How was the booking process handled?: Book service was good.
Other comments about the hotel: Lovely peaceful bay away from the noise and litter found on the beaches on other parts of the island.Rooms are good as is pool and dining area. Food in the main restaurants is good and lovely in Buzz restaurant. More expensive than other parts of the island but to be expected - prices are reasonable. Cocktails are very good....Staff are poliet and friendly.Lima Coco next door hotel also do nice food at cheaper prices, good for lunch etc.

How was the booking process handled?: Very easy, good communication
Other comments about the hotel: The cottages and location are lovely. The quality of the food is not so good, and is overpriced. I was surprised that we were charged 1200 baht extra each evening for Chinese New Year, and yet the accommodations were not full, nor did the hotel put any entertainment on for this holiday. The spa is lovely.

How was the booking process handled?: Meinem Wunsch zwei Bungalows neben einander zu haben wurde nicht entsprochen.
Other comments about the hotel: Die beste Hotelanlage die ich kenne. Der Service einfach perfekt. Der Strand sauber und mehrmals am Tage gereinigt. War jetzt das dritte Mal mit Freunden hier, auch sie waren begeistert. Unser Bungalow war etwas versteckt, somit hatten wir keinen Meerblick wie es in den Prospekten und Homepage für jedes Bungalow garantiert wird. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist gut. Wir kommen wieder.

How was the booking process handled?: i would have preferred to speak to someone and get some detail of what room types were available. Room was ok but that was more through good luck i think.
Other comments about the hotel: Very peaceful and comfortable hotel. The Ao Prao side (west) of Ko Samed is the place for a quiet relaxing break and is in complete contrast to the much busier, dirtier & noisier Sai Kiew side. Only go there if you are looking for a Pattaya style break!A map of how to find the right boat pier in Ban Phe would be good. We got lost and had to take a private charter boat.

How was the booking process handled?: Fast reliable booking. We extended our stay by one day at the last minute - and they gave us the same rate.
Other comments about the hotel: I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The location is beautiful, the room outstanding - private balcony - view on the sea. All the staff were brilliant. I cant see how they can improve on what they have done there. Only one minor thing - their restaurant only serves Italian food, not something we came to Thailand for ... but there are a couple of great restaurants that serve great Thai seafood just a lazy stroll down the beach from where we were. Getting to and from the more build up and busy part of the island is a 10 min ride on taxis that are always on standby. You could also rent a motorcycle or even better, an ATV (four wheels) which are great fun for getting around on bumpy dirt roads. Over all the island is great and well managed and has all the activities you could want. You are never harassed by people trying to sell you things you don t want. It still has a sleepy undeveloped charm to it. There is a mix of backpackers, couples, honeymooners and young families with kids. All good clean relaxing fun. We will definitely be going back!

Other comments about the hotel: A lovely hotel on a lovely beach.Perfect to have a quite and soft time for relax. If you like more action its just to take a car about 10 minutes and you have it. The hotel is very nice and location can not be better. Its a bit expansive to eat and drink at the hotel and what we could see the most of the guests eat at the hotel next to Le vimarn or take the car to the village.I love that we can have the untouched nature and if we want - the action is just a few minutes away.Very peaceful and beautiful.I love it

How was the booking process handled?:
Other comments about the hotel: The hotel room was very good, the beach was fine,snorkelling was poor as the water was rather dirty(in fact it stings your skin when you are snorkelling), and the service of the personnel at the pier was downright lousy. I booked a speedboat from Buddy Tours (NOTE:don t book from them, they are tourist suckers!!!), paid a premium (even though i managed to negotiate till 45% lower than their initial offered price) but was given super POOR service. The speedboat took 15mins but i had to travel by land to the main pier(was promised to embark direct from Le Vimarn)and wait for hours in the end. Normally from Koh Samed to BKK, it will probably take 3-3.5hours in total, but that day i took 8hours!!!Because of this, i will never set foot onto Koh Samed again, the worst experience i ever had from travelling! Will strongly suggest tourists not to go there unless you have some locals with you. Even places like Hua Hin(for nearby BKK locations), or in the Philippines (for better beaches and cleaner water) will be much more worth visiting.

How was the booking process handled?: Good, however, should have mentioned No info that Bkk to Rayong takes 2,5 hrs by taxi, boat service to island only 10 mins!
Other comments about the hotel: Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa. Beautiful location, perfect hotel in every way. Small drawback that due to location, little choice of restaurants in vicinity.

How was the booking process handled?: Flawless as always.
Other comments about the hotel: We stayed one night in one of the spa villas. The location is unbeatable, and we love coming back to this part of Koh Samet. The beach is clean and very suitable for the children, there are even some snorkling opportunities for the children at each side of the beach.The room, however, left something to desire. As we entered the room there was a bad smell that never went away. It felt like the room was constantly damp, and maybe this is related to the smell as well. Even if the aircon was on all the time, the room always felt damp and wet.The Italian restaurant was nice, as long as one don t get too irritated by these little details they never get right in Thailand. This time, our pre-dinner drinks arrived well after the food and wine. But after living in Thailand for a while we get used to these oddities. Still the food was good and service friendly despite the things mentioned above.Anyway, we will come back, but will probably stay at the Ao Prao resort next time.

How was the booking process handled?: Good job.....
Other comments about the hotel: We did have great time in the resort.... However it was ruined by money stolen in the Gym indise the resort!!!! Very few people were staying(low season),there were few suspects(only certain staff can go into Gym to clean), and we strongly believe that resort staff took the money. Later on we relized when we think about what happened at that time.....It s not small amount of money, but is more the principle that matters in this situation.We incredibly DISAPOINTED that this could happen in 5-STAR resort.We just want to tell everybody who book this resort should be careful their money, and don t take it for granted as you never know what s gonna happen.....!!!!!!!!!We won t go back again, even if service is good.

How was the booking process handled?: Great
Other comments about the hotel: Le Vimarn is a wonderful hotel. The rooms are somewhat pricey but the service is great. BUZZ restaurant serves some of the best Thai food we have had in Thailand. Drinks and services can add up quickly!!! Very expensive (Happy Hour at BUZZ is worth it!)
