We stayed at Explorar using the luxury escapes package and it was all around a fantastic experience. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The pools were cleaned and well maintained. We enjoyed watching the sunset at the restaurant whilst enjoying a delicious three course meal. We also enjoyed some of the workshops/live music at the resort.The only thing is that the location is a little remote - but the resort does provide a free shuttle bus to fishermen village/chaweng.Thanks for great stay!

From the moment you step inside Explorar you feel you're somewhere special! The welcome coconut drink with Thai rum on the side, the leafy and floral immaculate grounds, the amazing service from all staff, the awesome jaw dropping pool and bar with infinite views of the sea framed by palm trees and blue umbrellas just give you that peaceful relaxed tropical vibe that says " wow I'm going to have a wonderful time here!" That's exactly what my friend April and I experienced during our one week stay. The resort is very clean and tidy including the rooms probably the cleanest I've seen! The dining area is superb with views of the pool area and the sea it really was designed for ultimate pleasure whether you're having breakfast lunch or dinner. The food - well top class on all levels mediterranean and Thai dishes to cater for all tastes! Not to mention the delicious woodfired pizza! The pool and bar- our favourite place to be! You can order snack and pool side food cocktails and drinks which are just devine! The staff - outstanding all round! So friendly and genuine with their time really make this resort a cut above the rest. Special mention go to Joey, Min Hret, Ivan, Min Min, Benz, Kevin, Jan and Moo for being the best hosts of this fabulous resort! Thank you for making our holiday so great we had an amazing time interacting with you all!Please do yourself a favour...stay at Explorar! You won't be disappointed!!

A very instagrammable hotel, with an amazing pool but not the most serviceable in operation. First of all, it is on the other side of the city - far from everything, and this continues with the fact that there is not even coffee in the room, the area of ​​the hotel facing the beach is closed because it becomes a restaurant and you cannot sit there without ordering and also the dining room itself - unlike many hotels in Thailand - a complete lack of understanding for kosher needs and a very limited range of kosher (problematic for vegans too, obviously), and even in the shower - there is no manual shower - only water that comes out of the ceiling so that at the end of the day - it looks very pampering but falls short in many small details. Reception was really an experience with a delicious coconut and a nice towel

The hotel was very clean and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately there wasn't much choice at breakfast, which is a shame. The bed is very stylish but impractical; I hurt myself on the edge when I got up. The air conditioning was very loud, so sleeping wasn't easy. The exhaust air in the toilet was also very noisy.

My stay at the Hotel Explorar in Koh Samui was simply exceptional! The location is perfect, surrounded by heavenly beaches and lush vegetation. The rooms are spacious, modern and offer magnificent views of the ocean. The staff is extremely attentive and makes sure every moment is enjoyable. The atmosphere, being reserved for adults, is very calm, ideal for resting in complete serenity. Special mention to the cuisine: each meal was delicious, with fresh produce and dishes that highlight local flavors. A true corner of paradise for a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in Koh Samui!
