Tubtim Resort

This was our second time staying at Tubtim and it was just as beautiful as the first time. It’s like a little bit of heaven, very natural and relaxed feeling. Just what I needed.

This is a cute old style resort on a lovely beach. The restaurant food & staff is fantastic. The Rooms are very run down and if you’re unlucky enough to need a twin room you get a cabin split in 2 with what feels like a piece of paper for the connecting door. Threadbare towels and very basic ammenities. Reception staff incredibly rude to every single person regardless of what they need. Really horrible especially the bigman. Very over priced for what you get.

Nice staff and excellent location.

Very large room with great balcony overlooking the sea.

The beach was great for swimming. Staff all wonderful and friendly. We were there 5 days and they ran out of lounge chairs 1day but it is high season. We booked 6 mon in advance but didn’t get 2 huts side by side which is my only complaint. Breakfast included was nice and good

Room not good

Staff was very nice, excellent food offer, beautifull and calm place

The places does not get the reviews it should. We almost cancel and so glad we didn't. Great beach, great location, great staff. The grounds are well looked after and staff always on hand, cleaning and seeing to the gardens. The accommodation was simple but enough. I'd stay again

The standout attraction of this resort is the stunning beach where it is located. Quieter and more exclusive feeling than neighbouring beaches, this one is a real gem. Just three resorts, with Tubtim at the far end. I was in a balcony garden view room which was spacious and really comfortable. Nice and light and bright. As others have said, it is up a lot of steps, and the path up there is not lit, take a torch! The shower pressure is non-existent, so don’t expect much. The customer service is very patchy, from the downright rude and unhelpful, to the lovely and can’t do enough to assist. There is a rather odd system where you have to drop your key at reception if you want your room serviced. And then all keys are left out once cleaning has been done, so there is no key security. They don’t overcrowd the beach with loungers, but as a result there aren’t enough. Unless you get down there at 7 am to stake your claim with a towel, you risk not being able to get one. I wasn’t given a coherent reason why they don’t have more loungers. Getting deck chairs is easier, just ask at the bar and they will set you up a couple with an umbrella. Grab a small seat cushion from the barbecue area. The loungers are hard as stone, and for some inexplicable reason don’t have full length cushions, so you could have a very uncomfortable day on one. I favoured the deck chairs. The breakfast is distinctly average. All in all I would definitely stay here again largely because of the location.

Uncomfortable Bed, squeaking bed frame, house siding making noise from AC compressor next to bed. very poor overall. Breakfast limited selection. Dining very bad taste.

Good

Loved the beach and walking distance to many restaurants bars cafes and other beautiful beaches

We loved

Nice and quiet and beautiful views

We loved our stay at Tubtim, so much that we stayed an extra 2 nights. We had previously stayed at Wong Duen beach and also explored other bays on the island by scooter/walking, but this was by far our favourite. We had a garden view fan room, which was lovely and suited our needs. We saw amazing birds around the grounds including hornbills and drongos. The prices for food and drink, including in the shop, were a bit higher than other areas, but when you factor in that everything has to be brought by boat the additional cost is to be expected. The included breakfast was delicious and well above what we expected, with lots of choice and great quality. The onsite bar and restaurant were also lovely. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Yes

Staff are exceptional!

Beautiful views of the beach

This place is amazing! When it comes to Koh Samed, the location of your accommodations can make or break your visit... Tubtim has by far the best proximity to the beautiful beach as any resort on the island! The cabins feel bigger than the photos portray.. The breakfast spread is great... The staff is kind and attentive... For the price, this is THE value steal of the island. Ill be back!!!!

We adore Tubtim for it's amazing location, friendly staff and simple beach life convenience
