What guests think
At Dara Samui Beach Resort Adults Only, Chaweng, travellers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly staff and generous breakfast, and like being right on Chaweng with easy access to restaurants and nightlife, though some report late-night noise from nearby clubs.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable with Thai-style decor, but parts feel dated, bathrooms can be tired, and a few guests noted Wi-Fi hiccups or weak shower pressure. The pool and beachfront setting are attractive, yet loungers can be limited, the pool smaller than photos suggest, and the sandy strip often disappears or is too shallow for swimming at high tide. Most guests find the property clean and well kept, while a minority mentioned inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance. Overall, expect warm service and a lively, convenient base rather than a tranquil, swim-friendly beach escape.

Pas de parking. Chambre ok. Par contre petit déjeuner inadmissible pour ce prix et ce type d'hôtel ! Très peu de choix, personnel pas aimable ni serviable. Quand au resto, super romantique sur la plage mais la nourriture n'est vraiment pas terrible et très/trop chère pour ce que c'est! Nous n'y mettrons plus jamais les pieds!

I e been tying many different resorts in similar price range with similar ratings and this was pretty high up on all areas - except for two items. Parking is almost impossible- the local taxi service parks multiple cars right in front and even cones off available spots to save for other drivers. You have to argue and wrestle with them - sometimes they back fown and others not - the hotel can’t do anything because they pay the police so they won’t make them move! It’s prime party spot for Chaweng - so good luck. 2nd is that there’s the biggest club not too far away and if snd when the wind is blowing from the wrong direction- you hear and feel the noise and beat until 5am. Many guests complained - but nothing the resort can do- 2 nights no problem. 2 night- ear plugs didn’t even help. Breakfast was one of the better ones in the area. Very convenient location for dinner, activities If you don’t have a car and are a heavy sleeper- this is great place!

Great location. Lovely old Thai Style accommodation. Shame as a 5 star hotel they charge for a bucket of ice and they need to do something about the seating at pool and beach area. Not suffer by a long shot. We couldn’t get a seat anyway we were there.

Det här är ett trevligt trestjärnigt hotell. Vi var trots bristerna ok med vistelsen. Skulle säga att inga rum har utsikt. Svårt med solstolar. ( vi fick paxa 06:45 för att få vettig plats) Stranden försvinner helt mitt på dagen pga tidvatten. Tyvärr skräpig strand. Som vanligt i Thailand trevlig personal som försöker. Men sämsta hotellet jag bott på i Thailand sedan jag började åka hit för 30 år sedan.

Exceptional room. Exceptional breakfast. Exceptional and lovely staff. Ideal central Chaweng location, and on the beach. Only downside for me was that the pool beach bar area was a bit too congested, too crowded - the tide was often unusually high during my stay so they could not have sunbeds on the beach as I think they usually would, so this restricted the space available. I would like to think I’ll be able to stay again.

Room was nice, cleaned well daily, good airconditioning. Pool area very tight; hardly any pool deck, few lounges — not as it looks in the pictures. Breakfast was good. Area of Chaweng beach is shabby— doesn’t feel like an island getaway.

Chambres superbes .Petit dejeuner de qualité avec beaucoup de choix sous forme de buffet en revanche grosse déception au niveau de la plage. Avec les marées le matin il n y a pas de plage la mer revient jusque vers marches de l hôtel. Il n y a que peu de place pour les transats autour de la piscine. Il y a un petit roof top avec une quinzaine de transats. Donc si vous choisissez cet hontel pour séjour plage je ne le conseille pas...très bel hôtel

The staff were wonderful resulting in great service in every aspect. The beach was pretty much non existent at high tide which obviously the hotel has not control over. The bathrooms were a little tired and the pool was not as large as the pictures suggested. With that said we enjoyed our stay very much.

First things first: All the staff at this property have been super-friendly and responsive. I saw other reviews that complained about the staff. Not sure why. Maybe older. Why am I giving this a 1-Star review? Because the hotel simply isn't what's advertised. This is by no means a "4-Star Resort". It's maybe a 3-star hotel, and an old one at that. If you are a backpack tourist, and you get this for $40: OK! But I paid more than I paid for 5-star resorts in places like Phuket or Bangkok. The beach is horrible. You are not at the open sea, but in a shallow lagoon. You could wade 200m out, climb over a damn, and get to the sea. Yay! One towel a day max? Not enough beach chairs? That's 4-star? Breakfast is good, but the regular restaurant is bad. Cold and flavorless food is hard to do with Thai food, but they do it. Oh, and it is loud, because you are right next to the airport. Worst part: It is all old and run down. The place needs to be renovated badly. To give you an idea: I slept in my clothes, because the room was so run down. Everything smells bad. No AC in the bath. Internet doesn't work. When I told the staff I was cutting my losses and was moving, they told me I couldn't change the reservation. Look: I am not getting what I paid for, so I am leaving. In the end, Expedia reimbursed me, because it was so horrible. They should delist this place as 4-star. Chaweng is also awful, unless you are into smoking cannabis and getting drunk as cheap as possible. Avoid!

We loved how beautiful this hotel was, full of character whilst also super clean, comfortable bed, brilliant location (right on the beach). The breakfast was great, they put on an amazing spread every day. Super friendly staff. We had a power cut on our last night and they made sure we had a bright lamp in our room until it came back on. Couldn’t recommend more! The hotel was right off the street but the rooms are so quiet. It was perfect.

Staff were very welcoming. Property is in a great place in Chaweng- on beach and close to Main Street. The service was good but hotel is a little dated and could do with newer towels and sun loungers. Shower was a bit old fashioned but ok. Breakfast was ok. The hotel landscaping is really pretty but the best thing about the hotel is the attentiveness of the staff who really want to help

The hotel itself is absolutely fine. The room was clean, the bathroom was large and clean with all the standard amenities. Two complimentary water bottles per day and a mini fridge (with fee for items). The included breakfast buffet is large with good variety. Every staff I encountered was helpful and friendly. Really wonderful people. However, there isn't really a beach there. Technically speaking, it is waterfront, with a small strip of sand when the tide is low. I wouldn't call that a beach, there are actual beaches on the island. Also, the area on the street surrounding the hotel is peak Chewang, loud, noisy, dirty sidewalks and rude shirtless tourists walking around. If you want to be in the middle of bars, restaurants and massage parlors, then this location would be excellent. If you want beach, peace and tranquility, then this place isn't for you.

the hotel was spotlessly clean. the staff were so helpful you only had to ask and they delivered, close to all shops and entertainment and restaurant - perfect location as you were not in the middle of the busy bustling road but towards to the end but still in the mist of everything. so it was nice and quiet to go to sleep. fantastic holiday loved it.

This hotel is on a nice part of the beach and walkable to many restaurants, shopping and nightlife. My only complaint is poor water, pressure in the shower (I have long thick hair), and the water temperature fluctuating from hot to cold. Not sure there’s a whole lot the resort can do about this, we did make a complaint about the water pressure which got slightly better, but no changes in the fluctuating water temperatures from hot to cold. The staff were kind, and attentive. Make sure to get a coconut shake! I think our family had them every day. The other fruit shakes were also delicious, but the coconut one is special served right in the coconut! Dinner on the beach the way they set up. The tables is truly a unique experience. The seafood is excellent, as others have also said. Hotel made it easy to arrange pick up and drop off at the airport.

Yes, almost everything was good. Internet was interrupted ever evening. I have to ask staff to fix it. Also some guests washed their dirty sandy shoes in a swimming pool as well as t shirts. It seems hotel staff doesn't care

Dara Samui is a wonderful small resort with amazing staff. The rooms are super spacious and wonderfully decorated with a thai and modern mix. The downside is that the beach in front of the hotel totally disappears during high water days making it impossible to hang on the beach. This is not the case for the entire beach so you will have to go via the road in front of the hotel to another part of the beach. Honestly nothing negative to say about the hotel itself, but rather about Chaweng being a very busy place with lots of drunk British people..

The room was so big and nicely decorated with your own balcony. Far from the water. The beach area is quite small and not really swimmable as it is very shallow. You can walk down for bigger beach. It was very loud at night until 4 am but not hotels fault it is the area in which it is located. The food was very good for reasonable prices. Make sure to pay as you go as we had some issues with our drink bills. Not very accessible as there are many stairs and ramps to the restaurant and beach. Breakfast buffet was very good.

Det här är ett trevligt trestjärnigt hotell. Vi var trots bristerna ok med vistelsen. Skulle säga att inga rum har utsikt. Svårt med solstolar. ( vi fick paxa 06:45 för att få vettig plats) Stranden försvinner helt mitt på dagen pga tidvatten. Tyvärr skräpig strand. Som vanligt i Thailand trevlig personal som försöker. Men sämsta hotellet jag bott på i Thailand sedan jag började åka hit för 30 år sedan.

We loved this place. Resort is not too big. Great location and on the best part of the beach. Breakfast was great. Would have been nice to be on the upper floor to get at least some view. Deck furniture wasn’t very comfortable, but the entire resort was great.

The staff were wonderful resulting in great service in every aspect. The beach was pretty much non existent at high tide which obviously the hotel has not control over. The bathrooms were a little tired and the pool was not as large as the pictures suggested. With that said we enjoyed our stay very much.

Service
Service is a standout: staff are consistently warm, attentive, and helpful across reception, breakfast, and poolside. A few noted lapses, such as intrusive beach-dinner setup or late housekeeping.

Our stay was excellent! The staff were absolutely amazing, so kind and helpful. The hotel was also perfect, we had welcome drinks on our first night, the dinners on the beach were lovely (slightly expensive, but you expect that), you can borrow things like paddle boards for free from the hotel. Breakfast was also very good with a wide selection of food and an egg bar which made pretty much anything you wanted with eggs. Location was also perfect, at the edge of Chaweng, just a small walk on the beach to all the beach clubs and bars. Would recommend and shall definitely come back.

Great stay with the Dara Samui team. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, poolside and breakfast staff made a point to know us and worked hard to make our stay very memorable. Excellent team. Location is excellent and accessible to any activities that would interest you. Supper on the beach is a very romantic setting as the waves wash up right next to you and food was excellent.

It is not an adults only hotel and that was the first disappointment because we booked it precisely for that reason, they should not offer it like that because I saw children every day of my stay. The hotel is very well maintained and the rooms are large and spacious, very nice and clean, the breakfast is very good, the beach is not the best, the water hits your knees if you are lucky, there are better beaches with paid sun loungers, you should wear earplugs because the noise from the clubs is very loud, I did not like that before 5 pm they start collecting all the sun loungers and if you are in the pool they sweep your face to make you leave and the employees change their attitude so you leave because they should be doing their job of setting tables for dinner making guests who are not having dinner and want to enjoy the sunset on the beach and the pool that closes at 7 pm feel like second-class guests. It should be somewhat equitable, half the tables are for dinner and the other half are for those who have just arrived and beach lovers.

Beachfront on Chaweng with easy walking access to shops, bars, and restaurants; convenient for nightlife and activities. Several guests reported significant late-night noise from nearby clubs and occasional aircraft, and the immediate street area feels busy to some.

The room was so big and nicely decorated with your own balcony. Far from the water. The beach area is quite small and not really swimmable as it is very shallow. You can walk down for bigger beach. It was very loud at night until 4 am but not hotels fault it is the area in which it is located. The food was very good for reasonable prices. Make sure to pay as you go as we had some issues with our drink bills. Not very accessible as there are many stairs and ramps to the restaurant and beach. Breakfast buffet was very good.

The hotel itself is absolutely fine. The room was clean, the bathroom was large and clean with all the standard amenities. Two complimentary water bottles per day and a mini fridge (with fee for items). The included breakfast buffet is large with good variety. Every staff I encountered was helpful and friendly. Really wonderful people. However, there isn't really a beach there. Technically speaking, it is waterfront, with a small strip of sand when the tide is low. I wouldn't call that a beach, there are actual beaches on the island. Also, the area on the street surrounding the hotel is peak Chewang, loud, noisy, dirty sidewalks and rude shirtless tourists walking around. If you want to be in the middle of bars, restaurants and massage parlors, then this location would be excellent. If you want beach, peace and tranquility, then this place isn't for you.

Great hotel, centrally located, well maintained, excellent breakfast. Abagail and the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Only thing preventing me from a full 5 stars is the beach was not as nice as Chaweng beach further south. The water was too shallow, as well as rock and weedy in some places. But if you don’t care too much about swimming in the ocean this hotel is awesome.

Dining
Breakfast earns strong praise for variety and quality, with made-to-order eggs. Beach dinners are memorable though sometimes pricey, while food quality outside breakfast is mixed, ranging from great poolside meals to a few bland or disappointing dishes.

First things first: All the staff at this property have been super-friendly and responsive. I saw other reviews that complained about the staff. Not sure why. Maybe older. Why am I giving this a 1-Star review? Because the hotel simply isn't what's advertised. This is by no means a "4-Star Resort". It's maybe a 3-star hotel, and an old one at that. If you are a backpack tourist, and you get this for $40: OK! But I paid more than I paid for 5-star resorts in places like Phuket or Bangkok. The beach is horrible. You are not at the open sea, but in a shallow lagoon. You could wade 200m out, climb over a damn, and get to the sea. Yay! One towel a day max? Not enough beach chairs? That's 4-star? Breakfast is good, but the regular restaurant is bad. Cold and flavorless food is hard to do with Thai food, but they do it. Oh, and it is loud, because you are right next to the airport. Worst part: It is all old and run down. The place needs to be renovated badly. To give you an idea: I slept in my clothes, because the room was so run down. Everything smells bad. No AC in the bath. Internet doesn't work. When I told the staff I was cutting my losses and was moving, they told me I couldn't change the reservation. Look: I am not getting what I paid for, so I am leaving. In the end, Expedia reimbursed me, because it was so horrible. They should delist this place as 4-star. Chaweng is also awful, unless you are into smoking cannabis and getting drunk as cheap as possible. Avoid!

Stay here!!! This is an amazing property. My husband and I did not want to leave! The villa is worth the extra cost! Fantastic dining options- don’t forget to book at Dara Serene beach dinner. The staff is amazing! Mook and Rit were amazing poolside and dining servers and were so friendly. Zay assisted with a seemless check in experience. We were treated like we were the only guests on property. Great breakfast buffet with a made to order section. They have a great beach area that has a break so it is calmer than the rough waves further down the beach. Walking distance from beach clubs and water activities but this resort offers so much you really do not have to leave. If we go back to Koh Samui, we will not consider staying anywhere else.

Beautiful traditionally designed Thai resort. Our room was clean and spacious and the bathroom even included a bath. We were on level 2 and didn't hear any night noise, however my sister was one floor above and said they could hear music most of the night so I recommend requesting a lower level room. The staff here go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need and more. Massive shout out to Jackson, Jeep and Kevin who worked so hard to make sure we were well looked after and enjoying our stay. Reception staff would benefit from some training in what to recommend when a guest asks what places and things are good to do on the island. We had dinner on the beach here on our last day and the food was great and it was a lovely set up where we could put our feed in the sand. The beach out front of the resort wasn't the best for swimming while we were there but that could have been the time of year? It's a nice safe lagoon and if it was a little deeper it would have been perfect. The resort pool is perfect though and they even let you drink and eat from the pool. Breakfast had all the options you could want, from fruit, to Thai food to an egg station. Highly recommend staying here, we had a great, comfortable and fun stay!
