Had a 2 week stay at this hotel and from the moment we arrived it was amazing. Staff are very friendly, attentive and professional. All the food in the hotel (and believe me we tried pretty much all of it) was brilliant. Short walk along the beach to Bophut Fishing village with more bars, restaurants and shops. Only negative was that the holiday ended too early. Would definitely go back.

Stayed at Popppies for 12 nights - what a wonderful place. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful - starting right from the pickup from the airport with cold drinks and face cloths in the taxi. It is situated in an ideal location right on the beach in the middle of all the amenities - but sufficiently secluded as to believe you were in a little oasis cut off from the rest of the busy resort. Loved the little personal touches of the place and its uniqueness - would definitely recommend...

This is a lovely property with a great bunch of staff. Room was spacious and kept clean.
It’s a bit further from fisherman’s village than I anticipated but exceptional we’re always happy to arrange a taxi for us . We ate lunch here twice and it was great, good quality and served with a smile.

When traveling to the other side of then globe, it's nice to know that you'll be welcomed when you get there. To say that the staff at Rocky's were all accommodating would be an understatement.
From our fantastic room to the private boat tour to scooter rentals, there wasn't a thing we were want for. The private beach was a major plus, as it's great to have you own little space away from it all.
I almost don't want the "secret" of Rocky's to get out, as this was one of the most enjoyable...

Best place to stay in Koh Samui. Fantastic rooms, hotel immaculate, staff so friendly, great choice of breakfast, Thai, European , British, and a la carte. The hot items for breakfast could be warmer though. Great beach location and the only place to stay in this area of Koh Samui

What a place! The location is high up on a mountain with amazing views. You are given round the clock usage of private cars which the drivers take you where you want to go, mostlyis courtsey. Each villa is individual and all with traditional Thai decor. We stayed in Camellia villa which has fantastic ocean views and it’s own plunge pool.

I had a lovely relaxing time at the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff made for an enjoyable time. Lovely room and pool with the beach close by.
A large spread was available for breakfast. A very nice start to the day.
Occasionally I found a staff member that could not grasp what I was asking in English.
I treated myself to a manicure at the Zense Spa. I regretted my choice as I could have done a much better job with a pair of nail clippers.

We absolutely fell in love with this place! Ok, so it was not in perfect decorative order but it really was so lovely! The staff are so lovely and helpful and the place was kept clean. The location was absolutely ideal - quiet at night but close enough to Chaweng nightlife.
We enjoyed the beach, massages and great local food during the day and Chaweng in the evening.

What is a historic hotel like in Koh Samui?
A historic hotel gives guests the chance to stay in a building that has been officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest.

The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
