10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay at the Banyan Tree and absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had the best trip. All of the restaurants are excellent and offer a variety of choices but the Thai food was exceptional. The property is beautiful, well maintained and all of the amenities are superb. We can't wait to return."

"Quiet location up on the cliff with great views out to the ocean and surrounding beaches. Spacious, well maintained rooms with a private swimming pool. Staff were very friendly and exceedingly helpful, nothing was a bother. Restaurant on site was very nice. Being based up on the cliff made it a little more difficult to explore local restaurants, etc. but the property provided transport to and from anywhere we needed to go. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing Koh Samui experience."

"Poolsawat is the perfect choice- great location, great staff and a tasty breakfast buffet, what more could you ask for? There are many choices for food nearby as well as a restaurant onsite that makes great food and tasty smoothies. The staff is always smiling and helpful and everything is very clean. Do yourself a favor and get a massage next door. The pool is clean and they even have a couple floats and some pool toys, beyond that is the beach with soft sand. I would definitely stay there again."

"The room had a great view and balcony to enjoy a morning cup of tea. Staff were always available to help as needed and the food was good. I loved the location as it was quiet, further down the beach from some of the busier spots. But also close enough to walk to another beach bar. It has a nice pool area and we were able to rent a scooter on site. I would stay again."
