AL's Resort Koh Samui Reviews & Ratings

The hotel is old and little care. We think that when they opened the hotel it was very nice. Now it's nice but there are many things to improve: paint the wood of the pool, the most noisy air conditioned that I never seen in the room, broken chairs in the pool, a lot of lizards in the hotel,it's normal, but it isn't normal that they stay in the room.

The hotel needs an improve.

The hotel is in the center of Chaweng beach. It's perfect because you can go to shopping or dinner in many places close to the hotel.

The noise of Chaweng road doesn't disturb the guests of the hotel.

The house keeping staffs were really noisy!! 7am early in the morning, they would talk & laugh very loudly and practically shouting from one room to the next few rooms when most people were still sleeping!! We find this terribly rude!

Should also improve on the quality of the door as from inside the room, we could even hear people talking very clearly when walking pass the room.

Even though check-out time is 12 noon, most hotels would allow clients extend up to 1pm. At 11.45am, housekeeping already started knocking on the door and asked us to check-out fast, by 12noon, they already came 3 times!! We requested for just another 15mins to check out at 12.15pm just to make sure we got everything packed properly, but they said "no-no cannot must check-out now"!!!! can u believe this??

I went to Koh Samui on end of April for 4 days and stayed at Al's Resort. We booked a studio room and the room is lovely, clean, tidy, cozy and all the basic necessities such as telephone, hair dryer, cable tv and towels are provided. The location of the resort is perfectly situated in the middle of Chaweng town, within walking distance to the party district of Soi Green Mango and Tops supermarket is just outside the hotel, it is so convenient. The Chaweng beach is just behind the resort and they have an open-air massage room facing the sea.

The resort staff, especially the reception ladies are very helpful and friendly. Previous reviewers advised not to mess with the reception ladies, but I found them to be very helpful, maybe they have hired new staff. If you have any problem, just go to them and they will try to solve the problem for you.

The only setback is the breakfast which seems to be eternally the same during our stay. It will be good if they can change the menu of their breakfast everyday. Not to worry about lunch and dinner as we sampled the food at Chaweng town which is just walking distance from the resort. The resort also has motorbikes for rent and we enjoyed the ride very much.

Overall I am satisfied with Al's Resort and will definitely stay here again the next time I come to Koh Samui. Will definitely recommend this resort to my friends and relatives

Great location, in a good part of the beach, close to the main beach bar area and also close to the main bar area in the main street, but not at all noisy - very quiet.

Rooms were generally clean and functional, but not spectacular. The whole place has been allowed to get run down and is desperately in need of some love (ie. renovation). However, clean and functional ...

Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The rooms were clean and tidy and housekeeping staff were very pleasant. We stayed at one of the 'deluxe suites' which was great, compared to the smaller twin bed rooms closer to the resort entrance.

Breakfast was average and pool was quite small. The resort, however, was on the best location - right on Chaweng Beach, just a minute away from a supermarket and a short walk's distance from the town centre, where all the shopping and excellent food is. It was generally a very relaxing and peaceful stay. Great value for money!

+ Be careful if you have paid online with a credit card, there seemed to have been some confusion with other guests about whether the staff had charged the entire sum or just a deposit. Would definitely recommend this place though!

I really have to thanks for the lady in reception. She help us to arrange everything. I checked out at 4:00AM in the early morning and she help me to arrange breakfast and car to pick me up from the resort to pier. Here I want to say thank you very much for your well arrangement.

For this resort, the location is very good. The beach in front of the resort is very beautiful. Also the massage in AI's resort is pretty good. But one thing they have to improve, the bed in the room is not comforation. It's too soft so that they can not support my back.

Nice hotel in very convenient location on the beach, with nice swimming pool. But but but!!! do not reserve the Deluxe Sea View room. Do not!! why? because there isn't room like that. The hotel takes money for sea view but the window turn to the garden!!! no sea view!!!
When i asked the reception clerk why they do that she answered: my manager decided that rooms 101-105 is sea view! When we asked to get refund and pay only for Deluxe Garden View she said: you can leave!

Except that the hotel is very nice. Just don't pay extra money for something you will not get value for!

The location is perfect. Just a few steps to the beach. And there's a big Supermarket just at the back of the hotel. Very convenient!! The room is nice & simple. But the air-condition of my room is rubbish. Ice falling down from the air-con in middle of my sleep, then noisy sound. Next night, the air-con is not working at all... Glad that it's not too hot.. The staff is a bit rude & not helpfully at all. Maybe the hotel rate is cheap, so better not expect too much.

Very nice resort in very convenient location. Rooms could be little bit more clean but it wasn't so bad. Breakfast - the best in Koh Samui. I've been staying in so many resorts in Samui before and definitely can say that breakfast is absolutely great in Al's Resort. Good value for money.

Beautifully decorated room. The pool is very small but that is ok as you have the ocean just next to the pool.

Breakfast spread was good. However try to avoid the cut fruits!.
