    It was awesome and I cannot wait to come back when the pool bar is open

    The perfect paradise, at the moment at a great budget as some of it is still in the making. Very friendly staff and smart management. And everything really is as beautiful, if not even more, as in the pictures. Also great location to chill I. Lamai, I was there for 3 nights and didn't even get a scooter

    the water is very shallow at the beach so not really possible to swim. There is not much in the immediate vicinity - about 10 min walk to the grandfather & grandmother rocks (over-touristed!), another 10 min to get to the 'center' of Lamai. Recommend to arrange a scooter to make getting around easier.

    A fantastic find. Nice rooms, fantastic view, small but nice pool, secluded beach, kayaks to borrow, great food & coffee in the cafe/restaurant co-located with reception.

    Some few minute points like the Tea kettle needs to be cleaned thoroughly and the tea bags and coffee to be changed everyday. The pillow was huge so a better option would help.

    The courteous nature of Jerome and the rest of the staff was amazing. The view from the room was exceptional and the swimming pool by the beach is worth mentioning. We got our breakfast made free because we booked the private room which felt like a kind gesture. The Room in itself is aesthetic and Very thoughtful.

    They are still working on a few areas of the hotel so it’s not full service yet (no bar at the beach). But on the other hand we had the beach to ourselves for the most part and it was a very nice beach.

    We loved The Rock Samui! The room was great. We were on the upper balcony and had an amazing view. The beach wasn’t deep enough for swimming when we were there but we made use of the pools. Both were great. We were able to use the villa pool which had amazing views. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The breakfast was great. They have terrific coffee. It was quiet. It was near some good restaurants and close to the beach towns. We used a motor bike to get around. We also got massages everyday across the street, which was the spa the hotel recommended and the staff there did a great job.

    Everything was fine. The airconditioner blew cold air on our faces so we change directions, and our face where usually we put our feet, and no more blowing on ur faces anymore.

    We loved Jerome the manager. He gave us VIP service taking care of all our needs. Always with a smile, excellent English.

    The bed we found to be too firm but Jerome has provided us with some mattress toppers to make it better. We also would have been happy with some mosquito nets installed to be able to leave the windows open for the night as an alternative to running the aircon. And indeed, as others also mentioned, some construction work is going on at the beachfront (they are building a beach side restaurant and adding some more family rooms) but it was not too disturbing especially if you are out exploring the island during the day, the pool can still be used all day. Construction of the restaurant is expected to be finalised by April 2023.

    Outstanding hospitality, Jerome and his team are professional, helpful, kind and most welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay, the hotel has a beautiful beach that is to be used only by the hotel guests and cleaned twice a day. Kayaks are available to explore the bay. Both the pool at the beach and the ones (incl jacuzzi) at the Villa have beautiful views. A small complimentary breakfast was provided free of charge with delicious smoothie options each morning and we also enjoyed the dinner that was delivered at our terrace every evening. Overall the whole hotel has a nice & peaceful vibe. We had an amazing time, thanks to the whole staff for making our stay memorable.

    •There were some construction going on around the beach pool and villa. But we had a chance to use Villa pools which made our stay excellent! Even had a jacuzzi. Kid absolutely loved the pools. •Room quite small. •Bed was a little too hard. •Air-conditioner just beside bed. Even with 27degrees was too cold. Got a sore throat after first night. Later used a ventilation mode, but it was a little too hot in the morning because of the sun. •Would love to have some cotton buds and pads etc. Otherwise totally recommend staying at this amazing beautiful place.

    •Unbelievably nice and welcoming owner/staff, haven’t seen someone so polite, friendly and kind before. Always smiling. Thank you Jerome! Keep it going! •Very nice hotel with a good vibe •Absolutely clean rooms •Free little extra bed for kid •Free coffee(latte/cappuccino) pancakes and other snacks in the morning •Some biscuits and bananas at the lobby for free. •Can use kitchen and playroom for kids. •Nice sea view from lobby and bungalows. •Thin pool towels with beach bag. •Nice clean pools and beach on the property. •Very chill and quiet place. Very good to sleep.

    Motel manager was very helpful, informative and frank. Staffs were quite polite and usually carried smile. The electricity plugs were changed for international travelers, and we didn't need to use our adapters, thumbs up.
