Claire Bennett  2007-10-08 until 2007-10-18	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach I thorughly enjoyed my stay at the White House. The staff were really friedly and helpful. The room was nice, cleaned every day and complimentary fruit and water was left. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a relaxing time by the beach.
Holger Herzberger  2007-10-06 until 2007-10-17	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach We can recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday. It has a beautiful garden, the stuff is really nice. Everything was fine.
ุyvind Askedal  2007-10-02 until 2007-10-14	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach This is a nice resort in the middle of the Choeng Mon beach. I stayed here for 11 nights recently and found both the hotel and the staff very satisfying. We stayed in the junior-suite wich is ok. I don t know what makes it a suite comparing to the other ordinary rooms, but maybe we got a DVD-player or a better location to the pool.. The beds are somewhat hard and the bathroom could need an upgrade. Everyday we had fruit or tea and bisquits served + newspaper. There were also TV with several international channels and a minibar + coffee-fascilities. The resort is a bit compressed, having no big areas or green lawns. It only has one main-street between the villas down to a pool and restaurant. The restaurant is very nice. Many choice of dinners (both thai and international) and drinks. Wine is expensive, but that s the way all over Thailand. From the restaurant you re just metres from the lovely beach and sea. Almost every night the restaurant serves delicsious fish (I tasted shark and lobster - very good) on the beach. They actually move the restaurant out on the beach and bring nice candles lights and live guitar-music. Very romtantic :-). The staff is truely amazing! They were cleaning the pool when we first got there, but it was ready for a swim some days later. It is a nice pool, and not to crowded. Although I could imagine it beeing somewhat different in high-season times. Not to big pool either, but ok. Choeng Mon beach is a very clean and small beach (about 1-2 km) with no problem with low or high tide water. It is not a snorkling-place - the water is not clear as you might think (please visit Koh Tao/NangYang Island if snorkling is you re favourite thing - Samui is nothing) You can rent kayakk or jet skies on the beach. There are also a handfull other restaurants on the beach, but the White House restaurant is both cheap and nice compared to the others.. They also have thai-massage all over the beach + tailors. The staff and reception were great. Unfortunately not everyone speaks fluid english, but in most times it was never a problem. They can also arrange for taxies, tours and other things for you (it may be better than strolling the streat outside and get a bad tour-deal etc.) Chaweng is 300Baht (one way) away with local taxi. Choeng Mon centre (just outside the hotel) is nothing particular and never a place you would go shopping. There is a nice 7/11 nearby where you can buy grosceries. There are also ATM-maschines out on the street. I d still prefer Chaweng for shopping or a nice restaurant visit. My conclusion: OK things: - Value for money - Friendly and great staff - Clean rooms - Nice location by the nice and calm Choeng Mon beach - Good restaurant with good food and great staff - Never lack of towels or sun-beds (by pool or beach) Bad things: - Bathroom needs an upgrade (nothing wrong, just needs a fresh up) - Very compressed resort (no big areas or places for the kids to be) - Dogs on the beach (but I think this is all over the island) - Many sellers on the beach (if you don t like them, as I do)
Joakim Ganse  2007-09-17 until 2007-09-22	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach Very nice beach for relaxing and for children. The hotel is also very nice but but be sure to pick the right room. We booked the suite and it was located far away from the beach and with one steep staircase up. We changed to a superior room closer to the beach witch satisfied our needs much better. I would try to book the junior suits that is placed next to the pool. The buffet breakfast was very good. Staff is very helpful but not so good at English so be sure to explain so they understand. Cheap and good massage at the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
Friedhelm  2007-09-10 until 2007-09-14	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach The place is really beautiful. the tropical garden is fantastic. We stayed in a ground level garden suite and the room was - in our opinion - a little bit dark, we would recommend to take a 1st floor suite. Room and bath were clean, the whole service was fine, pleasant and helpful. Beach is fine and sandy and for families with children this place would be perfect. The restaurant at the beach offers good food. We stayed for 4 days and we enjoyed being there.
Olianne og Asgeir, Norway  2007-09-08 until 2007-09-20	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach Lovley hotel! Not the most luxurious, but wery good location at the Choengmoon beach with wery helpful and friendly staff. We were a bit dissapointed because we ordered a room with two bedroom because of the children. When we got our room the door between the rooms where broken. It was unpossible to close and could not be fixed. But because we had a room with poolwiew, so children could sleep at daytime when we used babycall and stayed in the pool. There are only two rooms with directly wiew to the pool, so you better order early if you like one of them. (I strongly recomend if you have small children.) There is very little/ no sun in the garden between the other rooms, and be aware of long stairs to get to 2 floor rooms. If there is something missing at this place, it must be a relaxinplace to sit outside rooms. The restaurant is wery good, and staff wery helpful. The beach is the best on Koh Samui if you have children, -wery calm water here. Visit the massage ladies on the beach, very good and lot cheaper than at hotel. Not to much to do at night, everything was closed at 11 o clock. Recomend the taylor across the street KING S TAYLOR. They give you best price and quality on the clothes.(We tryed differents.) Recomend this place if you like small, cosy hotels, and care for a good beach. Quiet place, but near by Chaweng and Boputh if you like some moore action! Here you can relax!!! Love to go back.
ABASSAY  2007-09-05 until 2007-09-11	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach Very nice place to stay. Very Quiet,beatifulbeaches and white sand. Excellent staff particularly Tao and Jiew who are always helpfull and with a large smile. This hotel is the best place for familly. Thanks a lot for this pleasant moment!!
Mr.William Calcagni  2007-07-29 until 2007-08-02	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach I was disappointed in the White House. I thought it was overpriced for the quality of the room and the hotel. We had a Junior Suite and the first room we were given smelled so musty that we had to request another room. The room was in need of refurbishment. Overall, I would choose a different hotel next time.
Elisabeth and Robert  2007-06-09 until 2007-06-14	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach We stayed one night in the Junior Suite and the rest in the Changdao Suite. Would recommend the Junior Suite. The Changdao Suite does look very nice in Thai Ayutthaya Style (everything wood, nice statues,...), but you hear everything around you and everybody can hear everything from you. And the suite is close to the reception,so it is far away from the beach. In the Junior Suite we got a honeymoon welcome with rose blossoms all over the room and a heart made of rose blossoms on the bed and a huge flower basket. Fruits or pinapple cookies every day on the room, the resort itself with lots of plants everywhere, very nice. Restaurant is definately overpriced, same quality but much cheaper at the next restaurant just 20 meters away. The beach is fine, but very flat. At least 5 tailors on Choengmon Beach, but no other shops besides Seven 11 and 2 small local shops and a pharmacy. Not a good place if you want action or shopping possibilities, but good place to relax. Would recommend it.
Mary Davies  2007-05-04 until 2007-05-09	White House Beach Resort & Spa, Choeng Mon Beach The gardens, pool area and beach were lovely, and there were an excellent variety of foods for breakfast, as I d expected from the reviews and internet research. I was a little dissapointed to see a jet ski hire set up on the beach as I was expecting it to be a quiet location. None-the-less, it was a great spot for swimming and getting some rays. We stayed in the Thai Suite as we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. The staff had gone to a great deal of effort to decorate the bed with flower petals, and there was a fresh flower arrangement in the room - both of which were lovely. The daily delivery of papers, tea and biscuits or fruit were also refreshing touches. The negative aspects relate to the suite. Although the private courtyard and deck chairs were great, the suite was unfortunately quite dark, musty smelling and leaked badly in serveral places in the living area after a heavy down pour (which probably explained the smell), and we had lots of mosquitos to contend with inside - despite the screens. The other rooms within the resort are much newer and may not have these some problems.
