No trouble checking in. Nice room, just wished they had a bathtub.
Had dinner at the beach restaurant. A bit pricey but the location
was beautiful and the food was good. Hotel is right across the street
from the beach so it s convenient for an ocean swim |

Great value for money, great location right by the beach in Fishermans
Village. Friendly helpful staff, bungalow a bit dated but very clean
with comfy bed and good facilities. |

Very nice resort. Clean rooms, beautiful garden and very friendly
staffs. Our family terrece bungalo was at the end of the garden, so
the rooms are a bit dark, maybe because the roof is dark wood? Couple
lamps in the room would help though. Anyway we enjoyed our stay, our
4 year old daughter had great fun at the pools. |

Smile House Resort, Bophut Beach
Fantastic! Enjoyed 8 days in this lovely resort. Arrangement of the
chalets within a beautiful garden environment made for a very pleasing
and secluded location. It was constantly maintained by friendly, polite
staff who also managed to be unimposing. Reception staff were always
welcoming and helpful. I’d booked a 2 bedroom luxury terrace (for
family of 4) but we also had 2 bathrooms which I hadn’t expected.
Space was ample and the interior was of a good standard inc. efficient
air con. Chalet was made up daily with clean sheets and towels (bath
and pool). Only two points for improvement: we were in a corner terrace
and so the ‘lounge’ room and balcony were very dark (brighter light
bulbs would have helped but didn’t think to ask!), also the ‘lounge’
area was just that – there was a TV, fridge and facilities for making
tea and coffee (you need to provide your own) but no sink! so you
have to go to the bathroom to rinse cups, wash fruit etc - only 3
bed chalets have a kitchenette Smile House restaurant is just across
a small road, overlooking a beautiful beach. Breakfast offered a wide
choice and usually got us through the day with no need for anything
else substantial before an evening meal. During our stay we ate there
twice in the evening, enjoying the beautiful beach location. Prices
were middle of the range and I thought the food was better than the
‘Happy Elephant’. I’d also recommend the ‘Blue Samui’ (turn left out
of Smile and follow beach road up to main road) and one of the two
indian restaurants (turn right out of Smile, then on the right towards
end of the village). There’s also a great pancake maker at the junction
where the entry road meets the beach road! The general Bophut area
suited us well. There were plenty of other holiday makers but it easily
managed to seem quiet and relaxed. We would definitely go to Bophut
and Smile House again! |

Smile House Resort, Bophut Beach
Lovely place, would highly recommend it, great swimming pool (1 small
and 1 large) and beautiful gardens. We stayed in a deluxe bungalow
which was perfect. We were a couple and there were lots of kids about
which can be noisy at times. Smile is in a great spot, just on edge
of Bophut fishermans village where there are pubs,restaurants, shops
etc, but not noisy from them. Beach good for us as deep to swim in
but may not be great for kids. plenty of other ones nearby though.
Staff friendly, good taxi service to airport at 4.45 am. Restaurant
a little expensive though, but so is most food on Samui. All in all
very happy |

We hebben een erg ontspannen verblijf gehad in Smile House Resort;
het is een park dat vlak aan zee ligt, met een stuk of veertig verschillende
soorten huisjes in een mooie tropische tuin, waar ook 2 zwembaden
in liggen. Wij hadden zo n grote met 3 slaapkamers (3 tieners met
hun ouders); prima service; goed ontbijt; badhanddoeken werden zelfs
elke dag vervangen. Het park ligt ook erg prettig, aan de rand van
Bo Phut. Als je rechts het resort uit loopt, zit je direct in een
gezellige straat met tientallen cafés en restaurants, en het park
zelf is stil. Super gewoon. Er waren in deze periode franse, engelstalige,
nederlandse en een paar duitse gasten. |

Very nice Resort. Very beautiful bunglows. We had two: one for the
kids with two bedrooms (bathroom each) and living room and one for
us: bedroom and bathroom. Both bungalows have a nice terrace. Airco
is working well. Garden is beautiful and the bungalows are situated
in this garden. Sea not far. Two small swimming pools. Restaurant
OK. Breakfast OK, but no oriental breakfast however. Rolf van Hees

Smile House Resort, Bophut Beach
Great resort so close to the fishermans village. The rooms were cleaned
daily by very friendly staff. We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath terrace
and it was more than adequate for us. The breakfast was basic buffet
style, and provided everything that our family needed. The location
of the resort was fabulous, Bo Phut is perfect for families, couples
or people just wanting to take a break from the hussle and bustle,
yet action is only 10 mins down the road by bus or taxi. There is
also a great selection of restaurants both Thai and Western and massage
parlours both on the beach and air conditioned everywhere. The beach
was not all that great but once again 10-15 mins down the road are
some lovely beaches - which was great for a morning out. We got very
little hassle from sellers on the beach in Po Phut but in Chaewang
they won t leave you alone. 2 pools to choose from (one of whcih was
being retiled for most of the time we were there). Lots of other children
at the resort to help entertain our kids. I would thoroughly recommend
this resort to anyone wanting to relax while on holiday on Koh Samui!! |
