Deva Beach Resort

I’ve been traveling for 12+ years and have never experienced anything like this. From the moment we arrived at Deva Beach Resort, the receptionist was cold and unhelpful. We asked for a paid upgrade—she refused, claiming nothing was available, even though I saw rooms online. Only the next day, she said. The room was disgusting: dried stains on the walls, black pillows, and a filthy bathroom. Our luggage was delayed, so we had nothing with us. We asked for toothbrushes and bathrobes—she said the resort doesn’t offer them. I asked for the manager—she claimed there isn’t one, only a CEO, and refused to give any contact. She wouldn't even share her name. She didn’t explain anything—no info about breakfast or facilities. When I asked where breakfast was, she just said, “Walk ahead and you’ll find it.” After 3 hours of arguing, a “new room” magically appeared—for 100€ more. This one had everything we asked for earlier, proving she lied. The next day, she laughed in our faces as we passed reception. This kind of behavior is unacceptable in any hotel, let alone a resort. Avoid Deva Beach Resort at all costs. It completely ruined the start of our vacation.

As other reviewers have noted about the sunset, it is a great location for that. The facility has everything you expect from a budget resort but it’s clearly past its prime. The sun loungers are all stained and grubby. The pool bar is used to store an empty fridge. The staff are all polite but this is normal for all of Thailand. The rooms are adequate but in my case the shower rail holding the soap and shampoo slipped out of the wall with both plastic bottles smashing on the tiles. On checkout they had the cheek to try and charge me for this. Of course I didn’t pay but it shows the level of care they have for this aging property that they try and blame guests for its failing state. It’s a shame as it has so much potential if some money were put into it by a new owner.

Wonderful stay highly recommended and the staff were lovely

The resort is nothing like on the pictures. From the picture it looks like this high end “instagram-esque” luxury resort but in reality it’s blocks of run down buildings surrounded by not that well kept vegetation. We had a direct pool access room but the pool looks of feel nothing like the pictures. They have removed all the wooden flooring exposing dirty concrete, and the area was very enclosed, making it feel like some dark dank concrete alley with a pool rather than an open resort with a nice pool. Also the hotel was impossible to get in touch with. Luckily we only stayed 2 days but had we booked our entire vacation here I think we would have started to cry.. it was not die hard awful, but it was just not good, like at all. It’s a 2 star hotel in reality.

Property was clean, modern and comfortable. Amazing for our short stop in Koh Samui

Séjour exceptionnel !! Je recommande cette hôtel ! Il est propre et magnifique !

Voyage incroyable !!! Je recommande fortement cette hôtel ! Il est parfait !! Les chambres sont propre et belle ! Le personnel impeccable rien à dire

We stayed at a room that had direct access to the pool, and it was on the left side from the reception. It was really quiet and relaxing compared to the pool facing the beach. The hotel is perfect if you’re looking for a get-away and just chill out. The food at the hotel is nothing to write home about but there are some restaurants nearby that have great food. The beach is not suited for swimming. The rooms are large and have a good vibe. Ps, the neighbors of the hotel has chickens and they make quite some noise tho. So bring some earplugs for better quality of sleep.

Such a beautiful hotel. The pictures on here does not justify how nice the place is. Room was MASSIVE. had a room with pool access, pool was nice a quiet and kept very clean. Beach is beautiful

Lovely experience with tons of walkability. Major selling point is the 15 min walk to the beach.

Very Good

Good stay for the price, good pools and friendly staff

Great swimming pools, lovely room and fantastic friendly staff.

Location not very good

L’hôtel est tres beau et le service est sympa. Parfait

Staff were excellent but it was understaffed in the restaurant could have done with extra staff as they were run off their feet. In general it is a great place have stayed here before.

Veldig fint sted. Stranden var ikke så bta, men fint basseng og strand! Supre rom og kort vei til både flyplass og restauranter

Loved the jacuzzi on the balcony. Great setting, and very friendly, welcoming staff. Breakfast by the beach set us up for each day. Would definitely recommend, and hope to revisit one day.

Great hotel. Very nice room. Clean and newly updated. Jonas at reception was helpful upon check in and booking a taxi. Only downside is the beach is not good for swimming unless you have some sort of water shoe. Amazing beach view for the sunset over the temple. There are a couple pools on property that are nice so can cool down that way. Food is average and a bit on the expensive side at the restaraunt.
