Accommodations in Ao Phutsa

Bed was VERY comfortable! Room a bit dated but clean and all facilities functioned well. Breakfast was nice, staff was attentive and always available. Location practically on the beach.

The staff are friendly, helpful and good services.

This place was a little gem. The rooms were nice. The bed was large and comfortable. The mini fridge was appreciated for our fruit and water and soft drinks. The breakfast was included and it was large with many options. The staff was extremely kind and gently and helpful. We would definitely come back to this lovely little resort/ hotel.

What an amazing little gem! This place has it all, small and quirky, right next to the beach (with bars and restaurants). There's a small pool to freshen up and you can rent bikes on site or across the road. Good breakfast in the morning and food available during the time. There's also a small shop for your essentials (beers and snacks). Super vibe if you're after some small and easy going. Well done all at Green Bay!!

We just returned from an absolutely magical 4-night stay at Vimarn Samed Resort, and it was the perfect beachside retreat we needed! Nestled on a serene peninsula between two stunning beaches (Ao Prao and Ao Wong Duan, just a 1-minute stroll away), this hidden gem offers a peaceful escape from the busier spots on Koh Samet, while still being close enough to explore the island’s vibrant vibe. From the moment we arrived (after a quick speedboat from Ban Phe pier—pro tip: book transfers through the resort for seamless service), the staff greeted us with warm smiles and cold welcome drinks. The check-in was a breeze, and they even upgraded us to a sea-view room at no extra cost because it was available. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with air-conditioning that actually cooled the space, a mini-fridge stocked with complimentary water, and a private balcony where we watched sunsets over the turquoise waters every evening. The tropical decor felt authentic and inviting, like stepping into a private Thai villa. The resort’s infinity pool overlooking the ocean was a highlight—crystal clear and rarely crowded, perfect for lazy laps or just floating with a book. We spent hours snorkeling right off the rocky shore in front of the property (bring your own gear, as rentals are limited), spotting colorful fish in the shallow bays. Beach access is super easy, and we alternated between the calmer Ao Prao for sunbathing and the livelier Ao Wong Duan for evening drinks at nearby bars. Meals were a delight, especially the included breakfast buffet on the open-air terrace: fresh tropical fruits, fluffy omelets made to order, crispy Thai pancakes, and strong coffee with ocean views. Dinner at the on-site restaurant was equally impressive—try the grilled seafood platter; it’s sourced fresh daily and bursting with flavor. Portions are generous, and the prices are a steal compared to island averages. What truly set Vimarn apart was the genuine...

This is our favorite place to stay on Koh Samet. The staff is always exceptionally friendly. The rooms are clean and so easily accessible to the beach and restaurants. Staying here truly gives you the "island vibe" experience!

Very clean, nice staff, perfectly located on the beach!!

Great location, peaceful private

Great place, great staff & super location !!

For sombAdy who look quaet place, whit nice beach, this is 5 Thy star. In front of resort have secret coral area whit giant shell. Look so colorful and butiful whit lot of colorful fish. That is secret place less people know. Near nice Apache restorant.

Great location (less than 30m from the beach) even if the surrounding is a little bit abandoned. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Easy of access, near a hotel where you can eat breakfast. You get what you paid for.

It was a great stay. Yesterday when we arrived, we were greeted by the wonderful staff alongside oce

We stayed in the Villa and it was honestly the most relaxing holiday we've had! The place is a couple minutes by songthaew from the pier (we paid 50 baht/pax). There is no pool but the beach right in front of the property is the cleanest and calmest beach in the island, and we know this because we visited some of the beaches where other luxury resorts were. (To be fair, it was a bit rainy during our stay so this might have been one factor why the other beaches were murky and dirty.) There is a convenience store located in the other beach that you can reach by foot following a concrete pathwalk in front of the property - in case you need to buy some things not present in the resort (in our case, Tylenol!). Breakfast selection was amazing as well - they have everything from an egg station, pastries, and fruits to typical asian breakfast variety. Thai people in general are very kind, helpful, and polite, so it wasn't really a surprise to us that the staff were amazing! They had someone take us to our room and even offered to take us to our massage place during the night. The room itself was immaculately clean - we really felt comfortable and at home the moment we stepped in. No issues with plumbing, AC, and mosquitoes, but if you do have any concerns, their reception can be reached via landline and are quick to help with anything. The size of the room and its interior design are top-notch and not something you expect with the value you are paying. The sea view in the balcony is also a huge plus for me. The whole experience really was the highlight of my holiday and now I am absolutely torn between gatekeeping it and recommending it to everyone! PS - I had read somewhere here that the beach loungers in the resort's restaurant were always occupied by non-guests, but this wasn't the case during our stay. We had no difficulties finding available ones. And if they were all indeed occupied, we just sat in the restaurant.

Been staying at Ao Tub Tim every year for over 20 years and this resort is still a great find. Nice rooms, quiet beach, and helpful staff.

Very nice place- it is close to the beach but not overcrowded. The rooms are spacious and clean. Very nice and cozy place.

breakfast was amazing, beach was clean and beautiful

The rooms were really clean, modern and well appointed. The food was exquisite and not expensive at all. Great customer service

The best place I found to get away from it in years in Thailand! From walking into the path from the main road you feel a sense of peace, coming to the beach seeing the crystal clear water, the welcome and smiles from the family at Tongta is something you just don’t get anymore in Thailand. I had the bungalow booked for 3 nights and on the last night moved to room 8, which is no doubt the best sleep I’ve had in years (thanks Apple Watch for the stats to prove it). The waves lapping the rocks just meters from your bed is nothing but soothing the most entrenched stress from your body! The food, no need to go elsewhere, ate every dinner there! The birthday surprise setup, the fishing, and the fishing guide at night just adds to the experience, could not have had a better trip!!
