Sai Kaew Beach Resort

The staff were amazingly friendly and very helpful. The resort restaurant on the beach is fantastic. The food and drinks were great and the layout and view are amazing. The atmosphere was terrific and sitting by the ocean at night is so relaxing. The beach area is great. A few more sun lounges would be great as they were difficult to get by midday. I've never been to Koh Samed before but after this we will be back. Our resort fronted a beautiful, clean white sand beach and the layout of the whole resort is fantastic. I've been to Koh Samui, Phuket and Phi Phi but this was my favourite beach place so far in Thailand. Great for families and kids. No real surf to speak of so very safe for swimming.

The staff were brilliant and friendly. The location of the resort was fantastic and the layout of the resort was good.

Great location close to the bigger public beach and "main street" with a bunch of restaurants and services. Lovely little private beach with barely any other guests during the time we visited (late Nov). Also pools for those who prefer them. It seemed like there would be bars at the private beach and at one of the pools but they weren't open. Breakfast was nice and versatile - the only thing I missed was green tea, as there was only a brewed pot of black tea available (no tea bags). Deluxe cottage wasn't big but served its purpose. Nice sea view! We also had a lizard visitor one night and tried to get it out ourselves but gave up after about a half an hour and called the reception close to midnight. They sent someone over who grabbed the little guy and released it outside. The fact that they had a note saying you can call staff to get rid of lizard visitors teels me this probably happens quite a lot :D

What did I like: - breakfast; buffet style with a lot of choice. - restaurant; they have a very good cook and the food for lunch or supper was sublime. - beach; well just fantastic, with a very good drinks and snack service. - room; classic and clean. - staff; very nice people. I had a very good relaxing holiday here and completely de-stressed. Would I do it again? Yes - Will I return again? No, as there are many other places to visit. Thank you for a good holiday. Ha, better to bring a nice gal instead of travelling here alone like I did.

Perfect location right on a white Sandy beach with beautiful calm sea . The room was good. Gardens lovely. Good breakfast and lovely pools. Only a five minute walk to the Main Street where you can get a great Thai massage for £6 an hour . All the staff friendly and helpful.
