Explorar Koh Samui

I stayed here for 2 nights with my sister in a twin room. One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in! When we arrived we were greeted by super friendly staff, and given coconuts with rum and cold towels. The room was amazing. Comfortable beds, spacious, modern. The pool and beach side area were so luxurious.

I have nothing against the hotel itself. I think the hotel appears a bit crammed with people hanging towels around the pool area, everyone has a very small area to relax around. Not everyone comes to a 5* hotel to want this sort of ambience. Otherwise, the hotel is actually lovely. The breakfast was ok. More 4* and very few PB options. The breakfast I would still think is ok as I was with others who were omnivores. They didn’t rate it that highly. I did have a lovely pad Thai for lunch there. Prices of course are higher. I loved the soy iced Thai tea. The service at breakfast was good. The bar staff around at lunch are wonderful Burmese and Myanmar staff. They took really good care of me. Were smiling and was great to see comraderie. I heard a pair say they had missed each other! I did enjoy spending time there for the day around the umbrellas. There is no beach front sand, it goes straight to water. A lovely little walk across to the left (wading through the water) you find massage places and a little lagoon. I enjoyed the exploration.

We had some issues with the room but Kate, from the reception, who by the way speaks perfectly English, helped us out so much! It changed a bad experience into a wonderful stay. The breakfast compared to other hotels in Thailand was exceptionally good! Especially the egg options and the free iced coffee/ matcha drinks were an add on. In general the area is more quiet than expected. But if you look for a nice & chill holiday, I would say this one is perfect. I agree, that they would put additional sun beds next to the pool, but during our stay, it was so cloudy, that we didn’t care too much.

We were lucky enough to stay in a pool villa at Explorar. It was exactly what we were looking for in an adults only resort. Very chill vibes all day, plenty of different spots and places to relax. The main pool area did get busy at times which made it very pleasing to be able to retreat to our own private pool. Would highly recommend staying here for anyone who wants a pleasant, relaxing place to stay, and definitely consider a pool villa or beach front villa.

Had our honeymoon here and we're glad we stayed. Airport shuttle and check-in was easy, we particularly enjoyed the coconut rum welcome drink. It was our first time visiting an Adult only resort and the relaxed atmosphere suited us. The staff are friendly and attentive and the room had a breathtaking view. My favourite was treating myself at the  inhouse Spa. The masseuse are friendly and skilled. Overall, we both had a very relaxing time and would love to come back again. Thank you to the team for making our stay a memorable one.
