Karin Svensson 2008-08-17	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach We had a lovely stay at Malibu Garden Resort. Vong Duen Beach is a beautiful beach with a really nice nightlife for us, a family with three children (8-14 years). The hotel was clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The helped us, for example, arranging a boattrip around the beautiful island Koh Samet including very good snorkeling. We had a big familyroom with five beds that was perfect for us. Hot water in shower, air-cond, TV and a big refridgerator included. And the hotel garden is really beautiful (and well keept) with a lot of threes, flowers and butterflies. It´s near the beach and some small shops and a lot of good restaurants. The breakfast was ok. We will absolutely go back here again!!!	Perfect! Easy and realiable.
Un-Hui Sheng 2008-08-08 until 2008-08-10	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach The hotel is fine, not particular great. Quite anoying that you actually have to rent a beach towel, plus pay for deposit in renting towel! The beach is great by the way!
DAWN LEWIS 2008-05-03 until 2008-05-06	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach DO NOT STAY HERE! I stupidly ignored all the other comments left by other people, I wish I hadn t! In a nutshell the staff are very, very miserable. Unhelpful and generally look cheesed off with it all. I had the deluxe room which was extrememly overpriced at 2600 baht per night. The place is dirty and the breakfast even though it goes on until 10.30, everything had run out at 9.50am and they didn t seem keen to put anymore food out. Try the Silver Sands resort futher up the beach. Great reviews from there.
Diana 2008-03-19 until 2008-03-26	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Beautiful garden, friendly staff, best location you can think of! Rooms were OK. Cleaning was very good. Breakfast not the best in the world but OK. The pool was not nice,but who needs a pool when the best beach is outside the door?!	Very good!
Keith Blouin 2008-03-07 until 2008-03-09	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Overall, the beach and restaurants are awesome...the rooms are overpriced and a little dirty, the bed and pillows are horrible and the bathroom has no shower curtain so water sprays everywhere. Find a different hotel at this beach	the booking service was great!!
Ville Viljanen 2008-02-10 until 2008-02-13	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Good beach, good location. Peaceful and quiet gardenlike atmosphere. Breakfast pretty simple but did the job. No smiles to be expected from staff and English skills should be improved. Rooms clean enough. Price a bit high for a place like this.
Kam 2008-02-10 until 2008-02-11	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Kind of disappointment staying in this hotel. Breakfast is not good. Only instant coffee is available. Lot of flies and mosquitos that really bother you all the time. Room is not clean. TV has limited channels. NO hot water provided, unlike what it said hot water available on the internet. When complainting this to hotel staff, they seems that they don t care what you said. No apology or sorry ! Just said yes, no hot water. That s it. No phone nor internet service available from this hotel. Must go to other hotels to make calls or use internet. Price is not cheap as compared to nearby hotels. Not worthy staying in this hotel.
Petter Lindfors 2007-12-26 until 2007-12-28	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach This was our second stay at this resort, we arrived on the 26th of December so the hotel was almost fully booked. On our first stay we thought the hotel was fair for the price (during July). This time we got a room, where the shower almost didn´t work. The beds were so soft/worn out that you had to place yourself in the middle of them, not to fall off. Also the hotel claimed that there were energy savings so there was no electricity during daytime. The aircon made so much noice even in shut off position, so we had to switch off all power to the room to get silence. Also the breakfast is poor, very poor (Instant coffee, toast, jam, egg and fruit) so after the first meal we decided to take breakfast outside the hotel. We are traveling with a small child, and the hotel does not have a babycot. There is a pool, but it´s not very clean and with the wonderful beach, who uses it? On the positive note, the hotel put alot of energy into the garden around the bungalows, and it looks very nice. I would not reccomend this hotel, it´s not worth the money.	Worked perfectly as usual
Petter Lindfors 2007-07-17 until 2007-07-19	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach The hotel is a bit old but our room was newly refurbished. We booked the cheapest room and it was ok for the money. Small TV with many channels. The room was clean and towels changed daily. The hotel is on a very nice and for Koh Samet, large beach. Breakfast was very poor with few choises and bad quality. We used the pool but it looked kind of dirty and is small. We took the taxi from the pier, and it was a bad choise, the road to the hotel is almost gone after the rains and the hotel has its own boat that take you to and from Ban Phe, use that one instead of taking the regular ferry. I would recomend the hotel for a short stay but not for a longer stay, the next beach is much nicer and secluded.	Excellent as usual!
Mr John 2007-03-09 until 2007-03-12	Malibu Garden Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach I was in Thailand for one month. This hotel was the most expensive hotel I used this time. I had a deluxe room, the room was just ok, noting special at all. The breakfast was not very good. The staff was not service minded at all. I see no smile from anyone at this hotel. The beach was very nice, allot of people in the daytime. In the nighttime there was served allot of good seafood on the same beach. I will not use this hotel again, and I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.	Excellent as always!!
