Even though it was a no smoking room, the people next door would sit outside their room and smoke which would seem to travel into our room through the air conditioning system.

The staff were amazing and very helpful and always happy to help with a smile.

Mosquitoes

The resort is good with private beach. Breakfast is also good.

Hard to find any faults with this hotel, but a minor thing that kept annoying us was the doors to the room were awkward to get in and out. They were authentic split doors in keeping with the design of the hotel but a faff to get in and out unless you unbolted both sides which we didnt want to do when trying to keep out the mosquitos.

Good location, all staff were exceptionally helpful and the hotel was spotlessly clean. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the manager Tee ran a tight ship and was excellent at predicting the weather.

Great location surrounded by restaurants, bars, and nightlife, without being noisy when you’re ready to rest from all the fun. The hotel is in the flight line, so you do hear the occasional jets, but not too early or too late. The beach in front of the hotel is gorgeous and calm. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nutty and Ann at the pool bar made our holiday they were very professional and always had a big smile on there faces , The Hotel beach is amazing and we had a nice dinner under the stars which was great , They only thing that let the Hotel down was it was a bit tired in places and could do with some work done .. location brilliant

Prices for food and drinks are pretty pricey compared to other resturants and bars around but I guess you are paying for the view! Beers are never cold enough just from the fridges but we are Aussies and we like our beer cold so we have to ask bar staff to please put them in the ice/esky for 1/2 hour before we can drink them. However they did this everyday for us without a problem. But if we have a spirit with a mix while we are waiting, its nearly $11.00 each drink and we get 29% off as well. Way too expensive for Thailand but we have noticed that Koh Samui has become a very busy party place for the younger crowd and they tend to pay these ridiculous prices.

Staff are great, so friendly and helpful. Always happy too. Rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. Pool area overlooking beautiful Chawang beach is awesome. Breakfast is amazing, soo much choice and hot dishes change everyday. Loved it.

The Dara Samui is in a very good location, far enough away from the noise, but only minutes away from shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were lovely and the grounds too. It's right on the beach and has a nice pool, too. We had breakfast included, which had a very good choice and very nice too. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Dara Samui and Dara Serene restaurant are quite simply superb. I cannot thank the staff here enough, they are outstanding. So friendly, welcoming and polite. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I would like to say extra thanks to Tor, Rit, Mook and Mr T for making our stay here so wonderful.

I was asked continually about my check out time, I had only arrived 12 hours before. I had 2 or 3 phone calls and a notification put on my door!!!? I booked for 2 nights but was telephoned after 12 hours to enquire about check out....

Swimming pool was a bit small and seemed more decorative as opposed to swimmers. Wardrobe space in the rooms was lacking. For parts of the morning the beach could not be used due to the high tide so had to wait until post lunch to use the beach loungers

Breakfast choice was good. Beach location was very good. Dinner on the beach was great. Restaurant staff were attentive and always smiling

The uneven floor in the Bathroom, Toilet and shower, is a bit of a trip hazard, it pays to have a light on. The view from our Balcony was an old vacant lot from a Resort that had been demolished.

The Staff at Dara Samui were so welcoming and friendly, They made you feel very relaxed and the Breakfast was fantastic with a Chef cooking all wonderful dishes. Even though the accommodation was older, it is great Value for money. Great location to the night life.
