Sans Souci Samui - SHA Plus

Everything was as advertised - the location itself is worth staying here. Steps away from the beach, the breakfast with the view, squirrels playing in the palm trees in the garden. Staff were really nice, breakfast was great and varied, European or Asian. Room large, a lot of space, as well as the bathroom, AC worked well, patio in front was useful to leave the shoes and the beach towels (provided by the hotel).

WiFi could have been better. Streaming was regrettably not possible in the room. In the restaurant - yes. So, that is my only complaint about the hotel. Now, about Chewang Beach - this is the East Coast, so sunrises are amazing. I got up every morning and took a walk on the beach sunrise time - just priceless, especially since there were very few tourists around and everything was really quiet and peaceful. However, the beach is pretty much gone by the noon. High tide. There is another beach just down the "road" from this one, short walk away, where I would go, that was broader and lasted longer vs. the waves, so I did not lack the beach in the afternoon.

Large rooms with comfy bed. Green location, great value, on the beach.

The hotel is great. Unfortunately (as of February 2022 ) the town looks like a war zone, with 85% of businesses permanently closed. Covid has not been kind to this location. Glad I moved on to Koh Phangan which has, thanks to its large expat community, largely escaped the ravages of covid. But if you want to chill on the beach and have great value, then you can't fault the hotel.

We had one of the two beachfront rooms and it was absolutely incredible - waking up to that view every morning was amazing. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Rooms are traditional old Thai style and their air con worked perfectly. Cleaning staff worked so hard and the mini bar was appreciated. The location is away from the craziness but equally only a 10 min walk to, if that's your thing. Really great gent doing laundry about 30m away from the hotel.

My Thai is absolutely horrendous and the receptionist and some key staff didn't have the best English. You got by ok but sometimes it was challenging. Not the hotel's fault but you could hear the banging tunes most nights - does stop reasonably early though. Oh and be careful of the bike hire that the hotel recommends - they (hire company) tried to con us saying the scooters had damage but we had taken videos upon receipt and they changed their tune pretty quickly. This is common place in Thailand and not the hotel's fault - just a word of warning.

The hotel is among the nicest places we’ve been. Very easygoing and chill atmosphere with a beautifully maintained garden. They got an outdoor library, some pets (a couple of dogs, a cat and some turtles) that add to that homey atmosphere. Rooms are not supermodern, but comfy. No pool but who needs a pool when you got the most tranquil beach right in front of you? Good breakfast served alacarte and wonderful staff that seem to love the place too. Location a bit away from things but there’s a restaurant at premises with good food, and there’s also a couple of alright places nearby up and down the road. If you’re in for some awesomeness get up before the birds and experience the sunrise on the beach. Thanks for a good time, we’re definitely coming back.

The staff at this hotel was excellent. There was a bit of language difficulties but bearing in mind that English is not their first language it was not really an issue for us. They went out of their way to assist and nothing was too much effort. Rooms was spacious and clean. Provided soft drinks and water every day and the room was properly cleaned every morning. Hotel is right on a lovely beach. Hotel is not close to the hussle and bustle of Chaweng beach. This can easy be reached by taxi but most of the time we walked along the beach to reach this. Breakfast offered many choices. We (8 friends) had breakfast included. We stayed for 6 nights of which only two nights we did not eat at the hotel. The prices of dishes were a bit more that the local restaurants but the choices and quality was excellent

All of us could not think of something to complain about

We had a great stay at the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe double room and it was very nice. The balcony with the direct sea view was awesome. The room was cleaned and filled up with two bottles of water everyday. The breakfast was awesome. It was á la carte and everything was so delicious. The staff was always very nice and helpful, and in a good mood all the time. That was a very relaxing atmosphere. The beachfront was really the nicest from the whole Chaweng beach. The staff took care of their beachfront every morning and cleaned it. The rest of Chaweng beach (with just a few exceptions) was very dirty. At the Sans Souci Samui it was like paradise and worth every cent we paid. There are also turtles at the hotel we watched everyday and we also were allowed to hold them one time. It was so nice! We can highly recommend the hotel and if we will someday come back to Koh Samui we would book this hotel again.

Where to start?! Everything was perfect! 10/10! It is probably one of my favorite places by far! The staff is so friendly that it feels like staying with family and the owner is so nice as well! The rooms(little houses) are so comfy and CLEAN!!!The garden is amazing, there are lots of cute animals: Koi fishes, baby turtles, a cat, Boo (the dog) and even squirrels! They clean the room everyday, change the bed sheets and bring fresh water and fresh towels (also fresh towels for the beach)- even on the day of our checkout! The breakfast was exceptional!! the best one we had in Thailand- they have EVERYTHING! They also make the best smoothies! Now for the location, it is just perfect! Right next to the best beach. (After walking around other beaches, we decided to stay at this beach for all the remaining days!) Breathtaking! 100% recommend!!! WILL COME BACK HERE!

The room was nice and spacious and in a perfect location within the resort where I could hear the soothing sound of the waves. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great...I could even take my fruit back to my room for later! Geographic location of the resort was perfect - far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk or catch a tuk tuk to everything. A few great restaurants very close to the property and 7 Eleven, chemists just down the road. Beach in front of the resort was perfect! Best part of Chaweng beach - very clean and quiet.

More like what's not to like - it was perfect!

The staff were so lovely, we had to change accomodation last minute and booked this 20mins before we arrived. They set us up with towels and drinks on the beach whilst preparing our room for us. There were complimentary drinks in the room and the towels were lovely. It was a 20sec walk to the beach from our room and the sea wasn't rocky which some other resorts are according to reviews we have read. The room was huge and the bed was divine, we both slept so so well! Will definately stay here again if we are ever back on the island

It was a 20min walk to the main town which wasn't an issue for us but may be for others. There also isnt a pool which wasnt a problem but something to take into account in case its important to you. The breakfast was okay.

The owner and staff are wonderful and very friendly. We felt really welcome and well looked after. My husband was unwell for one day during our stay and a lady who worked there (who I think may have been the owner) knocked on our door and left a bunch of bananas for my ill husband. They also made sure that I had some fruit to take with me on a day trip when the pickup time was before breakfast. The setting for breakfast is lovely overlooking the sea. The roti pancakes with honey are delicious! The rooms are well maintained and you can hear the waves from the beach (only a few metres away). A great spot if you love animals - there are very friendly and cute dogs and a beautiful garden with a fish pool and tortoises.
