Beds are comfortable and breakfast is nice.

We were a bit unlucky with the rooms and had to switch a few times. Rooms were not too clean and we expected more from this hotel, if we're honest.

superschöne Anlage und sehr schöner strand. hatte jederzeit genügend liegen. personal war sehr freundlich und das frühstück war ebenfalls super.

nichts

L’emplacement qui plus au moins tranquille

Les photos ne correspondent pas à la réalité Établissement très mal entretenue Ont dirait que il a plus de 10 ans

El Hotel esta bien ubicado y ademas pegado a la playa. la habitación estaba limpia y el personal en general muy simpático. La jefa de barra en la piscina fue la única que en los tres dias que estuve, siempre estuvo de mal rollo y incluso de actitud desagradable el resto del personal encantadores.

no hubo nada que me hubiera decepcionado aparate de la jefa de barra del área de la piscina.

Stayed last year and wanted to return. This hotel is in the best part of Chaweng beach. Staff work very hard to keep hotel clean and they are very helpful

The good: La Vida is located on the best part of Chaweng beach, away from the noise and party crowd. The sand on this side of the beach is also better and the beach staff of La Vida keeps their part of the beach clean. As this is the quiet part of Chaweng beach, you will also not have to deal with too many people walking by on the beach as it still is a public beach. The resort is also not that big meaning it is never crowded and you can easily navigate around the rooms should you have booked more than one room. Breakfast is just OK. We were lucky that we stayed here in a week where there was a very lovely crowd of guests and everyone was really friendly making it feel like a small family. We all had our designated spots by the pool or beach and you would be with the same people everyday which was very comfortable. This changed on our last day when a big group arrived and kind of disturbed the peace. There is a Nespresso machine in the room which is something we didn't see in actual 5 star hotels in Thailand.

The bad: La Vida is not a 4 star hotel, it is in reality a 2 star bungalow park that is in desperate need of renovation. The rooms were dirty and one of the two rooms we booked smelled damp throughout our stay. The excessive limescale makes the rain shower unusable as it is clogged. There was some mould between the bathroom tiles as well. Bedding was stained and upon request changed with ''new'' bedding that was also stained. The towels in the room and for the beach needed replacing ages ago. The mattress was actually comfortable as were the pillows but they smelled a bit meaning they need replacing. The staff is not friendly and they all seem miserable which can be said for all of the Thai on Samui. The elder lady at the front desk is fake friendly and doesn't seem to enjoy her job. Only the younger girl at reception made a clear effort and the two young boys working the pool bar. Beach service was lacking unless one of the younger boys was on duty. The girl operating the pool bar was so slow and unintelligent that even a simple order of two fries became a nightmare, resulting in us never ordering anything again. One of the rooms we booked had a big gap between the door and its frame making it an easy access point for bugs. Luckily this did not happen but be aware that it could. The ocean of chaweng beach is very polluted and personally I find it unsafe for swimming. We had tar on our foots one day leaving the ocean and it took a while before we were able to get it off our feet. There are all sorts of things washing ashore in the morning on chaweng beach and this is because the clientele that visits Samui is lower class, doesn't care and makes everything dirty. Samui in general is a very rundown and ugly island with dirt everywhere and it stinks. Lamai and Chaweng in particular are extremely dirty with Lamai being a real shock for us with an overwhelmingly bad smell and mountains of bin bags. Samui? Never again for us!

Great location and the quieter end of the busy strip. Great staff and facilities
