Banburee Resort and Spa

the room were nice.

a lot of things..... this is suppose to be a 4 star hotel, but when you get to the restaurant, they never had what they offer in the menu. the hotel is extremely far from any of the island attraction, the beaches or clubs. Also they offer airport transportation but doesnt offer transportation to the pier, wich is one of the main and cheapest ways to get to the island and its near the hotel than the airport. Other thing is that the hotel staff doesnt speak or understand English, so if you want to order anything is almost impposible to get.

Great location in a lush tropical gardens with palm trees, frangipane bushes in blossom, large butterflies and quiet. Made for realxation in pristine swiming pool with view to islands and occasional dip in the shallow sea. We came in the end of October and there were a very few tourists there in our resort. As we were seeking relaxation and quiet, it suited us perfectly.

We were surprised by the high cost of the transfer from the airport to the hotel that was at least the double of the price we would pay in Bangkok for a trip of similar length (cca 25 km one way). However, cost of transport is a typical Koh Samui feature and is not particular to the Banburee resort.

Very nice pool, Deluxe villa was nice for the family to stay, spa/massage services, nice surroundings, great view to the sea, friendly staff

It would be nice to have a small grocery store (7/11 or Family Mart) near the hotel, or the hotel could provide easy connections to the nearest store. More shuttles should be available to Lamai/Chaweng and back.
