About the hotel:
Our time at the Anantara easily represents our finest resort experience to date. We have traveled a fair bit, and to some very, very nice resorts. The Anantara is the total package. From the fine and friendly reception which included cool and fragrant towels, to the escort to our lovely room. You will find the staff to be second to none, on all levels. We selected the Deluxe Terrace, and found it to be quite lovely. The shower is particularly nice, and the tub very deep for luxuriating. If one had a hip issue, it may even be a bit too tall to climb into with ease. A point of note, some people do find these rooms to be a bit dark. We thought the terrace was wonderful, though, and loved to be able to wander out into the garden, which is a feast for the senses in every way. If you are in any way a gardener or buff for botanical gardens or landscape design, this is the resort for you. The breakfasts are really amazing, fresh and always with a new twist. We ordered room service many nights (lazy!) and really must say they pull off room service in fine fashion. Hot, fresh and delicious. The Full Moon restaurant is fabulous. The pool fits beautifully with the landscape, and is another one of the resorts showpieces. The loungers are very comfy and service at poolside and on the beach is top drawer. You will hear that the water is not particularly clear on this beach, nor is the sand soft. These are both accurate points, neither of which prevented us from walking on the beach daily, and swimming several times a day. It s not that the water is unclean; it is just different, you know? Also, there is some seaweed after about 10 meters, depending upon the tide, and that can make some folks uncomfortable. If that is an annoyance to you, lift up your feet and start swimming earlier, or stay in the pool! The spa. Have a treatment soon after your arrival. Had I realized that this may be my best spa experience since I was born, I would have been there every day. Yoga: 3 days a week, Hatha yoga, on the grass unless numbers or weather dictates a move indoors. Loved it, especially grass days! We had booked a different small hotel for the 5 nights prior to our Sawadee booking, and upon arrival there, decided to check out. We walked over to the Anantara who quickly organized us to check in at 10 the next morning, so our original 5 day Sawadee booking turned into 9. This just one more example of a staff that is outstanding and accommodating in every way. Location: The resort is located a short 5 minute walk from the village of Bophut, which is alive with colourful restaurants and little shopping stalls. Directly across the street and beside the hotel, on the main road way, are laundry shops (cheap!) and markets. The hotel doesn’t mind if your own beer makes it way into the fridge. I can recommend the Anantara, with enthusiasm, truly feel it can offer something special for everyone.

About the reservation service:
Outstanding. I had made numerous changes, number of days, venue s etc and there was no request too great, and all handled quickly and with ease. Thank you.

About the hotel:
Lovely hotel - service & food are brilliant, wonderful pool on a great beach. Looks amazing and very romantic at night with the entire resort lit by lanterns. Lovely breakfasts. Rooms are a touch on the small side by thai standards (standard western size though) but nicely finished. We have stayed at many resorts on Samui (Sala Samui, Le Meridien, Santiburi) and would definately return to Anantara. Nice walk down the beach to Bophut Fishermans Village. The cooking class is a must! Very good value for the room rate.

About the reservation service:
Very prompt service (we booked on the same day). Would recommend.

About the hotel:
This is a truly magical resort where my husband and I spent our the first leg of our honeymoon. The staff was extraordinarily friendly and charming, the accomodations were beautiful and exotic -- a grand experience way beyond our expectations. The resort is on a beach that is clean and safe, but the water is not as beautiful as you will find on Cheweng Beach. We would highly recommend Anantara to any traveler!

About the reservation service:
excellent, easy and dependable

About the hotel:
Anantara is a breathtaking hotel with the best beach on Koh Samui. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the whole resort is just a tropical paradise and peace. Unforgetable experience - the ultimate pampering - great for honeymoon. The Spa is a great expericence - little bit overpriced though.

About the reservation service:
Sawadee were great in arranging our hotel and transportation. Everything was done efficiently in a very professional manner. I would certainly use them again and I would recommend their services to anyone.
