Samui Paradise Chaweng Beach Resort

It actually is paradise. We rolled in during a sticky June heat, the kind that makes your shirt question its loyalty. From the second our sand-crusted feet touched the property, we were greeted like returning royalty, if royalty wore swim trunks. After checking in we were told it was happy hour. Already win And then there was Ryan. Sweet, glorious Ryan. If the hotel were a film, Ryan would be the unsung hero who saves the day, fixes the AC, makes the cocktail, arranges your dinner, and somehow remembers your name, your drink, and your exact level of sunburn. The guy was everywhere. Need a towel? He’s there. Confused about your bill? Already fixed. Mid-existential crisis about leaving tomorrow? He hands you a drink and reminds you that breakfast is still included. The pool? Sparkling. The ocean? So calm it made meditation apps feel redundant. The beach? Raked clean, not a single selfie stick in sight. A miracle. Breakfast? Tasty enough that you forget you’re technically eating eggs made in 90-degree heat. Coffee strong enough to wake your third eye. No soggy croissants, no powdered orange juice pretending it’s fresh. And the room. Clean. Spacious. A bed that felt like it had been blessed by monks. The kind of setup where you pretend to check for Wi-Fi but really just want to sit on the balcony and your life choices while staring at the sea. Look, it’s not the cheapest place on the island. But if you’re into things like "comfort," "sanity," and “service that reminds you humans aren’t so bad after all,” then it’s worth every baht. In a world full of overpriced resorts with fake smiles and stale pancakes, Samui Paradise is the real deal. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I kidnap Ryan and bring him with me? Possibly. Book it. Bring sunscreen. Tip well. And tell Ryan he’s a damn legend.

Small cozy resort with fantastic green garden, beautiful beach view, very clean, nice restaurant and tasty breakfast, friendly and attentive staff, beautiful sunrise.

Amazing stay over Christmas and New Year. The hotel exceeded our expectations and the setting was gorgeous with so many small touches and details to make you smile. The staff were exceptional and we felt their service reflected a 5 star rating. Cherry was amazing- he was absolutly fantastic and we have never felt so welcome whilst staying in a hotel before! Nothing was too much for Cherry, he had excellent knowledge of the local area, was so friendly and genuinely wanted the best for our stay. Thank you so much to all the staff, we didn't want to leave and we would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat, would definitely visit again!

Idyllic hotel located at the end of the beach away from the main drag of Chaweng. Very clean with a nice pool and amazing beach. The rooms are all small huts and the greenery around the hotel makes it feel like you're staying in a jungle. Breakfast was great, loads of options and they really know how to omelette. Getting to places by tuc tuc was incredibly easy, or Grab was an option for taxis too. One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in and Phensiri restaurant across the road is fantastic too!

We last stayed here in 2019 before Covid and liked it so much we decided to come back. It was very good then, it is great now. We noticed that in the rooms that they have new bathrooms, new air conditioners, new very comfortable beds and great new blockout curtains. Unique property as it is on the smaller side for the main seafront resorts. It has about 40 Thai villas with a pool and dining area. It is absolute beachfront, just 5 or 6 steps down from pool / dining area to the beach. Moving on to the staff, the most friendly professional team and nothing was too hard for them. They are always cleaning when not busy and the whole pool area is always just so. Rooms well cleaned and fresh beach towels every day in the room. I am coeliac and the kitchen was able to produce most of their Thai menu items gluten free and knew what they were doing if I tried to order something a bit ambitious. They also ordered in gluten free bread for me for breakfast. We had been to Koh Samui before so spent most of our time just relaxing at Paradise and will definitely be back.
