Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort

I visited Anantara Bophut Koh Samui with my husband and had a wonderful time there. The staff was excellent in their service and friendly always ready to help us. I would like to highlight one special young lady in the property however for assisting us during our stay. her name is Kaushi and she is from sri lanka I believe. She was such a nice young lady to speak to whenever we met and she even helped carry our groceries to our room one day. The rest of the staff were wonderful as well and we can't wait to come back again. Good luck Kaushi for your training.

A marvellous experience. The room was excellent, we had some welcome fruit and sweets in the room. The staff were extremely helpful, anything we asked for they always tried to arrange. The service was excellent. I have nothing but good things to say about the whole hotel. Really 5-star service. The food was very good, and they had a room full of toys for the children to play with for free. We even had an invitation to have cocktails with the hotel director. The space is very beautiful, the decor marvellous, everything very clean. The kids (aged 5 and 14) loved it too, there was cottoncandy and popcorn in the pool. The only downside is the beach, the water is not good for swiming, its not clean, it has a kind of mud in it.

Over the past 10 years, my wife and I have spoiled ourselves by staying at 5-Star Hotels around Asia. Of the many we have experienced, this place had the most beautiful grounds of all of them. And the location on the beach, the pool, the food, the rooms etc were all 5-Star quality. But what made it the best place we've visited was the 10-Star service. Sandy, our own personal concierge and Fon, the assistant manager, went above and beyond normal service to take care of any and all concerns, questions and issues. They remembered everything we ever told them about wants or needs, they immediately addressed any foul ups that are a normal part of any hotel logistics. And they did all of it with huge smiles and thoughtful awareness. We look forward to coming back to this beautiful place with even more beautiful people.

I simply cannot rate this place highly enough. The staff are so amazing and attentive! They are almost intuitive to your every need. Nothing is too much trouble! Within walking distance to the famous Coco Tam’s fire shop and the fisherman’s market, so great location.

I cannot recommend this resort enough. To begin, Sandy was incredible...super friendly from the start and went out of her way to make our experience special. She had great recommendations, said hello to us by name every time we saw her around the resort, and even when we were leaving, she gave us her card to contact her if we had any questions or needed any help while hopping around to other islands/parts of Thailand. We also got to know Kaushi, who is so kind and also provided recommendations, information about the different islands we were visiting, and general knowledge about Thai culture and food. While we wanted to highlight these two in particular, the entire staff was incredible. They helped us make copies of our passports, booked motorbikes (which was seamless), etc. AND when we got out of any excursion earlier than expected on our last day, after we had technically checked out, they let us come back to use a temporary room they had attached to their lobby to shower and relax until our boat out to Koh Tao. Amazing. Anantara does a ton of little touches to make your experience memorable and comfortable - the turn down service, welcome fruit, etc. The breakfast buffet was literally was our favorite one of our whole trip, with so many options and everything tasting SO good. They had a great mix of authentic Thai dishes and stations, as well as cuisines from all over the world. We loves our Taste of Siam dinner experience that allowed us to try so many different things. We also had some great Tapas at their other restaurant, Guilty and got to take advantage of the pool bar's happy hour (buy one get one cocktails). Our room was clean and beautiful -- we even got upgraded upon our arrival. I wish we could have stayed longer.
