Best hotels & accommodations in Koh Samet

The hotel located in the middle to both beach and ferry jetty. Room very clean but we encountered some mosquitoes at night in the room. The front desk staff not very helpful as she also needs to take care of the cafe. Quite slow response. Wifi ok, air cond ok.

We traveled with a small puppy, and we enjoyed every bit of our stay! The owner had been very kind to us, since the moment we walked in to the property. He even brought a water bowl and drinking water for our puppy :) The property itself was also very good -- clean, spacious, and well equipped, with a full kitchen (microwave, refrigerator, cutleries, dishes, cups, cof...

Olly is a great host, very friendly and made sure everyone had enough air con and that the hostel was clean at all times. Made the effort to learn and remember each guests name which was a nice touch. He also provided suggestions on places to go for dinner that did not disappoint. I like how the dorms are laid out with sliding doors, gives that extra layer of privacy a...

Traveler impressions of Koh Samet
Koh Samet is a really nice place for a family,lovers& tralvelers to spend holidays!There is no too much people ,too much shopping ,just sunshining,beach,and good food.
The water and beaches are very clean with soft white sand. This Island is a quite relaxation Island which is away from the normal loud experiences on the mainland.
Want an enjoyable stay? Stay at resort at Ao Prao for $500 per night or suffer. Don't go if you have a disablility
Nice island near Pattaya, very easy to go there, can take local bus than ferry, inside renting motorbike, nice relaxing.
Koh Samet is blessed by wonderful beaches and not much else. Generally the the accomodation is substandard and there is price gouging for tourists.
Koh samed is really a big island For me, the sea is not very clear, if you want to dive, you have to go far away, other sports is just so so.
I recommend to go to Koh Samet in Low Season(water clean,sand white and clean), and in high season a lot of people and many speed boats / water not so clean and staff so tired, not so friendly like in Low Season.
I think Koh Samet would be best enjoyed in a group of close friends because the population limits their interaction with foreigners to "commercial-transactions only!"
It's a lovely little island around 3 hours from Bangkok, an ideal weekend getaway place for anyone. Lovely, crystal clear blue sea, many beaches to choose from and still nice and small.
becareful , don't go to the agency who people sell ticket and hotel , it's a trap . they rip off you, you can get the island for 30 bath with the big boat and 50 bath with the speed boat, just go and find the man who drive the boat.
this is a retreat for people who wants to have a getaway from the bustling city . you can sit by the beach and drink to content .
apart from beaches, the island is keept very bad, rubbish everywhere, the center has an area very smelly and unsane, there would be the possibility to perform some sport activities, unfortunately the small forest in the center have no access, no walk side intricate trees dont allow any walk, the restaurants, the personnel of hotels, are not friendly as the rest of thailand, never smiles it seems that, they are upsets to have tourist, wonderfull place kept very bad and managed worse
A Island that you should walk around and explore! Friendly people and don't be shy to ask if in doubt!! Water activities like water ski, boat parachute banana bout are fun too! Food are great and fresh!
There's something for almost everyone here, but if you want to mainly relax, then this is the island for you.
Highlights, be prepared to walk to hotel, rent a motorbike or pay 1500 baht for a 1 km ride in the bead of a pickup with no shade.
ชอบเกาะเสม็ดมาก อยู่ไม่ไกลจากเมืองกรุง แถมยังมีหาดทรายหลายหาดให้เลือกไปพักผ่อนตามความชอบของแต่ละคน นำ้ใสๆ ยังมีให้เห็น ที่พักก็มีให้เลือกหลายรูปแบบ แต่ไม่ควรแพงไปกว่านี้แล้ว
I find the place safer than I have thought it would be. The beaches are still nice and the people are lovely.
Well,there are many bays in Koh Samet but the most peacful bay is Wai(in my opinion).Wai bay is a national park around with natures.
I first visited Samet in 1996, it was a beautiful untouched island. Today it resembles a rubbish tip, a fly tipper paradise.
Not easy to travel to but worth the trip. Not as touristy as Phuket which is a huge plus point. You get beaches that are nice and not so crowded.
Rent a scooter to get around the island. The best beaches are furthest away, down south or west away from the party areas.
Not very pleasant stay. Trash everywhere. "Public transport" with song keaw pickup truck is a rip-off.
The road network has improved enormously in the last year so the trips between the popular beaches only takes a few mins Although I have visited Koh Samet now 3 times , this was my first shopping visit to the town .
Very busy and lots of jet skies and people selling stuff. Water not the cleanest but OK. Great shame as I stayed here 10 years ago and it was wonderful.
Great hideaway from Bangkok. Suites great just for weekend or for longer vacation. Great beaches with clean water.
This is very nice place to stay and depend on which beach do you want to spend time, we stayed in Ao Wongdrean that very romantic and relax place, no crazy party.
Real relax beach holiday not far away from Bangkok, and couple of beaches for you to stay that match your need, clean and clear sea water and white sand to step on
Koh Samet has a lot to offer almost anyone. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway from bustling Bangkok, you can find that on Koh Samet.
Samet is a tiny little island, just 2hrs South of Bangkok. People go there for the sun, the beach and amazing night life.
Koh Samet is a small island that was only a National Park, but has been developed with many Hotels and Resorts.
