Good food
Pros:

We ate here lunch few times during our week holiday. We stayed near at the tui passage hotel, and walked here by the beachline. Lovely food, really good food. Really interesting eco decoration with wooden elements. Nice staff. Amazing pineapple rice, try it!

Overrated
Pros:

Very disappointed with the service. Uninterested staff with the men being very bossy towards other staff. Food and drinks were ok but wouldn’t go back given the unfriendly greeting and service. Also quite expensive for what it was. It’s a pass for me

Pros:

I highly recommend this property. It is a series of detached bungalows with a common area restaurant and pool area. Breakfast and food options are very good and delicious. Right in the north west coast of Samui with wonderful sunset views. I would like to stay here again.

Unique stay but too close to the road
Pros:

This hotel is very unique and the decor is amazing! The staff were brilliant, extremely helpful and could not do enough for us.

We stayed in one of the wooden pods close to the cafe and reception and the pod itself was incredible, we had ostriches under our cabin and lots of other animals close by.

However we were extremely close to the main road, which meant we were unable to sleep due to the noise of traffic until until 2am. Then when we did get to sleep, at 4:30am the birds were very loud and because of the type of cabin it is you literally cannot get any sleep.

The food was good, the pool was great and I imagine if you stay closer to the beach (which I requested when booking on booking.com) I imagine you would have a very pleasant stay. The pods closest to the pool area are mud huts so you wouldn’t hear anything throughout the night. I would 100% recommend not booking the wooden huts we had!

We enjoyed our stay and if we had been able to sleep then I would have given this a 5 star but we literally had about 4 hours sleep in a 2 night stay.

Pros:

Lovely place, next to a highway so the rooms on that side are quite loud and the roosters are an acquired taste

Beautiful and comfortable hotel
Pros:

Authentic hotel with beautiful and very comfortable rooms.
The bedrooms are very spacious and king-size beds who are very comfortable.
I really loved the place and their sustainable footprint, like your coffee, which you have to grind yourself.
The rooms, beach and pool are not very accessible if you have small kids.

Best value lunch of our trip and one of the best full stop.
Pros:

We stopped here for lunch and a nose after reading a review in the independent this week. We ordered the morning glory and red curry to share. Very authentic and delicious - fully spiced to Thai levels (rather than western hotels). And only came to 645 baht with two beers and a non alcoholic drink. Absolutely worth a visit. Delicious. Thank you.

Pros:

The hut and bathroom were spacious. The hut comes with it's own seating area and hammock, mosquito net and air conditioning.
There is a pool, but there are steps to the ocean directly as well.
The food in the restaurant is delicious and the options for breakfast are quite varied.
As the huts are set against the side of a hill part of the main path is a bit steep.
I have read comments about roosters, and I have seen them on the premise, but I never heard them when I was inside my hut or sat in front of it.

The Mud, great eco resort - mae nam
Pros:

Great traditional eco homes with amazing atmosphere and lovely staff. Mae nam is a little out the way so you need to rely on taxis or hire a car. Amazing eco farm on site. Beach is lovely in the mornings but the tide is out most of the day from about 2pm. Nice cool pool to dip in. Very peaceful. Live musicians most evenings. Really nice vibe. Perfect if you want to split a couple of weeks & spend a week or so here before heading to sonewhere a bit more commercial & lively like chaweng. Great value for money.

Pros:

The only reason we’d rate this place 2/5 are due to the chickens that start roaring at 4-5am in the morning NON-STOP. We stayed in the treehouse E1, which is right above the ostriches and greenhouses, which I believe have some chickens and roosters in there. They start crying around 4am and by 5am they’re non-stop cuckoo dooing like puppies in a locked cage crying to be let out. It’s really disturbing and loud, it goes on until noon and you don’t get a restful sleep. We’re also right next to the highway so the car sounds are also pretty loud during the day; quiet at night. Such a shame because it’s a such a cute little treehouse, with a small far and beautiful cafe and restaurant. They provide toothbrushes, towels, umbrella, everything which is nice. But thank god we only stayed 2 nights, the chickens were just unbearable.

The treehouse is not bug proof. There is A/C but lots of gaps on the floors and around doors. So you really need to use the mosquito net when you sleep: My other minor complaint is that it’s literally a lock and key, kinda annoying. And lastly, you will need to rent a motorbike, nothing not even the atm/money exchange is within walkable distance. The staff are nice and they have such cute uniforms. Restaurant food is limited but the ambience is very nice. Breakfast also quite limited.

Pros:

We stayed here one night because we were taking a ferry from nearby pier. It was perfect for this. Pool is cute and refreshing. Beach not really useable for sunbathing or swimming but excellent for strolling and exploring. Water is shallow very far out. Restaurant food is good. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. The area lacks much in walking distance. Not a lot of grocery stalls or restaurants but it is a fishing cove not a beach resort area so that’s to be expected. Fun to visit. It’s quiet and reserved on this side of island.
