Dara Samui Beach Resort - Adult Only

We just got back from an outstanding stay at Dara Samui beach resort which I would happily recommend to anyone who would like to stay there. I also recommend booking from their website directly which what we have done . Location : the location is excellent it is a Beach front Adults only resort in the heart of Chaweng which is a very lively area , the great thing that once in the resort it feels very quiet and isolated from the outside world in a good way and once you step outside you are right in the middle of everything , the hotel is surrounded with convenient stores , restaurants , pharmacies and everything is near by. The rooms : the rooms were spacious clean and tidy , they even provide you with bath robes , slippers and Beach bag (which we found brilliant and ended up buying it :-) as well as 2 umbrellas so you don’t need to pack yours . Housekeeping have been outstanding keeping the room and the entire property very clean Pool and beach : the pool is of a very decent size right by the beach where the staff keep the sun beds and the parasols ready for their guests , there is happy hour for cocktails at the pool bar and lunch menu as well . There is a massage service on the beach which we haven’t tried but it seemed quite popular. The hotel also offers the usage of paddle board for free for in-house guest which we enjoyed a lot . **the staff** we found the staff as the hotel’s most important asset, they were all very attentive , polite and welcoming . They are led by the hotel resource manager “Mas “ who hosts a a complimentary cocktail hour in the late afternoon of every Monday where she introduces the staff to the guests and gets everyone Involved. It has been very hard trying to remember the staff members names as they all have been outstanding but it’s worth mentioning the names we remember , from the front office staff : Meow, Tri, Gift,Arthur and Pear & our hotel driver has been very polite and helpful too .(worth booking the airport pickup and drop off through the hotel it will be like 1£ extra or so.) From the beach bar area the team has been brilliant we would like to thank Kevin , Nay , Sara and everyone who works there . “”Security and safety “” unlike other hotels the hotel entrance is always manned , & one of the nights we were hanging by the beach then after we came back to the room , the door knocked and one of the staff brought one of our iPhones that we forgot by the pool area and didn’t realise that we did till he brought it back to us . The hotel also creates an ambient dinner by the beach every night and they cater for any special occasions. There is also WIFI coverage throughout the property with room network and Beach area network I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it .

This hotel is superb thanks to its excellent location: it offers direct access to the beach and is not too far from shopping and entertainment venues, yet remains very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. The staff is always attentive to needs and quickly learns guests' preferences. The breakfast is extensive, and the restaurant offering is also very comprehensive, with the option to dine with your feet in the sand on the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Dara Samui Beach Resort, and we would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the amazing staff. A special thank you to the front desk team, especially Pin and Nam. They were incredibly kind, professional, and always willing to help. They went above and beyond by being flexible with our cooking class reservation, allowing us to cancel it and later rebook it without any problem. Their warm, caring, and respectful attitude made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. We would also like to thank the kitchen team, led by Chef Kak, who made our cooking class an unforgettable experience. The class was excellent, with a great variety of delicious dishes, and Chef Kak was very attentive and sensitive to our special dietary needs. His passion, patience, and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. A special thank you also goes to the photographer, who accompanied us throughout the entire cooking class. He captured so many beautiful moments with kindness, patience, and a smile, giving us wonderful memories that we will cherish for years to come. We truly appreciate the warm hospitality we received from everyone at the hotel. The genuine care, friendliness, and outstanding service made our stay truly special. We will definitely recommend Dara Samui Beach Resort to our family and friends and hope to return in the future.

We stayed at Dara Samui for 13 nights and truly cannot fault a single thing — it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. The hotel has the feel of a small, intimate boutique property, and the style and design throughout are genuinely special — elegant, unique, and full of character. What stood out most, though, was the staff. I have honestly never encountered a team so warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The level of service here is in a league of its own. Breakfast was delicious and varied every day, and our room was beautifully appointed. We will absolutely be coming back, and we recommend this hotel without any hesitation. A hidden gem — don't miss it!
