Bay Thani Samui Resort

Overall I really enjoyed my stay at Bay Thani Samui Resort. Place was really clean & extremely well maintained. Each & every single staff were so helpful & couldn't do enough for you.

My only dislike was my room location... it was right at the very top of the hill. It was like trying to climb Mount Everest trying to get to it.

Unusually we had booked breakfast which turned out to be good with three choices and plenty toast etc. The location also suited us as it is away from the noise from the bars in town. The setting was very pretty with lots of trees and greenery. The staff were great and always happy to get towels for the pool and generally really helpful. There are free safe deposit boxes available. The pool is great for swimming as it’s large and deep.

The first room we were shown which admittedly was one of their cheaper ones smelled very damp so we paid a bit more and got a very sweet looking traditional wooden house. However I don’t think they were expecting it to be used so it hadn’t had a recent clean as it was much better the next day.The towels often smelled damp from the laundry as though they hadn’t been dried properly and the spare pillows in the wardrobe smelled old so you probably wouldn’t want to use them if you needed a second pillow. The TV stations are very limited but that doesn’t seem to be unusual in a lot of places. The hotel is built on a very steep hill so you need to be pretty fit if your room is at the top which ours was though it does mean you get organised when you go down for breakfast and you do get the sounds of the birds up there with you in the morning . There is an odd random selection of tables and chairs around the pool and it could generally do with a tidy up and the sun beds are tired. You take your life in your hands crossing the main road to get to the town as it is very busy. This obviously isn’t the hotels fault and you can’t hear the noise in the hotel but just to be aware of it.
