Royal Muang Samui Villas

We had the most wonderful week at Royal Muang Samui Villas. Being shoulder season in mid October, we experienced early morning storms and mostly sunny days. The resort was not too busy, and had a relaxed hum of families and couples enjoying the vibe. We had a week of joyful relaxation. The grounds are established and well tended to. The villas are in traditional Thai style and extremely spacious. The resort has prime beach frontage and in my view, situated in the best spot on the beach. Each morning it is set up with loungers, umbrellas and drinks service. The swimming conditions are very easy and calm, and every day we swam. The Choeng Mon beach strip itself had enough variety for massage, snacks and drinks so you don’t have to wander far. We did visit Chaweng and Fisherman’s Village, and glad to return to Choeng Mon. The airport service for pick up and drop off was a fair price and made our hotel transfers seamless. There are plentiful and tasty breakfast options for all dietary requirements, and as a vegetarian I had a lot of choice. So much care is put into the resort by staff and everyone is very kind and welcoming. Special shout outs to: -Bill, Sit and Lay at breakfast who greeted us daily and ensured we were taken care of; -Ko and Lain and the beach guys who are so hard working and attentive; and -Cathy at reception who is an absolute delight, attended to our preferences and made our time incredibly memorable! With so many options on Samui, this resort was a stand out for its authenticity, vibe, personalised experience, value for money and location.

Soooooooooooooo relaxing

A luxurious resort with exceptionally professional and attentive staff. The villa was spotless, beautifully furnished, and featured a private pool. The beach is stunning, the breakfast excellent, and the Fire Zone restaurant offers outstanding cuisine.

The location is suitable for a relaxing holiday. The beach is one of the best on Koh Samui. Everything at the hotel was at a high level

Everything. The most beautiful hotel in Ko Samui

We had an excellent 4 nights in a pool suite room which was massive, beautifully decorated with high quality materials and beautiful touches. The private pool with jetted seats and covered, outdoor patio with couch was the top highlight. It was deep. At 5' 2", I could not stand, and it is large enough that you can actually swim in it, and had colored lights at night. The soaker tub in the bathroom was extremely large and had a waterfall feature and lots of jets. As an example of the materials, I read somewhere prior to my stay that the roofing materials were the last of a traditional local materials and technique. The floors were hardwood, drapes seemed like silk, and wood everywhere including the ceiling. Just gorgeous and it has a real sense of place. I wanted to stay somewhere that would feel like Thailand and not a resort that could be anywhere in the world, and this resort delivered. We enjoyed the pool and covered patio day, night, and on a rainy afternoon. The TV was big and easy to connect our fire stick. They have a drying rack for bathing suits. The fridge is big and has a freezer . The beach is pretty and has lots of eating options along the beach. Different places have free fire shows on different nights. We enjoyed the restaurant Phi Phi best. The swimming is good, though the water cloudier than the crystal clear south chaweng beach, where we stayed for 2 nights. We had no problem getting a beach chair when we wanted one. It didn't feel crowded even though I think it was at high capacity. The resort is lush and beautifully landscaped. They have very good mosquito control. It is a long resort from street to beach that might seem long for some, especially when it is hot. They said they would pick you up on the golf cart if you call. There is a new, huge, state of the art, air-conditioned gym just opened called Legacy gym down the road. The laundry place by 7 eleven was good. The massage place across the street was good. It was easy to go by Grab to Fisherman's village and to Chaweng beach for outings. We used the free shuttle to the sister hotel on chaweng beach when we had the foresight to book the day before. The breakfast had many choices, with a surprise standout being the homemade doughnuts. We had 1 lunch and 1 dinner at the restaurant and they were fine. It is a beautiful setting. At breakfast, management circulated around the tables to see how people were doing. She provided good advice. The resort has an app and you can order supplies on it, or make requests like more towels or housekeeping at a certain time. It was convenient and service was so fast. The woman who cleaned our room was so sweet. The service was personalized.

Great beach location, beautiful swimming spot, and excellent staff attentiveness. Staff were extremely welcoming and professional, but also really helpful. Coffee at breakfast was the best i have had at any holiday resort.

Our second visit to this lovely Thai style resort. Our room, ground floor, private pool was again wonderful. A big thank you to Ahmi and her amazing team for sorting the room for us and for a wonderful personal welcome and service throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt valued as guests. We also did a half day island private tour with the hotel driver which was great. We would love to return!

Stunning. Our favourite resort. The staff were amazing, food unbelievable, cocktails drive. The hotel is pure 5 start on the beach with a great pool. We will be back

Our second time at the beautiful Royal Muang Samui. The staff are incredible, especially Lay, Ahmie and Koh. They treated us like family. We love the private pool and the rooms are immaculate. The position on the beach is perfect, not too busy but enough to do. A really great place for families
