Samed Cabana Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Really, the only thing going for this place is the location. Beachfront room right on a (relatively) clean and quiet beach, a good place for families with kids. Unfortunately, the rooms are sub-standard, and in serious need of refurbishment (shower head not attached to the water hose, no wifi in rooms, no English TV channel, no in-room phone, barely sufficient air-conditioner, complimentary shampoo bottles of another hotel that smelled like used urinal cakes, no face towels, no beach towels, no mini-bar and so on...) Actually it was our second trip here, so the room standard wasn t a suprise, we returned for the location. The worst thing is the arrogant attitude of the management. Most of the staff were quite friendly, but the manager made it very clear that performing even basic functions as someone working in customer service was above him. When paying 2000 baht for a meal, you don t expect your food shoved onto your table edge from the lower level without a word or a smile (come on, it s only one step you need to go up). Communal dishes need side plates, not just some extra cutlery thrown on the plate. He served us the wrong dish (chicken instead of pork, there were only two choices for the barbecue skewers, we ordered by pointing to the food on display, saying pork in English and Thai, having the cook confirm pork , and write pork down on the bill). When bringing this to the staff s attention, the only solution we could arrive at was ordering (and paying for) a second dish with the correct meat. All we got from the manager was a look of disgust and spite, and yes our bill was presented to us for 2 pork barbecue . Someone in his position would know from experience how to solve simple issues like this for guests. It occurred to me that he just doesn t care. Really horrible atmosphere, and I will never return there.

The hotel staff is very friendly and the food, specially beef is excellent and really not too expensive, normally difficult to find in Thailand. The internet could be improved so it can be used from the rooms too. It is no big deal to change. The Vongduean beach is a great location and really worth to stay there.

Reservation service:
Very good service from the booking center.

This was my family with friends second visit to Cabana Resort and it is charming with the beautiful location. Though it is not up to the hotel but I find it disturbing to be met on the beach of representatives of the national park to collect money. I would appreciate if this payment could be done when booking the hotel or ticket for the boattransportation. Another disturbing detail, I suggest there are some more toilet paper in the bathroom than 1 roll. I also suggest that towels for the beachchair are availible in the room when you arrive.

Here location is everything, one would wish that the cabanas were more up to date and that the beach (in the trees) were more tidy. But the beachfront cabanas have the most wonderful view, so nice to wake up and see the ocean!

Very basic for the price I payed. Appart from the location have nothing positive to say. $100 Aus is way too expensive for what you get - cheap furnishings that could break any time, rock hard beds, poor breakfast choice, Stayed at the Samed Pavillion Resort the last time and that place was of a far higher standard.

Tilbragte 3 dage på Koh Samet. Boede i en dejlig bungalow med udsigt til strand og havet. Vi var der en weekend, hvor der også var et større thaiselskab, der fik en stor del af personalet opmærksomhed. Stranden og område ved Samed Cabana blev hold ren af personalet, men ellers fik vi det indtryk, at der er meget beskidt overalt på denne ø.

Accommodation and facilities:
Great location. Friendly and helpful staff, but still (we were there in March 2011 as well as Jan 2012) no credit card facility. Restaurant food is OK but it IS a great place to eat it. Rooms we were in were both clean and adequate, with all necessary facilities, but hey, they are on the beach front (or, for our first night, 20m back) on a small island, so perhaps one shouldn t expect the earth. The rooms round the nice pool are newer, but none of them actually front onto the beach.

I have stayed at the Samet Cabana before, and the first time I thought it was an amazing place to stay. However, this time we went, I was highly disapointed by the uncleanliness, service, and breakfast in the morning. My family and I will not go back to Samed Cabana. The staff really need to learn some manners, they are disrespectful, and it took so long to be serviced. The uncleanliness of the room was appauling, and the sheets and the beds were filthy. Overall our stay was not memorable in a positive way. I don t recommend anyone to stay here. definitely not value for money.

It was my 15 th. time in Thailand and my first time in Koh Samed.

We had a beachfront bungalow, the location was good, directly at the beach. At the beach is to much traffic, the water is not so clean as for example in Koh Chang at White Sand Beach.

This was my first trip to Ko Samet but will certainly not be my last, I had unit 12 which sits about 25 meters from the water and inbetween two huge mango trees. It was beautiful. Cabana was very nice, the bathroom so so but I didn t care. The Staff was the best part of my stay, so freindly, so helpful so accomadating! can t say enough good things about them. The restaurant was great, cheap and clean.

Reservation service:
Booking service sent me a confirmation number and them informed me two days later that they made a mistake and that the cabana I reserved was no longer available. This is how I ended up at Samed Cabana Resort,the place where I had reserved was much newer and nicer. Look at your place on Google Earth, you want to stay at a place that has its own beach, anf the resort takes care of it. The places that share a beach and restaurants, minimarts tend to be noisy and the beach littered with garbage in the morning. They clean it up but its still a mess on such a beautiful beach.
