AVANI Samui

Ana’s guide

We had a pleasant stay at Avani+ Samui Resort, and the true highlight of this hotel was definitely the staff. Every single person we interacted with was kind, welcoming, caring, and genuinely amazing. They really elevated the entire experience and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. The room itself was beautiful, modern, and comfortable, with great amenities around the property. Since we stayed for 5 nights and unfortunately had rain almost nonstop for 4 of those days, we ended up spending a lot of time enjoying the pool, gym, and the pool/ping pong tables, which helped keep us entertained. That said, there are definitely areas that need improvement, especially for a hotel that markets itself as a 5-star resort. The shower pressure was inconsistent and quite weak, making it difficult to properly wash shampoo and conditioner out of our hair. The fixed shower head was also leaking and spraying water everywhere, so we mostly relied on the detachable shower head instead. The biggest disappointment was the food. We would strongly recommend skipping the breakfast, as it was very underwhelming the few times we tried it. The hotel restaurant in general was overpriced and unfortunately the food quality did not match the prices ( a bad cold cheeseburger and club sandwich were 1000 THB). After our first few meals, we ended up eating elsewhere for the rest of the trip. Do yourself a favor and drive 10–20 minutes to enjoy amazing local restaurants with far better food and prices. Overall, this felt more like a solid 4-star hotel rather than a true 5-star experience, but the exceptional staff really made the stay worthwhile.

We enjoyed the warm hospitality from reception to trainer to waiters for our stay in this beautiful resort. Special mention to K. Beam, K. Pekky, K, Panini, K. Diggy and K. Nick. Our heartfelt thanks for taking care of us during our stay here. You made our holiday even more memorable and we hope to see all of you soon. Our room is beautiful but however one of the gate was damaged and drop off. Lucky no injury as the gate was quite heavy. Location is definitely not that convenient but if you are looking to a quiet getaway with beautiful people to serve you and nice food, I would highly recommend this resort.

Our stay at Avani Samui was amazingly special. All of the staff do everything they can to make your stay perfect. My partner proposed to me during our stay and the restaurant manager khun Vivian helped him in secret to make everything perfect. Khun Vivian went above and beyond to help my boyfriend plan beforehand, helped him pick out the best spot on the beach for our engagement and stayed after her shift was finished to make sure the private dinner was amazing. We stayed in a pool villa room and it was exceptional. Every aspect of the hotel, from the friendly staff, to the unbelievable food and the beautiful setting is just fantastic and we can't wait to return. Thank you!

Excellent service from “Bomb” at the front desk. Very professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the whole experience. He was welcoming, helpful, and made everything smooth and easy. Really appreciate the great customer service and positive attitude. Thank you, “Bomb”!

We are invited to join a Anantara vacation club preview trip for 4 days and 3 nights, overall speaking it’s a quite satisfied trip. Cons: *The location is basically the most far place from Samui airport, even though they provide pickup service. It is an hour drive, quite a waste of time. *The hotel has a small beach, limited choice of activity there. (But the beach is actually clean.) Pros: *Been travel to dozens of countries, this is the most friendly place ever have. 95% of the employees show a sincere smile when they see you. *The only one restaurant serve quite variety of foods with good flavor. (But the price is slightly expensive). *Room is very clean and maintenance well. *Spa quality is good but quite limited bette reserved earlier. *Different choice of events every day.(Some might be affected by raining days). *Free shuttle bus to Lamai beach and central mall. (But quite distant and due to poor road infrastructure it is quite uncomfortable, not recommended.) If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this could be a good choice.
