"a quiet gem above the madness"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
Varinda Garden sits on a hill above the tourist-filled beaches of Koh Samui Island and what you give up in near-ness to a beach is more than offset by the solitude, friendly service and unique charm of the resort. You can easily forget about the maddening traffic of motorcycles and cars on the road below. And with a large swimming pool filled with constantly- flowing, warm water, and surrounded by palm trees and tropical plants, who needs a beach anyway. A water slide is at the dividing line of two halves of the pool, and adults seem to enjoy it as much as kids. The decor of the restaurant and surrounding grounds is original and very tasteful -- in a very Thai way. Calling it quirky doesn't quite do it justice, since it all comes together nicely. Family-friendly, I'd love to return with our grandkids some day.

"Great place"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 7, 2013
We were very pleased with the Chaweng. It is a beautiful property. The staff were polite and helpful. Great breakfast. Fun beach. 2 beautiful pools. Our room was a bit of let down from the pictures on line. We were given rooms toward the front of the hotel near the lobby. They were in the only building that didn't have a nice view of something (garden, pool, or beach). The room didn't look nearly as beautiful as the pictures. That said it was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
"The spot for relaxation."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013
I had a wonderful stay at Code. The staff was amazing and went out of their way to accommodate. The rooms were extremely comfortable and clean. If you are looking to relax on a vacation and want some privacy, this is the place to stay. Note that it is not a location that you can walk around from. The hotel is situated way off from the main road. The hotel provides complimentary transport to the beach at certain times of the day and will pick you up at off hours for a small fee.
"Nice hotel, beach not so nice"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 5, 2013
Nice hotel, very clean and in the middle of Lamai Beach. I imagine a nice beach in front of the hotel... To my surprise I wasn't able to swim. Ocean was extremily brave in front of the hotel and sorroundings...
"Not far from centre, short distance to restaurants"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 4, 2013
We were happy with hotel we selected, very relaxing atmosphere. It would be even better if WI-FI was free.
"Fairview - nice place on Ko Samui"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 1, 2013
The hotel is away from the crowded beaches, which is nice. It has it's own private beach and a pool, so if you're just looking to relax it's a great choice. The only downside of being removed from the crowds is that it is also removed from restaurants, shops, and other things to do. The hotel does have a shuttle service, but you have to reserve your seat in advance and the shuttle only runs at specific times (it is not all day). The hotel food was decent, but overpriced for Thailand. I didn't find it to be as impressive as the reviews I'd read on TripAdvisor indicated. Instead of eating the hotel food, take a 10 minute bike ride up the road and find a place to eat there. There still aren't a lot of options on the road, but you'll get a similar meal for 1/2 the price.
"beautiful and unique"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 29, 2013
the kale is an amazing hotel. the deck on the water is lovely, the breakfast is FANTASTIC, and the service was impeccable. four points of feedback for the hotel: 1. wish they had a constant shuttle to lamai and chaweng, considering how far it is (and taxis are expensive) 2. toiletries in open, slippery containers is not hygienic! 3. we were super bummed the pool was being cleaned for TWO days of our stay. 4. prices at hotel for lunch and dinner are crazy. we would have eaten at the hotel much more if they were more reasonable.
