Dara Samui Beach Resort

Alice Skippings

We highly recommend this hotel, it's in a great location, quiet but within a two minute walk of the main strip of restaurants, 7/11 etc. The pool looking onto the beach gives you great views and great options depending on your sea/pool preferences. Every day between 1-3pm is happy hour (they ring a bell so you won't forget) and the cocktails are great. The building you see in the pictures is the main restaurant where breakfast is served, with a lovely view over the pool and sea. The staff were always incredibly helpful and friendly, and we were able to book ferries and transport to other islands/the airport all from reception.

Amazing experience at this place all the staff members were so kind and help full, especially Nadia, Lek and Thet. They all made us feel very welcomed and so informative. The pool and amenities were also amazing, with a delightful buffet breakfast every morning, and the menu was slightly different each morning too. Definitely will come back here again.

Decent hotel for the money actually. Pool is ok and the room not bad just old. Room was clean enough. AC was super noisy tho and the food was terrible and expensive from the restaurant. Can easily get much better food with better service for half the price further down the road. Lots of people complaining about mosquitos but I didn't see any. The fish pond is a nice touch.

i wish i could write a better review about this place. when we arrived the room didn’t look like the picture and felt a lot smaller in size. the room smelt damp so they used oil diffusers to cover the smell. as soon as we turned the diffuser off the room just smelt and felt so damp. i developed a horrible cough and it would only get worse in the damp room. there where mosquitos in the room despite rarely opening the balcony and door. i was getting bitten in my sleep and so was my partner. the wifi constantly disconnected and i could barely update my family on anything that was happening as nothing would send. my partner got food poisoning from the food at their restaurant. the set up was beautiful that they did to us for our honeymoon but unfortunately my partner got very sick for 3 days. there was also barely any sunbeds available and was always very busy. we also found the guests to be quite rude and it wasn’t a pleasant environment. despite the negative review we do thank the staff for being very lovely and trying to make the stay better for us. the staff are very kind and bought us breakfast to our room, more water and fresh towels. the buffet breakfast was also nice. unfortunately this is not how we imagined our honeymoon and deeply wish this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

The staff is absolutely dedicated and very kind and 100% service oriented. We felt in the time we stayed here very well treated. Also the breakfast is rich with everything you need. Sparkling water would be a benefit. The only small downside maybe the side „garden view“ where you see on an empty not tidied building space … Due to the flood during the day you can’t lie at the beach and the pool side is very crowded and sun umbrellas are rare… if you swim a lot or don’t care you will enjoy here a lot. In the eve they Put up tents for dinner at the beach - very nice. All in all - we tested at least 10 hotels during our time in Thailand this time - and this one can be recommended.
