Lovely quiet resort and nice little pool. The beach is nice but you can’t really swim because of rocks but we just enjoyed pool time. It’s also just a couple of quid ride to the night market and all the eateries and stalls so a good little position. Food and drink nice at resort too. Our room was huge with a lounge and kitchen with little terrace and hanging chair - gorgeous! Staff were ALL so lovely :)
Got upgraded to the Royal suite- fantastic. Yut and his team really looked after us, great recommendations for what to do with the kids Around Samui and great restaurant too. Great swimming pool and well maintained facilities, not easy to do given the virus has shut so much down on the island. Beach view and kayaks to use, but the beach is not swimmable.

Thank you very much for your kind words! Happy to hear that you had a good time with us and we hope to welcome you back one day! With the best wishes from all of us at Royal Beach Samui
Every thing was idyllic staff fantastic location away from the hussle and bussle but walking distance to larmi and chewang a short back truck ride away. Breakfast superb
Wonderful hotel. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Room fantastic, food very good (breakfast is extremely good). Only (minor) criticism is the service at breakfast declined a bit when they had several guests eating at the same time.
Great location, wonderful views, peaceful, and within walking distance of one of Samui’s best seafood restaurants (for both taste and price). We’ve stayed here 4 days and eaten here 4 days.

The service was sublime they really go to an effort to make sure you having an enjoyable time. They offer you little gifts, little touches to make you feel looked after. The resort is clean and very well maintained. In a great spot if you want to have a retreat from the bustle of Lamai. Spent time on the beach and had the entire beach to myself. Great Stay!!!

The service from the reception to breakfast was excellent. Staff were very courteous and accommodating. Private beach but a bit rocky. Our villa was right in front of the pool

Nice rooms although beds really hard. Staff try to be helpful but many don’t speak English or understand you which can be frustrating but they were all very sweet and tried to help. Resort could be amazing but all outside facilities including the gym are tired and could do with attention. Beach bare was only manned half of the time we were there and beds on beach dirty and also hard. Having said all that we had a very pleasant stay! I would recommend still. The pool is lovely for kids and adults and all guests that we spoke to were happy with their stay too.

I’ve stayed all over Thailand, this was my third visit to the country. Royal Beach was by far the nicest accommodations I’ve been to. If I’m back in the area I would love to stay again. The staff were amazing.

Our family holiday at Royal Beach was fantastic. We are a family of four with two young boys and the facilities were excellent. The beach was clean, pool clean, room quiet and comfortable, staff friendly and helpful and it helped to male this a great holiday in Koh Samui. We hired a car to get around the island which was organised by reception, who couldn’t do enough to make our stay pleasant.

Appreciate your feedback and looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.
The room was comfortable and the breakfast was really good with plenty of choices made to order. The staff were friendly although sometimes a little slow at making cocktails. The pool, bar and beach areas were nice as was the restaurant which gave a sea view. The location wasn't great, it was about a 5 minute car ride or 25 min walk to Lamai center and beach but the hotel had a driver onsite to take you where ever you want (at a cost) so you didn't have to wait around for a taxi. On arrival we got complimentary ice cream which was a nice touch. We would stay here again.
The hotel is located a few miles from Lamai Beach, center of town, on a private small beach. It shows pride of ownership throughout the property: grounds are maintained immaculatly and staff attentive to guests. On-site restaurant has great quality of food, romantic dinner set up and music at night. The breakfast was wonderful. The bungalow we stayed feels a bit small, but the hotel experience more than compensated it!
It's located on a terrible stonish beach shore, south from Lamai beach. Taxis in koh samui are extremely expensive what make this hotel even less attractive. They try to be fancy but they are not!!! They are absolutely amatures and far away from that. Breakfast is super Lame!! The matress was awful, BAD value for money. Try to share my thoughts and feelings with the nice receptionist but except of smiling at me did not had anything to say. Even the manager didn't came to talk to us. The staff was extremely nice.
Big, clean, modern room. Great view of the ocean from our balcony. Clean pool with lots of pool loungers. Staff was friendly and polite. Breakfast was delicious, though some days the cooked food wasn't hot enough. (If you eat outside, beware of birds trying to steal your food!) Beach was clean and private. Great swimming in the ocean. Not enough loungers near the beach. Lots of seating at bar area near beach. Absolutely loved this place, and definitely would go again!

Just returned from a 10 day stay here, Vince and staff were very attentive to our every need. I had taken my partner there for her 50th birthday and all staff played a part in making it the most amazing holiday and birthday for her. The Royal Beach Resort was very peaceful and tranquil, only 5 min's in a taxi took you to many bars and restaurants. We are already discussing another holiday there. It is well worth the visit.

Great hotel with nice views but...
Hotel was great but bed was a disappointment. We indicated kingsize bed but the hotel just arranged 2 beds to be joined together. Rather uncomfortable to sleep in.
Beautiful hotel with wonderfully friendly staff. It's away from town and the beach is small and rocky but it's a fantastic place for a few days away from it all.
This hotel was all i expected. a good standard, clean, a pool and a beach. Unfortunately the breakfast was a little limited, as same noodles and rice dish very day, and little fruit, still a nice breakfast, but I have seen better.
If you crave western breakfast you will be happy with the food.
After a month of traveling in south east Asia were were so pleased to arrive at this resort for some relaxation. The hotel location and facilities were great! There were very few people on the beach which made for an exceptionally peaceful stay. The hotel staff were fantastic and we would highly recommend this resort!
Lovely situation overlooking the southern part of Lamai Beach. Small and quiet and all rooms appeared excellent but we were fortunate enough to be upgraded to the honeymoon suite with a Jacuzzi on the deck and the most amazing views. The service was faultless and facilities excellent. The staff and extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.
Friendly staff and quiet surroundings were main attractions. Pool was great and very clean. Afternoon cocktails by the pool were mandatory for my daughter and myself. While we were there not many people frequented the beach bar but we found it excellent, also food in dining room was good for evening meals. Beach itself was kept very clean and looks pretty but too rocky for swimming so we walked to Lamai Beach a few times (about 15mins). Have to be careful walking on road as lots of traffic and no proper footpath Weather in July was good (dont take too much notice of the forecast- although it rained a couple of times it was only for 5 mins or so). All in all a pleasant experience - would recommend the hotel for couples or anyone wanting a laid back holiday.
We were over for a family wedding and between us we took approx 10 suites. Personally we stayed in the Jacuzzi Suite which is pictured online for their advertising and it was a nice room and a nice setting, the staff were very pleasant and polite but there were a few things that stop me from saying it was perfect and those are as follows:-
1) The shower in the corner had a very poor drainage system and would spill over on the floor tiles causing a slip hazard. The other shower over the bath had a design flaw which was when the water from the shower would splash and pool around the bath edge subsequently having no where to drain to other than the floor. So either shower you used could cause slip hazard on the tiled floor.
Due to this point my partner slipped in the bathroom with a glass in their hand, this smashed on the floor and my partner banged their head on the bathroom door as the room is not huge.
We did not at this point see the first points as an issue until check out when the receptionist charged us for the glass 200 TB which is approx £4 which for Thailand was very expensive. Upon leaving though we got a taxi booked through the receptionist, in the taxi my partner raised the fact they were charged for the glass which frustrated me as it was only smashed due to their inadequate bathing facilities not draining and causing the slip hazard. I told my partner they should have refused to pay and that the staff should be grateful we were not claiming for the slip due to th
