Pretty Good
by Wendy from Hong Kong, 14 Jan 07
Can't afford luxury hotel, it is the best choice with tight budget and good location (near supermarket, rental cars co and beach as well). Breakfast is good with basic American and Chinese food, bedroom not enough lighting and not clean but acceptable. AtSiam.com staff are very helpful as well.

Not worth it overall ... once bitten never again
by Anonymous from San Francisco, CA, 17 Jan 07
Cheap holiday to go in and quick to be out from, as Al's resort is close to be a ripoff absolutely not representative of the real traditional Koh Samui much higher standards we should all look for:
Rooms are not maintained properly after only 2 years already falling apart.
Expected services are nearly non existent.
Location not the best and unique one without any shade from the trees all put down, with awful buildings including a small swimming pool shared between Villas and Gardens sides.
The Management is definitely poor catching short time backpackers whom can not afford it too long ...
Food quality is less than average only pretending.

Would be dream to be here again, spent 3 weeks there
by Annick from living around Brussels/Belgium, 18 Feb 07
My stay at Al's resort in may 2006 was really good. I enjoyed very much the room (decoration and comfort), the pool is ideally situated with a wonderful view on the sea. The food at night on the beach a "little paradise" or during day time around the swimming pool.
Chaweng is quite busy day and night time but the hotel is far from all the noises. The good supermarket you find going out of the hotel is also a good help. I will never hesitate to go back in this hotel ans warmly recommend it to persons who wants to keep a good souvenir of Koh Samui. Just don't forget to have a meal at Popie's = The best "chef" of Koh Samui!!

Wish I had longer there....
by Anonymous user from London, UK, 18 Mar 07
Little bit expensive I think i had a beachside bungalow there was no view but was very easy access to the beach but garden apartments would have been just as easy, but this was by far the best accommodation I had on my trip (I only stayed here for 3 nights). Great location was central to everything. I was traveling alone and felt very safe at all times.
The food at the (evening) restaurant was superb! The beach was quite busy, but i suppose that's to be expected in a central location.
All in all this was a great place to stay if you're willing to pay that bit extra for good standard central accommodation without paying 5* prices.

Incredible Customer Service
by Jo-Anne from Vancouver, Canada, 19 Mar 07
February, 2007 - We arrived without a booking and resort was full. Lovely woman at the reception phoned around to other resorts for us (even to other islands). Receptionist booked our ferry and arranged for a taxi. As we had to wait 4 hours for our ferry, Al's Resort stored our bags for us (free of charge), even though we were not staying at this resort. We were welcome to change and use the pool, where we ordered lunch.
The rooms around the pool looked elegant and fresh. The pool was lovely with a swim-up bar, overlooking the beach. It was unfortunate there were no rooms available, as the customer service was superb. The same time last year we stayed at Al's Huts and were very pleased. They do not have a pool but guests can use the pool at Al's Resort. I would not hesitate to give this resort my business.

Would definately book AL's Resort again if we come back to Koh Samui
by Dave from Beds, United Kingdom, 4 Dec 07
We Stayed in the Garden View rooms which were more than adequate, OK some more drawers would be nice and the shower fitting left a little to be desired but apart from those minor gripes the rooms were fine. Perfect Location, right on the lovely sandy beach but back from the main road so away from any noise. The sunbeds on the beach and by the pool need renovating. Overall we had a great time.

Good room and location only
by Anonymous User from Victoria, Australia, 23 Dec 07
Good location, nice pool. Room was nice but not very sound proof from noise outside. Breakfast wasn't that great and was cold. Little information was provided about the resort, services, etc and we had to ask about beach towels, whether the drinking water was free, etc whereas other hotels had provided this info and more when we arrived.
