The hotel turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Unlike other reviews, we found the location quite comfortabe, away from the crowds. It is very easy to travel to and from the resort by taxi or by renting a motorbike/ATV. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. The pool was very inviting and although rather small, the kids loved swimming and playing in it. Breakfast was good and the view from our deluxe hill room, was incredibly beautiful.
The only problems relate to: 1. The bathroom - very poorly lighted and the shower is open. Also,we had problems with the water flow - very very weak. 2. The room was full of ants and other "creatures". Housekeeping tried to cope with the problem but with limited success.
Overall, the hotel is a very good value and it should be noted that the Samed company takes care of you and your luggage from the minute you arrive at their office at the pier in Rayong up to the last minute of your vacation - when you return to the office.
We found Kohsamet a true hidden gem, the beaches are marvelous and we think that for families, it is much better than Pucket or Kohsamui, after visiting all of them.
