Must-visit hotels in Koh Samui, with sea views right outside the door
If this is your first time traveling to Koh Samui, then this article is all you need. Koh Samui is not large, and the main purpose is to stay in hotels, enjoying their facilities and services.
I recommend a highly cost-effective hotel, the Escape Resort & Spa in Koh Samui. This is an adults-only hotel, offering a quieter environment, making it perfect for a vacation.
They also have a hotel on the opposite island of Phangan, which is great for watching sunsets and is not far from the Full Moon Party location.
【Location】
The hotel is located on Mae Nam Beach in Koh Samui, about 10 kilometers from Koh Samui Airport, a 20-minute drive, which is quite convenient. You can't use Grab at the airport, so you have to take a taxi, which costs 500 THB to the hotel.
【Staying at the Hotel】
We transferred from Bangkok to Koh Samui, with a delay of more than half an hour. We had previously booked an airport pickup service, and the hotel staff were waiting at the exit with a sign, which was very considerate.
Upon arrival at the hotel, the staff warmly greeted us, offering cold towels, coconut water, and rum that can be added to the coconut water. It was a unique taste and the first time we had such coconut water at a hotel.
After quickly checking in, we went straight to our room to rest. This time, we stayed in a beach pool villa, which was very spacious, with an area of over 80 square meters.
There was a pool right in front of the room, very private, making it ideal for couples on vacation. In front of the pool, there was a private beach, where you could swim while enjoying the unbeatable sea view, which was truly enjoyable.
The public area of the hotel has a 50-meter infinity pool right next to the restaurant. Swimming here in the evening, enjoying a leisurely vacation time without the noise of children, is the true essence of a vacation. Perhaps this is the reason why the hotel is adults-only.
By the way, they also have a dedicated office area. In the adult world, work needs are inevitable, and this is where you can work without being disturbed, enjoying uninterrupted work time.
The villa area is like a garden, filled with various flowers in full bloom, making you feel like you are in a sea of flowers, which greatly improves your mood.
【Dining at the Hotel】
Having breakfast at the sea view restaurant is also a pleasure. The breakfast is very rich, with various Thai specialties and unlimited coconut water supply, which is fantastic.
