Celes Samui

David Haas

Overall, a mixed stay and for me closer to 3/5. I stayed in a Tropical Villa and my mother in a Tropical Deluxe. Both rooms were very spacious, clean and in good condition, and the hotel grounds and pool are nicely maintained. The biggest negative was the bed. The mattress was very hard, and the added topper did not help much. The air conditioning also blows directly onto the bed and is not especially quiet. Water pressure in the villa was weak, and the Tropical Deluxe had enough street noise that my mother needed earplugs. Staff were generally friendly, housekeeping was good and reception helpful. However, some things felt overly rigid or only partly thought through. For example, we were not allowed to sit at the empty restaurant tables late in the evening to eat fruit from the market because outside food was not permitted. Breakfast had some good parts: the omelette station, noodle soup, fruit and salad were very nice. The pastries were poor. What was also annoying was that at 10:00 sharp they started removing the entire buffet very quickly, even while many guests were still eating, so breakfast often felt unnecessarily rushed. At checkout, the hotel kindly arranged a room for us to shower because late checkout was not possible. That was appreciated, but the organisation was not ideal: the golf cart was not ready and my wife, mother and I were all given the same room to shower in. The beach is okay but not particularly idyllic. The sand is quite coarse, the beach gets narrow at high tide, and at low tide the seabed can feel slimy. Fisherman’s Village is about a 15–20 minute walk along the beach, and there are two 7-Elevens near Lobby 1. Value was average. We paid around CHF 87 for the Tropical Deluxe and CHF 135 for the Tropical Villa. Overall, Celes Samui is clean, spacious and visually pleasant, with friendly staff, but too many parts of the stay felt slightly rigid, rushed or not fully thought through. I would probably try another hotel next time.

We’ve had an amazing stay at Celes Samui! The rooms, amenities, and service have all been exceptional, but what truly stands out is the kindness and warmth of the staff. A special shout-out to Kae, who was absolutely wonderful and always gave us the best recommendations during our meals. Her friendliness and genuine care made our experience even more special. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable.

The hotel is absolutely worth its price. I booked a room on the second floor of a little villa. It’s spacious and tidy for a couple of 2 (actually I think the space is enough for a family of 3). The breakfast serves various types of food, but a little drawback is that limited choices are for Asian tastes. Nune and Pan are super helpful and carefully during my 2 meals in the restaurant of the hotel, definitely recommend you having a nice dinner here, especially in the open air if the weather is suitable.

We stayed in a pool access room, and it exceeded all our expectations. The room was absolutely amazing in every way—spacious, beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. The private pool was fantastic, and one of the best features was the direct private access from our terrace to the beach. The beach was quiet, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. It's worth mentioning that the photos of the pool rooms don't do them justice. They are far more beautiful and impressive in real life. The hotel staff were exceptional—always friendly, smiling, and happy to help. Every request we made was handled within just a few minutes. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. Just a short walk from the hotel, there are many great restaurants offering delicious food at very reasonable prices. You'll also find two large 7-Eleven stores directly across the street from each other, which is very convenient. Overall, this hotel offers outstanding value for money. We had a wonderful stay, and we will definitely choose this hotel again when we return to Koh Samui. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Celes Samui with our family. The hotel is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained. We stayed in the beachfront pool villa. The room was spacious, luxurious, and had an amazing sea view that made every morning special. The facilities are excellent, with a lovely pool, direct beach access, fitness room and a relaxing atmosphere throughout the resort. We also really enjoyed the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was always attentive and friendly. What impressed us the most, however, was the way the hotel management handled an issue we experienced during our stay. Although the situation itself was unfortunate, the manager listened carefully, communicated openly and professionally, and made every effort to resolve it in a fair and customer-focused manner. That level of genuine care and service deserves recognition. Overall, we leave Celes Samui with very positive memories and would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and high-quality stay on Koh Samui. We hope to return in the future.
