Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui

A great, well serviced hotel. A little older, but our ocean front pool villa was excellent. The food in the restaurants are great with a wide variety to choose from. And the beach bar cocktails are fantastic. Adopting a QR code to order food and drink to either your private pool or by the main pool would be the only thing to improve upon. Will be back.

We enjoyed our family holiday over Christmas 2025. It is a very interesting place. It is not the most modern of resorts (it was built nearly 40 years ago, although it was renovated recently) and this gives it an exquisite charm. As many other reviewers have noted it is in a stunning, very large (just walking around is about 3 km) and private location (yet only 15 min from the airport). The resort has only about 80 rooms/villas and the main attraction for us was the low key and quiet surroundings – the resort has its own beach and beautiful gardens. Had it been developed in the last 15-20 years, they would probably have constructed at least double the number of rooms, another 2-3 restaurants and bars and generally overbuilt the site. The low key also had the advantage that even at peak times we did not have a problem finding a beach bed/umbrella or a table for breakfast/dinner (although we only had dinner in twice since we like to explore). We were able to play tennis and use paddle boards (all free) at will and those few times we asked for buggies they arrived within 2-3 minutes. The staff were generally amazing – friendly, attentive, helpful, and there was always a personal touch by remembering our names. The personal touch is exemplified by the hotel manager personally taking your breakfast order at the counter and then finding you at your table! On the last day we were unable to use the beach because of heavy rain and they gave us use of a day room until we left for the airport! In summary: recommended if you want a personal charming resort to relax and unwind and we would definitively return.

My Wife and I spent 5 wonderful nights over the Christmas Holidays and the Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived to the day of departure the staff went above and beyond. We stayed in the 1 Bedroom Sea View Villa with pool and we were blown away. It was immaculately clean, stocked with all the essentials needed, restocked daily, turn down service with little treats left every evening was a wonderful touch. The outdoor space with the day beds, loungers, hammock, dining table plunge pool and that view was the perfect spot to relax, recharge and unwind for the Holidays. The food was delicious, from the breakfast to the Christmas Eve BBQ beach dinner and everything in between. We would highly recommend a stay at Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui when in Koh Samui and would definitely stay here again!

Amazing service from the friendliest and most professional staff. Food is excellent and the resort is a beautiful lush oasis.
