We had a great stay here over new years. It is situated at the top of a hill so you are gifted with a beautiful view, however it is a bit of a journey into either Chaweng or Lamai and can get expensive if you don't have a scooter. The rooms were lovely and so were the pools, there are about 4 pools with a sea view! I would recommend for a short stay.

The location has an amazing view although if you do want to explore the island it is a bit difficult. Nothing much else to complain about. I have seen reviews about people commenting on the outdated pool furniture, it seemed fine to us!

Very nice hotel. We had a sea view room and it was very beautiful. View from restaurant is also wow! Internet is good. Cleaning was ok. Breakfast was the same, but it’s ok.

Nothing bad about this place. It’s 3*, a bit outdated, gym is super old, so I would not say it’s there at all. Location wise - it’s on top of the hill, a bit on a side from main beaches or main spots, so you need to have a bike. If you have a bike- it’s not an issue at all, as driving distance to all main spots is short. I would easily stay there again. Nice place & nice people.

Great hotel, with awesome view and amazing staff. For those who don't plan to rent a bike keep in mind the hotel is located on the hill, so you will have a pretty rough climb each time. Besides hotel is located in a very quiet area a bit distant from all the night life regions. Considering this hotel also consider renting some wheels or using taxi.

Breakfasts are pretty much the same every day.

We loved our stay at the bay view, a lot of people complain about the location of the hotel but I think it’s perfect, it’s so beautiful, if you were not up the hill you wouldn’t get such a beautiful view! The staff were amazing! The food is lovely and they have three different pools, it’s like we had the pool for ourselves as there wasn’t anyone else there at certain times of the day! The only thing is the water in the rooms aren’t very hot. The staff also decorated the room so lovely for us after we had a horrible stay somewhere else. Highly recommend this place for a chill few days!

The water in the bathrooms could be warmer!

It was absolutely amazing. I was traveling by myself for the first time (i'm a 20 year old female) and the staff were so welcoming and lovely. The view was outstanding, although it was on a hill which was a bit of a pain because you can't walk around (I'd suggest getting a grab-bike to get around). The food at the restaurant was really good and authentic. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again!

Nothing :)

The view was unexpected,as I didnt book a Sea view room,but got one.The room was huge,could have had another Kingsize and single bed in it,I had both a bath and a shower cubicle in the bathroom.Massive amount of wardrobe space(with hangers)Room was cleaned every day.Breakfast was a feast(included).The manager was always about and helpful(if something wasnt right,he would look into it and sort it.There were to 2 seperate pools (both the same size,swimmable)and a seperate kids pool.Wifi was very good.Definlately would go back.

Nothing.Dont know how the property is,but could do with a lick of paint in a few places,but maintenance/upgrades were being done.If it was good enough for the King of Thailand a good 15/20 years ago,its good enough for me.A bit out on a limb,really need a scooter or car to make life easier,but pick up taxis were always passing by at the bottem of the driveway to flag down.

An Unforgettable Experience at Samui bayview The resort was big, clean and well maintained. They had good options of swimming pool. Room service was till late which was a big plus for us. The options were good as well as the taste. Our daughter loved the kids play area. Families would love the family king rooms with partial ocean view. Appreciate the service of all staff members who were very welcoming and good.

Firstly, the breakfast there is great. Secondly and more importantly, the staff was extremely nice and helpful, from the reception personal to the security guards and waiters, every single one of them will welcome you with a great smile. Traveling with a baby is a bit difficult from time to time, and the stuff was so helpful and really helped us enjoy our stay. Highly recommend!

An exceptional Hotel. Beautiful grounds that are well maintained. Staff and management kind, courteous and helpful. Very nice beach area. The breakfasts were so nice. An all round great experience. I personally would highly recommend Samui bayview Resort.

The room was clean, The staff very friendly and helpful, The views.. Amazing!

The pool chairs are worn out and old. The gaming equipment is broken and not well maintained.
