"The owner family really takes good care of the guest. The food at the hotel is yummy & fresh & responsibly priced. Thanks for a nice 1 week long stay! "
"The Ampersand Hotel offers a stunning and serene retreat with its beautiful, exotic beachfront location. The atmosphere is quiet, making it perfect for relaxation. The on-site restaurant is great, serving delicious meals, while the service throughout the hotel is top-notch—staff are friendly, helpful, and genuinely hospitable. They even went above and beyond by arranging convenient rides to and from the airport. A wonderful stay overall!"
"This place was the private Villa and quiet beach that we needed. If you want the hustle and busy bustle Koh Samui has to offer, this isn’t it. Great included breakfast each morning and the staff was very accommodating for anything we, our child, and my parents needed, including transportation. "
"Great resort and attention to detail by the staff. Some of the things stated were cancelled due to private events which was disappointing. Having said that, it was a lovely resort. "

"Absolutely wonderful hotel, the staff go above and beyond, just loved everything from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. If I can think of just one improvement, it would be to have a bar open after dinner in the evening as after dinner everyone seems to just disappear either out to Fisherman’s village or to bed, so would be nice to have a bar just to sit and enjoy a cocktail "
"We were a family of 4 staying in a two bed villa. The villa was so spacious, we loved the outdoor living area. Well equipped and pool towela provided. The kids loved our private pool aswell as the big communal pool (we were often the only ones in it). The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was conviently next to a quiet beach which was great for sunset walks. Some nice local thai places to eat within walking distance too. The big buddha is a 20min walk or short taxi ride away.
The only thing I'd highlight is that the two bedrooms are not connected and are essentially seperate builds with the pool inbetween. As we were travelling with small children (under 6), we didn't feel comfortable leaving them in their own room across the pool where we couldnt hear them, and also concerned we wouldn't want them trying to walk to our room in the night and accidently fall in the pool. Instead we just slept 1 adult, 1 child in each room, which was fine but just not what we had anticipated when booking a 2 bedroom villa. I'm sure older children would be fine, but thought it was worth highlighting to other families of small children."
"Great hotel on Cheongnom Beach. Clean rooms with outdoor bathrooms and pools if on ground level. Staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. You can have dinner on the sand if you desire. Breakfast is served overlooking the beach. Beach is clean and water nice. Would highly recommend. "
" Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The villa is spacious with beautiful amenities including a lovely deck and pool, game room, movie room, and plenty of space. The management was very communicative and responded quickly to questions. I highly recommend this place!"

"Perfect little hideaway on the north of Koh Samui. Stayed here for 5 nights with our teen daughters, had a 2 bedroom set-up with a very generous pool! Immaculately clean, and comfy beds. Onsite restaurant is great. We did take a taxi to Fisherman’s Village most nights for our dinner / meals, but it’s only a 10 mins drive and about 300 baht.
Seven-11 just a few mins walk away.
There’s about 12 cottages, and a huge shared pool which was almost always empty.
Big Buddha and CabyBara Cafe are a mere 10 mins walk away."
