Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

Actually, I visited the Four Seasons Koh Samui in 2018. What impressed me the most in Koh Samui was the airport—it truly has a unique character. The hotel itself was wonderful, with attentive staff, delicious food, and rooms offering stunning views.

Excellent service and one of the most relaxing resorts I've been to. Details are extremely curated and beyond expectations. The rooms are beautifully decorated, nature is incredible, the spa offers great treatments, the staff and management are always welcoming and attentive, food - especially the Thai restaurant and their breakfast - is simply outstanding. A true paradise for the senses.

Admittedly this review is a little old, but despite it being long overdue I though the place deserved to be written about. My wife and I came two years in a row, and we would have come a third year if it wasn’t due to some personal constraints in long haul travel this August. The place is wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable. Although the property is not brand new, it is maintained perfectly. The villas are wonderful and very cozy, offering stunning views (I particularly like an elevated viewpoint). I would definitely recommend one of the higher categories with a nicely sized pool. There are some “all-villa” properties clearly conceived for the guests to spend most of their times in their villas, at the expense of the communal areas. This is not the case here: the main pool and beach are very enjoyable. Food is excellent, with the star being hands down Koh Thai. I regularly travel to Thailand for both work and leisure, and I am not sure I can name a better Thai restaurant. The quality is absolutely outstanding and beats hands down some of the multi-awarded places in Bangkok. The wine selection is very well curated. Of course markups are significant (duties in Thailand don’t help…), but there are reasonably priced bottles that clearly denote care and attention for the selection. The themed nights are also very well put together, and enjoyable (they do a “fisherman night” on the beach with grilled fish and some shows, which is very tasteful and not tacky like some similar efforts in other properties). Service is wonderful and extremely polished. One can tell that there is real passion behind it. Like in all endeavours, it clearly starts from the top: the GM and his management team are CONSTANTLY roaming the property, checking on the well functioning of the resort operations, talking to guests, from breakfast to dinner. I always feel that this is a sign of great hospitality management (as opposed to managers who never emerge from their offices), and it definitely shows. With so many options around the world I would have never thought that we would fall in love with one place, but this is one where I know we will keep coming back.

We visited for their Thai dinner and afternoon tea. Both were exceptionally good, in a lovely environment and the staff very attentive.

This resort is a world unto itself! The breathtaking landscape and lovingly cultivated natural environment immediately captivated us. The grounds are beautifully maintained, clearly cared for with genuine love by the dedicated staff. Every facility—from the individual villas and stunning entrance to the pool, beach, and spa—is not only gorgeous but radiates warmth and creates an incredible sense of well-being. Despite being located on a small island, the culinary experience never disappointed us. We sincerely enjoyed every meal and deeply appreciated the passion evident from all the chefs, kitchen staff, and front-of-house team. What surprised and impressed us most was the staff's genuine hospitality, which came through so naturally in their words and actions. We stayed during my birthday week, and I suspect they noticed the date from my passport information. While I'm usually a bit shy about special attention, I found myself truly touched by their thoughtful gestures. Their way of celebrating my birthday felt incredibly sincere and came straight from the heart. The hotel General Manager personally welcomed us with warm birthday wishes, which was absolutely heartwarming. This resort experience provided the perfect remedy for my exhausted mind and has become an uplifting memory that continues to energize me in daily life. Thank you so much for your exceptional hospitality—you all genuinely elevated our summer vacation to an extraordinary level.
