Viva Vacation
Koh Samui
Recensioner
The hotel and staff were amazing, room was absolutely massive…gardens well maintained. The only downside for me was location…being solo traveller it was a long walk to anywhere to get food or have a beer…and it was low season so many places had closed..a great stay for couples or families tho…
Super friendly and helpful from the jump. Organised our airport transfers for us and it was charged with the overall bill. If you’re wanting a relaxing quiet time, this is the place for you. Highlight was the restaurant on the beach. Will stay here again 100%.
We enjoyed every moment of our stay at this beautiful and relaxing place. From the very first moment we were welcomed, we felt a sense of calmness and tranquility that seemed to extend to the other guests as well. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. They kindly helped us with all our questions and arrangements. The property consists of several bungalows surrounded by lush, well-maintained gardens. The bungalows are very spacious, well appointed, and clean. They are furnished in a traditional style, which adds to the overall exotic atmosphere. The bathtub was also a great addition. The buffet-style breakfast was abundant and offered many options to choose from, including a fruit bar and filtered coffee. Additional orders could be made for various egg dishes or waffles. In addition, the on-site restaurant, “Eat by the Sand,” was truly extraordinary, and we ended up dining there every day of our stay. The drinks were also excellent and reasonably priced. The hotel is located in a quiet area, close to a small wat (temple) and a charming village. It is about a 20-minute walk to various amenities such as a minimarket or a laundry service. At the hotel you can also borrow a bike free of charge or rent a scooter. The hotel faces a beautiful, calm, and walkable beach. However, the water is quite shallow and during our stay the sea was cloudy and a bit dirty. If you want to swim, the large and clean pool offers a better option—our daughter absolutely loved it. There are plenty of sun loungers both on the beach and by the pool. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel offering great value for money for families or anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay away from large resorts.
We enjoyed our 3-day stay with the family. The resort is very quiet, and the grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. A few lovely cats live on the property. The beach is calm and beautiful, with two great hammocks and enough sun loungers for guests. There is also a nice pool, a beach bar, and a restaurant. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. There are only 11 houses on the property, which adds to the private and quiet atmosphere. The staff are friendly, always smiling, and very welcoming. The villa was very spacious – we loved it. Bicycles are available free of charge. The closest 7/11 store is around 900 m away. You can order Grab food or use Grab for transport. Breakfast decent just takes some time as you have to fill the paper and wait for the main dish. On the downside, the property is old. Although it is clean, the shower and bathtub were not working properly. Hot water also kept disappearing during our stay, which was a big issue when traveling with a baby. The staff came and solved the problem quickly, but unfortunately, it kept repeating in the evenings. I also had one beer at the bar, and it was the most expensive beer we encountered during our 1-month trip in Thailand. Still, despite these small issues, we enjoyed our stay. If you’re looking for a spacious place for quiet holidays, this is a good choice. It feels like real, authentic Thailand.
We spent a total of 7 nights at this beautiful resort — we originally booked 4 nights but ended up extending our stay for another 3 because we loved it so much! The place is idyllic, peaceful, and surrounded by nature — the perfect spot to truly relax. We were traveling with our 7-month-old baby, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and caring — they made us feel completely at home. Everyone on the team was so kind, friendly, and genuinely warm-hearted. This resort is great for families with children as well as couples. Everything is very clean, and there’s a 7-Eleven just a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute bike ride away. The restaurant is fantastic — we ate there every day for both lunch and dinner because the food was simply delicious. The Pad Thai and Coconut Shake are absolute must-tries! The sunsets are breathtaking, and the whole atmosphere of the resort is calm and full of natural beauty. The value for money is excellent as well. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back again someday. Thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful stay! 🌴🌅
