About the hotel:
Hotel was fantastic! They are having some work done currently on their restaurants and kitchens which should even further improve your experience. The staff couldnt be any more helpful or kind. The only slight down side is a quite small pool, in every other respect it was heaven.

About the hotel:
The hotel is fantastic, the staff was kind, helpful and very attentive, and that all made our stay at the Zazen wonderful. I loved the food and the massage at the spa was superb. The only negative remark is about the beach which is small and the water is not clean.

About the hotel:
This is a very comfortable hotel, if a bit over priced. The setting is beautiful in lovely gardens. The beach is very small but has nice sunbeds, however when a wedding was taking place the rest of the residents were squashed onto a miniscule bit of beach and the lounge bar was out of bounds as part of the reception was being held there, with no compensation to the other guests. The staff were delightful and VERY helpful when my husband was ill and the restaurant manager, Diego, produced simple bland meals for him which had been requested by the hospital.

About the reservation service:
Very efficient, will use again

About the hotel:
Zazen is an experience, a concept of beauty and relaxation. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and felt treated like a king and a queen by the staff. The surrounding is fantastic, the restaurant looks lovely and the food created by chef Wally is excellent; you really have to trie. We we re pleasently surprised to see all the effort that was made to make our room special for our honeymoon. Two beautifull swanns surrounded by a heart made out of orchids. The rooms are wonderfully decorated, everything is reconsidered carefully. Just go there!!!

About the hotel:
The hotel is very nice ,the beachfront villas are at only 2 steps from the sea ,with great views and very reasonnable price .The room is well furnished .The restaurant is good ,the western menu is way better than the thai menu which is only ok ,but the restaurant is pricey ,I think there is better restaurant at this price at bophut or chaweng beach . The staff is very helpful. I would recommended this hotel which is really a good value althought the restaurant is not as better as what the other reviews said .We were a bit desapointed by the beach too, the sand is a kind of yellow color and not really white .So the water isn t very clear .The chaweng beach is better ,but there is much more hotel and people too ,whereas the bophut beach is more peacefull L hotel est un excellent rapport qualité prix ,les bungalows beachfront sont à 2 pas de la mer ,avec une vue superbe ,pour un prix très raisonnable !De plus les chambres sont vraiment confortables et bien équipées ( écrna plasma ,ipod ,lit et mobilier de bonne qualité ) Le staff est sympa et parle bien anglais . Cependant nous avions été plutôt déçu par le restaurant ,qui est cher ,et qui n est pas si bon que cela .Pour le prix ,je dirai que la nourriture est juste ok .Vous trouverez de la cuisine vraiment haut de gamme à ce prix dans d autres restaurants ,ou moins cher . De meme la plage de bophut n est pas top, le sable est plutôt jaune que blanc et n est pas très fin et du coup l eau peut etre assez trouble, on ne voit pas toujours le fond ,comme c est le cas avec du sable très clair et fin . Le plage de chaweng est bien plus belle mais beaucoup moins reposant aussi ,car à bophut on est tranquille il n y a pas beaucoup de touristes et de frequentations .

Very helpfull

About the hotel:
Hotel very plush and welcoming.We chose the garden standard room which although large enougth was quite dark due to the enclosed nature of the garden bungalows. The resort itself is very exquisitely decorated the gardens beautiful but the one area of fault the is no real lounge area where you can sit and drink and with there being no real sitting area in front of our room this was a minus point.The beach and swimming we found poor we preffered meanem.Restaurant and food very good but drinks overpriced.

About the hotel:
Wonderful little boutique hotel, where a lot of love was put into detail. A bit tricky with small children (ours were 3 yrs and 1,5 yrs) because there is a lot of water to potentially fall into, but the very friendly staff always kept an eye on them, so there was no problem at all. Great restaurant. Excellent food for very reasonable prices. Great fresh fruit juices and smoothies and wonderful breakfast buffet. We would love to come back!

About the reservation service:
Very helpful and no problems whatsoever.

About the hotel:
Beautiful pool area and restaurant. Good breakfast. The most comfortable sun beds that I have ever used and the staff were also very nice as were the many nice touches such as the tropical fish in the bathroom. The restaurant was a mixed bag as we had one great meal and one bad one. The Thai food was very bland and expensive compared to other restaurants in the area. There are a couple of small places a few minutes down the beach which did very nice Thai food at about a fifth of the price of Zazen. The bar prices were also expensive. The biggest disappointment were the prices of the massage treatments as they were totally excessive, we used a place further down the beach with a blue roof where we got excellent service at a fraction of the cost at Zazen. Another irritation is that everything you buy including trips etc gets 17% added for service and tax. We stayed in several nice hotels during our trip to Thailand and this was the only place that did this. As for the room it was pretty small and basic, the concrete floor gave it a very down market feel despite the nice artistic touches. A very nice place to stay but after a few days the constant irritating musak that gets played constantly all day was getting on my nerves. The 500 bht taxi fare to the airport just round the corner was also excessive as it only cost 300 bht to get here from the other side of the island. Overall a nice place to stay for a few days but be prepared to pay over the average for everything.

About the reservation service:
No problems.

A Restaurant of Great Romance Zazen Restaurant Samui has earned wide spread fame and praise as one of the best restaurants on Koh Samui for its superior menu, invigorating beachfront location, and dreamily romantic ambience. Much of this success is thanks to the talent and skill of master chef, Wally Andreini, creative innovator and culinary visionary at the heart of the restaurant. Born and raised in Brussels and of Italian heritage, Chef Wally trained at the famous Ecole Hoteliere de Namur before working internationally to great acclaim, and joining Zazen in December, 2004. His style has been described as organic and orgasmic: East meets West cuisine using the finest ingredients available, and drawing on an extensive knowledge of herbs and health conscious techniques, to present a menu both rich in taste and enticing in originality.

Zazen Restaurant Samui is the Thai food lovers dream, the international food lovers reawakening. The atmosphere at Zazen Restaurant is one of romance, sophistication and intimacy. At night, the trendy restaurant glows with the light of over one hundred candles. Soft jazz mingles with the sound of gentle waves and guests enjoy the pleasures of fine dining, elegant service, and the entertainment of traditional Thai dance in Samui. Meals may be taken at intimate beachfront alcoves, an experience unique on the island and forever to be cherished. The restaurant is located on the beachfront at Bo Phut, with sweeping views of neighboring islands over the tranquil and gentle waters of the bay.

THE ROUGE LOUNGE & BAR Very Hip & Trendy The Rouge Lounge invites guests for pre and post dinner drinks, wines with an extensive wine list numbering over one hundred wines, on display in a freshly created glass cellar and cocktails from a range including exclusive surprises and many specialties. Comfortable sofa chairs and a central pool table allow for new friendships to be made a shared experience to savour.


Located on the waterfront, next to the restaurant and pool, the lounge is a perfect gathering point for guests and a centre point of the Zazen social scene. In the evening the atmosphere is warm and sultry, with red Moroccan lighting and great tunes, creating the ideal setting for sipping cocktails, relaxing after dinner and getting to meet some people around the pool table. Famous on Samui for good reason: very hip, very trendy, very rouge very Zazen
