"Felt like home"

"The room was great. Comfortable bed and sofa. The pool was clean and well kept - loved a good swim. The breakfast had a good selection and the staff were super helpful. I’d stay here again in a heart beat. "

"After reading some reviews I was a bit worried about staying here, but honestly we we had a fabulous stay here. A large group of us stayed for 11 nights and were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We were given connecting rooms with direct access to the lower pool. The rooms were very large, the air con great and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The room service was quick and easy, the food was tasty and the pool bar was lovely. They are doing the hotel up in stages, but we couldn’t fault it. All the staff were amazing, really friendly and very helpful. We had a small issue with a leak in one of the bathrooms and called reception and people turned up within in minutes to fix it - this is just one example of how great the staff were. Yes, as some reviews have said it’s on the older side, but we loved our time here. It’s away from the main hustle of the centre which was perfect for us as we could walk down the beach if we wanted to. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

"Really well looked after by all the staff and our villa hosts Lee and Janine. Would definitely visit again had a great relaxing time."

"We had a lovely stay at this hotel in Koh Samui. The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The pool was clean and inviting, and we really appreciated the complimentary use of the kayak, which was a fun bonus. Housekeeping was very accommodating, and all the staff were consistently helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The location was convenient, with a 7-Eleven and motorbike rental just a short walk away, making it easy to grab essentials or get around the island. That said, walking around the area was a bit challenging due to the lack of proper sidewalks, and dining options nearby were limited, with only a couple of nice restaurants within easy reach. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, especially for those planning to explore Koh Samui by motorbike or relax by the pool with a view."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing stay at Secret Garden Beach Resort in Koh Samui! The room was beautiful, modern, and very private, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant had delicious, reasonably priced food, and if you want to explore, there are plenty of other great eating options nearby, including convenience stores like 7-Eleven just steps away. The beach is absolutely stunning, with easy access right from the resort. The front desk helped us book day trips to nearby islands, making everything smooth and hassle-free—they know which piers to use and provide good prices, which is such a time-saver. While I would have loved kayak rentals nearby, and jet skis and hydroboards are pricey (though fun to watch!), the massages were very reasonable, and the pool is cute, even if most people will spend their time on the beach. The hotel decor is gorgeous, and walking through the property feels like stepping into a lush, peaceful oasis. The bathrooms were beautiful, and the free breakfast was excellent—no need to pre-order, just enjoy it when you’re ready. The staff went above and beyond, including helping my group get to a day trip on short notice, which was amazing. The casual, relaxed vibe of the resort makes it feel welcoming and stress-free. Overall, this resort offers great value, stunning beach access, excellent food, and amazing staff. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Samui!"

"Good size clean Basic rooms super friendly and helpful staff that go above and beyond. Would 100% stay again "

"We had a beachfront room which was perfect - the pool was amazing and the beach was right beyond the pool. The food and service was excellent. All the staff at this hotel was wonderful! It was a short cab ride to Fisherman's village which we liked. And the area was relatively quiet which we also liked."

"I really enjoyed my stay and even booked an additional night stay. Only a couple of minor issues. One was easily corrected, the second issue was upon check in i was given an email for a free coconut. The manager explained that was the previous ownerships offer and wasnt included. Pretty odd outcome, but honestly everyone amd everything was splendid. Will return! Great job"
