Bill Resort

About the hotel:
After ten nights in a Superior Building room at Bill Resort I m ready to return. The natural wood and rattan decor complimented the natural greenery. Beautiful geckos and frogs out at night. Great restaurant with seaviews. Really friendly staff. Great value.

Romm is basic, you can hear if your neighbour is talking. The pool is great and the breakfast is good

About the hotel:
Bill s resort is a nice quiet place where to enjoy the beautiful Lamai Beach. The location of the resort is perfect for its easy access to the beach, though few minutes away from the center. Rooms are nice and cleaned. Service of the resort could be improved.

About the reservation service:
The booking service of sawadee.com is excellent.

About the hotel:
very good hotel. the reception helped me a lot. people at there are very nice. but the location is a little hard to get to (both the island and the hotel..), if you are not by a taxi or minibus to there. the sea is good also. only thing that pitful is the sand -- a little harder than I expected. any way, is t a good choice to go to Koh Samui and stay in Bill Resort.

About the reservation service:
easily to use, working with my credit card (for the first time I used it overseas)

Best resort around. Many trees and flowers, great swim pool. Friendly personnel. Some problems was with water heater in bungalow, but repaired quickly. Вig thanks to tour agent at reception. Breakfast is good. My family are happy. Note that rate for Deluxe Bungalow is for two peoples, extra bed for children. Second children required another extra bed. Not clear in description.

About the reservation service:
No problems. Very good. Big thanks. Next time i come here again.

About the hotel:
Nice location on Lamai beach. Fast descending shoreline, you can swim in the ocean the whole day unlike Chaweng beach which is very shallow on low tide. Close to few beach restaurants. The personnel is very friendly. Good breakfast, and good a la carte restaurant. We stayed in 3 types of rooms: 1) New Deluxe Bungalow. Nice interior, but too far from the beach and facilities. You have to climb up the hill to get from ocean/pool/restaurant. When we first checked in I killed a giant cockroach in the bathroom, but that was the first & the last time. 2) Superior room - that was okay but I didn t notice anything superior . The bathroom was very small and shower was too close to the toilet. 3) Standard bungalow. Very close to the beach and facilities. Interior is quite old, but that didn t bother us. Best value for the money. Negatives: There s no Wi-Fi internet. Sometimes from some places at the resort you can access Orchid Suites network but that is not reliable. The computers in internet room are old and slow and infected with viruses. The printer was not working and no one could help us when we needed to print air e-tickets so I had to research and install drivers..and all that time I was charged. The reception personnel trying to cheat. One of the guys forgot to mark that we paid for the room in advance so on checkout we had to search for the bill to prove that! The other lady was trying to charge 600 baht for the airport taxi even though the price paper before her was clearly saying 500 baht. Overall I would recommend Bill Resort if you are looking for a cheap beach-front resort. It is worth the money.

About the reservation service:
Excellent, no remarks

About the hotel:
We didn t enjoy our time here and feel we wasted these days. Unfortunately we booked because it was listed in Lonely Planet. If you look around, you can find much, much better places for the same price or less. We ended our stay on Koh Samui at a gorgeous resort that was cheaper than this place. Also, the town of Lamai iteself is a seedy dump. What s my beef with this place? Ok, first I have to say that the staff was very nice and the rooms were kept clean. However, this was far outweighed by all the negatives. First of all we had a New Deluxe Bungalow that wasn t deluxe, wasn t new at all (was in fact a bit tired), and doesn t really look as nice as the pics on the web. Disappointing. Cable TV? Well, if you don t speak German, there is only Bloomburg financial channel in English and once in a while a boring German news program will be broadcast in English. The pool is not as big as it looks in the web pic (think they used a wide-angle lens), everything is crowded down there and there are noisy children about. Furthermore, forget about getting a beach chair. We were there for 2 days and didn t manage to get one. Why? The place is mainly visited by Germans and they play their little game of getting up early and leaving their towels laid out on the chairs to reserve them, returning hours later to actually use the chairs. So you unless you do the same, you will go out to a beach with all the unused chairs (at least half of them by mid-late morning) covered by towels and you are absolutely out of luck unless you want to steal a reserved chair and have a later confrontation with its owner. Not really a nice atmosphere. Furthermore, there certainly aren t enough chairs to begin with, for high season. In our 2 days, we never managed to snag one. Well, we did wisely use our second day to hunt for a new place to stay. Until maybe in the later afternoon there is no shade from the coconut trees that you could spread your towel under, and even then you would have to worry about one falling on your head as they were not de-coconutted (I also saw a woman and her young daughter almost hit by a large heavy palm frond that made a huge sound as it hit the sand, they would have been injured). So it will be scortching sun for you, my friend, or no beach usage at all. Also, the beach itself is not very nice. I don t know what snorkeling people are talking about - I had my gear and saw maybe 4 boring fish, that s it. And definitely no coral. The restaurant had ok food but was overpriced. It would be nice if they would turn down the volume of the music. Breakfast was not so great. Water was really overpriced too. The place has an internet area, but it too is overpriced. What I didn t like most, I guess, was the prevading sense of cheapness of the place, and the feeling of being had. Bill (if that is who owns the place)could offer DVDs and players for rent. The sign posted proudly in the bedroom with the dire warning of a large fine for taking your bath towel outside was not nice. The sun unbrellas advertising Western Union with Bill s Resort stenciled on them were tacky. The showerhead holder placed at knee level (to make people take shorter showers?) was bizarre. If you stay here you ll begin to notice other little signs of cheapness too; the feeling I got there was that Bill is just out to mint money and doesn t care much about his guests. Seriously, look around and find a nicer place. I feel that we wasted not only our money, but 2 days of our trip. Perhaps the people posting good reviews of this place aren t aware of the better places for the same or lesser prices.

Quick, fine.

About the hotel:
Nous avons passé 3 nuits au Bill Resort à Samui. L hotel est situé dans un site trés calme sur Lamaï beach. Confortable et bien situé, cet hotel devrait faire un effort sur ses petits déjeuners, trop souvent les denrées sont froides. C est dommage car le personnel est agréable et efficace.

Efficace et compétent
