The Beluga is by far the best hotel in Samui!! I want to thank Ooo, Oliver, Nine , Win, Ne and all the other amazing staff as they actually made our holiday very special. They are some of the most beautiful people we have ever met and we will be back next year for sure.The food is nothing short of amazing so we really didn’t go anywhere else as it just doesn’t compare.We stayed in a few rooms as we had to change our booking due to a family situation and they could not have been more helpful . We moved to 3 rooms and they were all beautiful and unique and we loved them all.The beach is the best in Samui and by far the most beautiful right in front of the hotel. There is a bar next door owned by a great bloke called “pok pac”. He usually opens around 4pm and is so worth the wait. He is good friends with Beluga so it’s like you are surrounded by family…this place is truly unique and a hidden paradise as we never considered them staff, just friends to have a laugh with and make great food, drinks and have a fun with. .Thank you once again guys for making our time so special.Love Louise and Richard xxxxPS. The above review is from last year. This year we went back and it is even better than last year. These guys really know how to make you feel like family and it was alot harder to leave this year.Everything about this hotel is top notch. I cannot recommend this little piece of paradise enough. Nothing is to much to ask for and my favorite time of the day is around 4-4.30pm. This is when we sit up at the bar and have a drink, listen to "fufu" 🤣 and chat to the staff. These guys make the Beluga (apart from the maginificent view, food, rooms etc.)Thank you all so much again for making our holiday so special and we can't wait to see you all again next year.Love Loui and Rich xxxxxx

What a holiday I had at Beluga! It was my belated 50th birthday and I truly loved every minute. Beluga is small, and intimate without the noise and kid’s screaming that other resorts have.Ooh and the staff made me feel like part of the family, I felt so warmly welcomed at every turn. The food is absolutely delicious, the cocktails spot on (thanks Win and Niine!!), the view a tonic to your nervous system and the vibe so instantly relaxing. I would go back in a heartbeat!

I have just returned to Australia after spending a week at The Beluga with family.From the moment I arrived late evening , I was greeted with a warm friendly smile and made to feel at home by the owner Oliver and his amazing staff . Every request was taken care of and I was shown to my room , which had the most beautiful ocean view .The resort and rooms are kept impeccably clean . The staff go out of their way to take care every single person with a smile and make you feel special .The breakfast and food service was five star, The chef kept the kitchen immaculate and food was delicious. All the finishing touches made even a simple breakfast omelette amazing .The resort was chilled and relaxed , with the most incredible views . Pool was lovely , and the giant frangipani tree my favourite .Thank you to ‘ O’ and her staff for making my holiday magical. Highly recommend .

Small hotel (14 rooms) at the end of Lamai Beach.Service very good.Unfortunately there are a lot of stones in the water, you have to walk a little to get into the water.Manager and owner very impersonal for the size of the facility.Friends of the owner often come to swim in the pool.Pool small and didn't seem that clean.Sea view room had a great view but was expensive (€110 a night).Air conditioning is good but not enough for the bathroom.Breakfast was small but good.Kitchen also good. Hotel pricesI wouldn't book again.

Very disappointed. When it rains too much, the electricity and water are cut off, making the room unbearable at over 30 degrees without air conditioning. Other hotels in Lamai had generators. I had to pay for another hotel and I lost a paid night, without compensation, not even breakfast. Unacceptable service. To avoid.
