Bandara Resort & Spa - Bophut

Bohput beach was the pick of locations in Koh Samui.

The rooms did not face the beach. The wings of the hotel either faced East ( glaring morning sun) or West ( glaring afternoon sun). The curtains were orange and did not block out the sun so if you like an orange room then it is OK. The resort is set back from the beach. The villas were more like little self contained bedrooms. We changed to a villa because of the early morning glare and loud loud music from our young neighbours.They were very private but so self enclosed you could forget you were at a beach resort. Overall this resort was more suitable for a family than a couple. It was hard to find a beach lounge or pool lounge with shade. Better hotels in the same strip

Comfortable large room, deluxe type. Very comfortable bed. Lovely pool area . Plenty of snack and drink areas around the beach and pool. Beds on the beach comfortable too. Breakfast in the beach restaurant much more pleasant than in the main breakfast area as much quieter there although all the same food wherever you eat. Good beach towels in room every day. Great fruit smoothies from pool bars.Good hairdryers in the bathroom in front of a mirror. Very rare to find this anywhere in the world i have found. Either hydryers are as good as useless or you have to use a socket for your own which is nowhere near a mirror.Beautiful gardens.Staff mostly very pleasant everywhere. Overall very relaxing place.

Some staff had little English,( although they try hard,) so could be hard to be understood at times. WIFI although free to access was very temperamental and often not available. Fresh towels often not delivered to rooms till evening. Had to call reception to ask for towels three times one day and each time was told they would be sent immediately but never arrived. Rooms not available when we arrived until 3pm. Supposed to be ready at 2pm. Had to hang around reception for several hours waiting amidst a horrible smell of sewers. Not a great start to our holiday.Fortunately the smell was not always as bad as the day we arrived.Sand very grainly on the beach and difficult to walk on as your feet sink right into it unlike at Chaweng where the sand is very fine. However Bohput much quiet than Chaweng.Fishermans village easy to walk to with a variety of good eating places. Also closed to traffic on Friday evenings which makes it a delight to wander around.

the service at our stay from welcome to leaving was second to none.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location was perfect being literally on the beach & only a 5 minute walk to the fantastic "Fishermans Village". Felt very comfortable at the hotel & was great for my 18 month old baby. The only negative was the restaurants in the hotel were a little pricey but then there was no reason to eat there as so many other choices nearby.

the staff were brilliant particulary the customer relations manager. It was and ideal location and was very easy to get to the main town of Chaweng. The buffet style breakfast was excellent and the waiting staff were always very helpful. The happy hour coctails was also very good and the bar food at the beach or poolside was very nice.

The room was a littel small for the three sharing and we were on a budget so two had to share a double bed. We would have preferred single beds. The rooms definately need updating and the tiles in the bathroom and shower were very stained and worn. I would say that the room for three sharing was quite expensive.

Smart hotel, which is much closer to 5 stars than 4, but without these useless facilities like golf or tennis fields. Very beautiful garden, swimming pools and clean big rooms. Very tasty breakfast with fresh fruits, friendly staff (great thanks for guest relation manager - Kristy!=))), cheap coctails, free sunbeds. Tasty and cheap dinners in the hotel, pharmacy and supermarket (24h) just outside. Fine place for honeymoon and quiet rest.

the staff english language is a problem, other than that they were very friendly and very nice

Nice hotel, nice breakfast. 3 pools + private beach. Fisherman village is 5 minutes away with many restaurants.

In our room there was a bad smell from the bath. We asked to change a room and get transferred to a different one without the smell.

Lovely setting in Bo Phut, 5 minute walk down the sea shore to the fishing village in Bo Phut where all the bars and numerous restaurants are to be chosen.

The resort is extremely quiet and private. Surrounded by lovely beaches. Excellent location, close to Fishermans wharf and markets, short cab ride to Big C and Chewang Beach area.

Our family enjoyed our stay with you, unfortunately it was only for a few days as we were attending our nieces wedding. Congratulations on a great day and evening which was celebrated by all.

Though the Villa was lovely it does need a little maintenance outside - but nothing too serious.

The food was ok. Also the restaurant at the beach was very ok, also in the restaurant in the morning and at the beach were good.

The staff at ther receptie was no very spontanious. The cleaning of the room was not good, even after complaining. Also the balcony was not clean. (everywhere birdshit). The Spa was too commercially trained.

We booked the pool villa and it was amazing! Everything was provided from beach towels, beach bag to all in room requirements! It was amazing and we didnt want to leave!

The hotel is a 4 star resort and all expectations were fulfilled in a positive way. We wanted a 4 star hotel, beachlocation with a nice beach, good location and close to all restaurants but not in the middle of all hustle and bustle, pool, cleanliness, great international breakfast, well working AC, friendly atmosphere, not to many kids around (sorry, kids are nice but sometimes....) and we got it all! We had actually planned to leave the hotel after one week but it was so good that we changed our mind and stayed there for another week. Would strongly recommend this hotel to couples who would like to have a very relaxing comfortable vacarion! Thanks!

Thee main road is just outside the hotel entre. Quite heavy traffic and not easy to pass. I would recoomend a room not in the mainbuilding but in one of the other buildings

The hotel spa provides quality services. The hotel has a dive and snorkeling center. They have windsurf, Booked.net and a small catamaran for the guests. We stayed in a pool villa and enjoyed the extra space. You can walk to the restaurant area via the beach.

The breakfast area was very crowded in the morning (but I guess this had to do also with the fact that we were there during the high season).
