The Episode Boutique Hotel is brilliant. We stayed one night as a stop before getting a flight out of Surat Thani and honestly wish we would have had a few more nights there. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and well designed. The staff at the property were very friendly and welcoming. Theres a cafe/restaurant linked the hotel where we had lunch and dinner (BBQ) and both were delicious and good value for money. We highly recommend staying here if you’re in Surat Thani

From the moment we arrived at Moorea, we were blown away by the beauty and attention to detail in every corner of the resort. Stacy, the incredible designer behind it all, has created something truly special—from the stylish furniture to the charming details like doorknobs, everything feels thoughtfully curated and full of character. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it hard to leave them in the morning—but the amazing breakfast made it worth it! The food throughout our stay was fantastic, and we especially loved sipping on delicious cocktails by the pool, soaking up the relaxing vibes. What truly made our stay unforgettable, though, was the wonderful team behind the resort. The owners and staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and by the end of our trip, we felt like we had made new friends. Their kindness and genuine hospitality made all the difference. We loved every bit of our stay and wouldn’t change a thing. If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and friendly place to stay on Koh Samui, Moorea is it. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

Everything about this property was five star. From the service, to the food. The room itself was super clean and the decor was amazing. We ordered a floating breakfast for the morning which was delicious and we also ate at the restaurant which again, was delicious! The staff were very attentive and polite, which made our stay even better. My only regret is not booking a longer stay! It was worth the price.

This hotel is fantastic. I have read many average reviews before going there and was prepared for some inconvenience but surprisingly everything went great, way beyond my expectations. First, even if one staff member doesn't speak English, there is always someone near who does. Breakfast was good (I ordered eggs benedict. Come one, who wrote the review that they have only Thai food! Nonsense). In the dinner menu you will also find both Thai and western options like grilled salmon or pork chop. They are not that expensive. Let's remember folks where are we staying. It is a floating hotel! You won't get food for the price of a skewer from the Thai night market obviously. Worth to consider buying a voucher (sold either on the pier or in the restaurant) i.e. buy for 2000TH, you'll get 2500THB to use in a hotel restaurant and some activities (sorry don't remember which ones, used that for drinks haha!). You also get 30mins per person free wifi, which is possible to pause and not use in one shot. I haven't used it and enjoyed the scenery around me though. And this is why we are coming there, aren't we? The amazing views and closeness to nature. You can enjoy free kayaking, swimming pool in the lake (how crazy is that?!), and of course the lake itself. Hotel offers you to take private boat from them (4000THB both ways). Take it! My wife was hesitant, if there is a chance to stop for the toilet during the tour. There is! Just ask the guys on the pier and speak with the boat driver. In the middle of the journey there is rangers station (Nang Prai Raft House on google maps). No problem to stop there, no extra payment. Nice people everywhere. Boat from the hotel takes you on the way there to the most beautiful places of the park. It's basically a tour. We got there from Krabi (paid 2500THB for old smelly corolla taxi) and went after to Phuket (3000THB for clean Iveco SUV).

This hotel is absolutely amazing and has an incredible service level. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. Everything was coordinated and it was very well done by every detail in the room and around the hotel. The area is beautiful and it’s very easy to go there with their shuttle service from Koh Samui. We tried their spa on our first day. Had the sports massage and it was perfect to loosing up tension after a long trip and to get relaxed for the stay. After the massage we enjoyed some tea in the beautiful surroundings with the stunning view. We also tried their cooking class and their chef was really good at explaining all the details about the food and giving us great tips. Really loved it! Can highly recommended you try it if you want to know more about Thai cuisine. The gym is really good and big for a hotel gym. Has great equipment and a beautiful view inside the jungle. The hotel is near a beach with lovely restaurants and shops which was perfect if you wanted to see something else during the day. The island itself has many opportunities to explore so this hotel was absolutely perfect to come back to after day trips. This hotel would be the ideal honeymoon hotel or a spa getaway. I truly understand why this hotel has won so many awards because they surely know how to deliver. I would definitely want to go back and visit some day.

Hotel is located near Haad Rin Beach where Full Moon parties occur. There are shops, restaurants and other amenities nearby. Hotel was great, staff was helpful with information and also helped us with our baggage. Room was big enough for us, AC was working, there was also a fridge in the room. There is also a pool which we only used once. We walked to Leela Beach (totally recommend!) and Sunset Beach. We arrived from Koh Samui to Haad Rin Pier and walked easily to the hotel. A lovely lady working at the reception helped us book a transportation from the hotel to Thong Sala Pier and then to Surat Thani Train Station.

The last time I stayed at this hotel was in 2017. Since then, the hotel has improved significantly. Both the rooms and the pool area have become very beautiful. There's nothing to complain about when it comes to the hotel's location, right in the busiest part of Chaweng. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean. Spending time by the pool during the day is a lot of fun. All the staff members are very friendly and attentive. The beach parties in the evenings create an incredible atmosphere. Whenever I come to Koh Samui, I always stay at this hotel, and I have never been disappointed.

Thank you to all the staff at Nova Samui and we wish you all the best for the future. Love Owen and Jayne

If you are looking for a place to stay in Koh Samui, you should definitely choose this place. You feel very special every moment you stay here. Tropical fruits renewed every day, preparation of the room for sleep at night, tastefully furnished rooms, a perfect pool and garden will make you feel like you are in heaven. Additionally, you can eat very nice food in their restaurants.

We had an extraordinary stay at Villa Samayra - truly the No.1 luxury villa experience in Koh Samui. The property is stunning, with uninterrupted sea views and a peaceful ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. The rooms were immaculate, spacious, and beautifully maintained. A special mention to Yanisa and Palm, who were exceptional throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and proactive service made everything seamless. Every request was taken care of even before we asked. The food deserves its own praise- the chef’s dishes were remarkable, turning each meal into a five-star dining experience. Overall, Villa Samayra exceeded every expectation. Highly recommended for families or groups looking for world-class comfort, privacy, and unmatched luxury in Koh Samui.

We came here to have a relaxing week during National Week in October. My husband and daughter had some of the best scuba diving experiences and they would definitely love to go back and do more dives (yet there are so many other places to go and see....). We stayed in the southeast for the first part of the trip, and found that to be a bit secluded - great resort, but a little too isolated and cut off for us overall. The second half we stayed in Sairee Beach area and it was amazing! So much going on and great restaurants and sunset views at your fingertips. We had wanted to rent scooters to explore the island more, but after seeing the condition of the roads (very steep and sharp turns), and so many people with "Thailand tattoos" from road rash, we decided against it, so we didn't get to see as much as we'd hoped. Maybe next time....

Easily accessible, used Grab, taxi service to get around, reliable. Walked along the beach but you can only go so far as you then have to walk through the water which is waist deep. You can walk along the road. Nice restaurant called The Cliff if you want to treat yourself. Did 3 trips, the first was the island tour which visits temples, look out and waterfall. Second tour was to the elephant Haven, this was amazing, very sad when you hear the stories of how the elephants ended up there after being rescued. They do a great job. Third trip was to Pig Island and snorkeling. Pig Island was 1 hour which I thought was a bit too long, maybe just half an hour should be allocated. Snorkelling was great and the lunch which was included was beautiful.

We went to visit a friend who recently moved there. It is not really a tourist town. We went to the Mangrove Forest and it was run down and unimpressive. The Saturday Market was underwhelming. The highlight was the view from "the hill". Surat Thani is what it is... a large city that gives you access to Koh Samui and a city for locals.

Haad Rin is a beautiful beach with plenty of bars and restaurants lining the shore and lots of shops, restaurants around the strip. During Full Moon week, the atmosphere gets wild—every venue competes with fire shows and loud music, creating a chaotic but energetic vibe. I imagine the off-season must be much more relaxing, though I haven’t experienced it myself. Personally, I found the Full Moon Party a bit disappointing, though that might be due to my expectations. I'm 40+, and I was hoping for a more organized event with better music and a diverse crowd—people of all ages from different parts of the world. Instead, it felt more like a chaotic gathering of mostly very young partygoers (early 20s), primarily from England, Germany, and Denmark, whose main focus seemed to be drinking and drugs. In November 2025, the original party was canceled due to the passing of the King’s mother, so I can’t speak to the usual experience.

I choose to stay in Bann Tai for its central location. There are much nicer locations on the island to stay, however if you are like me, and like to explore, then this location is best as its in the middle of the coast line, and its close to central heart road ways that take you to any part of the island quickly.

The night life - bars, cafés, markets, and I enjoyed getting a massage after all the walking around. There are many massage parlors and massages are so affordable here. Also, the service at the massage parlors is very good.
