Amarin Samui Hotel

We really liked the room layout. It had 2 balconies and 2 air conditioners. The view was good. We liked watching animals coming from a farm. A DVD player in the room and a good choice of movies in English on the reception. Staff are mostly helpful and polite, but don't seem to go beyond their basic responsibilities. Location is passable. It takes to walk about a kilometer to be able to get a good shady spot on the beach, because most of the area around is occupied by "private beaches". Walking street is in walking distance.

Someone tried to break into our room. It happened 2 days before checkout at 9:30AM. The room service was not requested, and we did not receive any prior notice. Before I got to the door and answered, a woman opened the door lock and tried to remove the security chain. Later at the lobby they told me that it was the room service who mixed up rooms, but they couldn't explain me why they did not knock and continued attempts to break in when it became clear that someone is inside. There's only one elevator in the building. It was frequently taken by a laundry service, so we had to wait a few loops before we can use it. Once we happened to return to the hotel when the elevator was under maintenance. Breakfast, including fruits, was bad. It tasted like leftovers from yesterday's lunch.

The hotel was cheaper in comparison to others on the island.

The breakfast was dreadful. We saw a COCKROACH near the breadbasket! The bed was quite hard and the room had a general stink to it that semi went away when the airconditioning was on for long enough... It was located on a very busy main road with very little to do around the hotel.

We ordered room with the balcony and the view. But we get the room in hotel corner straight to other building conditioners ant the balcony was a half balcony without a view. It was very noisy and dark room. I asked staff to change our room because we did not get what we ordered but they always said: We're fully booked we're sorry but from booking.com i saw that I can order same quality room. It was very unfair and the staff was unhelpful. Please don't cheat with photos on booking page!
