AVANI Samui

Elliott Griffin

This is a wonderful location, it was perfect for the stage my family including my wife and three teenage children were at in our holiday . We had enjoyed activity filled time in Bangkok and Chiang Mai and we were ready for relaxation. The standout of course are the staff just like most Thai people but these people like R, Diggy, Rain and others (sorry I can’t remember all their names were exceptional). It is a small complex but perfectly sized for the number of guests and the two pool areas provide privacy and luxury which you would normally only get with your own villa. The food menu is excellent and all the food we all ate was delicious and well presented. I’m sure I could say more but want to show my appreciation.

A Truly Memorable Stay at Avani+ Samui My wife and I stayed at Avani+ Samui Resort from August 19–22, 2026, and our experience here has been truly wonderful and memorable. One of the highlights of our stay was a very special dinner at the resort. From the moment we arrived, every member of the hotel team made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. I would especially like to express my sincere appreciation to Ar, Nanny, Nana, and Plam, who took wonderful care of us during dinner. Their service was exceptional — warm, attentive, friendly, and professional. They also prepared a lovely birthday surprise for my wife, which made our evening even more special and unforgettable. I would also like to thank the housekeeping and room preparation team for arranging another beautiful birthday surprise in our room. My wife was genuinely excited and delighted when she saw it. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed how much attention the hotel puts into creating special moments for its guests. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Avani+ Samui Resort for making our stay and my wife's birthday celebration so memorable. The hospitality, thoughtful service, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We are extremely satisfied with our stay. This is truly a wonderful place to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time together. Thank you, Avani+ Samui, for giving us such a special experience. We will definitely come back again whenever we visit Koh Samui! :)

We had a pleasant stay at Avani+ Samui Resort, and the true highlight of this hotel was definitely the staff. Every single person we interacted with was kind, welcoming, caring, and genuinely amazing. They really elevated the entire experience and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. The room itself was beautiful, modern, and comfortable, with great amenities around the property. Since we stayed for 5 nights and unfortunately had rain almost nonstop for 4 of those days, we ended up spending a lot of time enjoying the pool, gym, and the pool/ping pong tables, which helped keep us entertained. That said, there are definitely areas that need improvement, especially for a hotel that markets itself as a 5-star resort. The shower pressure was inconsistent and quite weak, making it difficult to properly wash shampoo and conditioner out of our hair. The fixed shower head was also leaking and spraying water everywhere, so we mostly relied on the detachable shower head instead. The biggest disappointment was the food. We would strongly recommend skipping the breakfast, as it was very underwhelming the few times we tried it. The hotel restaurant in general was overpriced and unfortunately the food quality did not match the prices ( a bad cold cheeseburger and club sandwich were 1000 THB). After our first few meals, we ended up eating elsewhere for the rest of the trip. Do yourself a favor and drive 10–20 minutes to enjoy amazing local restaurants with far better food and prices. Overall, this felt more like a solid 4-star hotel rather than a true 5-star experience, but the exceptional staff really made the stay worthwhile.

Our stay at this small vacation resort was arranged by a travel agency that put together a custom vacation for us. It turned out to be an excellent choice. We stayed in two villas with private pools. Even though the weather forecast isn’t usually ideal for this time of year, Koh Samui—and especially the southern part of the island—is a welcome exception. The weather couldn’t have been better: mostly sunny, with pleasant temperatures of around 30 °C. The attentive and friendly staff looked after us throughout our stay. The spacious rooms were kept spotlessly clean, as was the pool, and the regular menu was complemented by themed evenings such as BBQ nights and steak nights. I don’t know if it was because it was the off-season, but even though we occasionally met other hotel guests, most of the time it felt as if the staff was there just for us. It’s also great that breakfast is served from 6:30 a.m. It gets light very early here, and despite our packed schedule, we always had enough time to enjoy a relaxed breakfast before heading out on our early morning excursions. The food at the hotel was excellent, and although there were the occasional minor imperfections, nothing was significant enough to detract from our stay. After twelve wonderful days on Koh Samui, we’re leaving a place that has truly found a special place in our hearts, and we sincerely hope we’ll have the opportunity to return someday.

Was all very good except the location. Hard to walk anywhere and is a 7/11 like a 20-30 minute walk away id say other than that the actual hotel was lovely. Brilliant rooms and the swimming pool and the bar were lovely. Great views over the south sea. The room villa was seriously amazing though and everyone was really nice
