10/10I took a bit of a punt with Samudra asking 11 friends and family to join my wife and I at an unknown location on Koh Samui for her birthday. No one except me knew where they were going and without exception everyone of us wished we could stay longer and would love to go back. Working from the big picture in, the location itself is stunning. You feel that you are in charge of all the land and sea that you can look out upon. The rambling gardens and pathways and stunning big slabs of flat smooth local stone that guide you between buildings and are also often displayed within the heart of same buildings are amazing. The sense of peace space and privacy in the whole environment I am sure make Samudra unique on Samui. The beds are comfortable, everything works and it is a wonderful place to stay. All of the above is great but what adds to the whole experience is Dolly and her amazing team. With a big birthday to organise as well as daily meals and excursions not one of my questions or requests was ever answered with a 'no' or even a 'not Sure'. The answer was always an enthusiastic yes and best of all always delivered upon. We all totally loved our time here and would love to go back. I would be happy to be contacted by anyone considering Samudra.
10/10I cannot think of the words to describe this piece of paradise. It is truly a special place that if you are lucky enough to experience it you will never forget it. 13 members of our crazy family descended on Samudra for a family reunion. We thought that it was a scam because it all looked to good to be true on the internet so we were very relieved when the minivan came to pick us up. when we arrived we could not believe our eyes and proceeded to say WOW several times a day for the duration of our stay. The staff treat you like royalty and food is too good to even think about going elsewhere to eat. I hope that one day I am lucky enough to go back.
10/10After our first visit to Samudra we thought it could not get any better. But sure enough it did on the second visit. The property sits facing a chain of islands. From sunrise to sunset the ocean reflects the clearest blue. The food is prepared fresh daily by one of the finest Thai Chefs. The gardens are colorful. Each of the suites offer a unique experience. It was better than excellent.
