Hotels in Nathon, Koh Samui

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nikki Beach Resort with a group of friends, and we had an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and comfortable. The resort itself is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms and breathtaking views of the sea. The amenities are top-notch – the pool area is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tropical ambiance, and the on-site dining options are superb, offering a delicious variety of local and international cuisine. The beach club is a highlight, with its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service. What truly sets Nikki Beach Resort Samui apart is the attention to detail and the commitment to guest satisfaction. Every interaction with the staff was positive and friendly, making my stay even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a fun vacation with friends, this resort is the perfect destination. I can't wait to return! 🙌🏼

A beautiful place with luxurious territory, plumery, palm trees, other blooming trees, everything smells! There are lots of proteins and birds on the territory! A beautiful pool with a view of the embankment. There is a European coffee shop on the territory, pay is possible by card. There are many cafes nearby, prices are already much cheaper than in other places of the island. The hotel is next to Nathan Pier, just a 5-minute walk. Here from the whole island people come to meet the sunset! There is in step availability 7/11 small. There is an evening market. Near 7/11 there is even a bank. Near the beach but here you don't swim very small, people literally walk on water) The room is simple but there are all facilities, the Internet, comfortable beds, table and table. There are many cosy tables with shops on the territory) You can also buy and resepshen to heat food, take a boiler, coffee, tea and dishes. Friendly staff. Cleaning on request every day. Water, toilet paper, soap. It lasted two more days! )

The individual circular bungalows are very spacious and artistically designed. You feel like you’re in a jungle hut. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the staff are extremely polite. It’s very tranquil here. On the flip side, breakfast is quite limited and nothing is made fresh. So if you want eggs as part of your breakfast, it’s a lottery as to whether they were cooked 2 minutes or 20 minutes ago. The daytime menu is generous enough, however if you decide on a burger and fries for lunch; you’ll receive a big juicy burger with 6 or 7 fries. When I ordered a pork chop and fries, it came with 8 fries. Due to the language barrier, it’s frustrating to try and complain. Why “average” then, food aside? Well, the pool and beach pictures portrayed on “booking.com” are, in my opinion, grossly misleading. The pool is there but it’s surrounded by 8 sun beds, half of which are very grubby, very old plastic ones. They look second hand. There are no sun umbrellas. The pool bar doesn’t exist. There is no real beach, just a metre wide stretch of stony sand that disappears when the tide comes in. Visitors should also note that the resort is quite isolated and you’ll need a rental car or taxis to get to a shop or another beach. I would not recommend the Mud to anyone who has even the slightest mobility issues due to the steep wooden steps you need to access between the restaurant/reception area and your accommodation.

This place is lovely. Very quiet, very calm, is literally right on the beach where you can watch the sunset every day. You can walk up the beach to a few bars and restaurants. The pool is clean. The lady that seems to run this place on her own is just lovely and very friendly. HOWEVER..... It's quite run down and very no frills. When we were there, they didn't have their own food or bar. If you wanted food, you needed to order in advance and all they did was get a takeaway from a local place and add a fee on top. If you wanted drinks you had to go to the shop. Breakfast again is at an extra cost, has to be ordered the day before and is just a takeaway from the place 5 minutes down the road. The BBQ they say they have for you to use, is a tiny mini thing that you have to buy everything for. The bicycles they say they have for you to use for free are mainly broken, tyres punctured, side stand stuck down, chain slips etc. They do have kayaks though, that are free, and they were good fun in the calm, warm Thai waters. One 500ml bottle of water was replaced once every 2 days in the room. The TV didn't work. The sockets sparked. There is basically nothing nearby. You HAVE to have a moped or car to go and do anything. But again, it was a lovely quiet, peaceful, picturesque and welcoming stay in a very basic place. There were shy lizards everywhere. There is an unlimited supply of towels for the beach or pool. The staff are so incredibly lovely,

The accommodation “The Humble Villas” is really a dream. If we could give more than 10 stars we would because we absolutely loved everything about it. The small villas, which all have a view of the sea, are highly recommended for both shorter and longer stays (in our case 2 weeks). Especially on very warm days it was great to cool off in your own pool/diving pool or to swim in the larger hotel pool in the evening at sunset. In addition to the great facilities of our villa, where nothing was missing (cool drinks and snacks every day, flip-flops, beach bag and even mosquito spray included), we liked the quiet location of the complex, away from the hustle and bustle, but still with everything important (e.g example also restaurants) within walking distance. Also worth mentioning is the delicious breakfast, which is lovingly prepared and served every morning with a view of the sea. There is definitely something for everyone here and we looked forward to it every morning during our longer stay. But what we liked best was the generally incredibly hard-working, attentive and lovely staff of the hotel. You rarely experience so much hospitality and we felt completely at home due to the family atmosphere. Even certain details (birthday during the stay) and wishes (e.g. mosquito net over the bed) were thought of. So a big thank you to the great team! You made this stay so special and relaxing. We will definitely be happy to come back.

We arrived early in the hotel and were able to get our room already. It was nicely decorated for our honymoon. The employee are very kind and helpfull, should you have any questions. The room and the hotel itself are a bit outdated, but everything was proper and clean! Our shower head was broken and we didn’t have warm water. We reported this and it was fixed immediately, everything was working fine afterwards! The beds are less hard if you compare it with other places, but still not soft. No topper available, but they prepare something with blankets, which helped a bit. A little gym area is present to do some work out. Breakfast is simple,but fine. (eggs, sausage, toast,milk, cornflakes, coffee/tea/juice/water, jam, fresh fruit). Location wise: it depends on what you want. Some little restaurants and shops are in the neighborhood. We wanted some quit area. If you want more like a small village, you need to travel a bit. Around the pool and on the beach different sun beds are available. Partly with a matras, which are good. Other beds are a bit less comfortable and in need of replacement. There might be a shortage of sun beds, if more guests decide to go to pool/beach.

The hotel is still under construction (the ground floor is ready for occupancy). Cons: since the hotel has only partially opened, to check in you need to call and inform about the reservation, after which the man on duty there will give you the keys. The neighbors have roosters that crow very loudly early in the morning. Noise insulation is poor (perhaps this is a temporary disadvantage), despite the fact that our room was by the sea, the road noise on the opposite side of the hotel was very strong. And the last minuses are a clogged drain in the bathroom and a lack of towels (I hope these problems will be resolved in the future with the expected hotel). On the plus side: the hotel is located right by the sea, you can enjoy a gorgeous view on the balcony. Spacious room, very bright, glass doors to the floor on the balcony, clean bed linen and overall the room is very good.

We stayed at Lipa Bay Resort for 8 nights. Our room was on the third floor (which is accessible by stairs only) with a nice view of the ocean. We liked our room - it was big, comfortable, nice bathroom and deck. We found it quiet at night time and the air con worked great. The only thing we didn’t like was that we found the bed a bit too hard. The location was great. It is located right in the middle of Lipa Bay and the beach is beautiful. There is a lovely pool at this hotel, but only 7 lounge chairs. If you didn’t get a lounge chair by breakfast time they’d be pretty much unavailable for the rest of the day. To the south along the beach and road are some good restaurants. We particularly liked Kaew Thai and Mom’s Kitchen. Good food! The hotel has a restaurant where we had breakfast every morning and had lunch there on one occasion. The breakfast menu is somewhat limited - choice of hot drink, choice of cold drink and one entree - eggs, cereal, pancake or Thai dishes, and white toast. The hotel had scooters and bicycles available to rent. We rented scooters and enjoyed exploring the island. Our favourite spot was Taling Ngam Beach and the Island View Restaurant which is right on that beach. Great food! Idyllic beach perfect for swimming! It was about a 20 minute scooter ride from our hotel. Overall, this was a very nice, clean and comfortable hotel with friendly staff who were very helpful. We would stay there again.

The hotel is located on the beach of Li Pa Noi. The hotel is adjacent to the beach line, on the beach its own lying rooms from the hotel. There are showers, gamas, water entertainment (kayaki,sap). The hotel's separate villas are separated by a green natural fence, which helps to enjoy a good rest and privacy. The villas are comfortable. The pool is clean, deep, there is a children's area. It is convenient to have a relaxing area with sea view. There is a bar, a restaurant. Food is delicious, prices are normal. Service is warning, staff is polite, everything is done clearly. The sea is small, there are waterfalls.

I read many reviews about this resort and studied the Mantra Samui website, but never learned until after I booked (4 nights stay) my room that they had cancelled , during Covid, the regular shuttle that took guests down the hill to Fisherman Villa. I learned this because I called the hotel before my trip to ask some questions and also ask how to reserve a place on their shuttle. The resort does have one auto/driver that will drive you down to the bottom of the hill if it is there, and if it is not picking up someone at the airport. The shuttle delivers you directly to the bottom of the hill, is pretty much is just a local road. Then you can wave down a taxi and negotiate the price. Some fun! The Mantra Sumai should update their website to say the regular shuttle has been cancelled, and replaced by their maybe available one car. Continuing my story... We booked a massage at another hotel that is about 20 minutes away, and gave ourselves one hour to get there. So the night before we reserved to get the ride down to the bottom of the hill for the next day afternoon. When we went to reception, we were informed there was an accident, which was a flat tire, and the tire 'might' be fixed in half an hour and then another 20 minutes to get back to the Mantra. They apparently felt no responsibility to contact us. Just wait for the guests to show up and then tell them. They felt no responsibility to call the driver for any update. They then offered to call a taxi, but that would take about 20 minutes to arrive. Also when you call a taxi there is no opportunity for negotiation. My hour was dwindling. Well 20 is better than maybe 30 + 20 minutes. So they called the taxi. Luckily the Mantra driver showed up after 15 minutes, and the taxi was cancelled. My conclusion, after all the interfaces with reception, is they have a poor sense of responsibility and lacking the ability for logical thinking to provide a good guest experience. There are other examples beyond the above. Our suite room was in good condition, and everything functioning. Well, except the phone did not work, but I did not need that. The suite has a king size bed and a separate built in bed in the back of the living room. OK, so 4 people can stay. But the flaw in the suites is there is only a 2 person love seat to sit on. There is no chair, and no desk. It is no fun to use your laptop when the coffee table level is below your knees. A simple 4 leg table for a desk, and a simple chair would be nice, and not cost very much. They do have an on-site co-work room somewhere, but I did not use it. I think it is an extra cost and I did not have that much work to do anyway. The highlight of the Mantra Samui was the included breakfast. There are many cooked to order choices plus a buffet of juices, fruits, cereals, yogurt, pastries, and several breads you can toast yourself. We tried every item on the breakfast menu and all were nicely done and tasty. Very good coffee and tea made to order i
