We stayed for 5 nights in december. The hotel is of the excellent standard you would expect and the staff professional and friendly. I liked the fact that the hotel is not tiny but not very big so doesnt seem impersonal. There is a local restaurant next door which is worth a try and very reasonable plus within 10 mins walk there is fishermans village so lots of choice. Nice little touches like you can hire a dvd from reception for free when you want a quiet night in, and a lovely cuddly monkey to bring home. Having toured the island in a car, Bo phut in my view is probably the best place to stay on the island as its relatively quiet but enough things to do to keep you occupied. Avoid Chaweng at any cost unless you are less than 25 and want to party everyday!

We wanted to stay in a quite and comfortable place, where we could spend several days just to relax. After I did the analyse of the beaches and hotels on Koh Samui I decided to stay in BoPhut resort and spa.
The hotel's area is very beautiful and well decorated with many flowers and fancy sculptures of animals. Also there is a pond in the front of the Thai restaurant. If you reavel with children you would be pleased by a nice swimming pool with the special children zone. As we are the fans of the ocean, the quality of beach is very important for us. Bophut beach is very beautiful. The sand here is not white, but yellow with the granular sand. The sea is warm and clean, but if you're looking for the crystal water, you should go to the neighbor islands where you can snorkel.
We stayed at the garden room with the terrace. The room is well equiped in a modern thai style. The room is spacios and comfortable. The staff provides you with fresh fruits and drinking water each day. The staff is very kind and ready to help you wth everything. On the first day we had a 15 minutes relazing massage. It was very good, but I think it could be better to offer 30 minutes massage. They also offer you a free wi-fi!
I can't say enough about the food as we had only brealfasts in the hotel, which was quite good. But I would reccomend to add more thai food for the breakfast. For the dinner we went to the Fisherman's village, whic is just 5 min away. We liked the Smile house restaurant there and one in Indian style (I don't remember the name). During the day you can enjoy the freshly cooked dishes right on the beach (there are a lot of local pleople who can cook the salad, grilled corn, spring rolls, chicken or fruits). Also the sellers could be annoying as they come to you each five minutes, but if you aren't interested, they woun't disturb you.
So totally we liked Koh Samui very much and want to come back one day. If you are looking for the nice hotel (I don't mean huge and crowded hotel resorts), you should go to Bophut resort and enjoy the atmosphere of tranquility.

I love everything about this resort. Great atmosphere, excellent facilities and genuinely friendly staff. Even the guy at the gate who helped me get across the busy road always greeted me with a salute and a wide smile. On arrival I was treated to a 15 minute free massage - souch better than a glass of sickly punch which most places give!

Completed a 7 night stay here in mid-December 2011 with 10 people and we came away very happy!

Great service throughout the resort - surprisingly, ALL staff that we dealt with were helpful, polite and friendly without feeling fake or put on. Calls to front desk were answered and actioned promptly. Front desk staff were helpful in arranging transport, booking tours and giving us ideas for what to do and see.
We all stayed in Garden Villas, which are full of natural light and a real pleasure to stay in - one of our favorite rooms to date! Rooms were very clean, spacious and well appointed. Housekeeping did a great job keeping them spotless.

Didn't eat at any of the resort restaurants (too pricey) aside from the breakfast buffet - however the breakfast was of very good quality and variety, and was one of the best we had in a 4 week trip in Thailand and Vietnam. Excellent fresh fruit selection as well as the requisite egg station and continental breakfast items (waffles, bacon, pancakes, pastries, etc.). They also cook to order different items each day. We had freshly made fried rice, fried noodles and rice noodle soup, all of which were tasty.

Arranged a hotel transfer for 10 people to and from the airport through the hotel - these went smoothly.

Girlfriend got massages at the spa a number of times and quite liked it. Significantly more expensive than the small massage places along the main road or in Fisherman's Village but also significantly nicer decor and ambience. A few massage services were being promoted at the time, which made them more reasonably priced.

We would definitely return to this resort if we were ever in Samui again and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
