Saikaew Beach Resort

Staying 2 nights at Saikaew beach resort was great. The room was very good and amenities. The staff was excellent and the restaurant and cafe were very good. This is a good location, right on the beach. Plenty of free loungers that were more comfortable than most places have. Pepe was a very helpful staff member and gave us tips where to go on the island.

Great staff, good food and rooms, very nice beach, excellent band performing on weekends. Surroundings not good. Very nice for a weekend escapade!

Excellent resort located right on the main beach, the place was super clean, the team were super friendly and very accomodating. We stayed in the cottages, the older part of the resort, close to the private beach, the rooms there were in good condition and very comfortable.

방갈로 숙소는 왠만하면 추천하고 싶지않습니다. 샤워수전은 호스가 없이 해바라기 수전만 있어서 사용하기 불편했고 수전자체도 물때가 잔뜩있어서 청결해 보이지않았습니다. 수도관도 문제가 있는지 전체적으로 물이 누런빛을 띄고 있었고 샤워실자체 천장이 얇은 판으로 되어있고 틈이 있어서 옆방에 말소리 다들리고, 외부 벌레들 유입등 유별난 부분이 있었습니다. 그러나 가장 큰 문제는 내부 인테리어가 목제 구조물이 많아서 개미들이 집내부에 계속 있다는 것입니다. 모기가 있는건 이해가 되지만 개미는 숙박을 묵는 내내 스트레스 였습니다. 모기와 개미에게 물리는걸 피할수는 없는 상황 + 캐리어 같은 개인짐에 개미들이 들러붙어있는 상황이 문제였습니다. 그리고 방갈로쪽 풀장은 죽은 벌레, 나뭇가지가 떠다니면서 전혀 관리가 안되어 있어서 풀장을 제대로 이용하려면 비싼 숙소가 있는 프리미어 존 쪽의 풀장까지 걸어가서 이용해야했습니다. 숙소내의 편의시설까지 이동하는 거리상으로도 가장 먼곳에 위치해서 번거로웠습니다. 이 모든것을 가성비적으로 생각해서 묵었다고 하기에는 싼편도 아니였습니다. 하지만 직원분들은 모두 굉장히 친절하셨고, 조식 괜찮았고, 특히 Winkks 음식점은 가격이 비싼것을 제외하면 맛이 아주 훌륭했습니다. 코사멧의 해변이 아름다웠고 즐거운 섬여행이였지만 방갈로 숙소는 정말 추천하고 싶지않습니다. 구조물 리모델링과 확실한 방역이 있어여할 것 같습니다.

Been coming to Sai Kaew Resort for 16 years. It’s a great location with a very competent and friendly staff. There is major construction going on which we were unaware of. They also moved the breakfast buffet from the location next to the beach to another building which has no view. Finally the food inflation in Thailand is unbelievable and this applies to all tourist locations. It varies between 300 and 800 percent. Yes the numbers are correct. It is a sad development to what I consider the best vacation destination in the world.

Reception staff service not mind

would stay again

Absolutely beautiful, did have slight trouble with our room but the manager came to apologize and fixed everything. The views were beautiful, the show is amazing and the ambiance everywhere is extraordinary. We only came here for a day on our trip because we had lots of other places to visit but when we come back to Thailand we would definitely stay there for our whole trip. It’s a paradise that you wouldn’t need to leave!! Highly recommend

A very nice place. Could easily have stayed another week. Will be back.

Great location. Swimming pool is great with the Deluxe room access.

There are things management can do to make this a 5 star resort. All they need to do is have a consultant firm do an analysis and they will find a number of easy solutions. We did enjoy the property but there is room for improvement

Everything about this place was perfect from beach to the Hotel. Friendly stuff, good food and the beach was just awesome. We loved it and Will come back!!

Friendly staff, alot pools and activities. 5/5

An amazing place.. perfect location, the staff were outstanding always smiling and saying hello. The breakfast was phenomenal, I highly recommend

We are amazed how this hotel gets better and better with time. It’s definitely our favorite place in Koh Samed.

Great stay

I really enjoyed my stay at Saikaew Beach Resort. Having last visited 20 years ago I found things had completely changed and the resort is now a much more modern hotel. Staff were very friendly and the hotel is perfectly located on the island to have access to everything on offer. Would definitely recommend and return.

Excellent

High end resort in Koh Samet, at Saikaew Beach. Comfortable room (premier), very good staff, nice pool, fantastic beach. Breakfast was good, but for the roomrates incl. breakfast, it could be better. High end resort, but also high priceses on food and drinks.

Very friendly and respectful staff- always smiling! Beachfront was amazing - white sand and warm water. Amazing breakfast buffet

Lovely hotel that gives you an unforgettable holiday. The room is a

Beautiful property, friendly staff, locate in town area with variety of restaurants and activities

The resort was really nice, the beach is right there and the pool is also lovely. The entire resort is beautiful and they arranged a fun snorkeling excursion for us that was 700 baht per person. The food was good although pricey, but there’s lots of other food in the town and along the beach.

nice facilities and location. requires improvement with management. We expected more from the price paid.

This is my second time at this resort, they welcomed me with an elephant made from towels in my room "Welcome back" Food was good but the service at restaurant was slow and served untimely. The beach is great but service on the beach was hard to get. Transportation to and from the ferry was provided by the hotel. My only complaint is when they drop you at the ferry it is very confusing where to go. They need to provide foreigners with some instructions where to go at the pier. My GF is Thai and she was frustrated on what to do.

Ok so the bad first! We booked a Delux Cottage which was rather shabby & in definite need of a refurb. The bedroom was good but the bathroom was dated & dark. The cottages have tin roofs so when the fruit falls off the trees in the middle of the night the noise is terrible. The room & beach towels were ragged although a good size. Now the good! The bar, restaurant & Spa are gorgeous. Breakfast was plentiful & had great choices of Asian & Western foods. Staff were friendly & all areas were spotless. Scoop ice cream parlor was delicious & the cakes in the cafe to die for. The beach was very clean & the sunbeds comfortable. Location was great ... 5 minutes walk in to town, easy to get taxis & close to all the beach front restaurants. All in all a lovely resort, just don't spend the extra money on a cottage.

The property overall is quite good and the location first rate. Service from the staff is the standout at the hotel.

Everything was very good although we found that when my friend got food poisoning that the staff were a bit rude. Food was taken off the bill but staff didn’t understand the severity of the food poisoning from the food from the restaurant.

Like the breakfast selection, staff is friendly, food and beverage orice was a bit pricey

All

Really nice hotel I would say the best on samet for the price restaurant food is really good breakfast had a lot of options and the hotel just looks a lot better standard than others along the same beach would definitely stay again

The resort is fantastic with many amenities. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is friendly and very helpful. Will stay again.

We had a hut in the hide away zone which was nice and private with its own picturesque small beach. The resort handled the transport from the pier all the way to our hut. It was well organized. The grounds are beautifully kept and there are lots of flowers and birds. We also had an hour massage at the spa which was excellent. The main beach has soft white sand and clear warm water. Definitely would come again.

A quick overnight trip from Pattaya. 1 hour taxi ride to a half hour boat ride. Hotel picked up at the dock. Check in was a breeze. Nice white sand beach and good amenities.

Very nice service and atmosphere , with al the natural garden like environment ! Quite and pleasant surroundings .only little problem at shower room, the water run kind of slow at drainage system !

Hotel generally was good , initially we were given the wrong rooms , we didnt realise until we were asked to moved to the bungalows, a lower class room , wouldnt have been a problem except the premier room was great so felt like we were being downgraded, bit dissappointing but suppose that was the room we booked. 10 minute walk to the reception and beach though , bit time consuming 6 times a day. Overall good though , beach area and loungers were perfect. had a great time at this resort

Beautiful resort! We enjoyed the lush, well-maintained grounds and private beaches. We stayed in the bungalows and loved them! Very cute! I preferred the bungalows to the other room locations which are more hotel-like and surround noisy pools. Location of the resort is very convenient. Be sure to take note of which bars/pools have happy hour!

Sofar so good! View is good, but Any unhappy thing happen so next time maybe come again should be found another Resort!

Near by of SaiKaew Beach and easy to reach beach side. Good for kids to enjoy staying.

Stayed in the Deluxe Premiere suite, which was very spacious. The small patch of reserved beach was well kept. The landscaping was gorgeous. Nice and close to the main shopping street. Stayed during off-peak time, which meant it was very quiet but also that there were not so many staff on hand. On site food was pretty good.

Got bitten too many times by bed bugs.

Great staff, big resort

Great stay at very clean property with outstanding staff. The only negative would be the comfort of the beds. For us they were too firm and even with our inflatable air mattress it was tough to get a good nights sleep.

The hotel was probably very nice when built, but you can see that it starting to get a bit old. We stayed in the deluxe cottage and i would not say it's worth the price, we stayed in much nicer places in Thailand for less money.

Great location. Breakfast selection was good. Cultural feel of room and property. Great service.

A real slice of paradise. Hotel takes care of you from arriving at the dock. Best mini break I’ve had 😊🏖😎🍻

Very nice hotel and especially inside garden have a value words for everyone. We will visit again. Unforgetable trip.

This is a very nice resort. It is especially nice for people who live in Bangkok and don't have time to travel too far away. We highly recommend it.

The resort and staff where terrific. Beautiful location and very comfortable accommodations. They made every day special for our special honeymoon

This hotel has two places to stay. Two small three story typical hotel buildings and tons of cabins spread out across property. We did not know what we were getting until we got there. The cabin had a small bedroom that is air conditioned and a huge bathroom that is not. The staff was very kind and the food was good.

A well located option with good facilities. We stayed in a Premier room which was very pleasant and located on a beautiful courtyard with a pool in the centre. It was much quieter than the beach area. The resort provides ferry service from the Ao Prao Pier on the mainland anf this was well coordinated and the waiting room at the pier is great!

The hotel location was perfect. It located almost at the end of the busy saikaew beach that was very popular with the tourists and the local vendors. Considering how busy the beach was, our hotel stay was very nice and quiet. The room was surprisingly nice and modern. The transportation provided by the hotel (local songtaew bus and ferry to the mainland) was also wonderful and convenient. Also, the beach itself was busy with vendor throughout the day and the evening, but it was cleaned up nightly. Very impressive.

In general itnia good but they could do better in some small touches. There were no cotton pads supplied and also no laundry plastic bags (you have to ask for it). Water drained from the air conditioner and made our things wet ..... Check out took too long and they only check the room after the check out process complete and they made you wait until the room was checked which waste you another 10 mins!!

Very good hotel with excellent staff. Very welcoming throughout, beginning as soon as you arrive at the pier just outside Rayong for the ferry. Koh Samet is almost perfect. Lovely hotel, lovely beach, lovely people and clear waters. Annoying were the speedboats coming and going. So many. Had a day trip (turned into half day trip) to Ao Phrao but 2 speedboats reversed directly at us when we were swimming in the water forcing us to get out. They parked on the beach securing their anchors right in front of our deck chairs (50THB a day) and some of the Chinese tourists even went to sit in our deck chairs to take photos. Park employees not interested in our complaint or safety. Hotel is more expensive than others but worth it. Next time we will come in low season and hope for less speedboats with tourists taking over the resorts and beaches.

Extremely poor service from front desk staff who are rude and obnoxious. The property is beautiful and is divided into three areas. Cottages are the nicest. Staff Service and training needs a major overhaul.

Payed approx 12000 THB incl. tax for two days at this beach resort in hotels.com and we was placed in an ugly bungalow about 5 min walk from the hotel's main buildings The bungalow was not nice and is worth at most 3000 THB for the two days. Nothing in hotels.com indicated this but showed us a nice resort in the pictures. We had to upgrade to get the standard we expected in the hotel main part and payed another 5000 THB. My Thai wife told me that the staff said that they gave us a Thai price upgrade, not sure about that. Our new room, breakfast and it's location was good but we will not return because we felt disappointed and tricked by this resort! The staff was nice as they should be for the price. We didn't extend our stay and moved to another hotel..

Amazing resort !! I will plan to go back next year!!

We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and loved it as it was in the garden away from the busier parts of the hotel. Sitting outside in the morning sun was an absolute joy. Would go back.

Top notch customer service and a beautiful beach. I was very happy during my stay and would definitely come back.

Good timing for a visit to the island and the hotel too.. good activities and wonderful service as well.

Nice location Clean Friendly stuff. Private beach Nice food.

I would give 12/10 to the score for this hotel, every service since depart at a peer with speedboat, the time we live there until we left. I felt like a timeless moment, very relax, and peaceful place. Also my dad got some injure by accident, and the staff took care of us very care and kind. Really impressed. I would visit there again next time, totally recommended.

Nice and quite place to relax. Very nice break from the busy city. Staff are nice

Beautiful location, very green and lush grounds and right on the beach. Lots of food options along the beach. - There are different parts of the hotel - there's quite a gap in level between the cottages and the more hotel-ish rooms.. if I stayed again I would book the more expensive rooms. + Staff were lovely, and everything was done for us, from the mainland to hotel room - from the flash waiting area for the ferry to welcome drinks at check in - and we didn't have to walk or carry our bags at all.

Beautiful resort 1 minute from Han Saikaew We enjoyed very much

I have stayed at this resort many times as it offers the best beach access, cleanliness and walking access to downtown restaurants and shops. There are a few higher-end resorts on the island but the tradeoff is distance to anything outside the resort. I booked room 101 this time which is one of two beachfront villas. I will always book this room in the future. It is amazing with huge views of the ocean and private access to the beach. The room is gigantic and feels more like a home than a hotel room. Overall Saikaew Beach Resort will continue to be my go-to resort on the island.

Nice and comfortable hotel. Good service and staff are friendly. Very good environment, cosy and nice view.

Generally very good hotel with very pleasant staff. A few minor glitches , but overall excellent ( don't sweat the small stuff) On the beach and convenient to and from the mainland. We did not want to travel along way from Bangkok. This was 2 hour taxi ride to the pier and then easy 15 minute ferry ride from the pier. This is a good point to visit other parts of the island My girlfriend did not care for the old ferry that took us to Ko Samet, But I thought it was great. She preferred the speedboat that took us back but I thought this was boring Found the restaurant was good in the evening with an adequate buffet breakfast.

beautiful location, fantastic service

My sister and I stayed here for 1 night during our 6 day vacation to Bangkok. It was nothing short of fantastic! The location is great (on the beach), rooms are very nice and clean. The overall ambiance has a "beach house" feel to it which is a perfect escape from the hectic streets of Bangkok. I highly recommend this hotel! This resort is perfect for families, couples and young travelers like my sister and I.

Nice hotel with great staff. Really good quality for an island location.

Relaxing in a beautiful setting

Amazing resort with very friendly staff!

The hotel is nice and clean. The food is good. Very close to the beach.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely stay here again. Staff were extremely friendly, rooms clean and food in the restaurant was great.

The whole resort is huge, with a wide range of room selections. The standard room is pretty ok bathroom is pretty big. The pools were great, 3 pools are quite attractive especially the one on the premier side. Staying on the premier side seems to be better as you do not need to walk too far and it's close to the restaurant :) The resort itself is huge so it might get crowded in the weekend.

Perfect location for those who want relaxation. Quiet beach but very convenient to go out for night life. Great staff. Parking lot at the port is safe

Fabulous hotel, good location and very friendly staff - would definitely go back

lovely hotel on Koh Samed...good surroundings minutes away from high street and shops.

During the stay one of the nights there was a thunderstorm and the Wifi was dropped. Having to wait for approximately 7 hours to get it reinstated is really bad. Imagine there was nothing else we could do on this island and limited resources or entertainment is not good. The TV Signal was also terrible, no signal at all. I had to troubleshoot it myself and concluded that the cable connectivity was bad. I had to request for the hotel maintenance guy to come fix it. We had like 8 to 10 hours of downtime with no entertainment and stranded in the room. There was anxiety that with the thunderstorm and heavy downpour, our little bungalow was surrounded by trees and we dare not sleep for fear that one of the trees may just topple over out little cottage. Furthermore, there was a tree behind our cottage that has been dropping seeds over the plastic roof that was covering the bath area and it was disturbing our sleep into the night. We feedback several times to the staff but nothing was done. On the whole the stay was satisfactory, we rented a bike and explored the whole island within 2 hours. Although the establishment owns 7 resorts on the island we reckon Saikaew Resort offers the best package in terms of amenities, rooms, views and ambience. We hope the establishment could consider having a sea-transport service for its guest as we were ripped off by the boat operators at the Pier.

Everything there was excellent and they looked after us very well.

Amazing, relaxing and spirit of freedom and peace.

We had a lovely stay at Saikaew Beach, fascilities were excellent, close to beach and restaurants. I would recommend Saikaew to couples and families as they cater for both. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

This resort is amazing! We got the premium seaside room which was lovely and spacious. Everything is so well organised and efficient by the staff from the waiting area at the pier, to the lovely speedboat drivers, to the fantastic and friendly porters. The resort is lovely and is in a great location, with a range of places to eat close by and also fire shows. The beach is lovely, but we also spent a lot of time relaxing in the pool which overlooks the sea. The F&B staff were great at the restaurant and cafe, and the gardeners do an amazing job of making the resort grounds look beautiful. Fantastic place to stay - loved it!

We stayed 5 years ago,still good service,new room block,well fitted out,ours was a little too near effluent treatment for comfort. Good choices for breakfast,dinner BBQ disappointing ,local inedible meat ,should also offer premium imported meat in hotel of this standard. Very efficient travel arrangements by hotel to and from the island.

everything about this resort is perfect ! from staff, room, restaurant, beach and cleanliness . Paid 8,000 THB/a night for the cottage .. Love it so much! feel so relax n high in privacy

Nice hotel , beautiful beace, but the manager in charge need training.

It was a great hotel and a great stay at the resort.

I liked the stay in general, but the shuttle boat is not there if you get after 3:00 pm, which means you have to pay your own, the same coming back. Also the hotel staff doesnt protect the beach beds from non guests other than that is pretty good!

Excellent hotel with good service, nice rooms and facilities, from Pool to Spa and Restaurants...close to a clean part of the Beach..

The stay was fantastic. Pure relaxation

The rooms are fantastic. Hotel staff are welcoming and the location is great

Great stay again at Saikaew Beach. I think its the best on the island. Quiet end of the beach, always clean with excellent service. A little pricey but lovely place!

Deluxe bungalow definitely not 4 star. Small, dark, unrenovated, musty, cockroach on pillow. Asked for upgrade but all they did was show us another dingy bungalow. Slept the night on a hard mattress then went back to reception to complain (loudly) a second time. Wouldnt upgrade us but finally showed us a nicer bungalow which we accepted. Whole experience awful. Would not recommend this resort. Best thing was fire show which took place on beach restaurant not connected to this resort.

Lovely resort accommodation but still a bit pricey even so. Easily based in the best location for the beach and a choice of bars and restaurants as well as the small main street that has more bar/restaurants as well as a small number of shops. The accommodation is very smart,clean and very well appointed. Just wish some of the restaurant staff would be a little more cheerful and welcoming. overall would still recommend this hotel as one of, if not the best, on the island!

We came as a family of 4, took the new area which the rooms are built around the pool. The room is clean and big enough, dot even need to add exrra bed. Check in is quick. Love the small bed by the window. Staff are nice and helpful, food are great! Love the BBQ and live music. There is not much to do outside the hotel, a short weekend is just just prefect.

loved it ...perfect...

This is my 2nd review of Saikaew Beach Resort. I chose to try the Premier Seaside over my previous experience with the "Deluxe" (not) room. The Premier rooms are in the newer part of the development, closer to the beach, pools and restaurant. The room is bigger and cleaner than the "Deluxe." I still like this resort best when wanting to be close to the island's main beach and town. I would look elsewhere if you value higher quality over proximity to the main drag.

Great hotel !

Very little to do on land. So if you want to just sit back relax by the pool and beach then this is the place for you. Clean resort with helpful staff. Only improvement suggestion is to stop the instrumental music in the bar / restaurant and play a mix of old and current well known music.
