Pros:

Der Strand ist sauber und sehr schön.
Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier richtig. Supermarkt und Restaurants sind zwar fußläufig erreichbar, aber man braucht ca. 30 Minuten.
Das Hotel ist sauber und das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und nett.
Allerdings ist das Hotel schon sehr abgewohnt.
Möbel haben deutliche Gebrauchsspuren, Liegen am Strand müssen dringend erneuert werden.
Klimaanlage teils laut und oft unangenehmer Geruch aus der Lüftung

Pros:

We stayed in Villa 4, one of the 3 bedroom villas.
Spacious rooms and great patio area with lovely private pool.
The rooms and pool were cleaned regularly, and towels changed as well. Every day, we got given 4 bottles of water and more coffee capsules and tea bags.
The location was really good as the hotel was on the beach which was very quiet.
5 stars definitely go to the restaurant/bar staff - incredibly professional and friendly. They were always happy to help and were great when dealing with my food allergy - gluten.
Everyone at the hotel acted in a professional manner, nothing we asked for was ever a problem.
A great holiday!

We loved this place
Pros:

We loved our time here. The Sea Samui is located in a quieter part of Koh Samui, about 20m drive from markets and other attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are really fantastic. We made friends with all of the staff, especially A, A and Om who who always greeted us with a smile. Their restaurant served great food and is located right on the beach with incredible views of the other islands.

An amazing hotel
Pros:

The hotel is amazing, the staff are amazing, the food is amazing, great breakfasts and food off the menu and the location is wonderful, if you want to switch off this is the place to go. The solitude really helps you unwind and focus on what really matters. If you want hustle and bustle the fishermans village is 15mins away by taxi and the hotel can arrange that for you also. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay one of our greatest holidays ever.

Awesome stay
Pros:

Thank you for the most amazing stay at your hotel. Everything was perfect, clean rooms, great breakfast and very friendly staff. Awesome location on the island for a good break. We will definitely be back. To be so close to a pristine beach was an absolute joy.

Nice stay away from the crowds
Pros:

The Sea Koh Samui is a nice hotel. We had the Ocean Suite with 2 Bedrooms. It was very big and the beds were very comfortable.
The hotel is a bit out of the way, but very quiet. However, the hotel was always very quick to arrange transportation. The staff were always very nice and courteous.
The beach was nice but could be a bit bigger, but you can get to other beaches in 10 minutes.
Breakfast was great too.
Since I traveled with children, I would possibly choose a hotel that is a bit more in the center next time. But our stay was still very nice. Many thanks for everything.

Great place
Pros:

Great hotel, I had a fantastic 2 bedroom suite with ocean view, would have been ideal for a family. Great staff and set on stunning beach. You have got local restaurents, massage places, bars, small super market in walking distance plus a great local laundry.

The only thing that lets the hotel down is the gym, which is so old and poorly maintained its a accident waiting to happen.

Hoping to visit again next year and hopefully gym will be sorted by then.

Not as described
Pros:

I have been reading reviews for this hotel prior to booking as we all do and based on that I thought it s worth a shot .I tried to understand why this resort has so many positive reviews but I really cannot. I haven't seen a resort/hotel like this one in a very long time and I wasn't really expecting this .It wasn't my first time in Koh Samui either and we do travel often.Photos are either photo shopped or taken 15 yrs ago.
We ve paid extra for the pool suite but had to change the room as apart from everything being filthy( mattress bed sheets stained slippers worn dirty )the room was covered in mould .The state of the new room not great either and it smelled like urine.
Even dough we ve paid for 12 nights we only stayed 3 as we had to look for different hotel.Very expensive for what it offers not enough chaiselongs beach dependant on tide food not great either .
Everything needs updating and properly cleaned at least or if not charge less .Save your money and stay somewhere else.
Positive :SOME of the employees were nice and helpful.

A Wonderful Spot to Escape
Pros:

The Sea is a welcome respite from the throngs of people on other parts of Samui. The beach is quiet and gorgeous, the vibe calm, and the resort staff are incredibly accommodating. We loved our one-bedroom suite. Yes, the resort is not brand-new and there area some signs of wear here and there, but that didn't bother us at all. The beach is excellent, the breakfast wonderful, and the pool area relaxing. Most importantly, this resort is removed from the insanity and hustle of Chaweng and Fisherman's Village. There are a few things within walking distance-- a great massage place, some restaurants, and a convenience store-- but otherwise you're more isolated. But with that isolation comes beauty and relaxation. A final shoutout to the team at The Sea-- they were so kind and so helpful. When our bathtub jets weren't working properly, they came in and fixed it very quickly (and I would hardly call that an emergency). I highly recommend.

Pros:

Incredible resort in a quiet part of koh Samui. Beach is pristine and facilities are all fantastic, they provided us an upgrade to a villa and we were absolutely blown away! Poom was especially accommodating at the front desk and made sure we were well taken care of.

New Family Favourite
Pros:

Overall the Sea Koh Samui exceeded all expectations

We splashed out of the 3 bed room Ocean villa, Wow this is more than a villa, it felt like a private compound. Very large villa with
Ain room, kitchen and lounge, then an extra building attached with upstairs and down stairs. Each room is fully self contained. Location is perfect, right next to the main restaurant, bar and beach front.

The staff are outstanding, so friendly, so accommodating- they truly make you feel at home.

Our family loved the location - quiet northern end of Koh Samui with a lovely beach, clean water and plenty of restaurants and bars in close walking distance. Still close to fisherman’s village, but far enough away from the craziness of Koh samui.

Food and beverage offering was above what I was thinking would offer. Room service menu is substantial and love breakfast spot right on the beach.

Overall we loved the hotel, yes it’s starting to look a little tired but this luxurious and set at the right price. I would def recommend this lovely property

Outdatet
Pros:

To be honest, I am disappointed. It does not in any way resemble the pictures in the advertisement on your website. The kids are almost stepping through the outdoor floorboards, and the pools look dirty. The tiles in the Pool is loose. Parts of the shower doesn’t work. We are paying good money to stay here and expect the advertisement to match reality. This place was once, perhaps 10 years ago, a luxurious destination with high standards, but it has suffered from a lack of upgrades and has therefore become worn and outdated.

Pros:

Séjour convenable. Personnel très sympathique, mais l’entretien général laisse à désirer, de même concernant l’hygiène et la propreté. Dommage compte tenu de l’emplacement et de ce qu’était sûrement cet établissement à l’origine. Petit déjeuner banal.

Great staff and nice hotel
Pros:

We had a great 2 night stay at this hotel. It's located on a beautiful beach which overlooks Koh Phangan and Ang Thong Marine park. We could even see our home island of Koh Tao as it was clear skies.

Our room (plunge pool room) was very spacious and comfortable, although definitely needed redecorating and is a bit older than another Tolani we have stayed at. But it has a kettle and coffee machine, robes, slippers, umbrellas, black out curtains, TV, bath with jets (good hot water, just slow to run the bath) & large shower, with lots of free toiletries.

Staff are super helpful and friendly and very attentive, even came to our car with umbrellas when we arrived at night in the rain.

The buffet breakfast was very substantial with a variety of stations providing croissants, pastries, jams, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, potatoes, cheese, cold cut meats, salad, cereals, yoghurts, fruit, dried fruits, rice, noodles, thai dishes and thai soups. As well as a good coffee machine and selection of teas, cow's milk and fruits juices.

Good location for us as we had a car, but there are not many parking spaces, so notify them if bringing a car. A little far from Chaweng or Fisherman's if thats what you want for night life, but if you want a nice peaceful beach holiday, highly recommend this area.

A Culinary delight
Pros:

I recently had the pleasure of lunch at Love is in the sea restaurant, I enjoyed a delightful Pad Thai. The dish was exceptionally tasty, showcasing authentic flavors that left a lasting impression.In addition, I would highly recommend trying their seafood pizza, which was a standout. The service at Khun Tang was truly remarkable, contributing to an overall wonderful dining experience. I look forward to returning in the future!
