We chose this hotel by chance, because by December, from the hotels of Fr. Koh Samui, but we wanted to go to it, there were only two free rooms left in it (which was alarming), but we were very lucky!

Why this hotel is positioned as 4 * still can not understand. Excellent rooms (stayed in de lux across the road from the beach), super friendly and prudent service, very tasty cuisine (tried other restaurants on the island - decided not to "get out" of ours) but quite expensive compared to others dinner $ 150 - 200 for two , an excellent beach with a bar and security, swimming pools (and there are 4 of them), I won’t rate it - I don’t like to splash around in them. Own SPA - compared to Maldivian and Filipino ones by 4. There is a Russian-speaking manager - with a name that translates into Russian as "silver frog" (say hello from Olga).

It is better to stay in the rooms across the road (only the second floor!

) - quiet, calm, there is no beach and bar party, and walking to the sea - 70 m. Does not bother and a wonderful landscape with a babbling river. Moreover, there are such cute ones, as we called them "traffic lights" - two people are on duty around the clock and, seeing your approach, I stop transport on the road, although there are not many of them.

Invited to the hotel "island acquaintances", the Australians - ANANTARA, which is positioned as 5 * - much worse, and in our opinion, and the opinion of "acquaintances".

I advise you to visit the excursion "konopi" - the cable car - very beautiful and exciting, but be careful with safety - the Thais have a special relationship with it (none).

Another jeep safari. With a visit to the mountains, elephants, and other delights of the island.

We also took a car and rode around the island, you get used to the wrong movement in half a day.
I was pleased not with a large number of "reckless" compatriots both on the island and in the hotel.

Mostly Australians, Germans and Japanese.
I hope it will be useful to someone.
Have a good rest!
