Perfect resort on beautiful beach.”
The resort is absolutely perfect maintained with great staff. Beach is small but great. It's by far the most beautiful place on Koh Samet. You need a scooter to go to other places, allthough a good restaurant is just next to the resort. They have good service to bring you back to the mainland by speedboat, but no pick-up when you arrive. The restaurant is really (too) expensive according to what you get for it: that's the only thing they have to change. But on Koh Samet you should choose Ao Prao Resort as your place to stay.

Rare Sunset beach: Best snorkeling/ beach”
If Ao Prao isn’t sold out, it’s the best place on Koh Samet BY FAR; other beaches aren’t even close. Why? This beach is the only west facing, sunset facing beach on Samet - worth its weight in gold. Not only that, but this beach also has the best, easiest snorkeling and stand up paddling conditions on the island. This bay is protected from the weather which hits mostly the east shore. So it’s calm here when other east facing beaches have more waves and wind. The whole island is nice, but if you want to impress your date with ideal setting, prettiest photos, nice sunsets and safest easiest and prettiest snorkeling and water sports; this is your beach. On a negative note, the food isn’t as delicious and it’s also more expensive. Those on a strict budget won’t appreciate the high menu prices. But the biggest problem is finding a room. There are only 3 resorts on this beach, 2 owned by the same owner, so you’ll often see “sold out” when booking. This is THE place to stay on Koh Samet if you book early enough to get the rooms around 2500 baht per night. Wait too late like we did, and not only will you have to pay 3500 for the same room, but MAYBE, the Saturday of your 3 night stay will be sold out! Note: you might pay 300 baht, or 650 baht for a one hour stand up paddle board!! 650 is a rip off, so be careful. An extraordinary, important change has happened. For the first time in years, you can rent motorbikes from this beach!!!! Also very important: Ao Prao resorts have their own large comfortable speed boats to the island, to and from Ban Phe. Included for free for guests. It’s soooo nice to feel checked in from the private pier. They handle your bags and transfer them to and from the boat to the hotel truck transport to the hotel. This is truly more value than you can imagine... In summary, this is the best beach on Samet. Nothing else comes close. The only sunset beach. And most snorkeling is only on this beach. Easy stand up paddling only t

Best service on Samed! ”
Our experience with Ao Prao Resort is utterly amazing from the moment we arrived at the parking area at the pier. This resort has superb management making our journey to the resort seamless. All staff have the service mind of the real 5-star hotel. We love everything from the in-land reception, super clean and comfortable speedboat, attentiveness of the welcoming staff, the location on Ao Prao which is very peaceful yet accessible enough to anywhere. Our deluxe hill view room is decorated in an old fashioned style but it’s clean and cosy and has everything we need. The view from the hill is worth climbing the stairs for. Breakfast buffet offers extensive list of foods, dinner is tasty (Thai dishes), amazing singers during dinner. Love everything here.

Amazing Experience”
The journey from the Pier to the hotel was exceptional with very efficient and pleasant service of speed boat to the Samet pier and then to the hotel Service throughout our stay was top notch and the hotel was very helpful and understanding when we needed to cancel 1 room for our group Resort was clean and tried to be an eco friendly as much as they could. The beach was exceptional with breathtaking view of the sunset and the hills in this beautiful part of the island

Most favorite resort”
We keep going back. Discovering this resort has made travelling to phuket or Krabi quite pointless. Wonderful staff, quiet beach and beautiful corner location. Transfer and car park is also arranged by the hotel and so this place simply cannot be beat in terms of convenience

Best Samet Beach”
This place is great for couples and families alike. The Ao Prao beach is the best one on Samet and this place may be the nicest resort option. As the don't allow motorbikes down to the area - it remains wonderful. A super option for anyone looking for an awesome beach close to Bangkok.

Holiday with grandchildren”
We have been here many times and it is the only beach and Hotel we like at Ko Samed, peaceful and safe for family with children. The staff make you feel welcome and some of them even remember us. The rooms are clean and nice. The restaurang at Le Vimarn with the Manager Khun Payab make you feel special, the food is well done with love and allways delicious. Mr and Mrs H. Kolmodin Thailand

Good place ”
Good place. The transfer from main island to the ko samet was 600 baht per person which is more expensive so we took local ferry. Shouls reduce that rate. Place is good

Feel at home with a fantastic team and enjoy a Happy Birthday”
Being already a regular visitor I have nothing to add to describe this resort which indulges you in "luxe, calme et volupté". But again and again I will repeat that the quality and friendliness of the team looking after this resort is the keystone of this resort. Thank you again for singing so hearfully Happy Birthday and hope to see all of you once again very soon.

One of my favorite resorts”
Super convenient for people looking to drive somewhere for the weekend from Bangkok. The resort offers its own parking space and private boat transfer. Nice place for kayaking and also the resort being at the corner of the beach offers a bit more secluded setting for those looking to just sit out in the sun and enjoy a drink
