Det var rent och snyggt överallt. Men hela bygget luktar mögel/fukt som även satt kvar i handdukarna till stranden.Poolen mestadels i skuggan. Frukosten kunde varit lite bättre. Odrickbart kaffe och endast en sorts te och bara apelsinjuice. För övrigt mycket trevlig personal på dagen. Mindre trevligt på natten, då personal på plats inte kan hälsa eller ens ta blicken från sin mobil. Dåligt med butiker men gott om "vuxenmassage".

Träningsresa på egen hand

Har bott i samma hotell tre gånger innan. Mars är betydligt bättre än november då det är mindre turister. Bra läge med goda restauranger nära. Gångavstånd till en privat strand var det finns gratis solstolar och parasoll, dock inte samma utbud under november månad. Bra pool och wifi i hotellet. Gratis parkering på bottenvåningen. Frukost var bra under mars månad men inte under november månad. Vänlig personal. Inga safety box i rummet men det fanns en i receptionen. Närliggande gata är trafikerad. Bra att bo på 3-4 våning. Det finns ingen hiss. Tog trappor som träning. Prisvärd boende.

Trevlig vistelse på Koh Samui

Vi var tre personer som rest på egen hand i Thailand. Första intrycket av hotellet var bra, rent och välkomnande. Första frukosten var en besvikelse, men frukostarna blev betydligt bättre senare. Det var jättebra att hotellet hade en privat strand där hotellets gäster fick använda solstolar gratis. Hotellet var till stor del nyrenoverat, men vissa saker var inte utbytta, som t e x duschar och AC-anläggningar. Superbra annars! Vi hade en fin vistelse på Koh Samui och hotell First Residence.

Inte samma kvalitet som mars 18

Var i samma hotell mars 18 och då var det mycket bättre. Nu var rummet så smutsig att vi krävde ett nytt rum. Den nya var bättre men hade spindelnät i varje hörn. Frukosten var inte bra. Helt annan kvalitet än sist. Vi valde att inte äta något på flera gånger fast vi betalade för det. Privat strand inte heller samma som sist, ingen parasoll och mycket skräp på stranden som städades under vår sista dag. Bra med egen bilgarag. Bra service överlag. Väljer inte mera detta hotell.
