small family owned resort right on beach. You can take your towel and sit at the water. We ordered snacks and beer from the bar (closes at 5). Our bungalow was spotless, the aircon worked great, and it was serveiced daily. During the rain we could sit on the front deck and enjoy.... we rented scooters at a reasonable price direct from the resort. 200baht/day. This enabled us to explore the entire island at our leisure. Everyone had a smile for us and I have no complaints

I would say that the breakfast lacked inspiration. We only ate there once and quickly realized that there were many better offers around the island.

Great rooms (we had superior double) very large comfortable bed and nice patio. 2 min walk to beautiful quiet beach, nice clean white sand and very shallow clean ocean which you can snorkel in. There are some small rocks to walk over but there are a few places to the right where it's sandy. Didn't seem to have on site restaurant but plenty on beach and on road. We ate at the Silver spoon which offered a great menu but found a great Mexican place which served delicious food and very good prices, think it's called Tips Tacos. Would recommend this place and avoid the Bophut area, which we had to leave due to the polluted sea. But silver beach was so much better.

Food prices are a little high along the beach but you do get a nice view but can find cheaper great food along the main road.

Perfect beachfront getaway, lovely staff, lush pool, cute restaurant right on the waterfront which serves lovely fruit shakes. Room was very spacious with a cute balcony. Resort is close to 7/11 and a handful of other restaurants but is generally further away (~30 min walk) from the main Lamai hub.

Beach did get quite crowded in the afternoon (because it is so beautiful). Bit of a smell coming from the drains in the bathroom. Outsourced laundry service shrunk some of our clothes.

This place is a real gem. It’s located right on the best beach on the island. The bungalow was super comfortable, great tv with Netflix and great aircon kept the room cool at all times. The restaurant is great, good breakfast and friendly staff. There is a massage platform also and the ladies there are great. What would be amazing would be some morning or evening yoga here. The water is so warm you can swim and snorkel for hours. The beach on the north half is good for swimming and chilling in the water and the southern half is great for snorkelling. I saw amazing sea life there! The beach in front of the hotel gets swept every day so there is no rubbish around. There are also places to eat dinner just up the road and a convenience store also a few minutes away. It is a quick songthaew or scooter ride to Lamai or Chaweng, but there are really nicer vibes on this beach so I was so happy to hang here.

We got super lucky as our Bungalow was right next to the beach. No matter where one stay’s they will be walking distance from the beach. Just something to take note of: when swimming, swim on the left side as the right side is rocky. The room is big, comfortable and really clean. There is a balcony which is really nice to chill on and have a drink or two. Everyone is really friendly and helpful here. To rent a scooter it is 200 baht a day and you pay in cash when you check out.

Elly at the reception is helpful and does her best to make the guests feel happy always! I have arrived with an evening flight the check in was smooth. I have informed through Booking the resort. Although they did not reply they have waited me. Position is amazing át Silver beach. Tuk tuk or taxi to Chaweng Lamai Bophut are available on the street. Vikasa Yoga is walking distance. Beach restaurant us good too. Waiters are friendly. I hope to return!

I read the commento about cleaning. Well it’s Thailand small tips can resolve the towel and bed sheet problems.

The room was very spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Cleaning service every day with new drinking water. Room and resort was also very quiet. Resort was on the beach, our room was a bit back from the beach but only 100m. Beach was clean with clear water and several bars and restaurants (from the other resorts including this one) to choose from. Very close to multiple good restaurants (5 min walk)

Bars and restaurants on the beach close quite early. Only bar on the beach open on Saturday night was one of the other resorts which also closed at 930pm so you need to go elsewhere for more nightlife. Not loads of restaurants nearby but enough choice for a few nights

EVERYTHING! It was the most beautiful stay we had in Thailand. We had the bungalow with sea view and it was literally 10 meters from the beach. We couldn’t be more happy when we got there and saw the place. We spent 5 nights (we couldn’t book for 7) and it was just perfect. Would spend 15 more days if possible. Staff is great, rooms are super comfortable and clean. You get water and room service everyday. 7 eleven is one block from the hotel and you also have great restaurants options next to it. The pool is great as well, we used it every day in the afternoons. You can also rent scooters. We did it one day but the rest of the days we just stayed in Crystal Beach that is the most beautiful one in the island. We were so sad we had to leave. Would recommend 100%.

- Pretty closed to the beach - Activities such as snorkeling, kayaking and paddling board. - Beach is great, many rocks but there are lots of fishes

- There is no shower shelf to put soap and shampoo on, we had to put on the floor :( - doesn't have cloth rack for drying wet cloth, we hang on the terrace rail.

Thongtakian resort is an amazing location for budget friendly users and in one of the best beaches on Koh Samui. The property is quite basic and old especially the beach bungalows however it’s perfect for the price and location. The staff is really friendly and the beach bar is cute for a coffee or juice by the ocean.

The property is a little outdated as mentioned. It also doesn’t provide scooter service and no room service or any kind of service during the evening. The last order for the beach bar is 7:30 pm which is quite early.
