I returned on March 4, 2008 after 14 sleepless nights at the Nova Samui Resort on Koh Samui. The sleepless nights were the result of an outdoor, highly amplified, hard rock music venue which is located 5 minutes walk away from the hotel. The music starts at 7PM and continues nonstop until 2:30 to 5:30AM. The level of noise generated... more

In principle the rooms were okay, maybe my expectations were too high, but the room standard is not more than 3 star. The worst was the mouldy smell and damp in the rooms. We checked out appr 6 rooms before we accepted 2 of them. We did not try the restaurant because the prices were 6 times more expensive compared... more

I had a fantastic time at this hotel! I have read several reviews on other sites where people have rated it very low and felt these were unfair. The staff here were so friendly and were willing to do anything at all you needed. The rooms were basic but clean. There was enough storage space for cases etc, and you... more

Fabulous location,staff very friendly and very helpful. Pool cleaned every day and rooms cleaned with fresh towels daily. Very laid back and comfortable.Feeling of family atmosphere with the staff. Only ten minutes to beach,scooters for hire and courtesy bus .Air conditioning excellent and rooms big and airy although the lighting could have been brighter in bedroom.Massive bed very comfortable. more

Arrived at the Nova resort after a short flight from Phuket, where we had stayed at the At Panta Resort. Received a great welcome at check in and were quickly allocated a room on the first floor overlooking the superbly well kept, beautiful gardens. First impressions of the hotel were reasonable considering what we had paid. After 10 minutes checking... more

The hotel had a shuttle bus service every 30 mins which ran well, and was driven by very pleasant drivers. At the hotel we stayed... more

Rooms not 5 star, but clean, hot water, everyting you need for your holiday. The staff were all excellant, anything you asked for they helped with. Other reviewers seem to have problems with the minibus, but they always ask you what time you want picking up, if you tell them a time, they always picked us up. We went to... more

lovely hotel, excellent staff, my only reason for not giving 10 out of 10 is that the beach is miles away, but would highly recommend. more

Room was clean, bathroom needed updating, specially bath sealing where you could see all the dirtiness stuck, not enough water pressure in the shower. Local dogs in the hotel, even while having breakfast, staff quite friendly but some of them tooooo lazy (we recall a dirty plate from one of the guests being left in the corridor for two days... more
