Samui Boat Lagoon

Very pleasant stay. The villa was well equipped and the pool got lots of sunlight during the day to keep it at a nice temperature. There was a great sized pool at Hotel, however, it was not really utilized by guests - there was no guest facilities around the pool (except for lounges) to attract guests. (Could do with a small bar or cafe?) There is a local 7/11 and some good cheap family restaurants near by. The only negatives were that the bed was extremely hard - but that is a personal preference. Lots of Mosquitoes and we had to buy insect spray and coils to try to keep them at bay. Beach at this location is not very good, but you can walk a short distance to get a better stretch of beach. Have to catch a ride share to get anywhere - which costs around 350 to 400 bht each way - even to local upmarket restaurants only 1.2kms away. But you can always walk. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Absolutely amazing place and we definitely will stay again! The only thing is after you check out its hard to get communication if there is an issue such as our uodated travel dates. I still am waiting for communication and action on this puece. Otherwise an absolute heaven to stay at! Beach is close, local culture everywhere the people are so nice and welcoming! We walked the whole beach line one morning at like 6 am! So magical. The private villas w the pools is an absolute win. When we arrived we had transportation from airport early before hours and when we arrived before opening we were taken straight to our villa and it was made up in honeymoon style for us!

Quit and private villas getting a bit dated but for the money can’t really complain’ enjoyed our stay

Amazing place to stay. Very private. Enjoyed space and swimming pool. Great place to just relax . A bit far from activities...need transport. Beach not so great but we will stay here again

Slightly unusual setup that won’t suit everyone: bedrooms are inside and air conditioned, bathrooms are open to the elements (but private etc.) and then the living area is outside (under a fan, next to the plunge pool). Was a nice experience though, and kids were happy to take themselves inside if they needed cooling (good wifi all around). Great mum and dad Thai at the top of the driveway, solid 7/11 100m further away. A less touristy part of the island but given it’s a fairly compact east coast you’re close to everything anyway. FYI we rented a car and were pleased we fid- moped an option too.

Toothbrush & toothpaste should've been provided.

Lovely pool villa, but some cleaning issues/maintenance issues need to be addressed. A lot of mould in the bathroom, and limescale on shower glass that wasn’t cleaned even once during our stay. Swimming pool tiles have decent amount of mould and algae. I saw a pool boy cleaning and removing those on the communal pool, but seems that individual villa pool was neglected. Two bedroom villa has great setup, decent aircon. Aircon was loud, but after I mentioned to the hotel, they addresses the problem immediately. You cannot leave food in rubbish bin, as ants and incects invade quickly. Hotel was quick to respond to this as well, so 5 stars to the staff for reaction. I should have mentioned algae and mould, and I m sure that would have been sorted immediately. Strong smell of rubbish as you enter complex, not giving good impression every time you come back to resort.

Wonderfully well presented resort with private villas and pools. Very quiet and peaceful but only 10-15 minutes taxi from both Chaweng and Fishermans Village. Staff are great and communication is always timely and helpful. Will be back.

Great private villa in a location we like not to far from lots of places to eat and drink. My only gripe was bedding was polyester and pillow was super uncomfortable. I would stay again as we loved the privacy and the main pool was huge!

Amazing outdoor shower, pool was excellent. The layout and design was great and we really felt we would come back with how enjoyable and comfortable the stay was. One of the best stays we had in Thailand.

A really wonderful small resort containing private pool villas. The villas are well laid out and give great privacy. The private pools are a blessing, but the resort also has a large shared pool if you want to do longer lengths. What makes it such a good place though is the wonderful staff and management who are so helpful. Excellent, will be back (again!).

Really enjoyed our stay at the Boat Lagoon. The villa, with our own pool and outdoor kitchen area, was stunning. Situated in the North of the island was lovely and quiet yet with some good food and activities close by. The beach by the hotel wasn’t remarkable - although great for watching the sunsets, but there was a free shuttle to a good beach nearby. The staff were all really friendly and the reception staff very helpful. Thoroughly recommended and would definitely stay again.

Absolutely brilliant, staff were fantastic, will definitely go back 😊

We loved this hotel! This was the first stop on our honeymoon trip and the Samui Boat Lagoon set high expectations for the remainder of the trip. We booked a one-bedroom villa with a private pool, which was very romantic. We enjoyed using the pool at night to unwind. The property is beautiful and the staff is helpful. They were able to arrange taxis for us when we needed it, but also provided free pickup and drop off at the airport, which was a great perk. Additionally, the hotel is close to a 7 Eleven (where we stopped often to get water/snacks/beer), a Thai restaurant, a motorcycle rental shop and even a place to do laundry for $3 a kg. It is located farther away from the touristy Chaweng Beach, but we liked that about it, since that area is really congested and loud.

Rooms were fantastic! A hidden gem in Koh Samui!

What a hotel. This hotel is worth every penny. The room has everything you could ever want. Outdoor lounging and pool truly is something special. Hotel is even nice enough to order food for you from the restaurant next door to have it delivered. Prices were also extremely reasonable and the food was great. They also have a motorbike rental service they recommend directly through the hotel that will deliver a bike directly to the hotel for you. Very convenient. Overall the stay was great.

I had good family time in Samui Boat Lagoon. It was a relaxing home retreat. The only insufficient thing is that it is away from restaurants and shops.

Loved the villa although it is very out of the way. The only thing that let this place down is a rude member of staff who works on reception she would always try and earn commission off our taxi fare (which she always did, she actually fell out with another member of staff over it as he would do it for 100 baht less as we’re here for such a long time he said it’s not fair on us). But then he explained that she’s not happy about it and they’re talking about us so we can only have it cheaper when we’re not there. She obviously just didn’t like us, you could feel it when you were in her presence and she tried charging us money for washing that we never had done and just the way she TELLS you that we had it done all angry isn’t very nice. If it wasn’t for her I would have loved this place, I think they really need to get rid of her for this to be the amazing place that it is.

Lovely hotel, close to lively restaurants. Walking distance to local sites. Local amenities easily accessible.

The only "luxurious" thing about this place is the self-rating they gave themselves in their slogan. It looks absolutely nothing like the photos, which I assume were taken about 15 years ago. the furniture was old and decayed, the bed linen was grimy and stained, the shelves and towel hooks were literally falling off the walls, the bathroom sink and tap were rusty, the air conditioning had only two settings: freezing cold and hot as hell there was no in-between. The staff were completely useless. We arrived to our overbooked hotel and were given an "upgrade" which consisted of a two-bedroom instead of one with the catch that the second room was locked and we couldn't access it. Our bathroom had no hot-water and it took about a whole day and 5 of them to fix, no apologies and couldn't even move us to another room. They finally agreed to it after much complaining and to make the most out of the experience we purchased an oil burner which the cleaning staff broke and took away from the room, no warning. when we came back from a day out we noticed the oil burner was missing and we were told it was broken and they threw it away. Everything was in mint condition when we left the room, so upon return we complained to reception and they started an argument with us instead of apologising and told us we needed to wait until the next day? why? we will never know. Overall - a highly unpleasant experience that almost ruined our holiday. Completely overpriced - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
