Carole Carrier 2008-05-01 until 2008-05-08	World Resort, Bophut Beach Nous sommes une famille de 4 et nous avons bien aimé notre séjour au World Resort. Le personnel est d une gentillesse exemplaire, les lieux sont d une très grande propreté. Nous avons utilisé tous les services (restaurant, piscine, massage) et nous en sommes très satisfaits. Je recommande ce lieu à tous et pour les familles vous serez assurées d une tranquilité tout en ayant la possibilité, à très peu de frais, de vous déplacer sur l île. Bon séjour à tous.	Parfait. Merci pour ce service qui nous permet de voyager avec quiétude.

Petra Westelindh 2008-03-29 until 2008-03-31	World Resort, Bophut Beach Extremely well kept, very nice staff and a nice clean bungalow. The only remark I can do is that the bungalow wasn´t ready for us when we arrived. We felt forced to eat lunch at the restaurant while waiting. The meals were good and the breakfast was the best ever.	Everything worked out very well.
gomara valérie 2008-03-19 until 2008-04-02	World Resort, Bophut Beach nous séjournions au Worl Resort pour la 3ème année consécutive et celà reste toujours un vrai bonheur. Nous occupons un bungalow supérior sea side, avec une terrasse vue sur la mer, celui-ci est très spacieux, bien équipé et depuis cette année un petit coffre fort individuel dans la chambre. Ménage quotidien, entretien impeccable. A noter, serviettes de plage à disposition + 1 bouteille d eau (60 ml) par jour et par personne.Equipé d un frigo. cela permet de faire quelques petites courses. Le petit déjeuner est servi sous forme de buffet, très varié avec un cuisinier à disposition pour toutes les envies. Piscine sympathique avec un bar et les massages à portée de mains.Equipe toujours souriante, notre fille a été accueillie par son prénom et chacun est disponible pour les enfants. Restaurant très bon, choix varié avec pour les nostalgiques une petite carte internationale.Hotel où se cotoient de nombreux habitués, ambiance familiale et en retrait de l activité nocturne des lieux comme Chaweng.Village de fisherman s à 15 mn de marche.	Service de réservation très efficace, attentif à la demande et respectueux des exigences client . Transaction financière sécurisée et tarification détaillée. Par ailleurs, traitement rapide des demandes.
gomara valérie 2008-03-19 until 2008-04-02	World Resort, Bophut Beach it was our thirth stay at the world resort and we were too happy than last two others years. our daughter 5 years old loved definitively this place, it s like a heaven for her, everybody was kind, smiling and give you the pleasure to stay here. Perhaps, next year, fourth time .... French Customers very very happy. Valou (Paris).	Nothing to tell, all was perfect (we hope one number of bungalow (the same each year) , they made this for us.
Petra Wiking 2008-03-19 until 2008-03-22	World Resort, Bophut Beach Very nice staff and a nice clean bungalow. Great breakfast buffet. We would recommend this resort to all.	great
Dori Sella 2008-03-16 until 2008-03-24	World Resort, Bophut Beach This is our second year at World Resort. The rooms are wonderful, the beach is perfectly quiet (ie not too quiet, but not too noisy either). Staff is wonderful.. our big surprise this year was that dinner was excellent. We usually eat at different places and opted to eat more dinners at World. Can t wait to go back
Richard Remington 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-18	World Resort, Bophut Beach The hotel was nice. We had a quaint bungalow near the beach. Unlike the reviews we read, BoPhut beach is not really the best place for young couples and singles. There s really not much to do in the area. The beach is nice, but secluded. It s great for families who spend a lot of time hanging out at the beach or pool. The construction right next door wasn t too bothersome. Another user wrote that there free Wi-Fi, but it s not free. And it s only available in the lobby. Do check with the hotel for your transportation charges. They picked us up from the ferry port for free, but we were charged a small fee for the transportation service to the airport.
Martyn Thomas Fletcher 2008-03-12 until 2008-03-16	World Resort, Bophut Beach I stayed in the World Resort during March 2008. I found the reception staff particularly Tanyaporn friendly and helpful. We had booked a room in the main building but were upgraded to a bungalow for the same price which was really appreciated. The bungalow had all the amenities but I would say that the bathroom was tired and due for renovation. On the 15th March the resort had its 29th Anniversay and the owner laid on a magnificent free buffet, thai dancing and other entertainment. Bophut beach is lovely and probably more suited to mature travellers. They care about their guests at the World Resort and I would recommend it.	Efficient as always.
Pam Heaton 2008-03-07 until 2008-03-12	World Resort, Bophut Beach These pretty bungalows are more crowded than the web photo. Most of them are duplexes and are lovely if the neighbor is very quiet. We had a quiet neighbor for 2 nights, then a rowdy crew that kept us up. Spring break kids at the pool also partied loudy until I complained at 11pm. All this in addition to construction next door. Lovely staff, good breakfast buffet and pretty garden setting. I prefer Maenam beach for peace and quiet.	No problems, easy to reserve.
Elin Hilderbrand Cunningham 2008-02-29 until 2008-03-18	World Resort, Bophut Beach We loved, loved, loved the World Resort. It is much more beautiful in person than on the website. The grounds are lush, well-kept gardens that lead to a gorgeous part of the beach. The pool is wonderful, the bungalows are immaculately clean and the restaurant food is delicious and well-priced. We stayed for 18 nights and by the end of our first week, we considered World Resort our home. The staff was so friendly and kind (the desk staff ordered a cake, unbeknown to us, for my son s 6th birthday.) They made staying at World Resort a delight. It was like being with family, and when we left, we cried and promised to return. It is a very special place with a lot of soul. It is PERFECT for families. We had two interconnecting bungalow rooms that allowed us to bring three kids and a nanny and we were all very comfortable. There are fancier places to stay on Bo Phut beach but World Resort is the friendliest -- and that, in the end, is what matters when you want a place you can relax and enjoy with your children.	Sawadee.com was easy and fast!
Bernice Pollock 2008-02-22 until 2008-02-27	World Resort, Bophut Beach We were in Thailand a month, and this is the best hotel we stayed in. The initial price was more than we usually pay, but the breakfast smorg is amazing, and there were lots of little extras and in the end, it was a bargain. There was construction next door, but the hotel compensated us with a free supper and free thai massage, so for us that more than made up for the inconvenience. The grounds were beautiful, the beach quiet, the hotel spotless and the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I would go back in a minute!
Sue Ann VanDomelen 2008-02-06 until 2008-02-15	World Resort, Bophut Beach We really enjoyed our time at the World Resort. It s close to good restaurants and the Fisherman s Village. Although the bungalows are a little old, they were very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this resort to our friends.	Good...no problems
Peter Barnes 2008-02-04 until 2008-02-09	World Resort, Bophut Beach We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at World Resort. Its location on Bophut Beach must be one of the best on the island being quiet and peaceful yet within easy reach of shops and restaurants . A superb buffet breakfast is provided in the delightful restaurant overlooking the bay and serviced by charming and friendly staff. We had been warned that construction work was in progress next door and my request for the siting of our bungalow as far away from the development work as possible was honoured and we suffered no disturbance from the adjacent development. We enjoyed the free Thai massage and the beach facilities. Our Superior Garden Bungalow was very comfortable and well equipped. Service throughout was good and staff well trained and helpful. Our only negative comments are that the room was a little dark as it was necessary to close the curtains to prevent passers by from looking in the room. Some form of net curtain or blind would have been useful. Secondly the bathroom,although perfectly functional, would have benefitted from some updating . Hot water to the washbasin and a few hooks come immediately to mind. We have no hesitation in recommending World Resort to anyone providing that they are aware of the neibouring construction work.	Booking service was easy over the internet ,took into account my requests having warned me of potential construction hazard. Excellant.
Karsten Thorsen 2008-01-12 until 2008-01-16	World Resort, Bophut Beach Very good hotel nice and clean,very good and freinly staff good food and super breakfast would recommmend this hotel to all	good and fast
Mark MacKenzie 2007-12-20 until 2008-01-03	World Resort, Bophut Beach It was a wonderful quite and beautiful place to stay. The staff were very good and helpful. The food was excellent. Great for family. Wonderful if your main reason is to relax.	very efficient
Angela McPherson Otula 2007-12-19 until 2007-12-26	World Resort, Bophut Beach We had a great family holiday in world resort. The hotel was lovely, was on a nice beach (still not too busy) and it had beautiful views from the restaurant. The food was fantasic and fairly priced. It was great value for money and the staff were absolutely brilliant, always smiling with great service. There was some construction going on next door but we still had a wonderful time. The hotel gave us lots of vouchers as compensation for the noise so that was great.I d definately recommend it.	It was greatand easy
Martina Pieterse 2007-10-20 until 2007-11-03	World Resort, Bophut Beach The world resort is a nice place to stay. The rooms are great and the food is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Weve had a nice holiday, except for the weather, 2 weeks of rain. Too bad they are building an enormous IBIS hotel next door, lots of noise and if its ready the, allready small beach will be packed with people.
Anna-Maria Guest 2007-09-17 until 2007-09-26	World Resort, Bophut Beach peaceful and pretty, it was right next to the beach, the complimentary thai massage was wonderful, the staff were lovely. nice clean spacious rooms, bohput beach is a great area to stay on samui.	quick and easy, a response within 24 hours.
Mitsuru Sakai 2007-09-09 until 2007-09-16	World Resort, Bophut Beach We had a promotion plan at World Resort which includes 7 nights stay with 5 nights pay. We stayed superior cottage that is the next one from beach front cottage.It was so nice. Very clean and huge balcony where we could enjoy watching the beach and read books.Breakfast buffet was not the best because we did not have any steamed rice or boiled one. Pool was spacy and clean. Little bit far from the pier of Boput.	very good.
Marifie Vedder 2007-08-11 until 2007-08-16	World Resort, Bophut Beach The resort location was ideal for family very quite and away from the crowd and noise. The beach was nice and sandy if the tide is high. However, when the tide goes down the water was muddy underneath. The room was big enough for a family (a couple and 2 children)but they don t give you enough supplies for the shower such as shampoo, soap and towel and you need to ask for more. If you are lucky they come quickly or if not it will come the next day. The aircon was not working properly so we have to asked for a fan to supplement it. The food was a little bit more expensive than the other resorts in the neighborhood but it was a good quality. The massage is also expensive compare to the other massage service along the beach. The massage next door was better and cheaper. The pool closed early at 8pm and opened at 8 am which is too late if you want an early dip in the morning. The next time we go back again we might have to try to stay in Chaweng as the beaches looks nicer.	Booking service was great.
DESSEROIT 2007-08-09 until 2007-08-15	World Resort, Bophut Beach We had booked a family bungalow with 2 communicating rooms for 6 nights. After one minute in this old furnitured bungalow we have decided to search for antoher place. We have spent 1 night, paid 2 because of so called early checkout policy. Anyway, even though the restaurant is great, beach is nice, garden also, I did not want to spend my vacations in Samui in a so desperating bungalow. Ok there is air cond, but bathroom and furniture seemed to come from the 60s. Pool was also small and old, with work in progress just around... We found a much much nicer place in Chaeng Mon beach for less money...	Used sawadee on another booking: it was very reactive and smart.
Carla 2007-08-04 until 2007-08-07	World Resort, Bophut Beach we stayed at World Resort for 3 nights and we liked it, is a very nice and quiete resort, rooms are big and clean, there s a nice big swimming pool, a good spa, the food in the restaurant is good and the staff is friendly. It is also near at the fisherman s village where there are many nice restaurants by the sea, I recommend this resort to all doesn t want to be in busy Chaweng but at the same time not too far from it, about 10 minutes by car	Good service and very professional
Cecilia Larsson 2007-07-19 until 2007-07-26	World Resort, Bophut Beach Nice and quiet surroundings. We liked the luxuriant foliage among the bungalows. We had one standard bungalow and one family bungalow, the small bungalow was very nice and genuine thaistyled but the larger bungalow was a little bit of a dissapointment. It was to much cement and no thaistyle at all. The staff was very helpful and nice all the time. The beach was very nice, not crowded at all and had kayaks, jetski rental, salesmen with icecream, clothes, BBQ/fruits, tatoos and more. But there was no hustling, just polite people. There is a lot of dogs on the beach and at the hotel area, they never disturbed us but it could be good to know that they exist. We liked World Resort and the staff and the hole of Koh Samui. But, a warning! The swimmingpool has a broken floor with very sharp edges. Our son injured his foot badly on our third day of our visit and we talked to an other guest whose son had an accident in the same way in the same pool but two years earlier! There was also an other incident during our stay. So beware of the swimmingpool, everything else was nice.	Everything has been smooth and easy!
Yumi Kamohara 2007-07-15 until 2007-07-22	World Resort, Bophut Beach Good location. The bungalow, breakfast and the staff were great. The atmosphere of this resort is excellent. Unfortunately the water in front of the hotel was not clear, although the view of the sea was splendid. There were a few vendors on the beach but they weren t persistent. We recommend this hotel to families and couples.	Great.
G. Messinger 2007-07-14 until 2007-07-20	World Resort, Bophut Beach Resort needs some more fine-touch to justify the nice pictures in the website. Location is one of the main shortcuts- too far from the main attractions, you will no-doubt need to add transportation to your expense budget. The staff in the restaurant was outstanding and so was their willingness to adjust the menu to our taste. The ladies in the massage parlour, although more expensive than usual, were very professional and devoted, I will surely use their service again when I get back to Samui. My son (11yr old) was injured in the swimming pool as a result of sharp broken tiles, needed medical attention while in vacation, and couldn t enjoy the pool or the sea for several days. The rooms we got were very spacious, the joining door is a benefit. Mixed feelings about location and standards might cause second thoughts if I wanted to come again to Samui.	Booking service is very efficient. We got exactly what we expected regarding booking.
P.R. van Alphen 2007-07-04 until 2007-07-07	World Resort, Bophut Beach We enjoyed our stay at Bophut beach in World Resort. Good facilities; nice room/seaview bungalow. The restaurant is surprisingly good and staff is friendly and helpfull. We rented two motorbikes and spent a lovely holiday on Koh Samui.	very efficient
Mari Vaananen 2007-06-28 until 2007-07-03	World Resort, Bophut Beach Very nice resort with beautiful garden.Friendly staff and spacious and clean rooms. Good location, too.	Perfect. We always use Sawadee.com in Thailand.
Emma Gillon 2007-06-19 until 2007-07-02	World Resort, Bophut Beach lovely rooms in a nice part of the island. the bungalows aren t on the beach though, and only a couple have even a view of the sea. the staff are really lovely - very welcoming and helpful, and the pool side spa is wonderful.	good
Brad Clark 2007-06-07 until 2007-06-14	World Resort, Bophut Beach Great Resort with friendly staff. Had an incident with one of our children (she fell off the bed) and the staff were excellent at helping, drove us to the hospital and came and collected us. Excellent location with a nice beach. Only things we would have liked would have been a phone in the room and adjustable air conditioning (could only turn it on and off). But all in all, a great well priced resort ideal for families who want somewhere nice and quiet to relax.	Good and prompt, no complaints at all.
Christine Grindley 2007-04-13 until 2007-04-14	World Resort, Bophut Beach Very nice staff and beautifully kept gardens. The resort is quite big but because of the layout of the bungalows doesn´t feel impersonal. We booked a buffet for the sonkran festival and we really enjoyed the food and the lovely music. Our accommodation was spacious and very clean. If you like bigger resorts without a corporate feel, I can highly recommend this place!	The booking service was very good. Would definitely use them again.
Debbie Fieldwick 2007-03-30 until 2007-04-03	World Resort, Bophut Beach A nice spot on Bophut beach. Good rooms and friendly and fairly efficient service. A little expensive but a lovely spot on the beach not too busy.We had a family bungalow next door to the pool..good size but unfortunately a nasty smell (sewrage)occurred a couple of days in to our stay. Staff were very helpful and moved us to another room promptly. The pool needs repair..a few broken tiles. My daughter cut her foot quite badly on a broken tile. This is a family friendly hotel , our three children 6,8 & 11 enjoyed their stay. At Breakfast a good selection of foods was on offer. Restaurant in a lovely location overlooking the sand and sea..food was good too. We did move after 5 days to Chalee bugalows ( non air conditioned but right on the beach just a hundred metres to the left down the beach) ..5oo baht per night for BASIC bungalow with toilet and shower ...(reminded me more of my time in koh samui 20 years ago!!)We stayed at Chalee for a further 4 nights. Lovely small family run ..just very basic..	Fine..no problems
Dori Sella 2007-03-06 until 2007-03-14	World Resort, Bophut Beach Restort is great. We have stayed at 5 different resorts in Samui - all were nice however World is the only one we would return to for the following reasons - 1. Location - Bophut beach is wonderful. Quiet, yet not dead - World is located towards the west, but still in walking distance to fisherman s village and other restaurants (King Fisher on the main road to the left is a must to try as well as Baia Italian in Fisherman s village. 2. Rooms are great value for price 3. Size - the resort is not too big, but large enough to be able to offer diversity - included breakfasts, evening dinner & entertainment, and guests. 4. The guests - World seems to bring back many people, many people we talked to have been coming back year after year and love it. Attracts people who are coming to relax and respect each other. 5. Staff - unasuming, and quietly accomadating. All in all - we can t wait to return.	As always reliable and responsive. Thank you.. ko poon ka..
Zachi Laor 2007-03-05 until 2007-03-12	World Resort, Bophut Beach -The best resort in the best beach in Koh Samui.We came a family with 3 kids, intending to spend there a week and stayed 15 days because we had such a great time. The best things: the beach, the pool, the hospitality, the restaurant (great breakfast), the location in the Island (15 min. from Chaweng beach by taxi), the pool+beach massages. The only bad thing is the dogs that share the beach. We ll defenetly return to the resort, and we highly recommend it, especially to families with little kids.	The best.
Kevin Knight 2007-02-19 until 2007-02-24	World Resort, Bophut Beach We had a wonderful time at the resort. The staff were very friendly and helful. Very clean in the romms at at the resort itself however the rooms are very dark. We would stay there again if we were to return to Ko Sumui.	We had no problems with the bookings and the costs were all written via emails.
Annette 2007-02-14 until 2007-02-20	World Resort, Bophut Beach Very nice resort- it could be more luxurous, but the staff was very friendly and the food was excellent. Also the spa at the pool was very good.
Tina Weedon 2007-02-12 until 2007-02-28	World Resort, Bophut Beach The delux seaview room was to a good standard and excellent location and clean. The superior rooms need updating wasn t happy with this room at all particularly this bathroom far too small and dated. We would stay again but only in delux or honeymoon suite. Staff very good and the food excellent. Would be happy if the dog could get treated for his ear infection he was in pain with it.	Booked direct with the hotel, very good service
Andrew B Paul 2007-02-10 until 2007-02-22	World Resort, Bophut Beach Well managed resort, clean, pleasant bungalows in a beautiful and quiet garden area. We were moved last three nights to the hotel building due to limited availability. The hotel was just as pleasant except for the noise from the street. The restaurant was reasonably priced with great food, with entertainment three times a week. Wait staff occassionaly missed details -- like briging a needed fork with desert -- but nothing drastic. A great resort for kids. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Would most definitely choose this resort again if staying on Samui.	no problems.
Petra Sunnemark 2007-02-07 until 2007-02-18	World Resort, Bophut Beach It was a very good hotel. Nice and friendly staff. We didn´t want to go home! It was very easy to stay here with the children (10 and 12 years old). A wonderful garden and a paradisebeach.	We booked two hotels at sawadee.com and it was easy and pleasant. Everything worked out.
Kim Jensen 2007-02-05 until 2007-02-07	World Resort, Bophut Beach Good resort located close to the airport. Excellent service, the pick-up from the airport worked perfectly. We can highly recommend the place.	Good service
Ronald Moetwil 2007-02-03 until 2007-02-22	World Resort, Bophut Beach This was our third stay at World Resort. We stayed in Sandy one time. Over the years World Resort has improved their level of service from great to very very nice. The improvements we saw last time made our stay even better. High quality service at an affordable price. World Resort is located in the still quiet part of Koh Samui. With a motorbike you can get everywhere you want. I would recommend World Resort to everyone.	Simply easy.
Ragnhild Golling 2007-02-03 until 2007-02-08	World Resort, Bophut Beach It is a very nice hotel, good breakfast, but a bit far from evrything, shopping and restaurats.	Very good. I always use Sawadee.
Marie Kruse 2007-01-29 until 2007-02-18	World Resort, Bophut Beach We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the World Resort. The resort area is lovely, the restaurant perfectly suited for our needs, and most importantly, the staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. The interconnecting bungalow is perfect for a large family, although we were a bit envious of the equipment of other bungalows (tea making facilites for example). A few minor complaints: - most of time the sea water was muddy and even when it was clear there was not a fish to be seen. - Our next door neighbours were chain-smoking on the terace, subjecting us and the kids to a lot of passive smoking. The front desk tried to find another bungalow for us but unfortunately all was booked	Efficient and friendly
Robert Oleschak 2007-01-06 until 2007-01-12	World Resort, Bophut Beach World resort is a very nice place to be, especially when travelling with children. The service is efficient and the pool is very good for children. The staff at the Spa are very friendly and good. We enjoyed our stay there.	Very good.
margaret mack 2006-12-28 until 2007-01-07	World Resort, Bophut Beach my family and i had a wonderful stay at the World resort. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, food great and the rooms very beautiful, clean and very well maintained. All in all, i would thoroughly recommend this resort and can t wait to go back. The location is excellent, there are lots of restaurants nearby, good shopping in nearby Chaweng.	No problems, everything went smoothly
Mr William Guiney 2006-12-22 until 2007-01-06	World Resort, Bophut Beach We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel (2 adults, 1 5yr old, one 17yr old). The staff were very friendly, the facilities great, and good (yet pricey)food. My one gripe is that it is over-priced as tax & service charges are not included in the price..that includes eating/drinking in the restaurant. Its a shame really as this detracts from what otherwise is a great set-up...the management should take heed!! The New Years Eve gala dinner was fantastic! We would go back, but would be put off a little by the pricing (Eg massage here 400 baht, anywhere else, 200 baht). this was my 4th stay on Samui, next time I return, I d revisit my favourite, the Peace Resort in Bo Phut.	Superb as ever
Anni & Alan Wanless, Finland 2006-12-20 until 2007-01-01	World Resort, Bophut Beach Staff was friendly, food in the restaurant very good. It would be nicer though, if all the prices included the service charge and tax. As a Scandinavian one feels little bit cheated when the final price adds up to more than you expect. There were also compulsory Christmas and New Year´s dinners. The bungalow was very dark. No proper reading light, so reading in bed was impossible. Free daily beach towel at the pool was great, so you didn´t have to drag one from home with you. Also free thai massage and dinner for two were great.
Anna Verbina 2006-12-07 until 2006-12-14	World Resort, Bophut Beach The resort is 26 years old and you can feel it in bungalows, lobby and restaurant, especially when you just moved from brandnew Hillside village resort. But in general it s old and good. We were happy with our accommodation in a standard bungalow, only 20 meters from the beach and breakfast nearby. It was a little bit dark inside, but cosy and always clean, with a good aircon, which doesn t disturb you at night. 200 meters to the left by the main road there s a wonderful BBQ, 89 Baht per person: unlimited selfservice. Simple and tasty food, most clients are Thai people, what makes a good free atmosphere (surely better, than in any restaurant for the tourists).	Very efficient, highly recommended
Mr.Mark Wordley 2006-11-18 until 2006-11-22	World Resort, Bophut Beach An ok hotel although there is better available for the price. The room and the resort was a little old, tired and in need of renovation. 2 friends stayed at the Lawana Resort a few minutes away and paid around the same price. The resort and their room was far superior. Most resorts quote their price including room tax but this one didn t which was a little misleading when comparing. I doubt if I would stay here again.	Very efficient as always.
Pia Fröberg 2006-10-13 until 2006-10-27	World Resort, Bophut Beach Very friendly staff always willing to help and assist. Clean & nice bungalows! A place to recommend!	Effecient and customer oriented
