The Briza Beach Resort

"This was our fourth stay at the Briza Beach Hotel, and each visit only gets better! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by Ken and staffs, who remembered us from previous visits, making us feel like part of the family. The rooms are always spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and stunning views that make each morning special. The beachfront location is unbeatable, offering easy access to soft sands and clear waters, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We also enjoyed the delicious meals at the hotel restaurant – fresh, flavorful, and with a great variety to suit every taste. The team goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable stay, from organizing activities to offering helpful tips for exploring the local area. Thank you to the Briza Beach Hotel team for another amazing experience. We look forward to returning again soon!"

I've had the pleasure of staying at Briza Beach Resort multiple times, and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is so peaceful, and the service is top-notch. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond, but I have to give a special shoutout to Ken, who truly made my stay exceptional. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless, and the staff's attention to detail made me feel welcome and valued. I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway!

My second stay in Briza hotel, and i will come back again. Quiet place, excellent staff, and good food…thank you again for everything…from room 319. The location is perfect, 5 mn from Chaweng…then you can avoid the noise from the town. I feel like at home

This was our second stay at The Briza Beach Resort. Our first, we stayed in a pool villa, this time in the Oceanfront villa with private pool (803). The villa is worth the extra money. Our villas sleeping area appeared larger with a very comfortable king size bed. The on suites was hugh, shower and separate bathtub & toilet. There is also alfresco lounge area including a large two person lounge, two large chairs and another outdoor WC and sink. Plus a sundeck providing two further sun lounges, all these areas have a beach front with uninterrupted sea views. Separating the sleeping and living areas is the private pool, again larger than what we expected. This villa is close to the restaurant and bar. The service we received here was impeccable. The staff member that single handley achieved this was KEN. We meet Ken when we checked in, check in was quick and effortless. The next morning at breakfast, here is Ken ensuring all our dietary requirements are met. Ken’s assistance continued whether we were at reception asking to go places, calling for the golf cart or arranging transportation. Ken had to be cloned, to be everywhere at once. The Briza Beach Resort has a great location on the beach, the north side of Chaweng. Being quieter and more laidback, also the beach is clean, water quality is clear and calm. We will definitely be returning to The Briza, to be spoilt again, thanks to Ken.

We stayed st Briza for two weeks in Sep 24 in a Deluxe room with a Plunge Pool. The rooms were spacious and very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The only (very minor) addition I would request is a hand towel by the sink. Our fridge also leaked a bit of water but while annoying didn’t bother us. The gym is small but I used it every other day and it was fine. We also didn’t come to use a gym, we came to swim, hike, explore, dive and snorkel. We also used the pool a few times and the swim up bar as the cocktails are good and the prices are excellent. Ken and his staff are fantastic and the breakfasts were excellent, I have read a few other reviews that said their could have been a larger range of cereals and fruit and add smoothies, but for the brice of this hotel the breakfast is excellent value, with an egg cooking station, fresh pancakes and waffles, danishes as well as more authentic Thai options. We couldn’t fault the staff, they are fantastic! The US, UK and Australia could learn a little more about hospitality from the Thai service industry. It is about 800m from the main part of Chaweng Beach, which allowed it to be a little quieter and you can choose to walk on the road or on the beach. There is a 7/11 convenience store and money exchanges only two minutes walk away for any convenience needs. Rather than haggling for a scooter we opted to hire through the hotel and we had none of the other issues that many others faced with using rentals in Chaweng. The hotel is about 15 mins ride from Fishermans Village/ Bophut and 20 minutes to Silver Beach and 25 mins to Lamai. Our flight was at 6pm and Ken organized for us to remain in the room till we wanted with no extra charge (we stayed till after 4pm and yes we left a tip) and he also organized a taxi to pick us up and take us to the airport. Overall we cannot fault this hotel. To note its a little older but very well maintained and also built on the side of the hill which suited us but if you have mobility issues you may wish to add this as a consideration. Thanks again from the Goldsmith’s, we will definitely be back when we return to Koh Samui.
