Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
Not recommended at all. Room and bathroom not very clean - hygiene not a priority for this resort.
Staff at restaurant very friendly, and hte food good.
Staff at reception friendly however the manager has no authority. The manager need to be trained on how to handle visitors outside of Thaialnd as we do not accept. Very unprofessional not have straight answers. |
Excellent as always! Thank You. |

Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
It is a nice resort and we enjoyed our stay very much! The private beach was beautiful and the gardens and the pool area were both nice.
A couple of things to think about, though:
- If you are staying in the deluxe area, be aware that for the same price to can get very different types of location of your accomodation. Separate bungalows and two room bungalows with a great location near the pool go for the same price and under the same deal as not so great rooms with views towards a brick wall. The standard inside is good in both cases, however. We were able to switch rooms when we got there, but if we go there again we ll try to be more specific about what we want.
- There is a lot of construction going on, and you have to pass this area going from the deluxe area to White Sand. We didn t mind, but it might be good to know.
- There is a short distance to walk from the deluxe area to White Sand - which is where all the restaurants (including the resort breakfast) are. The restaurant on the smaller beach was unfortunately not open when we were there. Likewise, if you live in the superior area there will be a short walk to reach the pool area. |
Efficient, quick and useful. Perhaps you could update some of your accommodation information regarding types of rooms etc. That information is not always in unison with hotels own webpages, so we often go there first to compare and double-check. |

1.We stayed in the Superior Room 221. The size of room was small. We expected bigger for the price. Clean.
2. There was a lack of the personal touch for the room and by the reception staff. Only the restaurant staff were warm and friendly.Food was good.
3. The bathroom was big but the shower area so tiny. The shower curtain had fungus on it and though I asked for it to be changed repeatedly it was not changed. The drain in the shower area was not clean and unpleasant looking. I think it needed to be tiled properly. The rest of the bathroom had a blue paint on the floor. It would feel better if the floor was tiled with stone/tile. For the price we paid I would expect better facilities. The pictures show a swanky place. There was only one towel rod in the bathroom. Nothing for swimming costumes to hang dry.
3. The room was located behind the kitchen and the view was only out of the front window. In a beach place I would expect windows on both sides and a better ventilation in the room. The landscaping around the rooms was basic.
3. From what I could tell the deluxe rooms were much better and the landscaping around it were better too.
4. The beach in front of the hotel was nice and clean. Hotel is located in the better part of this beach. (quieter too)
5. The hotel has engaged Jimmy tours for excursions around Koh Samet. We booked with them to go out but last min they canceled saying they did not have enough people to go. (min 12) But we were not told ahead of time that once they sign and give me a slip of the same, they could cancel. Disappointing.. and not professional behavior.
Hope this helps .. |
Efficient and fine. |

I expected more from the hotel. The room is ok, the breakfast is poor and the food isn t very good. The pool was out of order (weekend) and, if you are looking for an isolated beach, definitely there isn t the place. |
Thank you for reply immediately. good service. |

We stayed in a de lux cottage . The cottage was fresh and clean but need more space to keep wet towels and swimsuits as the porch outside was right under a bird tree - dirty furniture. The pool area need to be cleaned up more often. Nice friendly staff. |
Everything worked ok! |
