What a sad way to end a romance package with my girlfriend. I stayed at the W Ko Samui for three nights as part of a package. On day two I got severe food poisoning from a papaya salad cooking class that was included in our package — high fever, couldn’t keep anything down, completely bedridden. When my checkout day came I was in no condition to travel. I called management and asked if I could stay one additional night at a reduced rate given the circumstances. They quoted me a rate higher than what I had originally paid. The hotel was nearly empty. I explained the situation and how unreasonable it felt. They didn’t care. Because I was genuinely too sick to move to another property, I had no choice but to pay it. I’ve spent the last four months traveling throughout Asia and have stayed at numerous Marriott and Ritz-Carlton properties over the years. This was without question the worst customer service experience of the entire trip. Not a single gesture of goodwill — no acknowledgment that their cooking class made me ill, no flexibility, nothing. At this level of hospitality there is no shortage of competition. They have lost all of my future business, and I’d encourage anyone considering this property to keep that in mind.

I had a great experience with the workers at W Koh Samui, particularly Bear and Arm. I had sustained an injury in the sea, cutting open my toe, which had then been filled with sand and rocks. Bear and Arm were extremely kind and helped with cleaning the wound, taking extra care and time to make sure I was okay before going to the hospital.

From the minute you arrive at the W Retreat Koh Samui you are met with the Wow factor. The view from the lobby is absolutely breathtaking!! The pool villas were modern, beautifully decorated & very private and had direct access to the beach. Staff were very friendly & attentive. Had the most incredible meal at Namu. Thank you to the amazing chefs who just created something special for me based on what I felt like - no menu required.

This is definitely a resort with wow factors in many ways. Besides the breathtaking view of Gulf of Thailand and the Maenam Beach, the staffs left me a nice impression as well, General Manager Nick himself gave us a personal tour introduction at the beginning which led to a wonderful stay for us at W Retreat Koh Samui. Worth coming again and again!
