. Breakfast was ample with good options, service was very attentive. the hotel also offers kayak and standup rentals, as well as snorkeling and boat tours for a reasonable fee (500-600 per person). Its on a busy corner with two more resorts adjacent, lots of restaurants and at night fire dancers, nightclubs and bars are walking distance. All types of guests: solo travelers, families, couples, groups. It seems to meet multiple criteria and I was very pleased with our stay and selection. Even on a rainy morning we enjoyed ourselves. Adjacent to Silver Sands and Samed Pavillion with a convenience store and street vendors, it’s easy to just stay out if you want but you can also go and explore the island. highly recommend!

Located on the beach, delicious breakfast, fresh smoothies. Either you’re planning on resting, or doing an active holiday, this could be the perfect place for you. Definitely would recommend, especially for couples!

The room was very clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the restaurant has a great menu for drinks and food and good value for money too. The rooms set in a jungle-like surrounding with pathways that lit up at night made it a very calm and relaxing experience. The buffet breakfast has a large selection suitable for tourists from all over the world. The beach was nice and clean and only a 2 minute walk from the room.

This is a truly magical place that was a dream holiday for my family and me. It is predominantly Thai families here which is a huge bonus as no loud, drunken Brits! The staff and other guests are so kind and welcoming, especially to children. Everyday we would walk past the lady masseuses and they would wave and smile at us and the children (if you’re interested, Judy is the matriarch and is by far the most skilled and best masseuse of them all, but they’re all fantastic!) The food on the villa side is good but a short walk away on the next beach on has a bar that has an amazing selection of drinks and food (for kids and adults) that is exceptional. The ice cream is the best I’ve had anywhere, including Italian gelatarias. The beach is pristine with great rock pools for exploring and beautifully clear and safe water to swim in. This is a little gem that we will be returning to one day - so please don’t spoil it if you’re a scalley, uncultured Brit looking for cheap booze and a burnt bikini line.

The family room is comfortable, it has all needed utilities. The "resort" (don't mix it with the big all inclusives you know from the Caribbean) sprawls up the hill but this room in the C area in particular is very well located right behind the breakfast restaurant. Beach chairs available. Nice shaded hill with a coast footpath that goes to the next bay with a stupendous beach. Price/quality is good, but that depends on what you make of the buffet breakfast.
