We were staying in Crystal Bay for our vacation on Koh Samui. We were more than disappointed with the hotel! First of all is that we had a big sum of money stolen from the safe (!). The money was stolen during our last evening and we needed to leave the next morning. We have asked the reception to call... More

A group of us had the good fortune of staying here recently whilst on another tour of Thailand. The absolute perfect location right on a fantastic beach. My wife and I chose a Superior beachfront room which was wonderful, sliding doors opened to a small balcony which inturn led you onto a grassed area which led down to the beach.... More

I have been to Koh Samui on a few occasions in the past few years & stayed at various beach resorts, I have to say, for the price, crystal bay is hands down the best I have stayed at. The beach is the wow factor with this hotel- it has to be one of the best beaches on the island.... More

Got to say this place was great! Far from the madding crowd, but close enough to Lamei if you are looking for a bit of glitter. Stunning beach, really good for kids as it stays shallow. Try and book room G1 - it has a balcony that ends in a 20 ft drop to the ocean below with flood light... More

First off if I could give this hotel/resort a 3.5 out of 5 I would. Having stayed elsewhere on the island we booked this last minute and opted to stay a week. Check in was good, we arrived early and were told our room would not be ready until 2 which was fine, and we left our luggage with reception... More

Thanks for your extremely useful and detailed review. We are upgrading the pool area to greatly increase the amount of space with a very large wooden deck. This will give much more room for sitting, eating and sunbathing around our pool. Thanks for the comments both good and not so good. We really appreciate this so we can fine tune... More

If you go to Crystal Bay, it's because of the beach and romantic atmosphere. You can find better hotels in Samui for the same price, but it's worth staying here for the location. We had a Seaview deleuxe room. The rooms are not very big, the beds are a bit hard and there is noise from the streets. Also there... More

I had been to Crystal Bay before but not stayed here and that was my reason for choosing the hotel. The beach is lovely and I remembered having good food too. Pick up from the airport was fine and on time. Check in was ok, albeit having to avoid a cat stretched out on the counter. The room was ok... More
