Very nice rooms,...clean, spacious, hip and great price! The location
is good. The restaurants are ok but not on par with the rooms and
service. We d definitely go back! |

Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
Good location, but the deluxe cottages are too far from the beach.
The beach front room was quite small but comfortable. It needed some
fresh paint and trimming of the plants in front which blocked the
beach view. The breakfast was excellent as was the service at the
Rimtalay restaurant. |

Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
Stayed in a beachfront room and was impressed. Staff were incredibly
friendly. The room was simple but clean, with one of the nicer bathrooms
I ve seen on Ko Samet s Saikaew beach. Saikaew beach is the place
to stay if you want a fun nightlife -- the whole beach is lit up with
lanterns and the atmosphere is fantastic. |

Hotel is really nice for the price that I paid (2450b for beach front)
and the construction doesn t bother most of the rooms at all. Beware
the Pattaya travel agencies that won t sell the discounted prices.
Don t also do the mistake and go to new Lanna Pizzeria, it is not
ready yet and pizza looks taken from freezer. |

Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
This is a really big place. Nice rooms, and restaurant on right on
perhaps the largest and possibly prettiest beach on Ko Samet. Pretty
expensive, compared to some of the others places on this beach. |

Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
Breakfast is very good and the location of the hotel is also good,
very close to the beach and enough quite at night and daytime, as
compared to the rest of the island. The hotel rates are however, too
pricey for what the hotel offers. The room is not worth the money
we paid. In Koh Samui we had a much better room for the same price.
However, this hotel seems to be the best choice on the island if you
opt for comfort and nearness to the beach. Bed sheets were changed
daily and the room was clean except for the floor which should be
improved. We booked everything through Sawadee and we will do it again
in the future as rates are much better than if you go directly to
the hotel. Thank you Sawadee!!!:) One time in Koh Samet is however
enough for us. The island is small and there are not so many attractions
like in Koh Samui. Next time we are definitely going somewhere else.
We are thinking about Puket or Krabi. We will see. Anyway, thank you
for everything. |

Saikaew Beach Resort, Koh Samet, Saikaew Beach
This resort is the best one on the Saikaew beach! And the only one
with a pool on this beach! We stayed in a two bedroom family suite
which was beautifully situated by the small private beach that belonged
to the resort. The suite was very nicely furnished and clean. A minus
was that they didn t have a safety box and that it was an overprice
considering thaiprices in general. If you want to stay at this beach
on Koh Samet this is the best place! But, it is definitly not the
best beach for sunbathing, it was trashy and very crowded (my opinion),
the kids aged 9 and 11 did enjoy the water scooter and all activity
though. At night the beach had some good places to eat at, and it
was close to the center . |

The hotel service was very good, nice location and the arrangements
to / from the ferry are well organised. However the standard of the
room was very poor, broken flooring, ants and cockroaches in the bathroom,
very small room, so smmall difficult to walk around the bed. So poor
I complained . This was attended to quickly and I was moved to a larger
room, but I think the hotel is very nice but the rooms offered are
in need of refurbishment as they look tired and old. Breakfast very
nice. About the transport to and from the ferry, the cost of the taxi
(sit on the back of a van, tuk tuk style) is excessive. They charge
200 Bhat for the trip. A local told me its normally 20 or 30 Baht
for the trip. It can be cheaper if there are more residents travelling.
In my case there were 5 so the charge should have been 40Baht, but
I was asked for 70Baht. I refused but was told the charge was by room!!!
Quite ridiculous. I still refuded to pay 70 and paid 40.On the way
there I was the only resident so paid 200 for the 1 or 2 km. This
was after paying 160 for a Bus from Bangkok! |

This was the second time my wife and I have stayed at Sai Kaew Beach
Resort. We absolutely love this resort. During this stay we decided
to venture about the rest of the island and search for other resorts
to possibly stay at for another time. However, we could not find any
to compare. |

Best island ever!!!! Great location on the best beach in Koh Samet.
The rooms are clean and the staff are very very friendly. We had a
great trip... Make sure you stay at this beach and not any other.
We took a motorbike around the island and saw some great views however,
many of the other resorts were deserted and reminded us a little of
the blair witch. Have fun on your trip - you will never forget this
place. |
