AVANI Hotels & Resorts in Koh Samui Islands from NZ$280

"We had a wonderful time, it exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a garden villa and were happy with how private it was, especially as the surrounding villas weren’t occupied. We almost booked the ocean view villa but the garden villa has more privacy and actually we could still glimpse the ocean from sitting on our font deck. Food was good! A great buffet breakfast with A la carte options. There was a thai food restaurant across the road that we really liked to eat at as well. One thing to note is that the main pool is a beach club daily so has loud house music playing from noon until 7pm which can be heard throughout the entire hotel. There is a quieter pool that we could enjoy. Before the beach club music the hotel is very quiet and peaceful, we had the loveliest mornings and evenings relaxing by the ocean and swimming in the pool. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our 1 year old enjoyed playing with the toys in the kids club room as well. "

"Pool villa had comfortable room and spacious bathroom. Pool was decent sized and meticulously cleaned each day. Staff friendly and helpful. We walked from the hotel (taxis are easily available but tend to be off-meter), though there is one small part of road that floods easily - fine with sandals! "

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Melia Samui. The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous and the service was exceptional. We stayed in a Club Level Room and it was certainly worth the upgrade. The rooms were fantastic, great size and very comfortable beds and pillows. The rooms were on the ground floor so they had direct access to the wrap around pool that goes around the hotel. Great for an afternoon swim. We have to thank the staff at The Level as they really made our holiday special. They were all so lovely and welcoming, we didn't want to leave. Special shout outs go to Maya and her lovely team, Auong, Sky, Mamai, Dew, Keng, Queen, Seen and Lisa. They all looked after us at The Level. The breakfast at The Level was perfect, there was a lot of choice and was part ala carte. We tried the breakfast at the normal breakfast area which was also great but it felt more relaxing and special at The Level. The evening cocktails and canapes were also a bonus. We had great weather the whole time we were there so the sea was beautiful. The bay itself is beautiful although I thought it was a bit too crowded. Another special mention goes to Bauw who looked after us on the beach or around the pool. I would highly recommend this hotel. "

"Great place. Second time here. Wonderful staff and proximity to explore"

"The Hotel and food were great. Our ocean front one bedroom villa was outstanding with its own plunge pool. Worth the extra expense. Also the Thai Massage at the spa was outstanding. We highly recommend it. The beach fire walker show was very well done. Great place to catch some rest and downtime after travelling several destinations in Thailand. "

"Very cool and nice hotel"

"We cannot thank all of the lovely staff at Silavadee Resort enough for such a wonderful experience! Their professionalism, genuine warmth and kindness, attentiveness, and attention to detail truly stood out. The resort is beautifully maintained and a perfect tropical escape. We enjoyed a stunning private pool villa with, large deck and balcony overlooking the ocean. Villas are cleaned to the highest standard with towels and linens freshened every day and rooms thoughtfully prepared each night for a comfortable sleep. The beautiful little treats left on your bed at night are a welcome surprise too. A lovely selection of luxe toiletries is provided and topped up every day. There are a wide variety of fun activities on offer at the private beach (we really enjoyed our morning yoga, tai-chi, and pilates classes) and a good range of kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkels available too. In addition to the private pools, there are two big infinity pools with amazing views and pool bars, which make for a great day soaking up the sunshine. There are three great restaurants with fantastic views in the resort. We were spoilt for choice with our meals... Everything we tasted was absolutely fresh, delicious, and well-presented. A full buffet and a la carte breakfast was included with our stay. If you wish to explore beyond the resort, staff ensure transport is a breeze. If you're looking for amazing massages and a little pampering, you cannot miss the in-house spa. We will definitely return!"
