Silavadee Pool Spa Resort

The property boasts luxurious amenities, attentive service, and beautiful cliffside location with ocean views. However, it's slightly remote and requires transportation to livelier areas.

My wife and I chanced upon Silavadee while looking for a short Koh Samui getaway to celebrate our anniversary - and so glad we found Silavadee. The Google reviews did not disappoint, as it’s possibly one of the best resorts we’ve stay in yet! We travel to a couple of resorts around the SEA during our weekend getaways but this past weekend topped the charts for us. From our arrival all the way to our departure, Silavadee’s team members never failed to display the widest smiles everyday; even if sometimes they did not understand much English - we appreciated their big wide smiles! Special mention to the Duty Manager, TICK as well as front office staff ICE and KORN, who both made sure we were extremely were taken care of throughout our stay and whenever we had any queries. We had a small hiccup with the housekeeping team during our stay, but TICK managed it extremely well and also so kindly got us a late check out as our flight is only departing at 19:25hrs today, back to Singapore. Your private beach team member, JB is also worth a special mention - his command of English is commendable, and we enjoyed our time interacting with him during our stay. A very positive guy whom we noticed was also picking up trash on his own initiative to ensure our private beach was as immaculate as it could be! All in all an amazing stay over the past 4 days at Silavadee! Please pass our kind thanks to the team at Silavadee and we’ll definitely be back soon! Room 209

We booked this five-star hotel as a special because my wife was celebrating her birthday during the stay. Unfortunately, we can't give Silavadee a five-star review. On the positive side, the staff were all fantastic. Always smiling and friendly and happy to help. Also, the breakfast was excellent. From 4.3 0pm to 5.30pm, the hotel offers a small selection of free drinks. This may sound good, but we were only in the hotel at that time twice during our stay. Now for the negatives. Upon arrival we were told one of the two restaurants was being rebuilt so there was only one available restaurant. And the swimming pool next to the construction site wasn't staffed and was too noisy to use. There was a second swimming pool. For this inconvenience we were given a credit of 500 baht per day which had to be used in the hotel on food and drink, etc., and 20% off menu items. This wasn't a good start. We booked an ocean view room and so we expected an ocean view. While technically we did have an ocean view, the majority of our view was trees and rooftops. And when sitting on the bed, there was no ocean view, just a view of trees - see photos. This is not acceptable for a room advertised as having an ocean view. If you book an ocean view, make sure you do not get room 210. The resort was built 17 years ago and needs some maintenance. For example, in our room the floor was badly scratched in places and the caulking in the bathroom was discoloured at best and filthy at worst - see photos. Also, when the ceiling was painted, the painter couldn't be bothered to cut in around the smoke detector but just rollered straight lines around it - see photo. While this isn't a major issue, I would expect a five-star hotel to show better attention to detail. The restaurant food was fine, but here were no daily specials offered, (something that many restaurants offer) which made the menu boring and predictable after a few days. But I think the menu prices were too high. The drinks prices were also very high. Maybe management think that people who can afford a five-star hotel can also afford to pay more than a reasonable price for food and drinks. Every time I used the swimming pool, there were leaves and debris from trees floating on the surface. I expect better at a five-star hotel. Doesn't management employ someone to clean the surface? Do not ask reception to order a taxi for you. Contact a company direct if you can. For a taxi to or from the airport the hotel charges 750 baht. If you order it yourself it's more like 500 baht - 33% less. I think this is an unacceptable price increase for making a ohone call - a call that should be free as part of the service. If hotel management have any self respect and care about their customers, I expect them to offer me a partial refund to compensate for the partial sea view and flawed room.
