Fellow travelers, this is an update to my earlier post of Dec. 15, 2008, with a happy outcome. Last year when I visited this hotel with my family, someone entered our room while we were enjoying the snorkeling and stole our cash and other valuables (see my earlier post). We contacted hotel security, police, hotel management, etc, and at the... more

My friend spent a few days at "Le Vimarn" Hotel in Samet. Since the hotel was full, I had to stay in the sister hotel "Sai Kaew Beach Resort". We spent however most of the time with our friend at Le Vimarn. I was impressed of the cleanliness of the hotel facilities, from the beach via the toilets to the... more

We had a great stay here. It was very quiet and relaxing. Was a little skeptical with the stories of things getting stolen, but took my chances, was VERY cautious, and things were ok. Le Vimarn's beach is the nicest out of the resorts on the west side. The pool is on the smaller side, however, way bigger that ao... more

We stayed for almost a week in Le Vimarn. We have fled awat from the neighboring hotel (Ao Prao Resort) which we found horrible. The upmarket 'Le Virmarn' is spottlessly clean, well kept, with beautiful bungalows with a great view. Breakfast is good and fresh, nice pool, nice restaurant, very helpful personel, good spa. The only downside of Koh Samet... more

I have stayed on Koh Samet more times that is sensible and I’ve stayed at all different levels of accommodation. The biggest difference between Le Vimarn and all the others is that this place is a real resort. Most of the little bungalows are just that! A bungalow and a small restaurant. Le Vimarn has it all – a spectacular... more

Stayed at Le Vimarn for 4 days 3 nights, my first impression was that the resort not as attractive as in the hotel website. And is overpriced, we get a better room at koh chang for almost half the price, nothing special about the cottages we stayed in (without view), the breakfast is ok but other services is all talking... more

Le vimarn located on ao prao beach, it's quiet, nice beach and not far to go to other beach such as sai kaew beach. We stay at le vimarn 2 nights in Deluxe cottage and my room sea view and not far from beach. Just 20 minute from mainland to resort by hotel speed boat...thier staffs are very helpful. They... more

We were visiting one friend of us who lives and works in Bangkok and decided to go for 3 days in a nice place where we could escape from the Bangkok hurry, but it had to be close to BKK. So came we to The Vimarn Cottages and spa. The location is great with a white sand beach and transparent... more

Le Vimarn is located on Ao Prao beach on the island of Ko Samet (or Samed), is an excellent choice for a few days. When you arrive at their offices at Ban Phe, luggage is tagged and whisked off, then you board the speedboat to whisk you over (approx 20 mins). After a welcome drink we were shown to our... more
