Long review following. On March 30th 2019, I reached out to Conrad to discuss hosting our destination wedding initially scheduled for March 15h 2020. On May 3rd 2019, I paid the initial deposit and secured the venue. On March 17th 2024, we finally had our wedding, after dealing with Covid, plus many other personal challenges and hurdles. It finally happened after almost 5 years of waiting. Here are my thoughts on the property and their team: Location / Hardware: Conrad is located roughly an hour's drive away from Samui airport, at the southern tip of the island. The property's situated on the hilltop, therefore not so much a beach resort. Shortly after you see the hotel logo and as the car turns into their arrival pavilion, you see a fountain in the middle with a backdrop of the infinity view of the ocean, as well as five islands. Their hardware is absolutely gorgeous, very well maintained for a 13-year-old property. Incredible main infinity pool with comfortable loungers dipped in water, which is my favorite set up. My second favorite offering they have is the sunset lounge, another perfect spot to enjoy the sunset straight on, with music and decent drinks. The only thing I would point out is the lower beach, which felt to me was either a bit underdeveloped or somewhat left behind. It would be worthwhile to further develop it into a much nicer beach if possible to go along with otherwise a pretty perfect hotel. Room: My husband and I've had the privilege of being arranged to stay at the one and only Conrad Royal Suite, needless to say, the room blew our minds, and we've stayed at multiple suites in other properties around the world. We also visited the standard one-bedroom where our families and friends were staying and it was nothing short of amazing, both indoor, outdoor and the pool was beautiful, everything was of high quality, and the best thing was the yolk was right in front of their villas, every evening they were blessed with a beautiful sunset. Back to our suite, we were first shocked by how big it was, it was two stories, and the first door led us to a patio with actual greens and a panoramic sea view. The second door downstairs led us to our actual suite, most areas were covered in marble, and each section of the suite was equipped with a glass sliding door that allowed you to go straight out to the patio, you could even go straight into the incredibly humungous pool from the doors located in the bedroom and bathroom. Bath amenities were all from Byredo, which I appreciated, and the suite also came with a kitchen, a full-size dining table, and a built-in seating area inside the pool. The only downside about the suite is due to it being situated at the lowest level and to the far end corner, we weren't able to enjoy the beautiful sunset directly from our room the same way as the other standard villas. Restaurants / Food: If there's one element that this hotel is slightly lacking, it would be the variety of restaurants on site. This hotel has a Thai restaurant doubling as breakfast, a poolside restaurant, and a fine-dining steakhouse. For most, this would be a contributing factor to them limiting the number of nights spent in this hotel. The only reason it doesn't bother me as much is because, for a hotel that has villas of this calibre, I simply order room service and enjoy my villa, I don't feel the need to always go dine out every night. Food, in general, is good, nothing to write home about, they do have complimentary fresh coconut every morning at breakfast which was nice, and a complimentary mimosa station, which was also appreciated. I find their breakfast caters a little more to Asian taste, with quite a bit of selection of Asian favorites such as noodles and soup, which I liked but it would be even better if they could even it out, offer more variety of fruits, and expand their selections a bit more. Spa: The check-in level boasts yet another panoramic ocean view with the golden yolk right in front of you, I don't know which part of this resort does not bless you with perfect sunsets. Even the sauna box downstairs has a floor-to-ceiling window, I was sitting there having my sauna session while enjoying the ocean view, partial property view, and the sunset, it was quite unbelievable, and it definitely was the best sauna facility I've ever been to. Everything else with the spa is up to standards, the only minus was the service. My husband and his brother had a spa the previous day before I went and that's how I found out about the sauna facility downstairs, when we finished our treatment, we were escorted back to the main check-in area but we were not told or offered the gem downstairs. When I asked about it, I was told I needed to make a reservation for that, I then asked whether it was occupied, they replied no but then still wouldn't ask whether we would like to use it. Naturally, I was not the most thrilled to hear about it, in the end, I was allowed to use the facility but I had to ask and push for it, this all happened presumably with them having the prior knowledge about me and my husband having a wedding on site and the spa session was part of our wedding package, it would've been much nicer if they did everything without us asking, as a way to make the wedding couple feel special. Our wedding: I won't get into too much detail but the wedding was essentially a dream come true. A special shout-out to our wedding planner Tinnakon, who really took care of me in his best capacity, especially for some odd reason the entire month of March, there were only 2 weddings and both happened over the same weekend, so naturally Tinna was swamped and overwhelmed. Thank you also to the F&B director, Pia, for helping out and being around on the day of to make sure everything was fine. Our guests were all very pleased with the service they received during our wedding, and the attentiveness the team offered. Our entire day was also captured by the amazing Nok and Toa team, we would not have all these beautiful photos to treasure for a lifetime without them. Overall, a stunning property, expensive of course. I do think it's worth a splurge and staying a few nights here. I highly recommend this hotel and I look forward to revisiting in the not-so-distant future.

It’s our third time staying in Conrad Koh Samui and all of us still want to come back again in the near future. We are family of four with 2 young children and all of us enjoyed every moment at the resort. All pool villas in the resort are facing ocean. The 2-bedroom pool villa we stayed is well maintained with some minor renovation when comparing with our last visit (April 2018). All staff are well trained and with passion on their jobs especially for buggy man called Sprits who has worked in Conrad Koh Samui for more than 10 years and he enjoys driving guests around the resort and chatting with guests. Restaurant staff are very attentive to every guest. However, there was quite a lot of Chinese style food for breakfast and it could be improved by putting more western and Thai style food for breakfast. The view from breakfast restaurant is terrific. They have ice cream machine in the restaurant. My children super liked making icecream by their own every morning especially they could try different flavour daily. They have opened a new Irish Farm nearby (just 2 mins drive from lobby) and I highly recommended to visit the farm especially for those who have children. Staff showed and explained to us about their farm and how they grow some fruits and vegetables for the use by their restaurants. They also offered us to collect eggs from the farm and also fed the goats. Great experience! The main pool and beach area are perfect. They provided complimentary kayak, beach shoes from beach counter for guests. Walking along coastal area to the pier was relaxing and comfortable. The sunset is definitely the best in Koh Samui from your own pool in the villa as the resort is located at west side of the island. We enjoyed watching every sunset during our stay before going for dinner. Great resort for families and couples!

Conrad Samui has leave a footprint of what a truly 5 star hotel and what hospitalize is. Apart from the extravaganza view i have had seen, and the cleanliness of the room. All staff from.Check in ( Khun Idd) Check out ( Khun Tangmo), has made me feel.so welcome. Both check in and out was so smooth. The excellent service of the buggy within the hotel was so convenient. Each of the staff driving was so friendly and knowledgable that makes a ride, not a boring one. The weather was so hot and i asked for many bottles of water and never been denied. There is a sustainable farm, which i was shown by F&B staff, (a lady) who is so knowledgable and explain things with fully service minded. A staff at the pool, had served us a glass of ice + drinking water, while i was at tbe pool. This come with no charge and without i am asking for it. Also with mineral spray for facial hydration and glaasses cleaning spray. This stay at Conrad Samui has left me nothing but only a good memory and impression. Truly recommened.
