Tan Hang Yong 2008-10-03	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Hotel facilities and service were excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was nicely decorated and spacious. However, try and avoid rooms facing the main road as it got really noisy in the morning.	Fast and prompt replies to my requests. Very efficient!!! Thank you!!!
as 2008-09-20	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach I had a vacation in Bandara Resort and Spa for 6 days. It s a quite good resort. Near fishment village, not remote and has some stores nearby, very convenient. The environment is good, lots of tropical trees and flowers in the reosrt. Beach closes to resort and good although Bophut is not the best beach in Samui. Facilities are OK, free internet service, spa, diving shop and rent a car service are B+. But diving shop is a small store with old equipment, not valued the price, not recommend. We had stayed at the deluxe room and villa. Firt day we entered the bathroom, there were many ants in the bathtub. Beside, we had found some dirtiness on the bedsheet. It reflected that the housekeeping was not enought cautious. On the other hands, the staff were enthusiastic and always tried the best to finish your request. However, lots of time they had no good communication among themselves. We needed to change the room to villa and already gave the voucher to the reception when we checked-in, but they still believed we checked out after staying 2N at deluxe room. They stopped our key to enter the room and the bill-signing service. We needed to explain what was our arrangement for many times to different staff. They seemed to understand what happened. I think this is the reason why Bandara is four star resort. Improvement is needed to make better service.	excellent, perfect, A+
Katarina Brannelid & Richard Ratcliffe 2008-09-14	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Second time we stayed in this resort during our honeymoon. Simpley perfect! The staff, the restaurants, surroundings, everything. Great for babies too. THe head chef even ran from the BBQ party too cook us private dinner in the pther restaurant. TOP TOP service. Truly wonderful place.
Richard Ratcliffe 2008-09-05	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach A wonderful hotel. We stayed in the private villa since it was our honeymoon. The service was excellent, honeymooncake and champagne to the room. Food was lovely! I absolutely recommand this hotel to anyone going to Koh Samui. Heaven at good price!
MARCHAL 2008-07-03 until 2008-07-11	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Excellent hotel, very kind and efficient staff, quiet environment. The manager even invited us for my birthday dinner.We can only recommand this hotel as a great place to stay if you want relaxed holidays. Breakfast is a real treat, unfortunatly other meals, beverages and the spa are overpriced, but that are a lot of possibilities to eat outside the hotel. It is definitely our place to stay if we are going back to Samui!	Efficient and easy to use. The best way to make bookings for holidays in Thailand
Javier Salazar 2008-05-14 until 2008-05-18	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Very nice hotel accomodations, we stayed at a cottage villa and it was incredible. Just as the picture shows of the hotel. Breakfast very good, dinner in beach restaurant not as good. Service staff always attentive and kind. Scuba shop with great administration, spent 2 days diving.	No problems at all.
Madeleine Douglas 2008-03-23 until 2008-03-29	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Nice hotel on a nice part of Bophut Beach. Close to walk to Fisherman s Village. Hotel s taxi service very efficient. Could do with more attentive service around main pool area, but on the whole a nice hotel.	Efficient, easy to book. Will use them again.
Jon Simon Grue 2008-02-10 until 2008-02-21	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Our stay at Bandara was furfilled to every expactation. The trip to Koh Samui was not only a vacation but also our wedding. We stayed in one of the Bungalows with a small private pool(wery good when you are travelling with a 6 year old kid). The bugalow has bambo fences around and you have 100 % privacy.The Hotel is very nice and the staff is very professional in every need and questions we had. The Hotel is quite new and have two big fresh water pools (one by the beach and one at the hotel area. When we planned our wedding we ordered a Western wedding package from the Hotel. That have to be the most easy way to have a wedding. We told the Hotel wich date we would have the wedding, the colour of the flower arrangements and decided on a menu for the dinner. The rest was handeled by the staff. And I would say that it went over our expectations (Often the wedding planning can be a big challange in a relation). We had the wedding in the garden were they built up a beautiful podium for the cermony and everything was arranged in a very tasteful way. Also in the wedding package we had a photografer that took over 300 pictures of the wedding. All digital and at a very high quality. We chose Thai food for the Wedding dinner and I have to say it was exellent. All togheter Bandara Resort and Spa went over all our expectations. A special Thanks to Niracha at Bandara, she was hands on on everything and is a asset for this Hotel.	Fast replays on all questions. No problems.
Michael Hansen 2007-12-28 until 2007-12-29	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach The hotel is set on the most beautiful grounds, isolated from the fairly busy road. Lush greenery, superbly maintained and several lovely swimming pools. Great beach, a bit narrow but with a fantastic view of neighbouring Koh Phan Gan. The rooms are clean, with very comfortable beds, everything pretty well arranged for your comfort. The staff were efficient and very friendly and the restaurant was pleasant enough. The buffet dinner at the beach restaurant was a bit overpriced and a trifle too touristy but nevertheless a great stay. One last thing, the cocktails at the beach bar were fantastic. Super Caiparinha s	Very efficiently handled including transfers etc. Enjoyed the efficiency of the confirmation email and sms
Pascale Khalaf 2006-12-12 until 2006-12-19	Bandara Resort and Spa, Bophut Beach Everything from the Staff to the food to the hygiene to the maintenence and look/design of the whole place was absolutely superb. For such a large resort it really didn t feel too resorty at all! I recomend this hotel for anyone considering staying there. Well worth the money too.
