Le calme et la piscine
La localisation, la qualité du petit déjeuner à revoir et surtout les prestations dans la chambre. Pas de restaurant Pour un lieu se présentant comme un 5 étoiles il pourrait y avoir beaucoup plus de chose.
Ein sehr schönes und ruhiges Hotel mit tollem Personal, das einen immer freundlich begrüßt und bei jedem Anliegen helfen kann und wird.

Peaceful in the nature
Big and comfortable bedroom and bathroom. Comfy beds and amazing staff. The hotel offers free bikes and motorcycles rent, which makes it easy to explore the island.
Our bedroom, even though it was amazing, didn't have a tv, and I really missed it during the evening. Besides that, everything was just perfect.
We loved staying at Sam Sam. We had a large villa big enough for a family of five with teenagers. The view was so beautiful. The villa and property was so clean. The staff was very accommodating and very responsive. The food was delicious. We loved the nature and seeing the hornbill birds daily. The morning breakfast was so good and had a lot of food options. We also ordered dinner and it was exceptional. The villa is a a short walk to the beach and other restaurants.
A mild smell in the upstairs bedroom only when it rained. It would last for a few hours.
We absolutely loved staying in Samsam, it’s a gorgeous property, so serene and quiet. It’s beautifully designed and every room seems to be thought through to every tiny detail. It’s situated at the top of the hill, the beach is only 5m walk away and you can also enjoy the small restaurants and cafes along the shore. One can take a bicycle or rent a scooter from the hotel to get by in the island too. It’s very clean, lots of good options for breakfast and we even had a pleasure to attend a dinner set up by a Michelin star chef. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, overall it’s a great hotel and we are looking forward to coming back here again.
I would be happy to spend even more time and money if there were more standalone facilities for example for massage, or for dinner. But I also completely understand the philosophy of in-room service.
Man fühlt sich als wäre man alleine in dem schönen Hotel. Man wird rundum betreut und alles mögliche wird organisiert!
Labai dėkingi už 7 naktų viešnagę 👌. Personalas padėjo ir gimtadieniu pasiruošti ir su mašina iki reikiamos vietos nuveždavo. Bet vėliau supratome, kad po langais yra nuomojami motoroleriai 👌. Tai bet kada išvykdavome po salą pasivažinėti. Buvome didžiojoje viloje su dideliu baseinu, gera virtuve, nes saloje yra turgus ir šviežių produktų galėdavome įsigyti.
Pusryčių pasirinkimas menkas. Pasigamindavome patys tai kas mus tenkino 😀. Turėjome 3 vonios kambarius, tai tiesiog trūko kabliukų rankšluosčiams pakabinti.
Samsam was amazing, the gardens of the hotel were beautiful, we got to see the hornbills almost every day. The pool was also great, and we ended up having it only to ourselves a few times. Delicious breakfast, the egg bar was a nice touch. The meals we had at the hotel were also nice. Pretty close to the beach and to some restaurants, by walking 20 minutes you have quite a lot of options. I especially enjoyed dinner at Stella 2 and the cocktails at Mohito bar. Amazing sunsets and sunrises you can see by walking max 15 minutes from the hotel. Staff were great, helpful and attentive while also giving you privacy. I also enjoyed the boat trip they arranged for us, and the complimentary pick up and drop off from the port.
Maybe one thing that could be improved is that in the downstairs studios the air conditioning is directly over the bed, and it can be a little inconvenient.
Got to mention the exceptional staff who always had a smile on their faces. We loved everything, the peace, stunning rooms, gorgeous pool which we often had to ourselves. Used the free bikes and had a massage in our room. Courtesy drive to sunset bar as well. Joined by hornbills for breakfast. Short walk to Leks restaurant for amazing food.
Leaving........
The breakfast, the service by the pool, all the food! the rooms, the staff were so kind and helpful! I loved this place! They picked us up form the port, they re arranged our booking when my partner was to sick to come, they made sure we had food prepared that wouldn't make my partner sick again! They were so kind and helpful!
Nothing!
We really like the location. It was so beautiful and the stuff was so kind and the service was just perfect. We couldn’t imagine anything better.
The only thing we were missing are some of the services that we’re not available at this time because of the low season
Beautiful location, great pool and lovely breakfast.
There was no bar service at the pool.
An amazing location and room, the view and the private pool are perfect..sadly if you are coming with kids the sofa bed that is noted on the size is actually a beanbag .. so this might be a slight issue.
We had a very unpleasant experince with the hotel... The staff's communication and level of english was quite difficult to navigate - with a very late flight and a young son we spoke to the hotel couple of days prior to book a transit back home - we were advised by the hotel and booked the return journey on the boat that the hotel confirmed was 1500 TB, which was a private transfer at 6pm ( which is outside of the standard boats as last one leaves the island at 4.30pm) as we had a late evening flight. The hotel upon checkout give us a n invoice for 4500 TB ( 3 times the price, when standard cost is far less ) - we had no way to leave the island and upon speaking to staff who's english was not able to assist us, we spoke to the manager with whom we confirmed the price 2 times to triple check said the cost is correct and it was per person vs in total.. which would leave us stuck on the island with no way to take our return flights. We ended with a price drop to 3500 as we had no other option, but tin addition to adding a taxi from the boat to airport ( which is 300 on uber / bolt ) they tried to charge us 1 230 for the same service. This felt extremely disappointing and fully felt we were misguided and tried to take advantage of. Had a lovely stay, however this has really placed a bad taste for us leaving the hotel.
Amazing Villas, beautiful place, quiet and lovely, staff are amazing and welcoming and trying to help with everything we asked for. The food was great and pool was great in our villa. Beautiful art all around.
The main area of the house as no air conditioning, makes it unusable most of the day.
Amazing! Best place I’ve ever stayed.
We’ve been to Koh Yao Noi 3 times now and this was always somewhere we wanted to stay. Due to it being April the rates had almost halved in price. It’s in a great location by Pasai Beach, you can hire scooters through the hotel so perfect for exploring. They picked us up from the pier in a huge truck! The room was huge, great aircon, comfy bed, and the bathroom was amazing the shower could fit 8 people! Breakfast was picked from an extensive menu and brought to the room at the chosen time. Presentation and food was very good. The ground were lovely, pool was so peaceful with a little bar. As it’s the low season we were felt like we had it to ourselves. It also has a huge gym! Which is rare in Thailand. It’s an arts hotel so the artwork was amazing throughout. One thing that would be nice is if you paved the side of the pool where the sunloungers were, the loungers were on soil, which isn’t as nice as the decked/paved part of the pool, but that’s a tiny thing! We hope to come back some day and stay longer!
The most amazing place. Tranquil and luxurious. Nice places to eat nearby and near the beach. Thoroughly recommended for a quiet relaxation.
beautiful and calm place to relax. staff was also super nice. clean rooms and super comfy bed. breakfast was great :)
maybe the way to the beach, but it is still worth it to stay at samsam :)
The hotel is stunning. Beautiful rooms, an amazing pool area – so many flowers and tropical trees everywhere; it really is like a dream.
You get everything delivered to your room, including breakfast, for example. I sometimes missed having a restaurant, but you get used to it. The only downside is that the kitchen closes at around 5 PM, so you need to order dinner in the afternoon. If you want something to drink or a dessert later, you can't get it, which was a bit inconvenient for us.
A little paradise , a private hideaway for romantic couples and nature lovers, very nice service , surprisingly good wine selection , everything delicately furnished and decorated … our favorite : the sea water pool with panoramic view and lots of birds also hornbills in our garden . Indeed a pearl !
Beautiful surroundings and very peaceful
Peaceful and beautiful location, lots of space in the villas, fully equipped and with nice decoration.
Breakfast seemed rather basic for this price point.
Beautiful small hotel with dedicated and friendly staff. We enjoyed every moment we spent there. The rooms are beautiful, huge and very clean, and the whole atmosphere is pleasant and quiet.
Rooms, pool, quiet place
The pool closes at 7 PM. Breakfast correct but could be better.
Nice rooms, original setting.
No restaurant in hotel, there are several nice resto's at the beach 2 km. north, far better then the 2 nearby. Welness could be improved.
Everything was great
Good location near the piers and local restaurants .
The pool area was not well designed ; the beds were in shade most of the day whilst the bar tables were in full sun !
The villas are beautiful and well located. Comfort could be better. Bed and pillows were ikea and not the level of comfort we’d expected at this price level. Communication had it’s dificulties. And one night we come home to a villa full of bugs, it took them over and hour to let us move to another villa for the night. Breakfast was poor. Those were the bad things - would probably book again, though. It is not a very touristy island and some of this is to be expected. Pool and kitchen as Well as bathroom were nice. Views were incredible. 5 hornbills living in our garden was cool. Very close to beach and good restaurants (both walking distance).
Basically Everything. The warm welcome, the pier pickup service, the modern buildings and big room, the pool, the quality of the breakfast, and the cleanliness. I also used the scooter rental (very convenient, 350 Baht per day (i am aware that this is a bit a high price, but considering a hotel rental, and no deposit to be made, i think it's a good deal))
The very firm bed..
We had a great stay here - very earthy and luxurious. The pool is the best I’ve ever seen. The staff was very helpful and kind.
Breakfast was a bit boring
Beautiful hotel within 3 minutes walk to the beach and bars. Staff were amazing. All very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was lovely too. Golf was very helpful when we needed assistance.
This is a true gem perfect for those looking for tranquility and relaxation. The hotel and the surrounding nature is very beautiful and the location is great with the ocean just a short walk from it. The staff is extremely friendly, caring and helpful. The only downside was that they closed the gym already at six. The island the the hotel is perfect for those looking for an untouched paradise, it’s nothing like the exploited and busy turist areas and it’s one of those places you unwillingly tips others about to keep that way ☺️
Fuldstændig formidabel oplevelse. SAMSAM er et paradis
The location of the room was really amazing, but that’s all we can provide as a positive feedback! However this alone does not satisfy a 5Star Accommodation in Thailand!
numerous issues they've encountered during their stay at Sam Sam, resulting in a highly disappointing experience. Some of the key points include: - **Boat Transfer:** The hotel didn't facilitate the boat transfer from Phuket as promised on their website, leaving the us to book it ourselves online. - **Breakfast Service:** The "Start me Up Service" breakfast was not as described, lacking variety and quality, and served in a meeting room rather than the privacy of their villa. - **Dinner Issues:** On December 31st, we were misinformed about dinner arrangements, leading to an unprofessional handling of a la carte order and going offered to order in a nearby restaurant outside SAMSAM - **Massage Appointments:** We faced scheduling issues and language barriers while arranging massages, leading to delays and inconveniences. - **Extra Bed:** our request for an extra bed for their child was repeatedly misunderstood due to language barriers. - **Room Service:** On multiple occasions, food and drinks were delayed or forgotten, and villa cleaning left doors open, inviting insects and compromising security. - **Food Presentation:** The presentation of room service food did not meet five-star standards, and the absence of napkins and proper table setting was noted. - **Lack of Management Presence:** The absence of a general manager to address these concerns and the staff's limited English proficiency further exacerbated the situation. Overall, we are extremely disappointed with the service and standards, questioning the justification of the accommodation's price and seeking a conversation to resolve these issues. We addressed above in writing to the GM via email, she also got confirmed from her employees each single point of our complain, she was not willing to reimburse a portion of the total amount of $5200 for 6 nights. She had excuses that we booked via booking, even though We booked the first night directly with SAMSAM.
Amazing place to stay. Such lovely people. Our room was second to none with all the required facilities. All the staff were fantastic especially Golf who looked after us for the whole duration. Nothing was too much trouble. She organised our transfer from and to the hotel. Definitely recommend this place.
Our stay was perfect from start to finish. Excellent communication before our arrival and a car was waiting for us on arrival on the island. The staff made our stay. Everyone was so friendly and genuinely very keen to help in any way possible. The villa was immaculate and everything was of superb quality. Everything was perfect with our stay - there is literally nothing to improve. Would recommend to anyone.
Truly amazing place. We stayed in a comfortable villa with the breathtaking view on the bay and its limestone islands. Great place to relax, enjoy food and less crowded part of Thailand. Hotel’s personnel was very kind and helpful in organizing trips and everything
Sam Sam is the place to go! Where do I even begin? It’s absolutely stunning! This beautiful resort is surrounded by lush greenery and offers every comfort you could imagine. The service? Exceptional. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely sweet! it’s hard to describe how much we enjoyed their hospitality. The food was flawless, and the bedrooms felt more like luxurious apartments, perfect for both relaxation and productivity. The Wi-Fi was great, which made it easy to work, and the extras, like the gym..were fantastic. I loved starting my mornings with a good workout there. One highlight was the private island-hopping tour they arranged for us. It was unforgettable! From pick-ups to personalized touches, they made us feel like the only guests at the hotel. This was, without a doubt, the best stay we had during our month in Thailand. I highly recommend it!
Great location right beside the pasai beach. The staff is wonderful and takes care of everything - pickup in cars, day tours, in-room massages, and providing rental bikes. We had a lovely time here. Spacious rooms, bathrooms, jacuzzi - it provides the perfect private atmosphere. Amazing restaurants 3-5 mins away.
Mildly expensive and a bit lacking in breakfast buffet choices.
Esse é um hotel boutique para pessoas que estão buscando algo diferenciado e completamente relaxante. Uma propriedade no meio da natureza, numa ilha bem estilosa. É certamente uma experiência que recomendamos. A equipe do hotel super atenciosa e sempre de prontidão para ajudar.
Very clean, very comfortable, no mosquitos were found in the room. Very nice staff. Nice pool area to hang out at!
If you want pretty and extra clean rooms - this is your place. However, if you are also looking for ”the magic”, this might not be your place. The Hospitality and the atmosphere they are highlighting on their webpage is just not there. It kind of feels like it has maybe once been a magical place with but time has gone by. Our suggestion to the owners/managers is to change the promise you are giving on your website or live up to it. If we hadnt read it, we propably would have been satisfied because the standard of the room was nice. When you pay as much as they ask for its all about focusing on the details! Other suggestions and comments: - We might be just entering the high season but please - bring soap to the common toilets - Clean the pool area first thing in the morning so customers dont need to see messy tables - Clean the fallen leaves from the pool area in the morning - Archery - again, make it accessable for customers or delete the mention about it from all of your media. - Gym, please make sure the equipments in the gym work. 2/4 machines were broken… - Breakfast - focus on quality not quantity - Hospitality is something else than just being nice and polite. Thus, whoever is the manager lead and train your staff
The best hotel ever..!!! We really enjoyed the hotel. The service of the staff was wonderful, they helped with our every request. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place, for sure we will return there in the future. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
My husband and I had an amazing time at SAMSAM. The staffs that SAMSAM is super friendly and super responsive. The food by SAMSAM is absolutely delicious! The resort is located in a great area, and near by is walkable beach and local cafe and restaurants! The resort also offers bike rentals and scooter rental for fee which allowed us to explore the island! I would highly recommend SAMSAM :)
Amazing place. The perfect crew. Quiet and stylish. Everything you need in Koh Yao Noi
We spent four incredible days at the resort, and it was an absolutely perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and personal attention that made us feel truly special. The staff was attentive to every detail, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere added to the magic, allowing us to unwind and savor every moment. Whether it was lounging by the pool or enjoying the delicious meals, everything exceeded our expectations. We left with unforgettable memories and can’t wait to return.
Exceptional service, beautiful kept property with thoughtful design, art and landscaping that creates a beautiful and comfortable space.
Beautiful place, the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful view to the beach. We came 4 adults, 3 kids and 2 babies and had a great time together. The beach is within 5 minutes walk. Quiet and pleasant place if you want a getaway from loudly Phuket
Amazing time here. Breakfast was great. Service was amazing. Room was beautiful and clean.
Had a wonderful time here. The front desk was amazingly helpful. They provided and reached out to us to help with transportation to and from the pier. They helped us with booking a scooter and had it delivered to the hotel. Breakfast was amazing and brought each morning at a time scheduled by us. We got massages and they ladies did a fabulous job!!! The front desk recommended a restaurant where we could also walk down the pier to see the sunset it was the most beautiful sunset I’d ever seen. The views were amazing.
We stayed at SAMSAM Yao Noi for two nights and enjoyed every moment of it. Our room, Villa Rimlay, was the perfect couples getaway. The villa itself is super spacious with an open design and probably the most beautiful bathroom I’ve ever had in a hotel where you can shower with a view of the adjacent jungle. The decoration and art pieces are very well curated and make for a nice atmosphere. The patio is pretty big as well with a nice jacuzzi that offer plenty of room for two people. The whole complex is located on a hill, offering both views to the sea and to the mountains, depending on the room. All the villas are nicely spread out over the area so you get a sense of complete privacy in your room. Everything is natural yet elegant, so it feels like you’re wandering through a lush garden. There is also a beautiful shared pool and a gym (although that is not very well equipped). Bicycles are available for free and scooters can be booked via the hotel for 350 Baht/day. Apart from the hotel itself, service is impeccable as well. Staff was always available via WhatsApp chat whenever we needed anything and breakfast was served directly to the room. The dishes can be selected the day before from a variety of Thai and Western style meals. As it was my girlfriends birthday on our second day, I wanted to asked the staff for a small surprise for her but as it turned out they already prepared a customized cake for her out of their own initiative. There was also complimentary pick-up and drop-off to a location from and to locations of our choice, making our journey very smooth. As a bonus, there are also some friendly cats on the premises which visited us in our villa a couple of times. Overall the best hotel stay I ever had in Thailand. There were only some minor negatives. One is that there was a small millipede infestation, they could be seen all over the hotel premises and you had to be careful not to step on them sometimes. Luckily, we didn’t not have this issue in our room or on our patio. Also, while breakfast was decent, it was nothing outstanding like you might expect for the price of the hotel. Lastly, I would’ve appreciated some less harsh lights in the room for a more cozy atmosphere, but that was really not a big issue. Thanks again to all the staff for making our stay memorable, we had a great time and would gladly come back anytime.
Just a beautiful place to come back. Lovely people, great view, top villa honglek. All very helpful.
Very clean and services very nice
View and the location
This place was a relaxing and luxurious paradise! The staff is absolutely wonderful. The Railey Villa was amazing, you never want to leave the room. The delicious breakfast is served in your room. I loved practicing yoga in the dojo. Highly recommend.
My stay at SAMSAM was phenomenal. I was so impressed with the space, the greenery surrounding the area was so peaceful and the staff were only too happy to oblige any request I had. The food was delicious and the in-villa massage facilities were great. The knowledgeable staff organised everything I needed and I loved my private taxi tour as recommended by the team. Thank you so much!
Some of the other guests were a little inconsiderate and loud but otherwise, the stay was great.
A beautiful hotel, friendly stuff, great location
It's heaven on earth... Beautiful villas exceptional staff who catered to all our needs and extra requests.. suchs as cake for Birthday's and engagements and helped us arrange activities... and catered for my celiac wife. KYN is a beautiful relaxed island and Sam Sam in our opinion is the perfect place to enjoy it. The villas are exceptional, tasteful and artistic and the facilities are also exceptional. The nature that's surrounds you while you enjoy your stay in these beautiful villas is magical.. On one hand I hope this hotel gets the recognition it deserves but on the other I don't so I can keep it to myself.. It's a slice of heaven and we will treasure our stay for a lifetime... Well until we come back 😀
Nothing... It's heaven
A wonderful place to stay. Beautiful, friendly stuff, great location. A walking distance to Pasai Beach. Good restaurants near by, bars and everything a visitor needs. The hotel offers bikes, scooters, massages and good food. I hope to stay there again.
Wonderful hotel, very beautiful, perfectly located. The manager was fantastic to help us plan everything on the island.
This hotel was beautiful - very peaceful and laid back location, and the hotel itself was decorated to a very high standard. It felt luxurious - quiet, private, and totally exceeding our expectations!
There was nothing we didn't like!
Beautiful and secluded spot to relax and rejuvenate after 14 days in the Nepal Himalayas. A hidden gem where they catered to every need. Rooms and common areas were exquisite, beautifully decorated and the ultimate in comfort. The staff was very responsive and very helpful to arrange long boats, dinner reservations and more.
SamSam was a complete delight. A wonderful resort where attention to detail is a priority. The entire SamSam team was wonderful. Golf, the operations manager, was stellar. She ensured our every request was met in a kind and gracious manner - even driving to pick up our favorite Thai Iced Coffees so that we could enjoy them poolside. The resort is beautiful, the villas are well cared for and offer wonderful views. The private pool at the TreeHouse was a highlight. Highly recommend.
Beautiful small and exclusive resort in a perfect location. The villa Honglek was amazing with a wonderful private pool and the best views. Even without a private pool this place would be fantastic as the communal pool which was huge was rarely in use by other guests. Perfect location for getting to beaches and restaurants ( even on foot). We hired mopeds from the hotel and easily explored most of the island with very little traffic. The staff were amazing and organised our journey home leaving SamSam at 05.45 and arriving back in the UK at 8pm. I would highly recommend a private long tail from the pier rather than speedboat taxi - costs more but worth the experience. Great food, beautiful bird life and wonderful people - the Thailand of 20 years ago - unspoilt by mass tourism.
The Breakfast could have been better; lack of variety. No Fresh Orange Juice
We booked this villa as a bit of a wildcard as we really didn't know what to expect as there wasn't a huge amount of reviews but we were blown away. We went for a family celebration with six of us staying and having we stayed at the three bedroom tree house villa. The pictures online don't do it justice, it truly is a five star facility and a hidden gem. There are three separate rooms around the villa. The pool area is spacious and gorgeously designed. The decor is stunning with amazing artwork. The kitchen living area was beautiful with breathtaking views of the Andaman sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to create amazing moments such as providing a complimentary birthday cake. As other reviews have said there isn't an onsite evening restaurant but plenty nearby. The staff arranged all our trips, in villa massages and provided us scooters. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. It is paradise!
Best hotel we stayed at during our stay in Thailand! Beautifully built, the hotel is a safe haven surrounded by nature. Rooms and bathrooms are large, new and comfortable. Swimming pool is nice and not too crowded thanks to the perfect size of the hotel (not too big). The kindness of Golf, the receptionist, made our stay truely special. Can’t recommend this hotel more when staying at Kho Yao Noy. We will definitely come back!
Sehr ruhiges, wunderschönes Ressort - freundliches Personal - Wünsche u.a. nach frisch gepresstem Saft, Kakao wurden am nächsten Tag erfüllt. Am ersten Tag leider zahlreiches Ungeziefer bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit. Anderes Zimmer wurde angeboten wir haben jedoch die Chemiekeule bevorzugt. Danach war das Thema für die Dauer von einer Woche erledigt.
Very friendly and helpful team. Motorbike rental directly at the hotel. Nice and clean and very comfortable rooms. Snorkeling and boat tours can be booked at the hotel. Beautiful hotel garden with nice pool area.
Amazing property where all details are considered. Kind staff, good breakfast, perfect location. Good amenities and services. To be definitively recommended.
Fantastic place. This idyllic hotel is on a gorgeous Island where time slows, the sun shines, and the staff work hard to ensure you have the best stay. We loved the private boat trip, massages and the BBQ, which ended up feeding us for three meals.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Secluded in complete peace on the hillside of the island. You are surrounded by jungle and birds yet still close to the main road, restaurants and beach. An oasis with lovely pool, views, wellness spaces and breakfast. But most importantly the staff (especially the general manager sasha, nan and jiang) who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during all our stay.
Some rooms have better views than others, choose accordingly
The place (we rent a house with a private swimming pool) is just amazing: the view on the sea, the decoration with beautiful pieces of arts, the staff. If once in your life you would like to feel like a millionaire this is the place to go. Of course this place is not cheap but once in your life time why not.
If you are a party animal, this is not the place to be (even the island). This is more of an untouched island that you can visit in scooter or explore by boats your surroundings. Apart from the oustanding quality of the resort's restaurant, the rest of the island is pretty basic (but good)
Nice property, comfort room,, pool, tour and massage organized by Mr. Pooky, Mr. Pooky works very hard to make guests comfortable. Koh yao Noi is beautiful with friendly locals and nice restàurants
Leave Koh yao noi and come to Phuket
Fantastisk sted. Forvent meget ro. Perfekt til afslapning. Området omkring er meget roligt. Villaerne ligger højt, og flere med fantastisk udsigt. Godt udstyret villaer. Personalet er super venlige, og behjælpelig med ture, bestilling af båd og taxi for transport til og fra øen. Alt i alt et dejligt sted. Kan varmt anbefales Samsam.. 👍
Great location for ultimate relaxation
Nothing everything was great.
Lovely location, nice people, very spacious room, great pool and good breakfast.
We had a wonderfull stay at SamSam Restort and loved everything. The staff was very kind and Pooky helped us with everything we needed (boat, scooter, transport to and from hotel). The room was very clean, big and well decorated. We would definetely come back and can highly recommend staying here. Thanks again Pooky.
My partner and I had an amazing 6 day stay at Sam Sam. The resort is nestled on a hill in the most beautiful location and the architecture is stunning. Since there are limited villas and apartments it is very quiet and relaxing. Our room was very large with beautiful art and the team cleaned it every day at our preferred time. The breakfast each morning was lovely with a selection of local and American/European breakfast options. Pooky and the rest of the team at Sam Sam were available at all times to answer any of our questions including booking tours, navigating the area or questions about the villa. They always greeted us with a smile and we felt very taken care of the entire duration of the stay. The island itself was magical and we spent the majority of the trip exploring it via scooter. The food at the local restaurants was also exceptional and both the locals and expats living there were so friendly and welcoming. Overall, I think Sam Sam is a hidden gem and we definitely plan to stay there again on our next trip to the island. Highly, highly recommend!
Unfortunately the pool was under renovation due to refurbishment during our stay but to accommodate this they allowed us access to one of the villa pools which was just as large and accommodating.
We absolutely loved our stay. Staff were extremely helpful and messaged in advance to pick us up. They also organised a beautiful extra early breakfast for us. Place was clean and would definitely stay again.
Nothing I didn’t like. There was maintenance on pool that’s it.
