SALA Samui Resort and Spa
10/9 Moo 5, Baan Plai Lam Bo Phut, Koh Samui Suratthani, Thailand
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The serious novelty-seekers have probably moved on from Koh Samui, if not from Thailand entirely, in search of the next great undeveloped tropical paradise. That’s their prerogative, of course, but to give up now is to miss out on places like the Sala Samui, which brings a bit of much-needed upscale peace and quiet to one of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations.
Private pools go a long way towards alleviating any sense of commotion, and at Sala Samui no fewer than 53 of the villas fit that description — meanwhile the minority that don’t, the so-called Deluxe Balcony rooms, have what’s more aptly described as a veranda, and a spacious one at that. Space is at no shortage here, and the higher-end villas and suites truly sprawl, with pools that are big enough for swimming, not just plunging.
Sala comes complete with a gym, a spa, and a pair of beachfront swimming pools, plus a couple of restaurants, one outside by the beach, and a surprisingly extensive wine cellar. You’re located on the relatively untouched Choeng Mon beach, but it’s by no means remote — just a few minutes away from the bustling Chaweng Beach, if that’s more your speed.
How to get there:
Sala Samui Resort and Spa is a 5 minute drive from the Samui airport, 5 minutes from Bo Phut's quaint Fisherman's Village, and only 10 minutes from Chaweng Beach shopping and nightlife. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange airport transfers.

Nothing
What the hotel could do better:
So much, the service was terrible, the worst I have ever had in a so-called 5 star establishment. We were in pool villa which was tiny and completely jammed next to other villas, there was absolutely no sense of privacy. There were mice in the room, but this was nothing compared to the service and quality of room, service and restaurant. The breakfast was absolutely terrible - how can you even get fruit wrong in Thailand - withered and prepared goodness knows how long earlier, bruised and sometimes tasteless which is a travesty in a country with such delicious fruit. The staff were actually arrogant and rude, and wore dirty uniforms even at breakfast time. We had just come from the Mandarin OrientaI in Chiang Mai where the service was second-to-none but nonetheless I was so disappointed I felt really ripped off as it actually cost more to stay at SALA Samui. After the first night I complained and tried to move, the Manager refused to see me and they just said that we would have to pay for all of our nights if we left. It was the worst Hotel experience of my life.

What I liked:
The pool/beach area of the hotel is amazing. The poolside/beachside service is also amazing. The rooms were small, but well appointed with lots of open airiness if you wanted or super fast and quiet a/c if you wanted that, instead.
What the hotel could do better:
The hotel was fabulous, the food is very good, and the service is friendly and efficient...the lighting in the rooms/bathrooms is the only thing that I would improve upon. It's very very dim...everything is already on a dimmer, why not give people the option to make things a little brighter?
