"Quiet location up on the cliff with great views out to the ocean and surrounding beaches. Spacious, well maintained rooms with a private swimming pool. Staff were very friendly and exceedingly helpful, nothing was a bother. Restaurant on site was very nice. Being based up on the cliff made it a little more difficult to explore local restaurants, etc. but the property provided transport to and from anywhere we needed to go. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing Koh Samui experience."
