Gulf of Thailand Cheap Holidays

We recently stayed at The Briza Resort and Spa in Koh Samui and had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the service provided by Ken and his team was nothing short of fabulous. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, and their warm, friendly approach made us feel so welcome. Everyone at the resort was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, always ready with great recommendations on where to eat and what to see around Koh Samui. We booked a two-bedroom villa, which was extremely spacious and well equipped — perfect for a family stay. The comfort and practicality of the villa made it easy to relax and enjoy our holiday. If we had to mention any downsides, it would be that the beds were a little on the hard side and you couldn't walk straight out to a beach. That said, these were very minor points compared to the overall experience. The affordability of the resort, combined with the excellent service and lovely atmosphere, made it an outstanding choice for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Briza Resort and Spa and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Samui.

There were a few teething problems at the start of this stay. The Salinda pickup at the airport wasn’t ideal as I was waiting over 20 mins for other guests to arrive, after a long flight I just wanted to get there! So in the end I got a Grab and made myself to the resort. Not a great start. The welcome when I arrived was OK, free juices and a cold towel. The room was beautiful and the premium sea view room certainly lived up to the name. Housekeeping staff were excellent. The breakfast buffet is nice, a little more variety would be good. The staff at breakfast were efficient and professional. Although the uniforms that the women wore were something out of the handmaids tale, and they all wore crocs!! Someone needs to rethink this! The hotel itself is showing signs of aging and could do with a refresh. Carpets stained and frayed, not exactly 5 star. The cyan pool beach bar - the food was not good nor was it Vietnamese in anyway. Which was disappointing. The pool is large and salt water is great, however there was no real service to get a drink, there is a flag to raise when you want service but no one comes. On several occasions I had to go to the bar to order and the wait staff were just standing around talking ignoring the guests. Overall it was a pleasant stay, but not a 5 star resort in my opinion.

Breakfast was awesome...staff super helpful...two 7-11's within a minute walk...easy to get a taxi...great local restaurants and massage shops within a minute walk...traffic guards to get to the pool/beach. Would absolutely stay there again.

Everyone here was so welcoming on arriving and nothing was too much trouble. Farah who met me gave lots of tips as to where to eat Mr Kai’s kitchen was a great recommendation. The massages were very reasonably priced and excellent too. It’s a great location very close to Fisherman’s Village and as a single female traveller I felt very safe there

Property looking tired and dated. Pool under renovation.
