Am Samui Resort Taling Ngam

Very secluded spot with lovely bungalows on the beach the shower is not very good the sink and tap are loose this isn’t too much of a problem for me but maybe to some, The beach itself is nice but it’s very shallow water and we have seen some beautiful beaches whilst here in Thailand I would rate this one 3-10 There is not really a beach walk We have booked for 2 nights which will be perfect wouldn’t want to stay any longer.

Perfect hotel and lovely facilities just very limited on what you can do as very remote

Am Samui resort is a quiet and peaceful accommodation with a nice, quiet beach to walk along and a restaurant with good food. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The bungalow we had to switch to, as the AC didn't work in the first one, was very good - a comfortable bed, good AC and a fridge, cleaning every day and refilling of water bottles, tea and coffee. Nice view of the sea, close to sunbeds. Thai massage can be booked at short notice. The pool is good. This is a quiet place overall with little traffic, few people, few stray dogs, no crowds whatsoever, no beach vendors, no hustle and bustle! Lovely! It's easy to walk or go by a scooter to 7/11 and other restaurants nearby, or to travel by taxi to other places on the island for shopping, excursions and activities, more restaurants, more beaches. Very good yoga classes are available a few minutes' walk away, at Marga yoga. Also more good restaurants. I highly recommend Am samui resort on the west coast of Koh Samui.

Room was the one we booked, there was a wedding till 02:30am which we did not sleep and power cut of more than 4hrs shich we did not sleep u til 4am. Was a complete disaster experience with all guests complaining about the excessive noise and no sleep.

I chose this place because of the relative remoteness and beauty. If you want nightlife and markets this is not the place. However, if you want to relax away from busy tourist areas this resort is terrific. It was also a pleasant surprise to find horse-riding which I really enjoyed. (Make sure you book horse riding at a time that is not high tide.) The food is great value and there are good alternative options within walking distance. There are a couple of things that could be improved but I had the pleasure of meeting the new owner Matt and management team and I am sure that they will make this place even better and really capitalize on the location. I loved my stay here - which was quite long.

The bungalows look nice and the bed and pillows are comfortable. I found the food to be insufficient and overpriced (small salad was 200 baht) and the staff not as service oriented or understanding of guests as they could have been. The included al acarte breakfast was meager, with the fruit consisting of a few slices of watermelon and pineapple. A small banana was an extra charge, I was told. For someone spending a few thousand baht per night, I found this off-putting and money grubbing, leading me to dislike being there, so I did not continue for additional nights. Feeling appreciated as a guest is important. Providing a banana w a cost of maybe 1 or 2 baht when asked would make a guest feel that the staff cares about their happiness without needing to make more profit. Also the ocean is not swimmable here…the tide is way out and the area pretty rocky.
