Ocean-front location is great, and the hotel is in a nice, quiet area, convenient to the ferry but a bit of a trip from the airport and main shopping areas.
Generally a good value for the money, but breakfast was not included with the room rate via Orbitz, which it should be. For what is offered even an extra THB 250 seems a bit much.
Property could use a bit of a refresh, especially the built-ins in the rooms. Clean (and kept clean by the staff) but definitely a bit worn down. That said, my plunge pool was wonderful, and the staff was very responsive and friendly.
I would definitely consider staying here again, especially for the price.

An amazing hotel. Just got back from a 10 day stay at Kanok Buri and i highly reccomend this hotel. The staff are so lovely, funny and helpful. The private beach is so convenient and the pool is gorgeous. Food is lovely too. Its on Lipa Noi, west side of Koh Samui which is quieter than the East but this is what i wanted. Beautiful grounds with exotic trees, koi fish in ponds and its so easy to book a 'grab' taxi to go to places around the island so transport is not an issue, loads of gorgeous of places to eat near the hotel ( we liked trying new places each day) breakfast at the hotel is amazing, pineapple pancakes were my favourite, the fruit is out of this world too. Chef and front of house staff are amazing here, thank you Kanok Buri for an anazing holiday!!! Hope to see you again. Xx

When we arrived at 6pm we were made to wait around for 15 minutes before taken to a room. The room we booked was supposed to be luxury but when we got there it was very dated. It had a private pool that needed cleaning so we didn’t use it! Bedroom and bathroom are clean, if you can get this room discounted sure, it’s ok, but don’t pay full price for this, I’d say it’s worth $50 a night max

We stayed here for 4 nights on Koh Samui, and found the grounds to be amazing and well looked after, the room was great with only one note id say is the AC only works with the key so it had AC off all day and took an hour to cool it back down. Breakfast was good, staff were good and helped us rent a motorbike. Overall a nice experience.

Good place to spend peaceful time but far from the downtown... You must consider to rent scooters or cars if you want to visit other place at your convenience, the taxi is minimum 400 bath per trip to the closest place, and the hotel propose one shuttle per day at 3PM to drop you where you want, but you must come back by your own...The swimming pool of the resort is not so impressive that on the photos. The house with this option included a nice swimming pool, the pool depth is fixed and convenient for children from 4 years old.The spot for the beach is quiet, not crowded, safe

This was a great hotel. I was here for my cousin's wedding. The only thing is, if you want a night life, there is none on this side of the island and it's far. Taxi ride can add up. But to get some r and r and private time- this is the spot to be!I do love the hotel though. The staff were great and always so friendly. We miss it there already!

Staff was friendly. We stayed in the older part of the resort closest to the beach. Our room had the plunge pool. Given our room was older, the bathroom was not that great. Our shower head kept getting loose, but maintenance came right away to fix it. Our room had an ant issue, every night I went on a hunt to kill whatever ants I came across. There would even be in your bed. The breakfast could be better. I wish they would use food covers to protect the food that’s sitting out, every morning, fruit flies would swarm the fruit and whatever food that has been sitting for who knows how long. Best part of the breakfast buffet is the made to order egg station and view of the ocean while you eat. Other than the breakfast buffet, the restaurant at the resort is pretty decent. Location is a bit isolated, but isn’t that the point? There are a handful of small eateries around. But if you want to go shopping, you need to take a taxi and head about 20mins away.

The hotel was very accommodating , the rooms on the pool side of the resort were fine but bathroom facilities dated We moved to the rooms with their own pools on the other side of the road which were very good more expensive but worth it .The hotel was very quiet to start with then got quite full , lacking unfortunately a good resturant , buffet breakfast was OK but had better. Staff lovely and friendly and tried hard to please , A car would be a must to see the island and for eating as there were only a few restaurants to walk to and could get expensive to use taxis to go to other areas.We were a family meeting London and Austrailia so wanted somewhere in between,

Loved this hotel! Wish we stayed another night. When we arrived, they upgraded us to a room closer to the beach. We had great views from our room, and the room itself was beautiful. Loved the 4-poster bed and beautiful bathroom. The staff were also very friendly and helpful during our 1 night stay. Would definitely stay here again!

After a very pleasant and reassuring welcome we experienced a sharp decline in the standard of the hotel comparing to how it was advertised. The room was slightly damp, the air conditioning was very loud and utilities were of a poor standard, even when they were working. For example there was no hot water and the spa was only open upon request and overpriced as were the food and beverages.
Location and hotel were peaceful and isolated which was what we were looking for but having a means of transport is essential if looking to leave the hotel, which you will want to do.
The hotel overall has a lot of potential but 4 stars is extremely generous and we felt that the price did not reflect the quality of the accommodation.
Although offering a beautiful beach area, the atmosphere was somewhat lacking and we found ourselves walking to other resorts in the area.
Overall we were disappointed as it is nowhere near the standard advertised and would certainly not consider it a spa resort. We have never left a negative review before but we really felt that we could have got a nicer resort for half the price on Samui. Other guests clearly felt the same as there was someone complaining every time we walked through reception.

Hotel was located in a quiet resort but with its own beach frontage and within walking distance of a couple of roadside restaurants.
Rooms and the hotel in general were of a good condition but could do with some modernising. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Reasonable price and great if you are looking for a very quiet relaxing hotel.

A Couples Retreat, a perfect hotel on a beautiful island which opportunities to relax. Unfortunately, I was not in a couple, I was travelling with a friend and had booked this hotel because it was close to Nathon Pier, where we were next travelling from. After the antics in Bangkok this place was perfect to just relax on the beach but I very quickly got bored and apart from the use of the gym and the kayaks there wasnt much else on offer and the nearest busy beach with bars and other travelers was on the other side of the island. However, this wasnt the hotels fault at all, who offered free travel to Chaweng (not back, that would have been helpful though) and were always on hand to help with any questions. I wish I had done more research before booking. Nook, one of the women on the reception was particularly helpful, always greeted us with a smile, spoke fantastic English and always tried to help as much as she could to resolve our boredom, one day booking an excursion for us. A great hotel for couples, NOT TRAVELERS, unless you want to get away from loud noises and the hustle of travelling.

My stay was very comfortable at Kanok Buri. It has an amazing beach side view. The breakfast could have been better in terms of taste.

Stayed for seven nights with my three children. Reception and housekeeping staff were extremely helpful. Swimming pool and beach never crowded. The meals in the hotel are overpriced, however there was a small restaurant just outside that served lovely food at a more reasonable price which we used on a number of ocassions. Although there is not a large selection of food for breakfast (compared to most hotels weve stayed in before) it was sufficient as there was a choice of hot and cold options. The atmosphere at breakfast time was also always very calm and never over-crowded.

The hotel was stunning to look at and right on a stunning beach and quite part of the island, however the rooms were dated and not very clean with thick layers of dust in places. The wedding we attended was amazing and very well organised and that was our reason for staying. 4 kids out of the group got very sore rashes from the pool on the first day as the clorine and ph levels were way out which resulted in the doctor being called out, the staff did not take any responsibility and were extremely rude and would not allow anyone to speak with the manager. After this know one from our group entered the pool and some of the group cut their stay short and moved hotels. The bar shut at 10pm and even while open ran out of drinks on many occasions. There was no atmosphere here and we found ourselves eating out most nights.
