Excellent hotel if you’re looking to be a little outside the city for a peaceful jungle escape. Beautiful pool, great food, huge and gorgeous rooms, and excellent service.

We absolutely loved this place and the location. Gorgeous beach, smaller hotel, beautiful rooms with stunning views and some of the best service we’ve experienced.

I know what you’re thinking… the Four Seasons!? The Bangkok property is one of the best hotels in the world, and is just PRISTINE. Highly recommend staying here if you can. The rooms are much more affordable than other locations. The breakfast was insane. The restaurants are pricy but the food is just fantastic. The pools and amenities are stellar. And it’s right on the river and close to everything.

We did not stay here but it’s absolutely worth going to dinner or even just getting a drink at this gorgeous resort. It’s a stunning property and the food and drinks are phenomenal.
Beautiful, peaceful and vigorous hike that gets steep toward the top. The temple halfway up is beautiful and serene. At the top a bit more crowded with tourists but worth the trip!

We did a power boat day trip to Ang Thong Marine Park which is a must if you’re staying a few days in Koh Samui. The park is beautiful. This was organized thru our hotel and we only had about 15 people total on the boat. Definitely recommend that size or smaller for a better experience.
