I really don't like giving negative reviews but this one is required to save others from making the same mistake.
The hotel did not tick any of the boxes that I feel are a must when spending well over $100 for a room in Thailand. The bathroom was not clean and the plumbing very suspect, with the handle nearly falling off every time you tried to flush. Water exceptionally brownish yellow, and while you will see this often in Thailand, can't recall THAT dirty of water.
Cleaning staff, while friendly, needs more workers. We expect a clean room after a day of sightseeing & being about. Seemed no longer how long we left the room, it was still not cleaned by the time we returned and more than once had to request a cleaning from front desk.
You can tell the grounds of the hotel were once beautiful but that was long ago and nobody has bothered to renovate for a couple decades.
It should be noted that our first 5 nights in Ko Samui were at a different hotel, one just a few blocks north and the SAME price. This hotel was amazing so coming to this place made it extra disappointing. (why did we change? Well, the other hotel was full on this busy week between Christmas and NYE)
