Tubtim Resort

The location was perfect. Right at the beach, and it was perfect for the kids. Also, the food and fire show was great.

There was a pack of dogs barking all night and kept us awake the two nights we were there. Nobody did anything about them, so we had to chase them away ourselves.

It’s on one of the most amazing beaches in Koh Samet. Big sandy beach with amazing water. I stayed next door last trip. It wanted to save a few bucks so stayed here this time. The restaurant was good and the coffee shop on site was also nice.

The rooms are pretty basic. Some of the rooms can be a bit of a walk up the hill. Water pressure was pretty bad but hey you are on a small island, I get it. You will have to take motorbike or tuk tuk into “town” if you want some more “action” You are mostly paying for the location here which again is fantastic if you are looking for a quiet secluded beach.

It is a set of very nice bungalows, at a super nice beach, it is peaceful, also the prices of food and drinks not too expensive. Can have massage on the beach. You can hire a scooter and do laundry just around the corner. I was in low season and it was very calm then.

I had bad luck I guess with my steak at the restaurant. After I complained they waved the charge, which was fine for me. Not many touristic activities like trips and sports or jet ski at the beach. Just beach and restaurant and a bar.

The breakfast buffet! Beach area was well maintained, clean and tidy. All units had a short walk to the beach, but not all had a view of anything (I had a view of a large disused building)

The reception staff were very critical and sceptical. It was completely out of the question to get my room key before I had paid in the way prescribed by the hotel. I asked if I could go to my room and sort out my finances, but that was not allowed. There’s no new water bottle unless you hand in your key at reception for room cleaning. I asked about filtered water, but was simply told no. You have to sign out bath towels. You’re not allowed to take your coffee out of the breakfast area. And no access to drinking water, unless you hand in your key, a bit annoying when you’re at the beach and it’s hot The reception staff sit behind a plastic wall making it difficult to communicate and to develop any kind of rapport
