My family and I spent 4 days here and we all love it!!! When planing for the trip, I initially booked for a regular villa but got a call from the hotel the day of our arrival that the room was not available due to the broken down facility. And there came the good news! Our room was immediately upgraded... More

“Paradise on Samui”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

We recently spent five days at the W Koh Samui and didn't want to leave! We couldn't get enough of the villa and five star service. We were fortunate enough to be in an Ocean Front Haven and words can't describe the feeling of this villa. The indoor and outdoor spaces were both extremely roomy, well appointed and thought out...

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2013 via mobile

A superb afternoon with an ice cold bottle of Rosé and fresh sea food (trout) from the BBQ on a stretch of beach that I've known for more than 20-years. The team at W have done an excellent job with the redevelopment of this quiet corner of Samui and the service staff are extremely attentive :).
