Great authentic Thai hotel.
Really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were really welcoming and friendly.
The hotel was very clean and comfortable, right on the beach. We ate lunch on several occasions, there was plenty of choice on the menu, the food was great and not expensive.

What I liked about the Dara was the location and location. Enjoyed seeing all these different things. The staff included all the services were very excellent!
The room smelled slightly damp because it had been raining all week long I believed.
But overall it was pretty nice!

The staff here can’t do enough to help you! They are so kind hearted and they genuinely made our stay. Breakfast was great as was the dinner on the beach in the evening. Food by the pool was great too. Room was lovely and spacious. The pool area was great. Thank you Dara :)

The architecture of the building is traditional Thai and very beautiful. Service is very good and the staff very friendly. Due to wonderful water ponds around the building where also a lot of Koi fishes are living, a lot of mosquitos are around, its beautfiul but very annoying.

Run away! Sure the rooms are beautiful and the breakfast fabulous but not only is the beach tiny and public, the sunset barely visible (while this can be the case in Chaweng and for much less money) but above all the staff is simply awful and this in general is not at all the image of Thailand. You can find so much better for so much less money...

The staff were absolutely fantastic, as with Thai people nothing was to much trouble and everything was undertaken with a lovely smile. The building was true early Thai architecture and made our stay that much more special. We highly recommend Dara Samui resort to all keeping in mind the adults only theme, we have grandkid's and love them to bits but some "our time" was great. We will be back

Amazing!
Amazing hotel with kind and welcoming staff. The dinner on the beach was kind of overrated, but there are several other possibilities along the beach. Nice hotel that gave serenity the moment we arrived.

Fabulous time in Koh Samui- Dara Samui
Great stay with the Dara Samui team. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, poolside and breakfast staff made a point to know us and worked hard to make our stay very memorable. Excellent team. Location is excellent and accessible to any activities that would interest you. Supper on the beach is a very romantic setting as the waves wash up right next to you and food was excellent.

Lovely Old Thai style hotel
Great location. Lovely old Thai Style accommodation. Shame as a 5 star hotel they charge for a bucket of ice and they need to do something about the seating at pool and beach area. Not suffer by a long shot. We couldn’t get a seat anyway we were there.

Great place
This place seems to have mixed reviews, but after learning about the covid policy on the island, and hotels on the island being completely shut down for years, they have alot of catch up to do to get back to pre covid states. This includes maintenance, updates etc.
Our stay was great, nice spacious rooms, very polite staff, always willing to accommodate requests.
Only complaint was the bed and pillows.

Stay here!!! This is an amazing property. My husband and I did not want to leave! The villa is worth the extra cost!
Fantastic dining options- don’t forget to book at Dara Serene beach dinner. The staff is amazing! Mook and Rit were amazing poolside and dining servers and were so friendly. Zay assisted with a seemless check in experience. We were treated like we were the only guests on property.
Great breakfast buffet with a made to order section.
They have a great beach area that has a break so it is calmer than the rough waves further down the beach. Walking distance from beach clubs and water activities but this resort offers so much you really do not have to leave.
If we go back to Koh Samui, we will not consider staying anywhere else.

This hotel is on a nice part of the beach and walkable to many restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
My only complaint is poor water, pressure in the shower (I have long thick hair), and the water temperature fluctuating from hot to cold. Not sure there’s a whole lot the resort can do about this, we did make a complaint about the water pressure which got slightly better, but no changes in the fluctuating water temperatures from hot to cold.
The staff were kind, and attentive.
Make sure to get a coconut shake! I think our family had them every day. The other fruit shakes were also delicious, but the coconut one is special served right in the coconut!
Dinner on the beach the way they set up. The tables is truly a unique experience.
The seafood is excellent, as others have also said.
Hotel made it easy to arrange pick up and drop off at the airport.
