Cinnamon Beach Villas

“Mee” and her staff were amazing! Beautiful views from the property and were so helpful with organizing day trips, ferry rides, and scooters to rent delivered to the hotel. Completely hassle free and ensured a pleasant stay and experience. Highly recommend renting a scooter as it is a little off the beaten path and requires walking a few hundred metres to the nearest main road. Thank you Mee for an amazing stay!

It's been nice

Super

Friendly staff, very clean pool, very quiet and great air conditioning! A great place to stay if you want a quiet vacation

Service excellent, friendly staff

This is a beautiful hotel to visit. The rooms are big, there is sofa, minibar and a balcony with stunning wiew over Lamai beach and beautiful sunsets. It is a wonderful quiet area, no boats because of the shallow waters, no disco, no heavy music. Really nice. It is quite far from bars and restaurants so you should have a car or motorbike. We did not have it, but we also used Boltapp which works really nice. The swimmingpool is nice, with beautiful scenery. On arrival they give you a really sweet cinnemon welcomedrink which is delicious in the heat. It is a bit dark to walk on the road in the evening. The beach is really nice to walk, but you can only go a bit of the beach because of big rocks. The staff is really kind and helpful. We felt very welcome and had a great stay.

Being right on the beach without many people around was great and the restaurant food was amazing. Staff was very good and very polite

Overall much better than expected. The dtaff really went out if their way to jake my stay as comfortable as possible. After some initial technical difficulties everything went smooth. I had a great stay - Thanks Tangmo

Warning, warning, warning... This hotel is not good, actually very bad, and very dangerous to stay. Specially if you are a little picky, old, or even worse, if you have a family with younger children. Please reed my whole serious and honest experience from last week, mid June 2024, before booking. The Hotel look actually quite nice and charming in it´s special way, located on steep ground, with a good sea-view from many rooms. The hotel is old but in public areas well kept and it still looks little neat. But now beware, read carefully: The hotel is overall in chineese style, not Thai. If you stay in room with good seaveiw, high up, you will experience a high elevation from pool and dining area to your room. Its a steep walk to reception, and only way up is an inregular home made concrete stairsway whitout any protective handrail. And observe: There is no elevator at all. The beach is very shallow, it´s a long walk to swemming depths and the low tide stay all day. The exposed sandy/muddy beach surface is full of sharp rocks. In late evening the high tide come, but give too little deapth to swim. But the single small swiming pool is clean, deep, and good for adults, but lack safe areas for children. Now to the real bad info: The hotel owner and it´s management totaly lack respect for the security of theres guests. There is no fire alarm in room, not even local smoke detectors. And the escape ways and locks to hotel rooms is withut dubt the worst hotel safety standard I ever experienced from thousends of hotels I stayed all arond the globe. We got "upgraded" to best corner room, penthouse. But in this room we get trapped, locked in, withouy any escape. In the door the lock get stucked. The lock goes into reverse lock and stuck rock hard. Door is quite solid and not easy to force open. Jumping from balcony was no alternative, only a cearten death. We try to call reception on intercom telephone, but the switchoard was kaput, broken, we dont get trough. Thank good our cellphone was charged and we could call external number for help. But when help arrives and also management, many people, i try to tell about my experience from hotel safety, but there was no respect, no respecte at all. The manager only grinned evilly and deforce. The only response we got was an offer to change to another room. We accepted and checked out next morning. Other experiencis from Koh Samui: We se most young people arriving the island. I also se from internet this island is a party-party island with a huge alkohol and drug consumption. Price level is high, very, very high, 2-3 times higher than common mainland and cities. Some ceartin areas of turist bussiness in the island is even more expensive, monopolised. We tried to find an 7/11 shop, because hotel charge for small eating was very high. I tried to get an Bolt- or Grab ride, but no response. They are not present in the island, I learnd. Hotel reception tell, only 10 minute walking to closest 7/11. We walked 15 minutes to find an small 7/11 vending mashine. We walked back in 38 degree celsius shadow heat, but in the sun >50… we almost fainted. Back in the hotel we asked reception for a taxi. The hotel receptionist girl tell us, no taxi, only hotel private car is avilable to 7/11. We had to pay for a 2x5 minute ride, 400 THB + tip. Same for a port- or airport transfer, only private hotel car avilable and it was crazy expensive compared to Bangkok or other cities. Summing up: The island of Koh Samui is overall nice and most locals of Samui are very helpful and friendly. But this hotel; Cinnamon Beach Villas, standards and price levels, makes it a no-no to recommend to families with children or mid age or elderly people.

This was our fourth stay at CBV, we come back because we love it so much. The staff are so friendly and kind, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spotless, and the gardens and surroundings beautifully kept. The hotel restaurant catered to my food allergies and dietary requirements perfectly, the motorcycle we hired was in great condition, and we were very well looked after for our two week stay. Can’t wait to go back 🇹🇭
