"We loved our stay at Coco Palm! It is an older/more traditional style resort but that was part of the charm for us. The beach is beautiful and quiet. Lovely pool, bar and restaurant and delicious Thai food options. All the hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, made amazing cocktails and great food. Our room was so clean every day and the beach was always spotless. Big shout out to Nèung at the bar - thank you for all the cocktails and great chat! We hope to be back one day."

This is a magical place that really lets you escape and unwind. The setting is one of the most dramatic I've experienced (only topped by Sugar Beach in St Lucia) - the villas and communal buildings dotted on a steep jungle mountainside that drops down to a secluded fine sandy beach. When you combine the Four Seasons perfectionism with the innate kindness and warmth of the Thai people, the service is as good as it gets. The villas are private and large with great character.

Had a 2 week stay at this hotel and from the moment we arrived it was amazing. Staff are very friendly, attentive and professional. All the food in the hotel (and believe me we tried pretty much all of it) was brilliant. Short walk along the beach to Bophut Fishing village with more bars, restaurants and shops. Only negative was that the holiday ended too early. Would definitely go back.

I had a lovely relaxing time at the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff made for an enjoyable time. Lovely room and pool with the beach close by.
A large spread was available for breakfast. A very nice start to the day.
Occasionally I found a staff member that could not grasp what I was asking in English.
I treated myself to a manicure at the Zense Spa. I regretted my choice as I could have done a much better job with a pair of nail clippers.

Celes resort is beautiful. I stayed for 6 nights with my partner and we absolutely loved it. The hotel is clean and extremely well maintained, and they really pay attention to detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was delicious, accompanied by wonderful views. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and care free stay in Samui.

The hotel was beautiful, well maintained and clean. Staff were helpful especially Tai, she was professional and polite, always available to offer help. The food was nice. They offer take away breakfast also which was helpful when we had an early morning ferry to catch. The pool area is small but beautiful and the rooms were amazing and clean. I would definitely return and recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel with great service, but a couple of things to know.
Built into the hillside which gives incredible views. But means a lot of steps and very steep slopes.
Away from the resorts which is nice and peaceful. But does mean you need to get the shuttle if you want to go out. The shuttle is fine, runs hourly and takes ten minutes to get to the beach so very easy. There is also an excellent private limousine service run by the hotel which costs under £10 to get to most places...
