Comment : Stephen Payne : Great place to stay with private rooms/bungalows in garden setting right on the beach with fresh water swimming pool, massage, breakfast buffet, restaurant and bar, nice pool table, darts too. Staff was friendly, clean and always returned a big smile. Date: 2010-02-17
Reserve : Online booking is easy and cheaper than front desk.
Comment : BOERS Johannes : Place has had it s glory but is still good place for the money it costs.
Muffy smel in room is minus why I didn t stay longer as planned. Date: 2010-01-11
Reserve : Perfect.
Comment : BELAID : Superior rooms have a strong smell (old / humidity); we try several rooms and it was the same. Bathroom could be enhanced(water in all the bathroom after the shower, old painting). Only 2 little soaps (no shampoo) and not changed everyday. The first two days, the beach in front of the hotel was the only part of the beach not cleaned (plastic bags ...). For the price, we found it below our expectations. Location in the island is ok but a bit far from fisherman village (lot of restaurants and shops). Seaview is good, swimming pool and sea are ok. Not many places on the hotel beach. We did not try the hotel Restaurant and massages. Date: 2009-12-29
Reserve : No problem with the booking service
Comment : James Tichler : A tad dated and not the best food in a world of tasty curries and top eats, but if you can haggle some money off the price all the good. Bit quieter being at the end of the beach, but a positive experience. Date: 2009-09-07
Reserve : Booking was very straight forward.
Comment : Michael Canton : Is a nice, small and cosy beach resort.

Comment : cantu dario : Sono 8 anni che vado in vacanza a Samui ma è la prima volta che alloggio al Sandy Resort la mia era la camera più economica grande a abbastanza per una persona in due si è un po stretti. L aspetto è un po spartano ma pulita ed efficiente poi va un po a fortuna altre camere della stessa categoria erano più ben messe in perticolare il bagno. Ma se come mè l importante avere un letto, una doccia calda e una colazione la mattina allora siete nel posto giusto.Ciao Dario.
p.s. ho alloggiato nella camera 211 a settembre 2008 Date: 2008-09-19
Reserve : Il servizio in tutto il suo genere è stato cortese e veloce.
Comment : Ainsley Chapman : We loved our stay at Sandy! We stayed in one of the standard bungalows with good air conditioning, tv and fan. The air con was great as we could leave on all day, the fact that it was quite noisy was the only issue. The bathrooms could do with an upgrade, but for what you pay is adequate. The pool is awesome especially as the sea isnt the nicest. The restaurant has a wide ranging menu and great beach location. Bo phut is a great location with a really cool fishermans village and not as full on as in chaweng. The staff were the best and really went out of their way, especially if you are nice to them, be rude and you wont get what you want. Date: 2008-09-02
Reserve : Sawadee, was really easy.
Comment : CHEN JIA : The environment and service are both quiet good! I like the garden and the swimming pool.

Reserve : the service is excellent!
Comment : Miss Simonne Waygood : This hotel is alittle run down. I paid for a superior room but you get all the same stuff in there cheapest room the only diff is you might get nicer picture on the wall etc but you have to spend for that 400bht( i paid 1200bht and the cheaper room was 800bht!! )! The 1st from I was put in smelt really bad off damp so I asked to move rooms which they did no problem. The resort is about 30min walk from fishermans village which is the nearest village. I wouldn t recommend this hotel only because there are plenty more hotels on the island in better location than this one! Date: 2008-06-23

Comment : Craig Purdie : It was a nice place and very friendly, our chalet was cleaned each day, was basic but comfortable. Food was very good with nice views. Beach looked good but sand was coarse and water not as clear so not as nice for swimming but pool was nice alternative. Date: 2008-06-09
Reserve : Great thanks
Comment : Linda Dellstål : This is a place i will come back to. Nice pool just a step away from the beach and nice clean rooms. Date: 2008-03-10
Reserve : Good.

Comment : Christiana Azab de Zwart : We had a very nice stay in Sandy Resort for 12 days. The appartment is simple, we knew this, also of the price. But every day they cleaned it and we get new towels. The resort looks very clean as well. The restaurant had very nice Tai food for diner. Also not so expensive. A very relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly people in the resort, a nice small swimmingpool and direct on the beach makes our holliday. So we enjoyed our time and if we go back to Koh Samui, we will book there again. Date: 2008-01-27
Reserve : All the emails for booking were fast and the payement was easy to do on internet. Thanks
Comment : CHRISTOPHER J CORDALL : This is an excellent out of the way hotel very reasonably priced. We had a luxury chalet which was always clean and tidy imediatly we returned from breakfast. Breakfast was a bit lacking in choice. Food otherwise was good quality and very reasonably priced. Date: 2008-01-09
Reserve : Excellent - No problems
Comment : Jason Whalen : Sandy Resort was recommended to me by two coworkers who have stayed there a few times. I don t know if management has changed since then or if they have less staff working there for the time of year, but the resort was nothing like I expected. From the time we arrived, my wife and I found the staff to be quite rude and unfriendly. The most friendly people there were the ones working the breakfast buffet, which was pretty scant itself (the same few dishes every day).
When we got to our room on the first day, we were anticipating something much nicer. Our Deluxe Bungalow had a leaky air conditioner, mold in the bathroom, and was generally quite old looking and not well-kept. Furthermore, cleaning each day consisted of changing the sheets and emptying the garbage. The toilet and sink were not cleaned for days, and we had to ask for more soap.
Finally, the icing on the cake, after a week there, was when we requested a transfer to the airport. Usually, you can get a taxi for 200-300 baht. Sandy wanted 300/person, or 600 for both of us, for a 10 minute drive!!! The hour ride from Phuket airport to Karon beach only cost 600 baht last year! When I asked the front desk guy for a break because it would cost much less for a taxi, he simply replied, Go get a taxi then, at 4:30 am. This is not how I, or anyone else likes to be treated on their vacation.
In closing, I would have to say that Sandy Resort, though having a great location, was an utter disappointment. As I said, maybe they are understaffed or had a major turnover since my friends stayed there, but I and my wife were very dissapointed with the quality and will definitely NOT be staying there again. Date: 2007-04-20
Reserve : The booking service was very easy and convenient to use. I will definitely use this again and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning on visiting Thailand.
Comment : Hans Nilsson : Woooow this is a great place! Wonderful garden, pool and beach was great. I can highly recommend this place! Date: 2007-04-10
Reserve : Simply just great
Comment : Louise : We were not at all satisfied with Sandy Resort. In fact, anyone of us has never lived in a hotel room as bad as this one. The room was not clean and had several spots of mould in the roof, the smell of mould was terrible. The breakfast was supposed to be open at 0630 AM, but it was totally empty on the buffet at that time. We were happy that we only planned to stay at Sandy for one night, one more night would have been a disaster. Date: 2007-01-20
Reserve : Booking service through Sawadee was excellent.
