Blue Turtle Hotel Samui

We loved our stay! Family of 7 in two rooms. The resort is gorgeous. Nicely designed- really cute rooms and beautiful gardens! We had the two bedroom sea view villa next to the pool. The kids LOVED the pool. Really clean facilities. Our room had streaming services which was good for some downtime for knackered kids in the A/C . Comfy beds and rooms well maintained and very clean. The staff are absolutely lovely. Front desk staff in particular, really helpful with suggestions and super friendly and welcoming. Restaurant staff attentive and lovely looking over the beach. Was a very quiet time of year. They are extending out the front, but we were not at all bothered and didn’t hear any noise from this. I bet will look as awesome as the rest of the resort. Really spoilt too with being able to fill our drink bottles with their eco water System. My kids appreciated the 7/11 directly across the road. Bit of a walk in to the shops, but we just walked the beach and took a ride back. Nice and quiet location away from any party atmosphere. We hired a car for the day which was an awesome way to cruise around the island Only suggestions would be recycling facilities, face cloths and Asai Smoothie Bowls :)

Loved our stay and set a high bar for the rest of our stay in Thailand

Costal vibe fantastic staff and lovely and clean

Entrance was hard to find due to construction

Everything! The hotel was somehow even better than the pictures online — which is always a particularly pleasant surprise after a series of long flights. It was beautifully designed, intimate and effortlessly boutique, with direct access to the beach being a huge bonus. There’s something rather special about being able to go from a cosy little room straight onto the sand. The staff were exceptional from start to finish — from the lovely lady at reception to Kan, and the waiters and chefs who made sure every meal was *perfecto*. There was a genuine warmth to the service that made the whole stay feel incredibly personal. And a special mention to the owner, who was very sweet and hands-on. She went out of her way to make sure everything about our stay was perfect, checking in on us and making us feel genuinely looked after.

Given that it was an eco resort, you couldn't leave the AC on without a magnetic room key which can be a little annoying, especially after coming back from a hot, sweaty day out. But as problems go, that was a very minor one !

The staff were so lovely and kind. Nice pool area. The location on the quiet part of Chewang Beach

The building work was noisy. Our room was also above the reception desk and near the main road which was not ideal.
