I had two years in Thailand working and travelling from 2005 to 2007. When my vacation came in October this year, I chose Saree Samui as I heard they have the first class swimming pool on the island. It was the low season when I arrived and the hotel manager upgrade my tropical garden villa to tropical pool villa for free! And I really enjoyed the fun of a pool villa especially in the evening soaking myself in the clear water and watching the twinkle stars. Room facilities are sound, there is even a DVD palyer. Food in the restaurant are fantastic but with a reasonable price. I love the green curry chicken so much. As I mentioned, they DO have the first class swimming pool, it is.....huge yet beautiful. Royal Thai Massage by the sea side is a must! There is a temple 50m away from the resort, it is quite a good feeling to listen to monks pray in the morning and evening. The staff of the resort are so nice. I will definitely be back again.

An incredible hotel on an incredible beach. Far away from the tourist traps of Chaweng and Lamai. The rooms are amazing and the pool is stunning. The only downside was the single English language channel available on TV which was easily remedied by NOT WATCHING TV whilst on a beautiful tropical island!

We only spent two nights at Saree Samui, one at start and one at the end of our holiday (close proximity to Lomprhaya ferry). We enjoyed our stay there. Though they did have building work going on, It didn t bother us too much, maybe it would have if we were staying longer? I thought the staff were very friendly. I would return to Saree.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at the Saree Samui. The rooms are great and we loved the indoor/outdoor bathroom facilities. At this time of year the poolside was almost our own as its very quiet but this suited us! The room service prices were very reasonable for a hotel. It is a very quiet part of the beach and its too far to walk to Mae Nam. There s a little local restaurant if you turn left on the beach out of the hotel, very cheap, delicious watermelon juices! Also if you carry on past the pier we had a really good massage for 300 baht.

I liked everything. Hotel is new, rich decorated and has very cozy rooms with polls or gardens. The food is very nice but expensive as for Thailand. I had only one trouble, when we check out, The girl on reception told me that we drunk Sprite from the mini bar, I was surprised as I even didn t open it. I don t drink such things at all. I started dispute about it, but than I saw a scared girl s eyes and decided pay for it. After I Agreed to pay I found new surprise , this “ugly” Sprite costs about 11 dollars. I could buy 10 cans of sprite on this money. Anyway I found it nice, relaxing place to stay on Maenam beach.

Villas vastes et agréables. Nous avons apprécié en particulier les salles de bains ouvertes sur l extérieur ainsi que la baignoire dans le jardin. Magnifique piscine à débordement donnant sur la mer. Idéal pour les couples. Très calme.

Stayed mid July 2009 with my family. Maenam is a quieter part of Samui, which after Chaweng I welcomed. The resort itself is very new and finished to a high standard. The villa s with their own private yard offer a spacious, private and secluded level of accommodation. Only minor complaint is the restaurant kitchen was a little slow with the meals. However when the meals did arrive they were excellent. The staff seem aware of the problem and I am sure they will remedy this soon. All in all and excellent resort with friendly staff and a great pool!. I recommend a stay.

The villa isn t luxrious as I imagine. But the cozy surroundings and rustic Thai style room fit the mood for vacation. The restaurant is amazing too. The villa maybe a little far from downtown,but it is minutes walk from Lomprayah fast boat pier. The most important thing is the beachview and super-size pool.

Very beautiful location on Maenam beach. Great villas with private garden (others with pool). Wonderful pool directly on the beach making the choice of swimming in the sea or the pool hard! Restaurant nice, but over-priced (as much of Samui hotel restaurants are compared to the local food places). Breakfast OK but nothing special. Saree was very empty during our stay, with a maximum of 3-4 other couples staying. Only major problem during the stay was a constant issue with the water-supply - on the day we left, they had announced a major overhaul of the water system supplying the hotel so this should be OK in future. Transportation on Samui was a disaster - taxis refused to use their meter and we were being offered rides for a few KMs at 400 - 600 baht. Getting from the airport to the hotel (max. 20min. trip) would cost either B800 with hotel transportation, B600 with a taxi or B400 with a minibus for two people. Getting from Maenam to airport was the same, except that the minibus don t seem to pickup. We ended up booking a B500 taxi, which turned out to be a private car (family of staff?) to take us to the airport which went fine, except that I constantly felt I was being ripped off! To get around Samui we rented a Jeep somewhere for B600 / day, which turned out to be perfect, even if the condition of the Jeep was abit so-so...
