W Koh Samui Hotel

A top-tier hotel under the Marriott Bonvoy chain Starting room type: Jungle Oasis Pool Villa Room size: 163 sqm, featuring a private pool measuring 7 meters in length and 1.3-1.4 meters in depth. The pool is relatively large compared to other hotels on the island. The bedroom boasts high ceilings and a spacious layout. The bathroom is equally impressive, with an outdoor shower area and a large bathtub in the center of the room that can accommodate two people, complete with a small TV for entertainment. The toilet includes a standard bidet spray. Some older reviews mentioned the absence of this feature in certain rooms, so it might have been added recently. The private pool in the room is a highlight for me. It feels longer than usual, making it comfortable for swimming laps. The pool depth is just right, and most importantly, it is very clean and surrounded by lush greenery. The room also includes a large daybed, perfect for lounging and relaxing. The "wow" factor upon arrival is the breathtaking view at Woo Bar, located in front of the lobby. It is especially stunning on sunny days without rain. The hotel offers special services like the "Sweet Spot," where guests can enjoy ice cream, soft drinks, and electrolyte water 24 hours a day at various points around the accommodation zones. The hotel's beach offers beautiful views, but the sand is not soft, making barefoot walking slightly uncomfortable. The private beach is located in the Maenam Beach area, where guests can enjoy both sunrise and sunset views. Beach activities include free kayaking and surfboarding. The central swimming pool is not crowded, or barely used at all, likely because most guests enjoy their private villa pools. However, the view from the central pool is still beautiful. Breakfast is of high quality, featuring Prosecco to start the day and large, sweet coconuts. The view from the breakfast area is stunning. As for service, the staff is excellent, from the moment you step out of the car to when you reach your room. I was very impressed. I came without high expectations, but the quality of this hotel exceeded them in every way.
