Lynne Barnes 2008-06-07 until 2008-06-09	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach When we arrived to a rather drab reception area, we were given a very welcome cold towel and welcome drink before being shown to our room. As soon as we entered the building there was a strong smell of dampness and when we went into our ground floor room the smell was overwhelming. The room itself was lovely and (for once!) just as shown on the website. We unpacked, showered and went out to the pool. When we returned to the room a couple of hours later we decided to have a little sleep but found that the the bed and linens were really quite wet. Our clothes which had been hung up for just a short time also felt damp. We asked if we could be given another room and were shown to one on the next floor which appeared to be fine - no smell of damp. However, when we went to bed that night we found that the bed was very damp and although we had booked this hotel for 6 nights, after 2 we moved on to another hotel. It s such a shame as this could be a lovely hotel but they really need to sort out the dampness. I must add that the breakfast was very poor too.	No problems at all with the booking, as always but were very slow responding to my email about changing to another hotel meaning we had to spend an extra night in a wet bed.
L Chapman 2008-05-20 until 2008-05-22	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Usually I don t complain about hotels because I tend to take things in stride. But I was very disappointed with this hotel. It wasn t even close to the pictures on line. Two things were decent - the beach and the cleaniness of the rooms. There are a lot of things that went wrong but I ll only go into detail about two. There was no hot water and they brought in a whole staff of people to our room for hours trying to fix the pipes. They said something had broken. After a while I finally asked to be moved to a different room. We walked back to our hotel late in the evening and there was no security and the gate was open. We finally found the security after we went to speak with the manager. Apparently the security was eating and left the gate opened and unattended. It doesn t sound like a big deal but when you spend a lot of money renting a motorbike, the last thing you want on your vacation is for it to be stolen. I would not recommend this hotel. And believe me I ve traveled the world and this is my first complaint about a hotel.	no problems with the booking.
Ellen Woerner & Christoph Lemmen 2008-03-28 until 2008-04-03	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach The online Hotel room reservation from Germany, as well as our modifications and short term extention by telephone of our stay at the Hotel went just perfect - very competent, accurate, considerate and friendly personnel. The location kept a 100% what we were expecting of a dream holiday resort in Koh Samui (tastefully furnished, clean, spacious rooms in a tropical garden, directly on the most beautiful sand beach of Koh Samui (a lot better than Chaweng - we personally checked it out !!). It is defenitely our preferred place to stay in Koh Samui and we will defenitely return next year. We recommended the place to friends today, that are travelling in June and asked us to recommend a place! Although we had a short escape of 1 day (30. - 31.3)to a real gorgeous 5 Star Luxury Hotel, we returned after one night (despite we were booked 4 days !), because even the 5-Star hotel just couldn´t compete at all with the beautiful location of the Samui Sense Beach Resort. The cost/performance ratio is excellent. The restaurant on the beach, sitting on nicely set tables with harmonic candles and lights with view over the bay and the sea, while feeling the warm white sand under your feet, is wonderful holiday feeling pure. The menue has a delicious, well selected variety of food and surprisingly we had the best cocktails there within our total stay in all Thailand ! Congratulations to the Hotel and thanks for having turned our vacation into a dream holiday.	Congratulations to the Hotel and thanks for having turned our vacation into a dream holiday.
PITTIKOUN 2008-03-08 until 2008-03-14	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach We had a very plesant stay. The crew from the hotel was very friendly and helpful. very good location and the beach was clean. I recommand this hotel for couples and family.	Very efficient and reactive.
Benjamin Foster 2007-12-28 until 2008-01-04	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Hotel was great. Friendly staff, and overall a wonderful stay. My only criticism is not of the hotel, but of the compulsory gala dinner that all hotels seem to expect you to pay. 4000 baht per person (about 60 pounds per head, not including wine) is very expensive, and I don t like being told what I have to do on Xmas or New Year s Eve.	Good.
simon 2007-01-07 until 2007-01-09	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach I stayed in the superior room for a couple of nights in Jan 2007. Room was very small. Service was below average. Breakfast and restaurant didn t impress me either. The best thing about this hotel was its location. This hotel is overpriced and not recommended.	Very Good.
Andreas Brandt 2006-10-31 until 2006-11-04	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Nice resort with very friendly and helpfull stuff. We stayed 4 nights at the thai villa. The room was clean and comfortable (with a hairdryer and save). The villa had pretty much space (enough for two person). The room is a little bit dark, but I think it s normal for a thai style villa. The pool is nice and the beach is clean and quiet near (20 m away). The breakfast is ok (you can choose between continental-, american- and thai breakfast). We would give 7 of 10 possible points.	The booking service was perfect. Very easy, very quick, very comfortable. We would choose sawadee ever again.
Randy Sizemore 2006-09-26 until 2006-09-29	Samui Sense Beach Resort, Lamai Beach Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The staff of the Samui was excellent and very friendly. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Stayed in one of the Thai Villas and it was fine. I will stay here again if I get back to Samui.	Booking service went smoothly - I encountered no problems at all.
Peter Lyons 2005-12-30 until 2006-01-02	Galaxy Resort, Lamai Beach Great location, friendly helpful staff and good facilities. The pool was nice and the restaurant was adequate. The bathroom was not the best and the room a little dark but comfortable. On the whole a 7 out of 10.	Excellent as always.
Sydney Hutchinson 2005-03-27 until 2005-04-10	Galaxy Resort, Lamai Beach The Galaxy Resort was in a perfect location for my needs, the staff very friendly and the room comfortable. BUT The hotel was in the middle of renovations to the main building, which we had not been informed about, so quite noisy during the day. The restaurant closed at 6pm every day although advertised till 11pm, but restaurants outside were very good. can really reccommend the Salatai as the food was superb.	Absolutely first class and hassle free. I also seem to have received a better deal than others in the hotel who booked by other means. Thankyou
