Koh Samui Hotel

very stylish rooms, close to beach & everythign you need at the resort..                The 5 star hotel seems very appealing on the internet but the reality is quite different. The hotel is enormous and they still build it to make it even bigger. Our villa was away from the beach. The good news is that hotel provides a little car to pick people up from their villas because the road is very narrow and steap. Breakfast was quite great. We once had lunch at the restaurant and decided not to do it again. The food was good but quite expensive. Everything was very slow and the restaurant staff seemed not to be very happy. When we asked for the bill it was quite more than what we ate and they corrected it afterwards, good tat we took a look. There are no enough places on the beach for all the hotel guests. If you like to sit around the pool, you may like it because it has 2 swimming pools. But if you like to be on the beach it is not great. The view from the room was nice although we hardly stayed there. The staff at the reception was polite. There was that guy, probably the manager, looking up after everything to be OK and he assisted us quite few times to get what we wanted because he spoke english. The little Chaweng "city" is 10 - 15 minutes away from the hotel which is quite isolated. The good thing is that the hotel provides couple of free shuttles to and from there for it's guests.
