Great location, our room was right on the beach. Overall, fairly clean. The bathroom had some ants and could have been a little cleaner but that was taken care of. Room was a bit small but a good deal for the price. Beautiful beach front. |
Getting reservations through Sawadee was very easy - thanks |

Hotel is really nice and has a good location but you should check in for the deluxe rooms. They are really nice and have a good view. Facility is so nice but can t tell the same about the room service and the restaurant. Room service is not working after 10pm and if you need anything you can t get it. Restaurant personnel is so kind but not taking care of customers sometimes because taking care of empty tables while you are sitting there and waiting for service. So weird really. You should call them to order something. Breakfast is average and till 10:00 am but there was a chart in the front of the restaurant and it was written there breakfast ends at 10:30. I was really so confused in the beginning coz we were going for the breakfast at 10:15 regarding to the chart and can t find anything to eat sometimes. But it was not a problem because I can get my breakfast anyway :) By the way, Rim talay restaurant is so expensive if you do a comparison with the other facilities restaurants. You can try to eat the restaurants at the other beaches. Obviously, I have to say that you can get bored after 1 week if you are used to go out at nights for pubs and clubs.
In conclusion, hotel is really nice but need some policy changes with the service policy.
I also want to say someting with the Samet Island. Island is really nice and quiet. You can rest very well. Not much noise makers around. Most of the restaurants are cheap really. And you should rent a motorbike or ATV for the transportation. Motorbikes are so cheap, ATV s are expensive bur safer. Because island s roads are in very bad condition to use a motorbike, especially after the rain.
There are few pharmacies and a small clinic but not enough for the population of the island and providing very limited service. Take care of yourself and try to not to get sick. Moreover, beware the mosquitos when you go out at nights.
If you are looking for a place which is romantic and exotic, Samet Island is the exact place.
I hope this comment will be helpful for the travellers think about to go to Samet. |
I did my booking over internet before 1 day I flied to Thailand and they really did a great job. Everything happened in the same day. Very quick response.
Thanks for your help for this great adventure.

We stayed in the deluxe cottage rooms, close to the pool. These rooms are much nicer then the ones facing the main beach.
They were very nice and clean and they were cleaned twice a day, which was a great service.
The rate was indeed very good - there was a renovation discount, but we were not at all disturbed by the ongoing building works.
Staff were very friendly and helpful to carry our loads of bags and also to give us lifts with their golf carts.
The bereakfast was very good.
To go here in the low season is a bargain!! |
We have used Sawasdee many times and always been happy with the service. This time we were a little worried about the availability of adjoining rooms, so we had a discussion with Sawasdee and the hotel about this. Sawasdee helped us to clarify things and we got exactly what we anted. |

We had a very nice Cottage de luxe at the other side not at the beach and with big stones not useful for swimming .The white sand beach is wonderful (a long way to walk) and we enjoyed a lot of.The breakfast was good .The organisation with the ship was perfect. We will return sure. |
Best comment -everything was perfect and they answerd about my questions . |

Saikaew Beach Resort is one of the best resort in Samed Island. Its peace and friendly environment made my holiday very special. |
Special thanks to K. Lek and Sawadee.com for helping me get the room in the last minute. Not only get me the nicest room to stay in but also exceeded my expectation. Thanks again.. |

Overall we are satisfied about the location and accommodation. But at first we were not happy, as the deluxe cottage is basic only, nothing deluxe (apart from the swing on the porch :)). We changed our cottage to a (requested) sea/beach view cottage, but that beach proved dangerous to swim in, because of rocks and black sea urchins. I was the only stupid farang to try to swim there, but came out quick with bruises and small wounds!!! Saikaew appeared to have another beach with white sand (only on 5 minutes walk or even quicker by golf-car), that proved to be nice. The water was not always clean however. But it was low season, the beach relatively quiet, the weather good, ....so no more complaints.
Personel at the resort was extremely service-minded and kind, showing the Thai-smile a lot. Breakfast was extremely good. I would not really advise to eat there for lunch or dinner, because the warm food was not special.
Koh Samed has several nice beaches and on Ao Wai I found even a nice snorkling beach to sea both colourful fish and coral.
For the rest the island has a lot of irritating pollution from tourist and locals. I never before saw such a lot of dirt and litter lying around in nature. And nobody cared!! Garbage bins are nowwhere to be found. It is really ashame how nature is ruiined by men. The Thai authority should do something about that. Also the number of motorcycles is irritating and polluting.
We hope to come back when when the island is cleaned up and improved it s basic infrastructure. But we also hope the accommadations stay small and tourism will not become a negative symptom. |
As usual excellent service. It could not be better and we ll surely hope to book again through sawadee.com. Thank you |

Spent a weekend with my wife and little daughter and we had a good time. I thought that I had booked a bungalow on the beach, which was not the case, but the bungalow was nice, the staff very very friendly. The beach and the sea were not as clean as one would expect, with plastic bottles, condom packets floating around. In one small beach attached to the resort, it was full of broken beer bottles, not the best for the feet of my daughter! Food was very okay. Overall, I would recommend the place. |
