Coconut Grove Hotel Samui

It was basic but immaculately clean and a stones throw from the beach. I was a little drunk one night and forgot I left 12,000 baht inside my pillow. As we were leaving the next day the cleaner came running down saying I had left money in room. I was so thankful I gave her a 1000 baht tip. This is the second time this has happened. I forgot to get my 500 baht deposit from our 1st hotel and the lady came running to my taxi to give it to me. So overall I find the Thai ppl very honest very kind and very nice ppl xxx

If I had to complain about something. Is that the aeropanes fly over this hotel. But not all day everyday and stop completely around 8-9pm

Great location for Beach & Shops

N/A

The first room I had was street-facing where two - three bars compete to see who could play louder music until 0200, so that really impacts the noise level in those rooms. You have to be a night owl. I upgraded to a room on the inside of the courtyard, and it was totally worth it. Extended my stay to five nights in that room. The beds in both rooms remarkably comfortable, you don't find that a lot in Thailand so will mention again the beds were truly amazing. The second room also had Smart TV, king bed and tons of space so worth the upgrade. The pool is okay; not really cool enough to be refreshing but it's fun to have a splash after a sun bake. The location of the hotel couldn't really be any better; less than a minute in any direction to everything you might be looking for. The main lady at Reception (Mai or Mah) was fantastic to deal with, very professional. Helped me rent a scooter with the hotel holding my passport - an excellent model for anyone with "passport deposit phobia" like I do.

The cleanliness of the common areas is a bit lacking (the rooms were terrific though) and there were an unusual amount of fruit fly type insects in my room, like dozens of them all the time. They didn't bite or sting but still a nuisance to have so many flying things landing on you all the time. Thankfully they didn't bother me when sleeping. The sliding balcony door was shut tight so must be coming in through the vent "grate". Really should have a screen on that. The pool area shares space with an ethnic restaurant and the whole thing feels a little odd where hotel guests only have 3 loungers to use because the restaurant takes up the rest of the space. It's not an integrated "breakfast kitchen" so a separate enterprise than Coconut. It's strange they don't use the shady area right beside the restaurant for seating instead of taking up the sunny spots along the hedge where hotel guests WANT to be getting sun and they have to cover it with canopies for sun protection. ??? To me it's an inefficient use of space and overall an awkward setup.

Room size was fine.

AC wasn’t working properly. Washroom taps were broken. Too much insects
