Guest Reviews

• rebeccav553 (6/5): Good value for money - Very nice pool and sea view. The restaurant is surprisingly good and staff at the restaurant very sweet. Sadly a stray dog is often walking around the tables. The rooms are nothing special, and looks like they are not finished or about to fall apart. Staff at reception could be more attentive.
• genius5588 (10/5): A peaceful beachfront retreat with excellent service, cozy rooms, and stunning sunset views. - Escape Beach Resort truly lives up to its name — a perfect hideaway nestled along the serene coast of Koh Samui. The beachfront location is stunning, with direct access to a quiet, clean beach ideal for peaceful mornings and romantic sunsets. The rooms are cozy and tastefully decorated, offering great comfort and privacy, especially the bungalows near the sea. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting you with a smile and ready to assist with anything. The pool area is well-maintained, and the on-site restaurant offers delicious Thai and international dishes with beautiful ocean views. The only slight downside is that it’s a bit removed from the main hustle and bustle of Chaweng or Fisherman’s Village, so you’ll need a scooter or taxi to explore the island fully. But that also adds to the charm — perfect for travelers seeking relaxation and quiet. Would definitely stay again!
• Helen (10/5): - Clean, comfortable accommodation. Polite staff. Peaceful atmosphere. Lovely, relaxing stay
• Nat-Man (8/5): - Nice friendly and attentive staff, with good knowledge of the area and location's to enjoy.
• Nat-Man (8/5): - The view was very scenic
• jetteunis (2/5): DON’T BOOK THIS ONE! Hotel bribes guests in giving a good review! But it was the worst hotel in our trip :( - DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL! THIS HOTEL PAYS YOUR TAXI IF YOU LEAVE A GOOD REVIEW (9 or 10). They bribe people in to leaving a good review :(. We are travelling in thailand with 4 kids, and this was by far the worst hotel in our trip. The staff is very very unfriendly, it’s very expensive in all services and the room is dirty and uncomfortable. It’s absolutely not safe for kids and because of the rusty bathroom and gaps in the floors it’s very dirty as well. We tried to solve this with the hotel, by giving them feedback, but they said it was not there fault.
• VincentK329 (6/5): Enjoyable. - How to ruin good vibes. Escape Beach Resort is an excellent destination for Koh Samui. Idyllically situated on the beach on the border of Maenam and Bophut, the lively part of Samui is easily accessible. The cottages are also clean and tastefully decorated, with good beds, a good shower, good (quiet) air conditioning, peaceful and quiet, with a swimming pool and fresh breakfast. You can also rent a scooter there, but beware that its price is higher than elsewhere (300 Baht per day). What was unfortunate was that they offered a free cab to the airport the day before we left, if we would give the resort a rating of 9 on booking.com (rating is everything). I wanted to, but that's only possible when booking.com asks you to give a review. And that's only after checking out and leaving. That is making someone happy with a dead sparrow and resulted in annoyance at the end. Then you still don't leave with good sense. Too bad! Not a 9 afterall. “Only” an 8.5.
• sophievK2488XK (10/5): Zen and Beautiful! - It's so nice when you arrive at the pool area and you see the beautiful view! You immediately unwind. You feel you are in Paradise. Staff are nice, food excellent, and inexpensive. The room clean and comfortable with wifi and Netflix, you tube, etc. There is a store onsite. The location is far from the main road, you must take a taxi. The pillows are hard. Some beach chairs are metal and hard. The beach disapears at hight tide. But besides that, it is perfect and the vibe is smooth! Great soft music playing creating a relaxing atmosphere.
• fernandasX7572WX (10/5): Great stay - Excellent stay, very close to W beach. The room had comfortable beds, clean linen, tv and fridge as well as a kettle for coffee or tea. Great breakfast. Staff was very accomodating. I needed some help when I arrived and they were very helpful.
• Safari22533502795 (2/5): Construction site, no pool, no restaurant, no massage - If you are planning on staying here over the next couple months, please don't. Due to construction work there is no pool, no restaurant, no massage. Not to mention your room is in the middle of a very active construction site. We only stayed for one night so it wasn't too bad for us. If you are staying here for any longer you will not have a good time at all. I believe we did get the room for a cheaper rate than usual. However, we were not notified about the closures or construction before arrival. P.S. We had cockroaches in our room.
• Nithidol (10/5): - love it
• LoP222888 (6/5): Good for value, you can find better - In general, the hotel was good in relation to the price we paid, which was relatively low for Koh Samui. The hotel staff was nice and the food in the restaurant is excellent and the prices are good. The rooms were fine overall and also clean. The view from the hotel was amazing and you can see beautiful sunsets and the pool is also very nice. but…..! The rooms were small and there are some cockroaches from time to time. It is not a good time to arrive at the hotel because it is under construction and from 9 in the morning you can hear drilling both in the rooms and right on the pool and it is very disturbing. Not only is the noise disturbing but also the walk from the parking lot to the room was dangerous because of the construction. The location of the hotel is very bad, impossible to get there if you don't rent a car or motorbike and even a bit dangerous.
• 434benjaminc (10/5): Great inexpensive, semi-local resort, out of the tourist are to a degree, north beaches are clean, quiet. Thanks Escape - Great out of the way localish resort, but high quality, Staff were amazing and friendly. Food so so fresh at restaurant, bungalows cute nice quality and basic. TV useless tho Can get local scooter for easy cruise to other local shops, massage, gym and bars, bit further for Chaweng, I took car 500TB, didnt want 20mins traffic on scooter. You could go here and not leave the resort for 3-4 days, which I barely did leave
• GaryandLesleyTravel (10/5): Jump off point for ferries to Ko Tao & Ko Pha Ngan - Located out of town on the far end of Mae Nam beach, it’s close to the ferry terminal making it the perfect spot to transit from (still 15 minutes in a Taxi), it’s affordable, private and relaxed and has a lovely pool over looking a small piece of private swimmable beach. The accommodation is nice with rooms and bungalows available, our bungalow had a fridge, safe, good bed, hot shower and complimentary tea, coffee and water. The staff are friendly and helpful, breakfast was included and was very generous, overall good value for money.
• Lara (10/5): - Although we only stayed here for two nights, my sister and I enjoyed our stay at the Escape Beach Resort as the staff was very kind and helpful. The room was comfortable and the restaurant was good for dinner and supper. The only downside of the hotel is it’s location as it’s situated down a very steep hill and some narrow roads which are quite scary to drive on.Taxis also cost more to come pick you up at the hotel as they have to drive down the steep hill. If you do stay there, consider renting a car with the company they are affiliated with as the staff is extremely kind and will send you tips on what to see on the island!
• Keira (10/5): - We really enjoyed our time here. Hightide the water came right up to the steps by thr pool, the wait staff was lovely, abd the front desk was very helpful Only thing is that there isnt anything around the resort, besides other resorts. If you have a bike or can rent one this place is great. We would come back!
• Sunshine30695785154 (8/5): Nice View - I loved the rooms at Escape Beach Resort, they were very comfortable and clean, the bathrooms were updated and very nice. The location of the hotel is far from the main road and you have to hike down to get to the resort. It was a nice place to stay right on on beach.
• Yousef (10/5): - It's calm and right on the ocean panorama infinity pool and value and position that you can't get any where on the island Koh Samui is an expensive island but the resort was a great deal can't refuse I paid $409 Australia dollars including breakfast daily same crystal brook equivalent in Australia you pay $500 a night which I think this lagoon out beat crystal brook in Byron bay by miles in value and location
• Jordan (10/5): Brilliant stay. - Amazing stay at Escape! My room qas lovely and comfortable. The staff was super helpful and polite. Looking forward to my next visit.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good price nice place best location nice staff awesome
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was really to staying there, great view nice stuffs.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice place, peaceful and quiet. Superb view. Great breakfast.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Pretty isolated - The actual accommodation is nice but all the rooms are very cramped together and the walls are paper thin. The pool area is nice but again very small for the number of rooms here. You have to fight for a sun bed on busier times. The breakfast was great and the food in the restaurant generally good, though I wouldn’t recommend the burger which came with a beef patty about a third of the size of the bun they give you. This place is in the middle of nowhere with nothing close by so unless you’re planning on doing excursions you’re pretty stuck here or paying quite expensive taxis to go elsewhere. The positive was it was very clean and a good price
• Rotem (6/5): Good value for money - Good value for money, Far from center, taxi a bot pricy, very small rooms..
• Rotem (6/5): 👍 - Overall good value for money, right on the Beach, nice restaurant, far from center, pricy texi..
• Verified traveler (8/5): - What a really pleasant place to stay staff really helpful
• Verified traveler (10/5): Best Boutique hotel in Koh Samoi - This boutique hotel was amazing. It provided for all our needs. The infinity pool over looks the ocean with direct beach access. The rooms are small but big enough for our needs. The pool bar had great food and drinks for cheap. We would definitely come back. The W hotel is also right next to this hotel. This hotel is famous for their rooftop pool bar area. We went to check it out. It was a great outing and close to the hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The chalet was good n affordable. But the road in front the property are not good, mud n watering.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I had no complaints. But the best thing about this resort will be the staff
• Erin (8/5): Lovely stay - Escape Beach was really lovely. The facilities were really nice including a great pool. The restaurant/bar was fantastic, the only thing that could be better is daily happy hour! The only real thing I could fault was the internet, it would cut out and then you had to log on again. This happened very frequently. Otherwise a great place to stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Good service from friendly staffs, excellent sea view upon breakfast time and nicely decorated area. This property is reccommended
• Sandy B (10/5): Great Escape - We stayed seven nights in the economy room (in an apartment) which was comfortable. The only downside is that we heard everything our neighbours were saying and doing the walls being thin and the beds share the same wall. When we had quiet neighbours, you can't hear anything but most of them spoke loudly. The location is incredible, perfect for getting away. It is possible to walk, via beach to Fisherman's village (1.5 hours) and Maenam Viewpoint all the way across the bay (2.5 hours). Wear shoes of some kind because the sand on either end of the bay is coarse and sharp, and there is a lot of glass by the rocks. You must do your walk either side of low tide otherwise the beach disappears and it's hard to come back. The beach is quiet and stunning. No touts and hardly anyone considering it's high season. The restaurant at Escape is very very reasonably priced and good. The free breakfast delicious. There are offerings for vegans too (though much unvaried). The staff are wonderful and the place is very clean. The pool is lovely for a quick dip. Other restaurants are only a small walk along the beach away (massages etc) The taxi used by Escape is reasonably priced to go anywhere. Handy fixed price list too. We used Navigo on Koh Samui. The internet was fast, however, it was extremely annoying that you have to log in and type your password EVERY SINGLE TIME you open your phone again. Overall this is a great place to escape to!
• KENNETH (8/5): Nice hotel shame about thebeds - Nicely located hotel, only let down the beds are so hard we all found it uncomfortable to enjoy a good nights sleep
• Ann-Sofie (8/5): Good resort for the price range. - Good service and facilities. Nice room, beautiful pool and view, decent restaurant and bar with super prices. Cons: the location of the resort is difficult to access and they really need to cover the water holes "ponds", on the resort's private road. Satisfied all and all.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Rude, unhelpful & dishonest staff. - Isolated location, is literally nothing around it. Rude, dishonest & unhelpful staff. Bad cockroach problems in the bungalows. Nearly pure chlorine in the pool. Breakfast is nice on a plus side. I wouldn't recommend it and am amazed anyone likes it. Bungalows are dark and just look out over the wall in front but view at pool area is nice, shame the pool is s toxic bath! NEVER use the tax service they recommend. Overpriced, tatty and dangerous.
• Chu (8/5): - I stayed at standard bungalow. Good price with clean room but too small for bath room. But for overall is good.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice. Friendly staff. I'd definitely recommend it
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Positives: 1. Amazing beach front rooms. Lovely view. 2. Good Breakfast. Lot of options. Good restaurant. Variety menu. 3. Quiet area located at secluded place. 4. Hotel offers car/bike rentals. 5. Very good rooms. Negetives: 1. Very slow wifi. 2. Not enough beach space. Nothing much to explore around the property.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The room with the beach front had an amazing view. You dont feel like going anywhere and can have beer all day long.... Good breakfast and good restaurant with variety menu. The only negative about this resort was slow wifi...i think it was only 2G. Very slow. Also, no lighting at their beach so u can not enjoy the beach at night.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful location. Staff do a wonderful job cleaning and taking care of the resort. The location is a bit remote itself so I wouldn’t reccomend it unless you rent bikes or a car. Nothing in walking distance, but peaceful and quiet 😀
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I was happy when we had booked an economy room and they gave us a free upgrade to a king bed room
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean, great beach access during the night. Staff was friendly and able to accommodate our needs.
• Miao Xin (10/5): Good for value and nice hotel - Located in a quiet place in a corner. Amazing view. Located just right beside the beach. Comfortable room and friendly staff. Only thing is that pool is very small and not enough beach space, and definitely need a bike/car.
• Darryl (4/5): Money first. - Not Honest.......We had asked for a room for 3 adults but were provided with a room that was just about big for 2 people and we would have to climb over the third person to use the toilet, however for an additional amount per day (which we paid or had to) they would give us a bigger room. This was highly unprofessional. Further they got information that the cyclonic storm Pabuk was headed towards the island and all ferry services would be cut off for three days but they did not inform us guests as there would be cancellations and nobody would be coming to the island to take their rooms so they would stand to lose money. Totally dishonest. Location superb and food good but all could have been better with a little more regard putting guests firsthand not financial gain foremost..
• anonymous (8/5): - restaurant was ok. the area is limited in options so it becomes a bit repetitive. overall it was ok but had to leave early due to obnoxious family who took over the pool area once they checked in - not the hotel’s fault but the smaller size of the resort is a factor.
• Andy (8/5): - Pleasant place to escape to away from the crowds at Chaweng. Not much nearby to walk to for entertainment and needs a taxi to nearby Fishermans Village (a daily shuttle service would be a welcome addition). The hotel bar and restaurant has a good and reasonably priced menu of both Thai and western food for lunch and dinner and the service and food was generally good. Would suggest they amend the 'Happy Hour' - only Wed -Fri, 6-8pm only on cocktails and cant mix drinks.
• Nicola (8/5): - Great place to stay! Staff are very friendly and helpful! The buffet breakfast every morning was really good.. Rooms were Spotless and cleaned everyday. Perfect place to stay if you want some time to relax.
• francesca (8/5): We had the best bungalow in front of the beach - Nice resort next to the beach, relaxed wibe. A little faraway from the main road. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. A plate a fresh fruit was left for us daily in the fridge with water. Restaurant is nice, lots of food choices Thai and international.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff very nice all around. Pool needs to be bigger for the amount of guests Taking up space in and around sun chairs. Not to bad as it is a cheap holiday
• Clarice (6/5): disappointment at koh samui - definitely not interesting, the location is banal, too many rooms, too many noisy guests, and the kitchen was poor as well.
• Carly (10/5): - We really enjoyed staying at Escape because it was very comforting and relaxing. We had been traveling our entire trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. We were very pleased to relax in Koh Samui at Escape. The rooms were very cute and very comfortable. The food at the Castaway restaurant was amazing! The best curry spaghetti I’ve had since our trip! I was very impressed that they also offered free breakfast. This was a plus for us!
• Jackie (6/5): - No sun shade round pool no chairs on the beach like the photo shows on internet very disappointing the staff were very nice but would not go there again
• Karl (10/5): Awesome - Simply stated. Really wonderful!!!!!
• EMILY (8/5): Not recommended - Not nice beach for swim or walk. Pool too small. Location not good
• Marjolaine (6/5): Too crowded - Very tight place, very small pool with many many chairs around. Too many rooms. But great service and clean room , comfy bed.
• Ellie (8/5): Overall, good! - Lovely hotel but small rooms and small pool! Would stay here again though :)
• Paul (8/5): Relaxing - Very nice out the way not far to bars and shops by taxi very steep approach to hotel not really walkable we hired a motorbike from hotel best option for us overall happy time
• Natcha (10/5): New hotel right on the beach with excellent view - New hotel right on the beach with excellent view down from the hill.
• Simona (6/5): Very simple rooms. - The resort would need maintenance. Very simple rooms , pretty small. Travel light as there is nowhere to store anything. We liked the beach and the restaurant was ok. Loved Samui
• Karen (10/5): Punches above it's weight - Excellent value. Quiet location on very clean beach. Rooms basic but spotlessly clean with toiletries. Good small pool and enough sunloungers for everyone. The W hotel is next door if you want to splash out on dinner, cocktails... But the little cafe at the hotel does small selection of Thai and Western style food and it was good quality. I spend 50+ nights a year in 4\5 star hotels, with full luxury amenities. But I would have no hesitation in recommending this if you are on a low to middle budget. NOTE: You will need a car or taxis if you want to visit anywhere. It is secluded.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Beautiful views, terrible and dirty facilities. - I read about all the wonderful reviews of this place, and thought this would be a great hotel to stay at for 5 nights during our time in Koh Samui. Unfortunately, there were many things that disappointed me: 1) We paid to upgrade to a better room, however there really wasn't anything better with the room other than it was closer to the pool. 2) The hotel room had ants virtually everywhere. They would be all over the walls, the floors, and in the bed. I'm not expecting a 5 star hotel experience, but a clean room would have been lovely. 3) The bathroom shower would not drain (yes, you heard that right). Even when I asked to have it fixed, it worked again for a night and then clogged up again in the morning. When we told the front desk staff about this, they really didn't care and just said "do you want someone to look at it or not?". 4) This place is literally in the middle of nowhere and taxis are expensive on koh samui. This is coupled with the fact that there is literally nothing to do around the resort other than sit around in the pool and eat. There are no other restaurants or shops nearby unless you want to walk far out along the beach (unfortunately you CANNOT do this in the evening due to the high tide). 5) The food is quite mediocre other than the breakfast. Unfortunately there are no better options as you are literally stranded unless you want to pay for a 20$ taxi out.
• Damien (8/5): Away from the hustle and bustle - We stayed at Escape for 4 nights in June and it was a nice stay. Good location away from the main hustle and bustle of Samui which is what we were after. Rooms were a good size, clean but the walls could use a coat of paint. Breakfast was good, a good variety and a nice place to eat and enjoy the view. The food at the restaurant overall was quite good with a mix of western and Thai. We ate here quite a lot as it is difficult to get to the main rd for food. Beach was clean and pretty much ours. Pool was nice and refreshing. The location for us was its best and worst part. Its a quieter location but its quite away off the main road and down a very steep, not pedestrian friendly road. In the heat walking up that hill was a quite a workout! There are no shuttles taking you up the hill and taxi's charge quite a lot more to go there so that was a turn off. Otherwise overall a nice place and we would go back.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Rûn far away - The hôtel is nice the view is speechless !!! The big problem is about people from this hotel! Manger is rude Staff didn't speak English The restaurant team some of them is impoli!!!
• Dielle (10/5): Great hotel on the beach. - Nice hotel on the beachfront. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food. Massages were really good too. Overall was a great stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it.
• Andrew (8/5): Nice hotl - This hotel is fairly secluded. You do need a car or motorbike unless you only want to eat here.Staff are good. Breakfast is ok but lacks variety, pool gets very busy. Airconditioning used to freeze up every 6 hours or so and spit Ice onto the bed,it then had to be turned off for an hour or so to thaw out.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Okay - Very nice restaurant staff and good food, but front desk staff could be friendly and beach is very small, with a small pool too. Rooms are new but not well maintained.
• Shannon (8/5): Relaxed Hotel - We found Escape to be very relaxing. It's away from the crowds and noise of Chewang and although 400B taxi ride to and from worth it for this gem. Our room was great, the pool was awesome and the included breakfast was the best we've had during our 3 week trip around Thailand. Not much of a beach but didn't miss it as the pool was right there
• Verified traveler (6/5): - This hotel is not really good but ok for staying here
• sammy (8/5): Nice and clean with very good breakfast. - Excellent for price you pay!
• Joan and Robyn (8/5): Lovely hotel close to beach - Friendly staff, extensive menu chilled and relaxed atmosphere
• Alexander (10/5): Fantastic Views, Fantastic Value. - One of the islands great value for money resorts the rooms aren't huge but the beds are big and comfortable and the balcony offered sea views regardless of our garden view status, breakfast was excellent and goes on until 11 allowing those who enjoy a longer sleep on holiday the best of both worlds, the social make up was extremely varied from younger couples to older couples and travelling groups of all ages, the staff are very helpful and the on site restaurant has a wide selection of food and drinks. Happy hour is 17:00-19:00 and is extremely reasonable 2 long island ice teas for 120 baht which is somewhere around 3GBP!
• Sean (8/5): - The accommodation was beautiful right on the beach and very stylish. The beach snd pool were great and the hotel was right on the beach. The bar/restaurant were very nice, a little pricey for Thailand but the food was excellent. There isn't any other bars/restaurants within 15 walk but we were happy to spend our time at the resort. The wifi was good in the fact it was available throughout the resort however it was a little weak and it kept logging me out which was frustrating.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - small hotel but not bad to stay, nice service but the road to hotel is look scary and dangerous.
• Kimmie (6/5): Nice food and cafe just beside the beach. - Fun if you rent a motorbike to move around. Hotel should consider free shuttle to fisherman village or big C. Other than that it is a cozy place. Though pool is pretty small - only good for dipping.
• Dominic (10/5): A hidden gem. - This is a up-market budget hotel with minimalist furnishings and a great beach feel. The food and staff are excellent. Not many staff speak English, but you will be suprised what a few hand gestures and a smile will achieve. There is no beach as the waves come right up to to the hotel pool wall. This hotel is not suitable for business travellers.
• Sean (8/5): lovely - Escape is a beautiful tranquil resort. very nice clean and cosy with great facilities.
• Prima-arin (8/5): Thai - Great beach and superp breakfast!
• Patrick (10/5): High Recommend - I stay this hotel for 2 nights. It is really perfect for my hiding busy life. I enjoy with the pool and beach front that the hotel. All staff are friendly and pay attend to guests. They always ask their guests for any assistance that may need. Breakfast at the hotel is good for others is so so. Chill out and sip a cup of coffee by the patio at the bar is a must. I like it and I enjoy it everyday at late of the afternoon.
• jenna (6/5): Not worth the money - We opted for the beach view bungalow and paid almost 100 Canadian per night. I stayed at much nicer hotels in Thailand for significantly less. The staff weren't the greatest - checked is in half an hour later than check in time, would have convos with one another they'd finish before acknowledging for a drink. Overall just would have been okay I think if less money had been spent. On the pro side rooms were clean, breakfast was really good. Other cons were the wifi was slow in the room, the mini fridge had only one setting so it wasn't very cold, and the shower water pressure was light.
• Diego (10/5): Awesome place! - Clean, nice, good food, comfortable suites. Really nice place to stay during vacations. I recommend to everyone. Totally worth it!
• or (10/5): Nice Place to Stay - It was a very nice place and for a really good price! All the staff were very friendly. Overall we had a nice time! Recommend to rent a car or motorcycle :)
• Carmen (10/5): - Extremely great service from the staff. Very helpful and informative.
• Colton (10/5): Perfect Getaway Among Glitzy Overpriced Neighbors - Had a wonderful time at the Escape! The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Not really within walking distance of anything, but they have scooter rentals for cheap and you can get anywhere you need to.
• Andrew (10/5): Excellent - What a lovely place to to stay, staff very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious, and a short walk to the pool and beach. The restaurant was excellent with a great choice of foods and drinks. Breakfast was all in and also had a great choice. I would recommend this to anyone. The 2 photos I've uploaded are the view from the pool / restaurant.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful beach hotel - the hotel is in a beautiful location, where you can enjoy your amazing buffet breakfast with views across the beach and sea. The room was very comfortable and included extra touches suchas beach towels for our use. The hotel also provides kayaks and paddle board for hire at an extremely good rate, to enjoy watersports right by the hotel.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Very relaxing. Quiet. Bit out of the way for some but if you have a motorbike no problem. Claim a seat by the pool early otherwise there's nowhere for you. Rooms are small but comfortable. Food very good
• Verified traveler (8/5): Quiet Resort on the beach very clean and new. - I stayed at Escape for 3 weeks. this resort lives up to its reviews it is located in a quiet area. The Rooms are very clean the entire bungalow resort is tidy and the set out beautifully. All staff are pleasant and friendly and willing to help. the resort isn't to far from Chaweng but it is far from Lamai but if you hire a scooter like I did you can do the whole island easily and access all areas. Everyone complains about the hill but you can actually walk down the beach to the left towards Fairhouse Resort just next door and cut through there, you don't have to go up the hill from Escape, its simple really. Overall I would definitely stay again, maybe not for 3 weeks but I would stay for a week. :)
• S/T L (6/5): Spectacular View Hotel by the Beach - It's a family oriented, vacation hotel where children and their parents frolic around the pool and enjoy meals together in the restaurant. The hotel has a mini mart for you to shop some basic things. Pool is available all day. Restaurant opens long hours. The room is cleaned usually promptly.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice hotel and suitable for the room price. I like this hotel.
• Dylan & Briar (6/5): Good Breakfast, Staff have alot to improve on - First impressions last and unfortunately it wasnt a friendly one, Construction nextdoor.. wouldnt provide a scooter (got judged by looks and fed some story about not having any and basically got told to go elsewhere) met several others who had the same treatment. Alot of the food was frozen goods to her credit the restaurant manager admitted this and apologized, she was lovely and really made us feel welcome, sadly the young night staff seemed uninterested and one in particular was on something. Internet hardly worked during the day. A shame as the place was pretty well setup but the staff and food left alot to be desired ! Also possibly too many rooms for the sewage system as we had a constant sewage smell in the bathroom. Good but wouldnt stay again. Only being honest, better places just down the beach with much better vibes and awesome food, and better for swimming.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel, room, facilities, food and drinks were great. Right on the beach. Only downside was having to get transport everywhere ... If tide was out you could walk to main part of maenam along the beach which is about 20 min. Otherwise a great stay.
• Alex (8/5): Unique in its way with few issues - We took honey moon bungalow with sea view. The experience of the view was exciting . However the villas was seperated by a thin wall . We could actually hear even a small sound from the other villa/ room which was quite disturbing few nights ( totally depends on who is staying next to you). The restaurant location and ambience was amazing. Food was okey with limited Thai options . Access to main road was a challenge as it was a uphill climb . You need a scooter or car if you are to travel around near by areas
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice Very Private Place - When I say private it's very private. The location is pretty much out of the way for most area in koh samui. Had to go up hill and down when we walked around to see places we could eat or shop. The path doesn't have much light either so we had to use our phone lights. Fisherman's village is about an hr walk. There's bophut beach and a lot of restaurant and night life around that area. We got a tour to a couple islands in this location for a good price. The place itself is amazing. Quiet and private. A small beach for everyone to go into and a small pool as well. The free breakfast is pretty good as well. It's worth the pay for anyone looking for some quiet time after the busy, touristy places they've been. If looking for more fun night out then would recommend somewhere more into the main roads. The plce is also near the pier so if you're only in koh samui for a couple days as a stop over then thisnis a good break for the rest of the trip.
• patawee (10/5): Super cute hotel and great ocean view - Fantastic experience for your great vacation and holiday trip . clean room , good atmosphere
• Verified traveler (6/5): Just ok. - overall is fine just that you can hear next room sound. If you plan to stay in this hotel prepare your own earplug. The room is a bit small for two. The staff not so friendly however I still tips them.
• Caroline (8/5): - Good place to stay, great staff but food was mediocre and music terrible! The rooms were clean and cool with a good bed.
• shaun and Liz (6/5): Lovely location with a fantastic setting - Lovely location with a fantastic setting right next to the sea. The pool is a good size which overlooks the sea, there are sun beds but not enough. The restaurant is nice the food is lovely with a good choice. The restaurant staff was very helpful and really nice people although a new manage had just started and he was trying really hard but was too over to top. The reception staff were helpful apart from the young man that works there who was rude and unhelpful and simply shrugged his shoulders when asked anything. The rooms have everything you need but are in need of a lick of paint. overall we really enjoyed our stay.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great stay - Had an unexpected layover here. Staff friendly and helpful, hotel was simple in a good way- nothing unnecessary but thought given to provide things that were useful eg umbrellas, beach towels and easy to use room safe and laundry, scooters to rent, easy to book taxis which you need because not much in area and strong wifi. Restaurant average but fine with good breakfast provided, lovely area around pool to sit although no beach area and pool wasn't as big as it looks in picture, lovely swim though and 24/7 access. There's a beach you can walk to. Not much difference between bungalow and economy room. Family friendly. Questionable massage. I would go back.
• James (8/5): Great place great price. - Excellent resort, friendly staff, speedy check in, food in restaurant was cooked well and very tasty prices were reasonable. Location is a bit off beaten track though,walk to main road is 20/30 minutes up an enormous hill and is not well lit at night. YOU NEED TRANSPORT! Either a scooter or reception will order you a taxi. There is 1 good size pool which is divided to accommodate a small children's pool, there is only a beach at this resort when the tide is out but there are beaches either side of this resort Overall we would stay again at this resort.
• D&D (8/5): 6 Nights in an Ocean View Bungalow - My husband and I stayed her for a week before flying back to Canada after a conference in Northern Thailand. The resort itself is quite small and cozy and there isn't much of a beach affiliated with the resort. If your walk for a about a minute in either direction there are beautiful beaches that were empty while we were visiting. The front desk is hit or miss. Sometimes you get awesome, informed friendly people and other times you don't. There are no phones in the rooms and overpriced shuttle. The hotel offer the same service at twice the price... The room was ok. It looks like in the pictures with a great view and they clean it everyday but the walls and curtains were quite dirty and there was a lot of dust and crude in the cracks. We were quite happy with our room anyway. One night we had a salamander thing come it. It was cute. The last morning there was a huge cockroach that startled me. But the doors are typical of Thailand. There is an inch around the bottom and top that is open. It was not really a problem though. The room was a good value. The breakfast is just ok. You will survive but not be excited to eat after the second day. Overall, safe little resort. Quiet and good place to relax. Restaurant is quite expensive for what you get. Walk down the beach 5 min and eat at the restaurant there.
