I would not recommend anyone to stay...
I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. From start to finish it was a total nightmare and a waste of money. On our first day our room was a huge disappointment. Although a reasonable size, the bacolny was small and dirty and looked out over an adjoining property which you could literally reach out and touch. Dara has two backpacker properties both sides of it and both are very run down and dirty not allowing for much of a "view". Our bathroom had two basins which was a nice touch except that the taps to both basins were practically hanging off. Every time we turned on the taps to the basins, turned on the shower, the bath or flushed the toilet there was a stench which made us want to heave. Think drains and you are halfway there. Then later on in the day our air con decided to pack up. We complained that evening and was told that we could move to a room on the floor below. We agreed we would move the following morning. After a long day we were ready for a good nights sleep except that we didn't get one because one of the backpacker places next door was having a party which went on to around 6am. We complained again but the staff did not take us very seriously and after much debate they finally moved us to another room to the front of the hotel. Thankfully this was a slightly better room and we managed to get some sleep for the next few nights although the sickening stench in the bathroom was still there. On complaining again we were told that we just had to run the taps for 10 minutes and the smell would go away. Oh yes almost forgot, the rooms at Dara are set out that your toilet and shower cubicle are at the front of your room and have a full length glass panel each side of them so that anyone walking along the pathway can watch you in full glory having a shower or taking a number 2. Nice touch Dara!
Just stunning. service, set up everything is...
Just stunning. service, set up everything is great. just double check the bath tub and bathroom before using it was a little stale when we got in... other than that perfect!!! and the spa is amazing too :)
Sorry, whilst the villa is quite large...
Sorry, whilst the villa is quite large with a seperate lounge and bathroom, we were very disappointed with the plumbing. We had to get the engineer to attend to the toilet every day and there was a distinct odour in the water when you turned on the tap in the basin.
With little children, I was concerned for their health.
Staff were great though.
The location is very convenient and handy....
The location is very convenient and handy. We were spoiled by the Managers and waiter/waitresses. Very good service. We had a wonderful time and would recommend anyone to stay here. Our son who is 11 years old enjoyed the room so much, he refused to go out at times!
its a small hotel for a 5...
its a small hotel for a 5 star with a very small beach. except for the market outside, there is nothing much within the hotel or on the beach of the hotel
My husband & I celebrated 4 nights...
My husband & I celebrated 4 nights of our honeymoon at the beautiful Dara Samui in a Deluxe Suite on the 3rd Floor. It was magnificent - 96 square metres overlooking the beautiful pool and beach of Chaweng.
We got soft-opening rates which included alacarte breakfast until 2pm each day.We paid half the price that we were going to pay at another hotel for just a standard room.
The staff were absolutely lovely, food excellent, pool had sun all day (not like at many of the other hotels in Koh Samui). We loved the hotel as it is not as big and commercial as some of the hotels there.
But as soon as the place is finished, the rates are going to be much higher - we can't believe how lucky we were to stay at such a beautiful place for a super cheap price.
Congratulations Dara Samui - We will be back!!!
