Lots of pros to this resort - excellent staff, excellent pool, fun beach, good food offerings, beautiful views. We had a beachfront villa with a very nicely sized private pool. We loved the physical layout of the property - right at beach, quick elevator ride to main pool level then a few flights up to breakfast venue and lobby (or call a buggy for ride anywhere). We've stayed at vertical resorts before where it is all buggy rides and we really prefer this option to climb central stairs and ride elevator rather than always be calling for a buggy. Good breakfast offerings, excellent sushi restaurant, surprisingly good food at Woo Bar (plus stellar night views). Why not five star? The resort is showing its age. We had several room issues that were dealt with efficiently, but they did occur and require maintenance for repairs. The hotel was apologetic, sent us wine to apologize and manager on duty followed up personally so issues were handled professionally. Even with a few glitches, we'd stay again.

We have stayed in several W Resorts and Hotels. This was a disappointing experience. The Property is old, there are very few staff and it was expensive. Totally not worth the price. We left 2 days early and will not go back.

⸻ I had a wonderful brunch experience at W Hotel, The Kitchen Table. From the moment we arrived, Tiger warmly welcomed us at the entrance and assisted us with great enthusiasm and professionalism. His energy immediately made us feel comfortable and excited for the meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish reflected incredible attention to detail — from presentation to flavor, everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed. A special thank you to Chef Ao, Chef Bee, and Chef Manos for taking such great care of us. They explained each dish with passion and impressive knowledge, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable and meaningful. We left feeling truly happy, satisfied, and impressed. It was a memorable brunch, and we will definitely come back again.

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!
