Water and wi fi had gone out for a day. Bacteria in pool which caused closure. Service awful and not consistent with ritz Carlton. No proper amenities and property outdated

Overall my stay was pleasant. The villa was beautiful. The food at the buffet was good. Staff was generally nice and pleasant.
The cons: they need to update the rooms. What I mean is that they need to upgrade the to Smart TV, maybe add USB plugs in the room.
The staff seems stressed. They need to smile more when engaging with the guest. the customer service needs some work. At once instant, I called to get a beach towel 3x, on the 4th attempt I ended up going to the lobby and explained what I needed. I had to wait over 20-30 minutes to get a beach towel.
the lady who manages luggage and traffic at the entrance seemed a bit frazzled and didn't have a good grip on the situation and was not very efficient with managing the cars and people. It was confusing.
I forgot my USB plug at home and needed to charge my AirPods. I asked if I could borrow a USB plug. Their response was we do not have any. For a 5 star hotel, you would expect that they will carry one.
I have stayed at other luxury hotels where they are able to anticipate the needs of the guest. I hoped they would have anticipated the needs of guest and be more organized in their response.
That being said, the facility is pretty. I loved the villa and the stay was generally pleasant. I probably would not stay at this facility again.

My room was beautiful but the grounds of the hotel was little run down for the ritzs and the main pool was drained empty for repairs and only had a little pool to use .
2.5 / 5.0
It was a very memorable trip with a surprise anniversary celebration for us. The kids club was also well-equipped, so the whole family was able to enjoy their stay at the hotel. What I would like to see improved is that the transportation within the hotel is limited to buggies, and we waited nearly 30 minutes for the buggy to come when we returned to our room from the pool. It may be unavoidable since it's the off-season. However, there is no doubt that the sea is beautiful and it is a wonderful hotel.

We have to use a cart for going anywhere and it was inconvenient for us all the time

Overall, we like the hotel. Is a big hotel where the rooms are distributed across few buildings or blocks and it is not noisy. However, we were allocated to a ground floor unit with no view which is not to my liking. The landscape of the property can be improved. I was shocked to see a snake and a frog outside of my unit. I didn't highlight to the staff as my unit is close to the nature and on the ground floor. So, for people whom are not nature lover, you might not like the ground unit. Lastly, for stayers whom has tour plans, maybe this hotel might not be a suitable ones as it takes a bit of time and the inconvenience of getting out of the hotel. They will get a buggy to pick you up from the room to the reception, then you can order a hotel transport or taxi to get out of the hotel. This is my first time to Koh Samui, i didn't know the taxi fare is not by metered. Grab is limited, and they have a lot of restricted pick up area which is quite annoying too. Other than the inconveniences, the overall stay in Ritz was still pleasant.

Everything here is wonderful. The breakfast buffet is lovely, service exceptional and the beach and pool area never felt crowded.
The beach is a bit rocky, so if you have small children you’ll prefer the pool.
5.0 / 5.0
Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at! So beautiful and clean. Rooms are immaculate, food was amazing, pool was terrific. Truly don’t have a bad thing to say about this resort. I also really appreciate their allergy postings at the buffet—helped me to avoid nuts during my stay. All the staff was so friendly and helpful. I’d definitely stay here again.

4.0 / 5.0
This is a beautiful resort very spread out and very isolated. In the very north of the island. I'm handicapped with difficulty walking. to get anywhere You have to call and get a buggy ride. This was quite annoying as every time we wanted to go anywhere we had to wait in the hot sun usually with other people Vying for the first buggy that would show up. We did find it isolated, but perfect for the vacation that my family needed to reconnect. It was also very inconvenient to get to town and other parts of the island where there was more action, and we always found the shuttles to be full, which created anxiety never knowing if we'd have to book a private ride to go anywhere. The staff were quite good. Karl is the general manager who did a great job taking care of us personally, I was disappointed with the condition of the pool and especially the lounge chairs in the cushions , the beach area was not maintained at all and sorry to report that the condition of the cushions and the lounge chairs were disgustingly dirty. I know the warning the beaches made out of seashells and very difficult almost impossibly painful to walk without shoes. There is no place to swim in the ocean at this resort for anyone wanting to have more excitement variety entertainment I would find a place closer to town.
0.5 / 5.0
The property is great however the service is poor and way way below Ritz Carlton standards
Buggies took 30 mins for pick up every time we called for it.
Pasta had carrots.
The beach is a pebble beach whereas if you go to areas like ark bar, the beach is a perfect sand beach.
We requested buggy driver to stop at one of our rooms to check if we had left our one of our child's stuff, he didn't budge and told us ' when in Thailand you only follow'.
Overall I would not go back to this property again.

Upon arrival, the bedding configuration that was booked was not available. Also on check in, we were informed that all restaurants had to be booked in advance. Once we had arrived at the room, we weren't able to reach reception with our in-room phone because the line was engaged and this was with multiple attempts. Thankfully the reception staff also gave us a WhatsApp number. However, they informed us that there was no availability for a restaurant that evening and only room-service was an option. We were quite disappointed with this level of service - if this was the case, why weren't we informed before arrival? I also shared my issues on my check-in feedback request and no action was taken to rectify it during our stay. Overall, not the service level I would expect from a Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
4.0 / 5.0
The property is very nice but requires staff to move you around in cart due to size and hills. They have a shuttle to shopping several times a day but is generally very secluded. All the staff are fantastic and food good.
Our room was getting a little dated and needs some upgrading but nice a spacious with outdoor patio and plunge pool.

The hotel is overall excellent. My only disappointment is related to the beach. The access to the sea is very uncomfortable due to the presence of many rocks and there is a big risk to hurt yourself. All the rest is amazing including the beautiful pool villa. Overall I recommend Ritz Carlton

My family of 3 stayed 6 nights over Easter 2023 at a terrace suite. Our suite, the grounds, spa village, facilities and pool were beautiful and well-maintained with friendly service.
We ate every meal and every snack at the Ritz and got food poisoning on two occasions.
On night 5, our 10yr old got food poisoning after eating a burger from the kids menu room service. She threw up for over an hour.
On night 6, I got food poisoning after eating fried rice and noodles from Luk Yu. I barely slept having had to go to the bathroom all night.
At any establishment at any price, we need to be able to trust the food quality, especially from the kids menu. At the Ritz, we certainly expect better. Messages to the hotel and Marriot guest services have gone unanswered.
Beautiful hotel if you want to have a look. But hard to stay if even the cooked food cannot be trusted.
