    Not a single thing.

    A very clean and new resort, even though some facilities are still under construction. This did not take away from the beauty of the place. The room had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I found it odd that some reviews were complaining about insects in the cottage. However, in reality during my stay, there were no signs of any insects or even mosquitoes inside the cottage. The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional. Special thanks to Melisse and Leila from the reception.

    The staff at the breakfast was a bit grumpy! Not all of them but most of them were unpleasant. The breakfast menu could have more options and the coffee and juices could be improved. All the finishings of the room and the hotel is high end apart form the kitchen. Mind the hotel is new and still expanding so you can hear the workers during the day. It did not bother us though.

    The room is breathtaking! I love that they use the salt to clean the pools. Waking up in the morning and going down to say hi and feed the elephants that are freely running in the nature is just so wholesome. I loved the bed, I slept like like on the cloud, for my husband it was a bit soft. Depends on your preference. Housekeeping amazing! The hotel is very close to Fisherman’s village (2mins by motorbike) so plenty of options for dinner and drink. Also great location to visit the most beautiful beaches of Koh Samui.

    You should tell the people about the floating breakfast that has to be pre ordered.

    Sadly I had to leave, not even in my dreams I would imagine staying in a resort with elephants. The room is extraordinary.

    The front desk could be reinforced with the support of a more experienced person. Another thing that could be greatly appreciated would be a shuttle to the beach or to the fisherman village for instance.

    The cottages are very welcoming and well furnished, providing all the amenities and quality one could want and a bit more. The staff at the restaurant and spa were lovely and feeding the elephants in the morning was a fun experience. The location is a bit separated from the rest of the infrastructure but the views are worth it and the quite at night as well (keep in mind that there’s a construction site during the day at this time)

    Only thing that I would like to see changed would be that the Elephants had a water hole/pool that they could play in. They are showered with the hose but would be nice to see a pool for them. Other than that the stay was perfect and I will return with my children this year

    The rooms were incredible. The food was delicious and the Thai staff were extremely hard working friendly and couldn’t do enough

    We believed you would be able to see elephants from our pool, you can not whilst in pool higher up the mountain but can see them when standing on patio/balcony if the elephants are in certain areas. You can see them though whilst in the communal pool!

    Everything was absolutely beautiful from the moment you arrived! Beautiful reception, pool, restaurant and grounds leading to insane rooms with a beautiful view over looking island and koh Pha-ngan. As well as facilities all staff were lovely.

    Nothing

    Nestled in the serene beauty of Koh Samui, Wild Cottages Elephant Sanctuary is an unparalleled gem that surpassed all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an aura of sophistication and hospitality that defined our entire stay. The service transcends the ordinary; it's truly 6-star. The staff's unwavering dedication to ensuring every aspect of our trip was flawless left us in awe. Their attentiveness knew no bounds, going above and beyond to cater to our every whim with grace and warmth. The villa itself exuded opulence, boasting a level of luxury that set a new standard for indulgence. Every detail was meticulously crafted, from the lavish furnishings to the state-of-the-art amenities, creating an ambiance of sheer indulgence and comfort. One highlight was the floating breakfast experience. Waking up to a sumptuous spread served in the tranquility of our private pool was nothing short of magical—a truly unforgettable way to start the day. But perhaps the best part of our stay was the mesmerising experience of feeding elephants. So enamored were we that we couldn't resist returning for an additional night, even after staying elsewhere. It's not just a hotel; it's an essential destination in Koh Samui—a sanctuary where luxury meets unparalleled hospitality. Will Cottages sets the bar impossibly high, offering an extraordinary retreat that exceeds all expectations. For those seeking an unforgettable escape in Koh Samui, look no further—this is an absolute must.

    The restaurant exists, but my preferences are different. I had coffee only. Simply my Preference. The entire staff and facility are wonderful. Fisherman’s Village is quite close and provides entertainment as well as many restaurants. A simple cab ride for 4-5 hundred boat gets you to many venues. The driver even pre arranges to bring you back. Everything is new and first class

    Couldn’t fault a thing.

    Everything - the location is brilliant with fantastic panoramic views of the elephant sanctuary. It’s only a 10-15 minute taxi ride into the more busier local areas. The accommodation is outstanding finished to the highest level. The attention to detail throughout the whole hotel is second to none and has all been executed brilliantly.
