Happy place

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Jun 2019via mobile
Came to shiva in 2015 for my mum and step dads wedding and instantly fell in love with the place. I’ve been fortunate to travel to many places in the world but shiva wins hands down as my favourite. I now find myself visiting every year knowing my holiday is in good hands. My most recent trip was in April 2019 and I’ve already made plans to return in July 2019 😂 (I know I might be an addict). The staff couldn’t be more kind and helpful and they have great personalities truly lovely people. The beach is beautiful and the villas are a home away from home 10/10

Shiva is a great place to eat drink and laze around the pool
The food menu is delicious and they make great cocktails and have happy hour
The beds are really comfy and nice thick towels to use
The staff are very happy friendly and can’t do enough for you
The massages are great too looking out on the beautiful beach, I would say that this beach is the most beautiful on the island
You must give this place a try you won’t regret it
Thank you for reading my review

Shiva Samui is paradise! From the moment we arrived the first thing we saw was the stunning view..pure white sand and crystal blue sea, the peace and tranquility of the place left you feeling Instantly relaxed. We were welcomed with friendly, happy staff who could never do enough for us throughout our two week stay! Our Villas were just perfect, we had everything we needed, the villas were cleaned daily and fresh sheets and towels were also changed daily. Although we had a pool in the villas, most days we preferred to go to the beach club which was only a short walk as there was always things going on ..yoga, massages, volley ball, bbq party in the day and Salsa, fire shows and discos in the evening. We also enjoyed breakfast and most meals at the beach club and especially recommend the Thai green curry which is delicious! The beach is simply stunning, from sunset to sunrise you simply cannot get enough of the views! We enjoyed our stay so much and were very sad to leave as we were very spoilt by all the staff, especially the owners Jane and Phil who were so kind. We made some great friends and would definitely go back! Thank you Shiva Samui for giving us many happy memories of our holiday in paradise 💖

We have stayed at Shiva Samui now 5 times and plan to go back as soon as we can. We have stayed with friends, with family and also just as a couple. There is not one particular thing that keeps drawing us back but the whole experience. All staff are amazing and can't do enough for us and we have become great friends with them all. The owners Jane and Phil are often around to chat to and always make us feel at home.

Food is fabulous and there is something on the menu for everyone. I highly recommend you try a Samui Dream from the cocktail menu!

When chilling on the sun beds or in the pool the highly efficient and friendly staff are always around to ensure you are well looked after and have everything you require. Laying on a sun bed, cocktail in hand with the beach and ocean view is absolutely stunning!

Staff are always at hand to offer advice for places to go and things to do. You can do as little or as much as you please. Our favourite is to go out exploring on mopeds and discovering new places or just for a ride out to see more of this beautiful island. Reception can sort mopeds for hire within minutes or if mopeds are not your thing then you can always hire a car. We always feel safe out and about no matter what time of the day.

Staying here 5 times says it all really so if you are thinking of booking just do it, you will not regret it!

I have been here several times with family, as we make Thailand our Christmas get away. We have always had an amazing experience at Shiva Samui.

This December we once again came back to Shiva Samui and this time we stayed in the Ocean View Rooms. This is the first time we had stayed there and could not fault the view. It was nice to relax on the balcony and watch the sunset in the evening. We did have a thunderstorm over a couple of days but this did not dampen our stay. We could even stay on the balcony and watch the storm blow over. The staff picked us up from our villa to the restaurant so we didn't get drenched! We have always found the prepaid phone in the rooms helpful not only for room service but for days like that.

We have become good friends with many of the staff on-site as they are friendly and helpful. Not only that but it makes ordering easier as most of the staff know our order before we even sit down, We stayed over the Christmas period and the meals provided for Christmas Eve and Day could not be faulted. It really made it special that they put in so much effort for the occasion. Not to mention they have fresh Thai and English food which suited everyone.

As a family we always like to stay here as it's like our second home. Staff are wonderful, Jane and Phil are always helpful, and Lek is the go-to for all things Koh Samui.
