The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui

Hema Chopra

The most amazing stay at The Ritz Carlton celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Whole Team at the Hotel made us feel very special and we were overwhelmed by the kindness and warmth of level of service. The Champagne, cakes, beautiful flowers, cards and decorations helped make our celebrations super memorable. Special shout out to Ping and the Housekeeping Team. The Villa was very comfortable, with beautiful views of the sea. Food, drinks, pool bar were all just lovely.

A Luxurious Escape at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui My stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled on 58 acres of former coconut plantation, the resort offers a breathtaking view of crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches. The luxury all-suite beachfront resort blends perfectly with the laidback, authentic lifestyle of Koh Samui. The resort provides a range of stunning suites and private pool villas, each designed to cater to every guest’s needs, offering the perfect environment for both relaxation and rejuvenation. The experience here is unforgettable, with a variety of unique activities and cultural experiences, such as Muay Thai boxing classes, local-inspired treatments at the Spa Village, and southern Thai cooking classes. The resort's restaurants and bars are a culinary journey in themselves, embracing southern Thai flavors and offering vibrant dining options. What truly made my stay stand out was the impeccable service. All the staff I encountered were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Special thanks to Khun Nic at the front desk, who made finding the perfect room effortless, and Khun Ar at the beachside restaurant, whose warm hospitality added to the overall experience. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, I highly suggest you try Pak Tai Restaurant within the hotel. It offers a stunning view of a tranquil pond, and you’ll get to see plenty of fresh sea fish. The food is exceptional, showcasing authentic southern Thai dishes. Another highlight of the resort is the restaurant near the beach, which I absolutely loved. The view is spectacular, offering a romantic setting for a dinner by the beach, making it perfect for a special evening. I highly recommend The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui, for anyone looking for a luxurious and authentic Thai retreat. The service, surroundings, and experiences truly make this resort a standout.

The Ritz is undeniably a beautiful hotel, offering a luxurious and elegant atmosphere. However, upon arrival, the first thing you encounter is a cluttered area of suitcases waiting to be checked in, which slightly detracts from the initial impression. For those opting for half-board, it’s not immediately clear which restaurants are included in this service. We had to ask three different members of staff before finally getting a clear answer, which was frustrating and could have been communicated more effectively. Surprisingly, the hotel does not offer communication via WhatsApp, which is a standard service in many luxury hotels. Instead, you have to call directly for any requests, which feels outdated and less convenient. Attention to detail was also missed in a few areas. There were no branded bedroom slippers, which you’d typically expect from a hotel of this caliber. Additionally, the ceiling had a noticeable layer of dust, which shouldn’t be the case in a luxury setting. While the overall experience was enjoyable, improvements in organization, cleanliness, and communication would enhance the guest experience significantly.

We had a great stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui. The hotel grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained. The staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and attentive. We stayed in a suite — it was large and still quite impressive, though a bit dated in some areas. There are several excellent dining options within the hotel, offering both variety and quality. The beach itself is rather average, and at times, it was difficult to find staff for service — something that should be improved given the price point. Both pools are great for swimming, especially the adult-only pool at the spa, which was a highlight.
