My family, including our three teenagers, had a fantastic six-night stay. Our spacious suite was perfect. The entire staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Abigail was particularly outstanding with her warmth and helpfulness. The breakfasts were simply superb, offering a delicious start to our busy days. We highly recommend.

A stunning hotel. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed like royalty. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated in an elegant, locally inspired style — perfectly combining comfort and authenticity. The service was top-notch: attentive, warm, and always smiling. Breakfast was absolutely incredible — fresh, generous, and varied. And the beachfront dinner, toes in the sand and eyes on the sea, was pure magic. Another remarkable aspect is how peaceful the hotel is — from the room to the pool and even the beach — despite being right in the heart of the city’s lively nightlife. A true bubble of calm in the middle of the buzz. Highly recommended.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Dara Samui! From the moment I arrived, the reception staff were incredibly responsive and helpful. They were always polite and went out of their way to assist with anything I needed. The entire staff was friendly and made me feel truly welcome throughout my stay. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had! There was an impressive variety of options, from continental to local dishes, both sweet and savory. It truly catered to all tastes and preferences. The hotel itself was spotless and meticulously maintained, with great attention to detail in every aspect. I highly recommend Hotel Dara Samui for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Koh Samui!

This is a nice hotel in a good location on Chaweng Beach. . The rooms are comfortable and well furnished, the only problem in our room was a very noisy air conditioner fan that was either too warm on low or too cold on high. The pool area is lovely but if you wanted a sun lounger next to the pool you had almost no chance after 9am as guests got these very early and stay there all day. The are plenty of sun loungers on the beach though. The breakfast is good and the lovely staff member Sin was very welcoming every morning. The hotel restaurant on the beach is a lovely experience and our waiter Jackson was hilarious. It is very easy to walk to markets, cafes, and restaurants. We really enjoyed Samui Cuisine which is a 5 min walk from the hotel and has excellent food and cocktails We would highly recommend staying here. 😀

This was our second stay at Dara Samui and again we really enjoyed our stay there. The location is great in terms of walkability to restaurants, bars, shops etc. Located on the beach you can walk along the beach to other resorts or bars too. The staff are always very courteous, friendly and respectful. Such lovely people. The room is gorgeous in a traditional Thai style, like the resort. We spent most days beside the pool, overlooking the beach. My only negative point about our stay there was people smoking beside the pool. There are pool regulation signs around and one of the rules is no smoking around the pool area. Apparently it is Thai law. However when we were there, about half of the pool chairs had people smoking, with ashtrays with no regard for other guests. Staff did not stop them at all. Very disappointing having to be exposed to dangerous cigarette smoke. I hope the next time we stay at Dara Samui there will be better management of people smoking. Maybe they should be restricted to the beach area?
