Royal Muang Samui Villas

Zeljko Klaric

Nothing really to criticize. Huge rooms, very friendly staff, beautiful, lush green grounds. Beach was awesome, food was great. And you'll get free drinking water bottles (glass!!) every day. Massage was good, pool area was good. Breakfast was brilliant, which was more like Brunch with daily changing warm Asian dishes. The area around is much quieter than Chaweng and offers plenty of eating out opportunities as well. Can highly recommend!

Did lots of research before deciding to bring family here (18yr daughter + 15yr son). From start to finish we loved it. Rooms are huge, with very Thai feel, each has a balcony. We wanted authentic Thai and not a box standard international hotel. Service and friendliness of all staff was outstanding. Reception were very helpful in booking all our trips, restaurants and taxis. Strangely some people's reviews about breakfasts here were mixed. There was so much choice (considering it's not a big hotel) and was all wonderfully fresh. So much fruit, breads, yogurt, pastries, cooked options. Even a juice counter where you choose the fruit for them to prepare your freshly squeezed drinks. Beautiful setting overlooking the pool and beach. Breakfast was one of daily highlights. Beach is perfect, white sands with lots of different options for eating, never too crowded. We ate out locally most nights. The one disappointment was the weekly BBQ on the beach. Although great setting, food wasn't the best we had.

Visited Samui villas for my honeymoon. It was such a beautiful and unique place. Rooms clean. Facilities incredible. Service perfect. You should visit. The beach of the hotel is beautiful ❤️ would definitely visit again! I love the place

Didn't stay here, just had a meal. To get from the front lobby to the beachfront you really need to take an electric golf buggy which is available free of charge quite a bit of a hassle. There are two Beachside / poolside restaurants. The food was very tasty but cold by the time it got to our table. Nice atmosphere overlooking a pool with a waterfall and a calm Beach. It's a bit expensive but you get what you pay for.

You know when you stay somewhere and you can’t remember why you chose it, Royal Muang is that place. It’s quite nice without being particularly great at anything. It’s really functional, not too expensive, and it has old world Thai charm - often old and often charming. When you roll up, check-in is fine but there’s a whole thing where they walk you through the minutae of downloading their app. You’re sitting there the whole time like “girl, I have many apps, I got this, but pls show me every screen”. Thank god for the calming welcome drink and the unwavering friendliness. Your room will be massive. Like 3 normal rooms smushed to make one super room. And the bed is big too. You will need to text your partner if they are on the other side. But they are wearing and feel dated. The spa bath was kind of grandma bathroom yellow and the jets were vigorous but all kind of weird. I don’t understand a side waterfall in the bath. Furniture was comfy, it was all kind of ok, just a bit dark and a bit old. Breakfast is good, generous buffet-style. Fight your way through kids, big units, exhausted parents and you’ll be rewarded with nice eggs, bread, fruit… local dishes were surprisingly sparse and unappealingly congealed in the Bain Marie misery trays. Solid 7/10, like dinner at your grandparents. Sun lounger and pool area are fine, lots of early hoarding of the best spots. Towel = ownership. Kind of annoying, also always a sign of not enough beds. Be cool everyone, just share. Also this is squarely a family hotel. So many kids. But choeng mon is a family beach. Location is right on the beach but the hotel is big so you might also have quite a walk to your room like we did, but that also put us near the street to grab supplies from 7-11 or get a massage. But if you don’t mind a walk, all g. I like to use the gym, but it was like stepping into the 90s. Basic treadmills, reclining bike, one cross trainer and dumbbells. All really old and thoroughly well used. Got me through but wasn’t a nice experience. Pure function, like how it feels to drive a van. So it’s fine. It has all the things, I think it’s just aging, and needs a big iOS update. It’s an iPhone 5 in an iPhone 16 world. But sometimes who needs the latest right?
