Very nice little place on the hill, but just for 1-2 nights, for inconvenience, spacious room, private swimming pool overlooking the coast is the strong point of this hotel, there is a restaurant next door where you can dine, price a little more high. Excellent communication with reception via whatsapp, free taxi to/from silver beach and coral beach

koreanI rented a car with my family.Recommended for cars over 1500ccI rented a car under 1500cc and came here with a cafe on the mountain in Koh Sai Mui, but the car almost stopped several times.The slope is very crazyThe view is really good, but because it is a two-story structure, you can see the faces of others on the upper floor, on both sides, and diagonally on the upper and lower floors, so it is not private.The view alone is good.It's nice to have Netflix, but the wifi is very slow.Welcome drink, honey lemon. It tastes very sweet and honey.There are many beaches nearby, so the view is nice, but it is not recommended to go to the beach or soak your feet as there is waste water everywhere.disadvantageThis is the towel addition knob.

I stayed at this hotel for five nights last week. This place has a great view, which I shared in the photo. It’s BEAUTIFUL!! The reason the view is so good, is because it is tucked away on a cliff side. It’s very private and you get very little “party noise”. In order to get here you have to go up a VERY steep road. So steep in fact that some of the tours that offer pick up and drop off from your hotel wouldn’t come up the road for pick up; instead dropped me off on the road. This was quite surprising to me, because the road, while steep, is in excellent condition. The road is also wide enough that you can drive two trucks by one another easily. I rented a little car and was able to get back and forth with no issue at all. I found this disappointing on the part of the tours. This location also makes walking to anything unrealistic for many travelers. I’m in decent shape and workout multiple days per week, and was GASSED walking to the top of the hill after a long day of activities.On arrival they had a delicious cool honey tea waiting for me. The staff are kind, helpful, and communicative. I really appreciated how well they took care of things such as an issue I had one night with the hot water not working. They are also quick to help you set up tours, find a guided activity or just generally help you have a good experience.The room I stayed in was really nice. It had a wall mounted a/c unit that worked very well. The views were excellent from multiple locations. There was a porch area with an elevated hot tub, that was wonderful at night. It was very private and cozy. The mattress was a bit soft but lots of people like those mattress toppers. I prefer a really firm bed myself. There is a mini fridge in the room and the charges for things in the minibar are just a little more than the grocery store. Not highway robbery like in the U.S. They provide bottled water daily for no charge. The usual Samsung flat screen is in the room but didn’t dominate it. There were nice chairs inside around the coffee table. The indoor porch area had a table and chairs as well. There was also a small patio outside the room. The room was clean and all things appeared to be in good repair. The shower has two separate heads, one with a detachable wand and the other fixed. They are separated by a few feet so you can turn them both on and have a luxury spa like shower if you wanted to.The breakfast was a mixed bag. The fruit they had out seemed old or just hadn’t been picked ripe. That’s odd in Thailand where the pineapple and watermelon and other fruits are so good you want to weep a little. Their attempt at mocha was pretty bad. The French toast was pretty good. It just wasn’t what you would expect from a Thai spot. The lunches however were a different story. Everything I had there for lunch was excellent! Pad Thai delicious. Seafood curry, so good. Fried rice on point!! Everything was fresh and cooked to order. I ate poolside at the public pool which is right near the open area where the reception is. Some rooms have a private pool and you can have lunch served to you on floating platters. This sounded fun but I didn’t pay the extra for that. The public pool, is kind of a misnomer as there are not that many rooms, especially when you consider some have their own pools, so I saw one other person there, once. The view from the pool is lovely and the pool goes right up to the edge of the wall so you can look directly out, into the ocean.Overall the staff and the view make this place a nice stay. The out of the way location caused more than a few problems for me during my trip. It just wasn’t something I was expecting. I think if you want a tucked away spot that is quiet and gorgeous, with very friendly staff this spot is great. If you want walkability and easy access to activities and night life, pick a different place. Now if you rent a car, they have parking there and you can get to everything within 10-30 minutes.

The accommodation is very good. The room is spacious. Quiet, good atmosphere Can see the sea in 360 degrees 🥰🥰🥰 Suitable for relaxation The employees are very friendly and take good care of you. The way up to the accommodation is quite steep. If you're not good at driving, we recommend notifying the hotel to pick you up directly below. As for us, we didn't know before that it was this steep. Slowly drive up Extremely terrifying. 🤣🤣🤣 Overall 10/10 ❤️❤️

The service staff is very good.The way up is very brutal. I'm not good at driving, so I have to let someone else drive for me. It's very steep and the view is very beautiful.

We stayed in the Lotus villa, outstanding size and views truly amazing. Staff have been amazing from the receptionists through to the shuttle driver. Nothing is too much hassle for them from booking excursions, to recommending places to go. A great place to stay for our last 3 nights in Koh Samui

The villa was fantastic with spacious living areas including bedrooms, kitchen and living room. We had a beautiful view from our balcony. Free transfer to local beaches and an invigorating walk up to the hotel if you are so inclined. The staff were excellent and thoroughly recommend this villa.
