Muang Samui Spa Resort

Lydia Eccleston

We’ve just come back from the best holiday in the world at this hotel. This was a dream holiday for me that I wanted to go for years so I researched so many hotels meticulously on the island and decided this one was perfect and I couldn’t have been more right. People said Chaweng was a party location but honestly for us this was the most amazing location - we even rented the car and drove the whole island and decided we liked Chaweng the best. Such a fun bustling vibe but also lovely beaches and authentic unlike some beaches that just felt like a resort anywhere in the world. The hotel has a gorgeous jungle vibe and feels so premium. I wanted luxury for my 30th birthday and that’s what we got. We got treated like royalty by the incredible staff who even decorated the room and gave me a cake on my birthday. They were so attentive. The hotel itself is stunning and the beach may be shallow but it’s the best views on the island. The restaurant was amazing, we loved the buffet breakfast and the bbq evening on the beach was like a dream, one of the best things we did! The room was perfect, so big and the jacuzzi bath was a beautiful end to our evenings. Loved the app they have too so you can communicate through that, see offers and alerts and book housekeeping. On our last day we used the spa, and wow!!! Best massage I’ve ever had and the views from the spa were stunning. We loved that we could use the kayak for free at the hotel too, that was so fun. We tried the free shuttle to the other sister hotel too to see the beach there but much preferred this hotel, the location and beach are nicer and felt more like a true Thai experience. Overall, could not recommend this hotel enough and we’ve made memories there that will last a lifetime.

A Beautiful Setting That Falls Short on Execution The hotel has an undeniable charm with lush tropical greenery, a stunning pool, and that paradise aesthetic you dream about when booking a trip to Samui. It drew us in on a previous visit and was the reason we chose to stay this time. Sadly, the experience didn’t quite live up to the promise. The rooms are spacious, which we appreciated, but they’re overdue for a serious renovation. Our balcony roof had visible holes, which isn’t what you expect at this price point. A word of warning if you’re visiting in January or February: high tide swallows most of the beach, which creates a real shortage of sun loungers. Competition for them was fierce and guests were reserving spots before sunrise, which made for a frustrating atmosphere first thing in the morning. The biggest disappointment was the restaurant, Anand. Breakfast was mediocre and service was inconsistent. On most mornings, no one bothered to ask if we wanted tea or coffee. The food was decent enough but nothing memorable. The bar was another letdown; cocktail prices were steep, and the only draft beer on offer was from a craft brewery that didn’t suit the setting and was extremely expensive by Thai standards. We had long looked forward to staying here, which made the experience all the more disappointing. It’s a hotel with real potential, but until the rooms are updated and the service and value improve, we won’t be rushing back on our next trip to Samui.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The room — Royal Suite with sea view — is beautiful! It was fantastic to have our own little outdoor area with a hot tub, and inside there is plenty of space and a large bathroom. The hotel grounds themselves feel like a peaceful oasis on Chaweng Beach. There are lots of trees, and it’s very green and lush. The pool and beach areas are nice. It may be unfair to compare, but we came straight from a similar hotel on Koh Phangan where everything truly deserved top marks from us. Compared to that, Muang Samui doesn’t quite reach the same level, even though there is not much to criticize about the hotel on Koh Samui either. The hotel is located right by the airport, which makes it easy to be woken up by aircraft noise if you are a light sleeper. In addition, many pigeons live on the roof above our room, and they also make noise from early morning. The doors between the bathroom and bedroom are not soundproof, so you should expect to be heard if the other person is indoors as well. Small details like these kept it from getting a top score this time, but we want to emphasize that we had a very pleasant stay and felt very welcome.

This was a true amazing experience! We were incredibly surprised by the room and surroundings. This place is by far more beautiful than the pictures show. The resort is like a small jungle, the room is very spacious, clean, incredible thailand design, with so many nice details. Great great location, restaurants and bar nearby, on walking distance, the area is so alive, but still the resort is so quiet.. If you walk on the beach on both directions, this resort is the most beautiful, with the most beautiful beach. We recommend from all our hearts this hidden jam🥰

We stayed at Muang for four days over the end-of-year period and absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff at both Muang and Babou were truly amazing, and we quickly bonded with the team, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The room was huge and beautifully decorated, and both the breakfast and the pool were excellent. While the Chaweng area is very busy and the beach is not the cleanest, we truly enjoyed relaxing by the pool and spending our evenings at Babou. Thank you for making our stay so special, we hope to be back again soon.
