Explorar, Koh Samui
What did you think of this hotel?
Steven: The property felt young, light, modern, fun and was beautiful if you like clean lines and a simple aesthetic. Our villa was stunning, with beach views, a private pool and a stunning interior. We loved it. The hotels pool was HUGE, it must have been Olympic sized! The restaurant was also so good, offering local dishes to more international comfort foods, the mix was great and much appreciated. The staff took really great care of us and we would totally return here!
Garrya Tongsai Bay, Koh Samui
What did you think of this hotel?
Steven: This was one of our favourites. The staff was the best out of them all, so warm, graceful and friendly – they really made you feel like family while a guest at the property. The check-in was so lovely, the two staff members that brought us to our villa were so nice! The villa was huge, beautifully designed, with an stunning private pool, outdoor bathtub, and when we entered the room, it was just as pretty, from the living room, comfy bed to the bathroom, everything was gorgeous.
Now for the restaurant experiences, they were SPECTACULAR! We celebrated Manu (my partner’s) birthday while at the Garrya, and they made it amazing with a table on the beach, personalised cake, bubbles, etc. It was a moment we’ll remember forever. Lastly, go to the SPA, it started to rain during our session, which even though it was already amazing, took it to a whole other level. All in all this is a property you just have to experience for yourself.
