Elizabeth Smeaton 2008-10-10	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay Lovely aspect- lovely rooms - quiet and self contained. The service was good. Restaurant was absolutely dreadful - the only thing we could come up with was that it was the slow season and there was no chef? So we would recommend taking the shuttle to one of the shop/restaurant areas. We did not swim in the ocean as there was no sea life in the rock pools and they were full of sludge which was disappointing and probably due to infrastructure not keeping up with the large amount of new building on the island.	Excellent
Elisabeth Trockenbacher 2008-08-30	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay Very nice situated hotel, rooms are spacious, nice garden & beach. Staff is not that attentive, food is mediocre, breakfast ok, but Thai soups and curries very boring.	Booking Service did work very well for us.
Kenneth Fullarton 2008-04-03 until 2008-04-19	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay Arayaburi Resort is a very quiet peaceful resort with access to a lovely beach which is fairly private . The rooms are well appointed with ample facilities ie a full size fridge. Staff are very attentive towards guests and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is a buffet with food for all tastes. Housekeeping staff are very thoughtful as our person brought us wild flowers every day which wich was a very nice personal touch. We stayed for 16 days and enjoyed every day. We would recommend this resort for anyone wanting to chill. The resort is fairly remote so some form of transport may be needed if you wanted to explore the Island, we hired a small Jeep from the resort which suited our purposes. The hotel transport goes to Chawaeng several times a day which you have to pay for. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return.	Very easy and helpful. We had to add days once we were in Thailand and this was done in a matter of minutes which was much appreciated. We were also informed that we then qualified for 4 free days accommodation which was refunded immediately. Thank You
Richard Jansson 2007-04-05 until 2007-04-09	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay April -07.A little bit unpersonal but good service. Nice looking beach but a little diificult to swim in the sea becuase of rocks and the sea a litlle rough. Pool very good for the children. Comfortable beach house. A bit off the road so you have to plan for shopping trips etc.
Eklof 2007-03-05 until 2007-03-11	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay Very nice hotel with spacious bungalows, large refrigerators and safetybox. A bit off but hotelbus 100 Baht/person to Chaweng beach one way (20 minutes). Beutifully situated restaurant overlooking the bay, 150 m sandbeach. Rocks under water, a little difficult to enter sea at low water. Staff very friendly. Left for Samui Natien Hotel at Chaweng beach but fled back to this oasis after 2 nights.. Good prices for rooms, only hotelrestaurant availible, hence higher prices than in Chaweng. But alltogether I highly recommend this hotel!!
Dean Borg & Enza Bruno 2007-02-05 until 2007-02-15	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay We enjoyed the quiet location of the resort. We rented a motorbike, which gave us the freedom to explore other parts of the island. The beach is quite rocky, but peaceful. The food in the restaraunt was good, but you will find more variety and full price range away from the resort. Our Superior Villa was clean and very quiet. The staff was very helpful, especially the front desk, who arranged with Thai Airways to change our fligh at the last minute. If you want an affordable and peaceful escape away from the crowds, this is the place. We would recommend this resort to others.	Booking was fast and without any surprises or hidden fees.

Karin Johnson 2006-11-28 until 2006-12-04	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, read that best seller everyone is talking about, or rediscover romance, this is the resort for you. I stayed in the Grand Deluxe Villas, and they are definitely worth the extra money. Front row, on the beach (villas # 101, 103, 105, 106 offer the best views), and close to the pool and restaurant. Chaweng beach and shopping district is 10 minutes away by taxi/hotel shuttle. Food in restaurant is good, and staff are very friendly and attentive. If you want gourmet food, Chaweng has some better restaurants but you might need reservations. Not a party resort. If you want that, book a hotel on Phuket, or in Chaweng. Ocean bay has calm waters, great for swimming, sea kayaking. Tours of island and other activites available through local tour groups, information available in the lobby. There is an Arayaburi hotel in Chaweng, so make sure taxi driver knows you re going to Arayaburi Resort on Samrong Bay. No problem getting there, 10 minute ride from airport. There is a 300 Baht departure tax at Samui Airport that we were not aware of (thought only international departures had to pay tax, but all passengers have to pay). Would definitely go back there, and recommend this resort to friends.	Booking and payments were very easy. I needed to change dates after initial booking, contacted sawadee.com and received email confirmation of my request within 12 hours. Make sure to bring confirmation voucher to hotel for check-in, that s how they get reimbursed from sawadee.
Yuan Peng 2006-08-31 until 2006-09-01	Arayaburi Boutique Resort, Samrong Bay Very very beautiful place, nice house, wonderful garden and seaview, feel like heaven!	I have never used sawadee.com before, the service is very fast and efficient. 100% will use it again!
