We met here. Exactly on this beach, both staying separately at this resort so it was a very meaningful, romantic and surreal return to New Star Beach, Koh Samui. Fortunately the upgrades from the early 90's have been tremendous and the resort is more gorgeous than our sacred special memories of the place. The beach could never be improved :... more

After looking at locations and resorts all of over the world for our wedding, we chose the New Star resort. There were many reasons for our choice. The first and foremost was the attentiveness, patience, promptness and warmth in which Mike, the General Manager helped with our enquiries and made all our wedding decisions stress free and simple. Other reasons... more

We stayed here for a week and honestly we didn't want to leave!! New Star is an excellent place to relax and discover the beauty of Koh Samui. The resort is simply wonderful ( spacious rooms, beautiful beach and swimming pool, excellent spa ) but what we'll never forget is the kindness of the "always smiling" staff, everybody was so... more

We really enjoyed this hotel. Our room (Palm Room) was comfortable with a bright, airy contemporary feel. As mentioned, the private but "outdoor" showers are really nice. Staff was helpful and accomodating, and assisted us in renting a car for a day. We only had breakfast at the hotel, which was great with lots of variety. Apparently this hotel has... more

Room was new and... more

We stayed one week end of sept. -08 in this hotel with my husband. We enjoyed this week as much as possible, and we thought that this hotel was as close haven as possible. We hardly noticed any contstracions. The beach was beautiful, and empty and pool was perfect. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My husband had 50`birthday there,... more

Based on the positive reviews and their brilliant website, we decided to stay at the New Star. However, the stay was a huge disappointment: 1. There is a massive construction site going on next door. Noise during all times. Be aware: this is not a short-term thing, the construction is supposed to continue until 2010! 2. Despite the noise problem,... more

Stayed in room 101 beachfront villa with our teenage daughter. What luxury! Entrance through a private garden coutyard with water feature. Room gorgeous, everything we had expected and more. Had a four poster bed, massive bathroom with a shower inside and out, plus comfortable lounge area. The villa is literally on the beach with fantastic views of the beach and... more

We stayed here twice in July 2008. First time we had booked the sea view cottage, but got upgraded to a beach front villa. It was perfect; the interior is modern, clean and overall impressive. Unfortunately the bed was not comfy at all, it was way too hard and this is the reason the hotel is not given a 5... more
