Banyan Tree in Gulf of Thailand from AU$270

From our first contact with the manager about bringing our stay forward a day, due to a potential typhoon, to the free late check-out (3.45pm), the early check-in they gave us and the amazing staff, I cant speak highly enough of The Golden Beach Resort. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the air conditioning worked like a treat, the beds were so clean and so very comfortable. The 3 pools were crystal clean and the food and drinks from the restaurant were great. The included breakfast was also...

Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, exceptional service 😊

I have traveled a lot, but really the services and location of this resort & spa is amazing. plus the staff is so lovely, friendly and very helpful when you need them. The program they have near the beach restaurant is nice. the environment is so beautiful. As for me I am planning to go there next year.

There is nothing negative to say about this wonderful place! The rooms are stunning with a beautiful outdoor style bathroom and the beach is perfection! The staff really look after you and we loved the incredible breakfast (with real coffee!) and beach service. The lounges and two towels, the water top ups and fresh fruit was so welcomed.

We had a five night stay and couldn’t be happier with our choice of hotel. Pool was amazing, breakfast selection was great and staff were lovely. Sunset overlooking the infinity pool and beach was beautiful. Highly recommended.

A beautiful resort - tranquil jungle setting. The bungalows were well set out & spacious. I couldn't thinks of anything extra you could ask for. The staff were friendly, polite and provided wonderful service. It is some distance from town but transport was easily arranged as well as tour bookings. The tranquility outweighed any transport issues. The breakfast was amazing as was food at the restaurant. Fresh and beautifully presented. Already growing herbs fruit and vegetables and with plans to...

Such a lovely, relaxing 4-night stay - would recommend!!!

The service was exceptional.

This hotel makes you feel part of their family, staff are all so friendly and will help you with anything you need. It’s in a great location, just outside of the Chaweng Main Street but close enough to walk to that area if you want to do some shopping or eat any of the restaurants there. The only negative feedback is the food. I would like to see a better breakfast buffet, add in some hot food such as pancakes, sausages, bacon etc. The Thai food is very average and would love to see more...

Karma is extremely picturesque, the design and detail throughout the resort is outstanding. Staff are willing to help, and very attentive. Rooms are beautiful - we recommend booking one with a private plunge pool as this was the perfect place to cool off. Spa services were quite expensive, but there is a cheaper option for massages just in front of the pool. Pool itself was perfect, with comfy options for lounging and a great ambience set by the resorts constant music. Restaurant and breakfast...

We booked the Gardenia room with spa and ocean veiw, very happy with our stay. Love the room decorations, very neat and clean.Enjoy sitting at the patio reading my book and listening to the sounds of running water is particularly refreshing, calm and relaxing. Very impressed with the services. Our room is not ready upon our arrival and obviously we were very tired after 13.5 hrs of flying but we were offered with a spare room to rest :)))and the same being offered to us on the day of our...

I last stayed at Sala Samui more than 7 years ago. While still the same offering, it's got better. High quality pool villas, shaded day beds on cheongmon beach, great pool, good restaurant and faultless service.

Beautiful resort in a great quiet location. From the initial airport pickup to the drop off, everything was 5 star service. The resort itself visually beautiful with a private beach, beach side restaurants and two large pools. Our room was beach side, very large with lovely features. Overall a perfect relaxing resort. Free kayaking was a particular highlight! The staff were exceptionally sweet and accommodating. The Wednesday night cocktails event was especially thoughtful, with complimentary...

Stayed a week at a wonderful beachfront room, which had a private pool and was not overlooked, and which had amazing views of the sea and the islands. The staff were ever so friendly and the hotel was always clean and quiet. The hotel is in a relatively quiet area but transport to nearby Bophut is easy.

My partner and I couldn't have booked a nicer place to spend our Honeymoon. The villas were beautiful and modern, and having a private pool was incredible. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, and it was a pleasure to stay here.
