Pavilion Samui Villas & Resort

Super attentive staff and clean rooms. Beach Access. Restaurant and bar. Haris the bartender is the best!!! It was a slow night so we got to talk to him for a few hours and he was a gem! Free snacks at the bar as well (bar nuts and fish chips) that were delicious!

Being the first time visiting Koh Samui, my husband and I was unsure about which hotel to pick for our trip. Many hotels have great photos and reviews online, but may not live up to expectations when you actually go there. We only planned to stay 3 nights in Pavilion, but because of the exceptionally great service, location, and everything overall, we ended up extending our stay with 9 more nights! The resort has a great vibe and look, overall well maintained and with beautiful artwork, plants and sculptures. The architecture is great too. It's really cozy to walk along the different sections of the resort when going from the reception to the beach. The resort is quiet and the atmosphere relaxing, making it perfect for a rejuvenating vacation. The service is really great and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that you are having a great time! Everyone is really kind and attentive to detail. There is also a security guard on the beach, who will assist you if you need anything! The beach area is the best in Lamai beach. Honestly when walking up and down the beach and seeing all the other resorts, one could tell that Pavilion has the best beach area! First of all, they take really good care of the cleanliness. There is no rubbish or filth lying around. It also felt safe to walk, there was no broken glass lying around. Secondly, they really ensure you are in most comfort while at the beach, be it helping you adjust the beach chair or serving delicious drinks. There is a policy about not accepting beach vendors, and the staff will assist you if there are any issues with the vendors. I really like how the Pavilion is trying to create a private and safe beach area where you can relax this way. Btw just say "Mai ao krab/kha" and the vendors will leave you alone. Don't accept them, their prices are insane compared to the shops just next to the Pavilion resort. If you want to go to the best resort in this price range in Lamai Beach or Koh Samui, go to Pavilion. Out of traveling to various other places in Thailand, this has been the best experience for us and as mentioned we decided to extend our stay just because we loved it here so much! ❤️ We feel so taken care of, relaxed and happy, and will definitely come back here if we go to Koh Samui again in the future. I could write a book about all the good things about this place!!!
