Kimpton Kitalay Samui

This property is highly rated on TripAdvisor, and after spending five wonderful nights here, I completely understand why. Koh Samui is a relatively small island, and this hotel is conveniently located just 10 minutes from the airport. Let’s talk about first impressions. The moment you enter the resort, the view is simply jaw-dropping. The stunning infinity pool appears to merge seamlessly with the sea beyond, while palm trees sway gently in the breeze amidst lush tropical gardens bursting with flowers. If someone asked me what paradise looks like, I would show them this view. The welcome drink deserves a special mention. It was a coconut water and lemonade blend created especially for the hotel, beautifully bottled and served on arrival. Quite honestly, it is the best welcome drink I have had anywhere in the world during my travels. The check-in process was warm, efficient, and effortless. Our room was spacious, modern, and beautifully designed, with every comfort you could wish for. The large bed was incredibly comfortable, but my favourite feature was the balcony overlooking the tropical gardens and the sea. Complete with a ceiling fan, it became our favourite spot to relax. We spent hours sitting there, enjoying the view, listening to nature, and feeling the gentle sea breeze. The main infinity pool is undoubtedly the star of the resort and one of the most beautiful hotel pools I have ever seen. There are also pool-access rooms connected to smaller pools. The beach is not private, but it is exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained. Several luxury resorts line this stretch of coastline, creating a lovely atmosphere. The sea here is calm, crystal clear, and perfect for a relaxing swim. Breakfast each morning was outstanding. The selection was vast, offering something for every taste, and we genuinely felt spoilt for choice every day. We used this hotel as our base while exploring Koh Samui, and it proved to be the perfect location. There are other restaurants at walking distance and a Seven Eleven shop close by. I am someone who pays close attention to cleanliness, I was particularly impressed by how spotless both the room and the entire resort were throughout our stay. We loved every minute of our five nights here and were genuinely sad to leave. If you’re looking for a luxury resort in Koh Samui with breathtaking views, beautiful rooms, excellent breakfast, a spectacular infinity pool, and outstanding service, look no further. Close your eyes and book this hotel. You can thank me later.

Amazing resort with amazing facilities. From the time we arrived we were well looked after by each staff we met. Very helpful with genuine smiles always. Our favorite and regular hangout spot was Shades bar. Wonderful drinks and the lovely talks with Farida and the whole bar team. We shared so many talks about hospitality and other things. They are excellent team and know how to engage with guests well. It became apparent about our drinks and they know exactly how I like my Aperol and Long Island for my friend. Hehe. We miss the laughter and all the staffs we encountered. Hope to return soon. Thank you Kitalay, you are amazing.

We had a wonderful stay at Kimpton Kitalay. The hotel is beautiful. The staff were absolutely lovely, attentive, and always ready to help. The breakfast was very good, as well as the food throughout the resort. We especially appreciated how family-friendly the hotel is while still feeling peaceful and relaxing for everyone. The only very minor downside was that the pool water was sometimes a bit warm, but that's understandable given the tropical weather. Overall, an amazing experience, and we would happily return!

We had a wonderful stay at Kimpton Kitalay Samui. The room was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side as it rained during part of our stay. However, the hotel offered plenty of activities, and we joined a cooking class with Chef Banana. He was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the class both fun and memorable. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Despite the rain, we had a great experience and would happily return again.

Incredible service, accommodation, and everything.
