Como
Resort, Big Buddha Beach
We stayed two nights with 2 small kids at Como Resort, which is a
basic accomodation with a very friendly and helpful staff. Although
the rooms were not very fancy, I can recommend the place for people,
who are looking for reasonably prized accomodation. The biggest minus
was the swimming pool, which seemed to be so dirty, that we did not
want to use it. |

Excellent, quiet and peaceful. Staff very helpful. The lady took me
to the post office on her moto so I didnt have to get a taxi! Food
decent. Location wasn t great, as to get to Chaweng, you had to take
a taxi and the prices varied quite a lot. We did however, do a tour
of the island that the owners set up for us. 1200 THB got us about
5 hours driving around the island. Was a lovely way to see it. Pool
is small but does the trick, as the sea is a bit shallow. Nice sunsets.
We can recommend this place. |

Fabulous peaceful resort, near enough to everything to be accessible
but far enough away to be totally relaxing. Owners and staff extemely
helpful. We did not want to leave. |

Como Resort, Big Buddha Beach
Ideal stop over to soak in the view! Quiet and reserved, its basic
accomodation but clean. Food is great and hosts very helpful. Near
vacinity is quiet away from most amieneties. Would recommend as a
base for people who would like to hire a jeep and explore as well
as have a beach and little pool to come back to! |

In fact our plan was just to stay for three nights at Como Resort
but we stayed for ten! We hadn’t even warned our host that our arrival
would be at 7.30a.m. but even that didn’t phase her. She simply set
about making us welcome and looking after our every need. Our experiences
at this small scale resort were really enough to write a book on.
Location .. Excellent, our chalet was just two paces from the beach.
The nearby airport created no noise problem what so ever (I had wondered
about this when we booked). Within easy walking distance to the two
piers for boat trips to surrounding Islands or mainland. Room Facilities..The
room ‘fridge was really appreciated and the AC system and fan was
very efficient. We had no wish for a TV but understand that most chalets
had them. Rooms were thoroughly cleaned each day and bedding replaced
every other day. The extensive menu was well presented and good, it
was really a struggle to justify eating elsewhere! . The three staff...
absolutely delightful, hardworking, full of good humour and fun and
they take a good picture! Service...Nothing was too much trouble.
Taxis were passing regularly but Dang would book one within minutes
if required. Likewise she was able to book hire vehicles that arrived
within a few minutes. On deciding to fly back to Bangkok before returning
to the UK, Dang even booked flight ticket for us to collect from the
airport and sorted out excellent accommodation for us at the Baiyoke
Suite Hotel for our last night in Thailand The beach.. Swimming in
the first 15mts is no problem, beyond this footwear would be advisable
due to rough coral surfaces. A two seater canoe was available, it
was good for reaching the huge sandbar about 75 meters from the shore.
Being at the opposite end of the bay to the Big Buddha there are very
few people passing by on the beach. We certainly recommend this resort.
Especially if you want a quiet location with a traditional feel, within
reach of busy resorts if you want to visit them. For us this was all
we wanted for a very hot two weeks in April. Other times of the year
might be different. We had some doubts about sea water quality on
all of the island’s beaches but we hope to return!!! |

Como Resort, Big Buddha Beach
This resort is ideal for a stay on ko samui. it offers peace and seclusion
but is only a short taxi ride from bophut and chaweng (about 200 baht).
The staff were brilliant, the rooms very clean and the location perfect
(our room was 2 steps from the pool and about 10 yard from the beach)
For the price, you d be very lucky to find anything better on Samui. |

Would highly recommend the Como Resort if you are looking for accommodation
which is quiet and relaxing, with a homely atmosphere. Great service
provided. Would definitely stay there again. |

Como Resort, Big Buddha Beach
Como Resort was fantstic. It is small, out of the way, quiet, no crowds
and it has lovely staff who always presentd us with a big welcoming
smile whenever they saw us. It was perfect for a relaxing start to
our Thailand trip. Our bungalow was literally right on the beach and
it is only 50Bht/person from the nightlife of Chaweng Beach or a short
stroll to the smaller bars/eateries of Big Buddah Beach. The price
is resonable and we would definitly stay again. |

Como Resort, Big Buddha Beach
Nice quiet little hotel. Arrived and the room i reserved was not available.
Received some money back as refund but wasnt given an explanation
as to why the room i booked well in advance was taken (or why it meant
we were downgraded ). Beach front hut with own bathroom delightful,
all you really need on samui. Bedding wasnt the greatest quality.
(no top sheet and obviously comforter had been used before.) Disappointed
that the pool was getting retiled - water was very murky so couldnt
swim. Internet facilities also werent working. Stated that tours could
be booked there - yet staff really didnt seem to know anything about
them/prices/time. |
