Dara Samui Beach Resort

The hotel was beautiful! The room was spacious. The staff was amazing! The beach wasn’t what I was hoping for. It was calm but I like waves and clear water on sandy beach which was accessible in 5 minutes. It was great for the price!

Kan varmt anbefale dette hotel. Dejlige værelser og rigtig god morgen mad. Personalet er meget hjælpsomme ved morgenmad og strand baren. Negativt : Ingen vand i stranden, kan de ikke rigtig gøre noget ved. Larm fra de lokale barer.

Beautiful traditionally designed Thai resort. Our room was clean and spacious and the bathroom even included a bath. We were on level 2 and didn't hear any night noise, however my sister was one floor above and said they could hear music most of the night so I recommend requesting a lower level room. The staff here go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need and more. Massive shout out to Jackson, Jeep and Kevin who worked so hard to make sure we were well looked after and enjoying our stay. Reception staff would benefit from some training in what to recommend when a guest asks what places and things are good to do on the island. We had dinner on the beach here on our last day and the food was great and it was a lovely set up where we could put our feed in the sand. The beach out front of the resort wasn't the best for swimming while we were there but that could have been the time of year? It's a nice safe lagoon and if it was a little deeper it would have been perfect. The resort pool is perfect though and they even let you drink and eat from the pool. Breakfast had all the options you could want, from fruit, to Thai food to an egg station. Highly recommend staying here, we had a great, comfortable and fun stay!

The staff were very helpful and always smiling. The atmosphere for dinner on the beach was fantastic. The water was too shallow for swimming, but you could wade and play in the water. The hotel was located in a relatively quiet part of the beach, perfect for relaxation. The appliances and TV were all new. Unfortunately, the towels in the room were a bit old.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff which is ideally located on Chaweng Beach

Air conditioning in the guest rooms is great, but this is the only place in the resort that has AC. Room could be cleaner, there was dust all over the room at check-in and tiny ants everywhere. We stayed for 9 nights and on 2 days consecutively the bath was not cleaned even though it was visibly dirty (from sand and use). I also expected from a 4 star hotel to have the plumbing sorted to enable toilet paper to be flushed like most visitors would be accustomed to. I understand this is an issue across Samui but other third world countries have this worked out. Breakfast was satisfactory. Hot food is kept hot and cold food (salad, fruit etc) is kept in an airconditioned room however, other food such as pastries and cakes are sitting at room temperature and exposed to flies. The egg station (cooked to order) was great however, again some foods such as chicken skewers and waffles were exposed to the elements. Found that pool bar staff were not overly attentive. They were ok if you went up to the bar to order a meal or drink - they would deliver to where you are sitting however, they did not approach guests on sunloungers to take any orders and barely cleared empty bottles, glasses until you had vacated. Probably wouldn't recommend staying here for anyone who has an issue with using a lot of stairs.

Where do I start? From check-in to check-out this resort did not disappoint! Front desk staff and pool bar staff deserve a raise!!!! My wife and I were upgraded rooms for our 4 night stay…. and WOW! everything was perfect. Clean, spacious and luxurious. Staff were astonishing - Very accommodating whether it was booking a tour/motor bike to service at meals or pool sides drinks! This resort is central with lots of options on Chaweng Beach for night life. Beach is clean, swallow and swim-able . After walking the beach I would not book anything North of this resort if you like swimming in the Ocean ! There were lots of pool/ beach chairs - No need to reserve. We will definitely be back, loved our vacation!!!

The hotel really needs an elevator or two. Also, the top floor walkway is cutoff halfway to the farthest rooms - the gap should be eliminated.

Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The rooms were good, perhaps a little refresh is needed, but generally they were in very good condition.

Everything was great, the staff were so friendly and helpful the breakfast was good and wide selection was available.

good

Air conditioning effective, staff helpful and very friendly. Enjoyed it so much I extended my stay!

Nice central location to Chaweng beach & restaurants, shops, night market & spas. The professional staff was very welcoming & accommodating, especially when one person in our group fell ill. They delivered breakfast to her every morning. And speaking of breakfast, their morning buffet was the highlight, offering traditional Western & Asian fare that was so delicious !!

The hotel is located in the middle of Chaweng beach-a perfect spot on the beach. Food: Excellent Customer Service: Excellent Hotel: it’s very charming. The shower is huge. Quit reading this review and book it!!

un friendly

My wife and I were extremely happy with this very pretty hotel. It’s small, but laid out in a very economical way. The Thai motif was fantastic. Love the beach and the food was great. Nothing I had read in negative reviews about this property was true. Said it was noisy, we did not find it so. The beach was great for relaxing and was beautiful. The staff were also fantastic. Friendly and helpful. We will stay here again in Koh Samui for sure.

How friendly, happy and helpful all the staff were! Beautiful hotel with a lovely pool and beach area. The breakfast had a good selection- we had a romantic meal on the beach one evening which was excellent! I couldn’t fault this hotel

Location

Everything was above par. The staff was friendly and attentive to our needs.

The staff were wonderful resulting in great service in every aspect. The beach was pretty much non existent at high tide which obviously the hotel has not control over. The bathrooms were a little tired and the pool was not as large as the pictures suggested. With that said we enjoyed our stay very much.
