"We had a great experience staying at Centara Life resort Samui. The staff were very helpful and responded to our requests very promptly. The pool is amazing. The breakfast is good (although compared to the centara life branch in Bangkok it could be improved). The location is also amazing. Walking distance to the night market and many restaurants and 5 min walk to the Lamai beach."

"Great space, very quiet and private, no road noise. Great pool and the villas were very cute, but pretty small. If your goal is a brilliant blue beach and white sand, then this is not your resort. The Ocean / Bay views are nice, but the beach was very rocky and shallow, and no real “Sandy” beach to hang out on. Only bad experience we had was with the lady at the check in desk, we asked for a taxi to town and she insisted we pay her directly for the ride, which we found out from the driver was about 3x the normal price. Very close to the bar scene, maybe a 15 min ride, and if call on your own and don’t use the clerk at the front desk, it’s about 300 Baht each way, or $9 American"

Chaweng Garden Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I chose this hotel because of its location on an amazing beach, and the fact I had read that is a more authentic and charming property than similar hotels in Chaweng. I did have minor worries about how planes flew overhead and it being right at the heard of the most lively part of Chaweng. However, as others have noted, the planes really aren't that bad, and you barely notice after a while. Also, it's a large proper and I really didn't hear any noise from any bars etc. If that's what you are after, it is right next to Ark Bar, which many people rate as the best on the island, and you only need alk a few steps along the beach to it. I got the cheapest room but it was spacious and had everything I needed. It was very close the restaurant, pool and best of all the beach. Most importantly for me, the sea is amazing for swimming. They do have red flags and warnings for jellyfish every day but I swam far out with no problems at all. There are jetskis in the sea but far out and quite far along the beach. The beach itself is gorgeous and most of the time you can get a lounger, though as ever, despite polite notices, people still 'reserve' some with a towel. The buffet breakfast is excellent and never crowded. They make your eggs, omelettes etc to order also. I've read complaints about price, value etc but I found it to be perfect. Chaweng is quite manic and as an area maybe I'd have preferred Lamia but Chaweng has the best beach and that's what I want."

"The hotel is set in a fantastic location overlooking the sea, with a lovely beach right on the doorstep. The grounds have a beautiful tropical feel, with plenty of plants and trees, which creates a sense of seclusion, particularly around the villas and the beachside pool. The staff were fantastic throughout our stay — always friendly, helpful and welcoming, and consistently greeted us with a smile. Breakfast was also very good, with a wide selection of options as well as freshly cooked eggs, pancakes and other dishes available to order. We ate twice at the premium restaurant, Tawann, and on both occasions the food and service were excellent. We would highly recommend eating there. Our villa was clean and comfortable, but unfortunately it felt somewhat dated and shabby in places. For example, the curtains looked grubby and in need of a clean, while one was also ripped. As a result, the room didn’t quite feel up to the standard we would expect from a five-star property. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. The location, beautiful grounds, excellent staff and quality of the food were all highlights. However, the property would benefit from some investment and modernisation to bring the rooms and facilities up to the five-star standard they are aiming for."
