I stayed next to the Swing bar and went a few times for caipirinhas. This bar is big but at the time I was there it was not crowded. Almost every day fire shows and sometimes fireworks too. One drink about 4€. Nice place to chillout after a hard day on the beach lol

Large beach lounge area with sunbeds and divans. reasonably priced cocktails and very friendly and efficient staff. Saturdays and Mondays have "human firework" fire show in the nights which is pretty impressive.

Thanks for taking the time to review our establishment. We are sorry if the burger and chips got cold half way through your meal. This is not an excuse but it was maybe one night when we were busy. Did you discuss the problem with the manager to resolve the problem? However, it is not correct to write ''from a... More

They have the best Fire Shows on Samui, the human firework is amazing! Always a good place to start the night before heading to the other bars.

After visiting different hotels in Krabi, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Samui I can certainly say that the Swing Bar Hotel in Koh Samui had by far the nicest rooms! Very comfortable bed, spacious rooms, and a nice bathroom with a real shower (rarely seen in Thailand) Only minus point would be its location at very touristic coast side +... More

I eat the garlic and pepper chicken on rice for just 80 baht and it taste very good... You can choose to sit at the table on the beach or in the restaurant. Swing Bar have free sun beds on the beach, free wifi and free parking.
