Stay here!!! This is an amazing property. My husband and I did not want to leave! The villa is worth the extra cost! Fantastic dining options- don’t forget to book at Dara Serene beach dinner. The staff is amazing! Mook and Rit were amazing poolside and dining servers and were so friendly. Zay assisted with a seemless check in experience. We were treated like we were the only guests on property. Great breakfast buffet with a made to order section. They have a great beach area that has a break so it is calmer than the rough waves further down the beach. Walking distance from beach clubs and water activities but this resort offers so much you really do not have to leave. If we go back to Koh Samui, we will not consider staying anywhere else.

This hotel is on a nice part of the beach and walkable to many restaurants, shopping and nightlife. My only complaint is poor water, pressure in the shower (I have long thick hair), and the water temperature fluctuating from hot to cold. Not sure there’s a whole lot the resort can do about this, we did make a complaint about the water pressure which got slightly better, but no changes in the fluctuating water temperatures from hot to cold. The staff were kind, and attentive. Make sure to get a coconut shake! I think our family had them every day. The other fruit shakes were also delicious, but the coconut one is special served right in the coconut! Dinner on the beach the way they set up. The tables is truly a unique experience. The seafood is excellent, as others have also said. Hotel made it easy to arrange pick up and drop off at the airport.

I e been tying many different resorts in similar price range with similar ratings and this was pretty high up on all areas - except for two items. Parking is almost impossible- the local taxi service parks multiple cars right in front and even cones off available spots to save for other drivers. You have to argue and wrestle with them - sometimes they back fown and others not - the hotel can’t do anything because they pay the police so they won’t make them move! It’s prime party spot for Chaweng - so good luck. 2nd is that there’s the biggest club not too far away and if snd when the wind is blowing from the wrong direction- you hear and feel the noise and beat until 5am. Many guests complained - but nothing the resort can do- 2 nights no problem. 2 night- ear plugs didn’t even help. Breakfast was one of the better ones in the area. Very convenient location for dinner, activities If you don’t have a car and are a heavy sleeper- this is great place!

We always try our best to find a parking spot for our guests although we did inform our guests the hotel does not have a private parking site. You are correct about the challenge we have with the loud music especially when the wind is blowing in the "wrong" direction. On the most recent situation, we had notified the authorities and I am happy to share that we did not have this problem last night.Once again, thank you for staying with us, for sharing your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back at Dara Samui Beach Resort.Yours sincerelyMark SuppiahGeneral Manager

Great place
This place seems to have mixed reviews, but after learning about the covid policy on the island, and hotels on the island being completely shut down for years, they have alot of catch up to do to get back to pre covid states. This includes maintenance, updates etc. Our stay was great, nice spacious rooms, very polite staff, always willing to accommodate requests. Only complaint was the bed and pillows.

Needed extra towels!
We requested extra pillows and towels, as it is extraordinarily hot and humid on this island. They would only give us a couple extra towels. Other than this issue that we had every day of our stay, everyone else was very nice and accommodating.

Dear James Thank you for staying with us at Dara Samui Beach Resort. Thank you for your kind compliments towards our team who made your stay very nice and accommodating. I have noted your feedback about "extra" towels. We apologise for this as we were running full house and we do have a set of towels for every guest per day. In situations like this, we ensure every guest will receive one set of towels. We would comply with your request should we have additional towels. Once again, thank you for staying with us and for your kind compliments. We look forward to welcoming you at Dara Samui during your next vacation on Samui. Best regards. Mark Suppiah

Cockroach infested room, staff sprayed insecticide and insisted we stayed because "the insecticide is safe", and refused to move us to a new room. Horrible attitude and service. We took a picture of the cockroach as it was crawling and called the hotel IMMEDIATELY. One guy came in, looked around, searched on the floor and was shocked by something he saw underneath the TV cabinet. He leaves and returns within 5 minutes and starts to spray INSECTICIDE in our ENTIRE room. He tells us everything is ok and expects us to sleep there. A front desk lady comes in and translates that the insecticide is safe and not to worry. The cockroach was not even the problem because we understand we are staying in a tropical island where cockroaches are normal. The problem is when you spray a room of "SAFE" insecticide and tell us to stay. We obviously refuse to sleep there for the night. 1.) Front desk lady tells us to GO TO THE BEACH at 10PM and walk around a bit and come back. We refuse. 2.) Front desk lady tells us to sleep in the room because other rooms are fully. We refuse. A quick google on a few websites tell us some rooms, yes more expensive rooms, are available. After 1-2 hours of arguing and going back and forth we were moved to a room with an extremely dirty bathroom, broken TV, and broken refrigerator. Next day, we got "upgraded" to a new room. Thats great, thanks, but the entire attitude of the staff and carelessness for the well-being of customer is unbearable.

Dear elleeela Thank you for staying with us at Dara Samui Beach Resort for 3 nights in May 2019. I have personally looked into your feedback which you shared on Expedia.com. Our report indicated the following: i. TRUE - you did come to the reception informing us there is a cockroach in your room at 21.15h. ii. TRUE - our housekeeping staff came to your room within 10 minutes to try to get rid of the cockroach but he did not find any and suggested that he spray your room with insect repellent. iii. NOT TRUE - "he was shocked to see something underneath the TV cabinet" - he did check underneath the TV cupboard, underneath the bed and various places in your room but did not find any cockroach. iv. NOT TRUE - our Housekeeper sprayed your room - he never sprayed the room. v. TRUE - you did notify us that it is not safe for you to be in the room if he sprayed the room and that you wanted to be relocated. iv. TRUE - Our Receptionist did come to your room to explain to you about our room situation on that night. v. You came to the reception after this and our Senior Guest Services Agent apologised to you first and then informed you we have a room that does not have a television but everything else works. She notified you that we can move you to an available room the next day. You agreed to move and we assisted your relocation. vi. The following day you went for a full day trip and upon your return, we showed you to our Deluxe Suite which you stayed until your check-out. vii. TRUE - we are in a tropical climate and cockroaches are common. Once again, thank you for staying on with us despite you finding "the entire attitude of the staff and carelessness for the well-being of customer is unbearable". I truly apologise for the inconvenience you had on your 1st night with us.
