The view, the staff, the pool, the service, oh did we mention the pool? From the moment we arrived the staff were amazing, providing a guided tour to the property. This is where we first met Wan, she is warm and friendly and makes you feel at home. We had booked the sunset room and here to say it did not disappoint. Being shown to our room, Wan had already placed one of the keys into the room to set the AC. Upon arriving, we were blown away by the attention to detail, space and the incredible balcony. Wan explained all the details and how to make the most of this amazing property. The extra large bed was comfortable and the room even had a ceiling fan above. The infinity pool is incredible, looking out across the bay, watching the planes as they come into land, having the ability to order straight from the Maithy restaurant to poolside creates an atmosphere of luxury. Even the house keeping staff, were friendly and engaging. The property is situated at the top of a hill, and when we say too, we mean it! This makes for views that kept us mesmerized the entire stay. However there’s a convenient shuttle provided by the property, so it’s not an issue. We used Grab on a number of occasions and they dropped us at the top anyway. People flock to the Maithy Restaurant just for the sunsets, which says a lot. If you’re looking for a little bit of luxury, with some of the best views in Koh Samui, great staff, great amenities, comfortable beds and just a fantastic vacation… Unique is a must!

We absolutely loved this boutique hotel! The property is made up of beautifully designed private villas, most with a spacious bedroom, cozy living room, and a private patio with an outdoor jacuzzi and seating area. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered – from the stylish décor and wine fridge to Japanese toilets and TVs in both rooms. The villas surround a pool that overlooks the sea, right at the edge of a nearly private and perfect beach. The location is fantastic – just a short walk to excellent restaurants and massage places. The staff were exceptional: warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to making our stay special. The breakfast was delicious. We can’t wait to come back!

The pool villa was everything we expected. The size of the room was great and really confortable with an actual table and a lot of space. The hotel and staff were really good and love the two drinks for free per day on the minibar. Love the app to schedule cleanings and review all the options available in the hotel.

Amazing location if you are looking for a quiet relaxing vacation but still lots of options around to eat out, massage, convenience stores, bars. Choeng Mon is a quiet and relaxing part of the island. The hotel facilities and the rooms are kept extremely clean and the staff is very kind and attentive to the guests. The breakfast has great variety and good quality food for all kinds of diet needs. Service at the restaurant and the beach was exceptional as well. As a solo traveler, I also appreciated the staff coming over and having a chat everyday.

The room comes with great panoramic views of the sea and the mountain. Very clean and comfy, just a few points down from the TV which is not connected to the Wifi and no Netflix is readily available signed in. The breakfast was superb with a great view overlooking the seas. The staff are very friendly and attentive all throughout the stay

I cannot recommend U Samui enough! Their warm, friendly staff perfectly complement the high-class, spotlessly clean rooms. I was lucky enough to stay in a private pool room which offered unmatched seclusion and privacy. The food was wonderful and to add to the experience, we dined with an incredibly beautiful ocean view. An extraordinary experience that I would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking for an exceptional vacation. A definite 5-star rating from me!
