we stayed in the dara samui for 4 nights during our honeymoon. the hotel is located right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of chaweng street - where all the night life of this island is happening. if this is what you look for than look no further because this hotel is great. but if you do... more

We have just returned from our wonderful 2 week holiday in Koh Samui! The Dara Samui Beach Resort Hotel was fantastic. We enjoyed just spending the day in our luxurious room ordering room service! The four poster beds were laid out with rose petals in a heart shape... which was very romantic. We found it hard to leave the comfort... more

I can definitely recommend it. The value and the price matches and it's definitely worth a visit. You feel very welcome her and the service is splendid. more

Its extremely hard to see that this hotel is supposed to be 1 year old.Seems 10. Narrow site which means all rooms look towards another property,no sea view(or few).Shower wouldnt work properly,toilet wouldnt flush properly,stupid floor style in bathroom,,stained shower floors. Position good,staff good,food good,reception needs a sweep/clean/tidy up.Beachfront good,water clarity better at the other end of Chewang.NOT good value. more

When I first stumbled upon their website I expected a 3-star resort by the look of the site but after reading all the good reviews here on Tripadvisor I finally decided to give it a try and I didnt regret it.. With all the competition on an island like Koh Samui it is hard to make a choice but this... more

The Dara Samui undoubtedly looks the part, in its brochures and having an exploratory walk around it's hard not to be immediately impressed. But unforntately our visit left us disappointed by the ill conceived features of the hotel and certain aspects of the service. To start with the positives the Dara Samui is well located and has a wonderful aspect... more
