Aqua Beads Samed

Location is on the dirty side of the island’s beaches. Lots of garbage can be seen on the beach… most business were shut or gone out of business(b’cos of covid?) Our room, did not look like the picture and looked pretty beaten up …also, our room didn’t have warm water. We got moved to another room but toilet was broken so got moved to third room with no view. We called and visited the the front desk but for hours no one answered or attended us. Swimming pool looked dirty. There was a private party so the small beach front area was occupied by thus group so others didn’t have access to the beach. There were no food or drink on the premises for sale. Nearby area has subpar food . We paid nearly 3000 baht/night to stay at their most basic room whereas the waterfront rooms cost about 9000 baht according to the frontdesk. I do not recommend this place.

An excellent little resort. The rooms are clean and spacious, fantastic shower and a clean bathroom. The food we had as part of a package was really good, plenty of choice. The breakfast which was a mixture of buffet and a menu offering things like omelette or scrambled and a slice of bacon. This is also one of the few places (resorts/hotels) in Thailand that has realised that most westerners like a slice or two of bacon with their breakfast. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Nice beach and relaxing environment. Room not at the standard. Ants and small animals even inside the bed sheets. Breakfast very basic, no hot water in the room and when asked to fix, the day after still no hot water. Only breakfast available and no restaurant at the venue. Ants everywhere around breakfast area. Too expensive for the rate charged.
