MATCHA SAMUI RESORT formerly Chaba Samui Resort

Location is great and access to the beach and shops is good, pools are also nice. The family suite has good views and is spacious.

Beach towels provided in room but no towels available poolside or beachside.We stayed in the family suite and there was no crockery, cutlery nor microwave, no cleaning items. The room wasn't furnished well, limited storage and no proper wardrobe, very little provided in terms of toiletries.When poolside or beachside, there are no available drinks or nibbles menu to upsell to patrons, you have to go to the bar to order drinks & food.The breakfast buffet wasn't great either, seems the hotel is running on a bear minimum spend.

Breakfast wasn’t bad, it had a good egg station and decent bread. The 4th floor rooms had a good view. The beach is nice.

Despite booking for 3 people with breakfast included they insisted that we must pay extra for our child’s breakfast (at 275/day for a toddler who barely eats). Felt like an unfair money grab.The gym is not usable. Ancient dirty equipment. Our first room on the second floor was very moldy smelling, made my lungs hurt. Luckily they moved us - the 4th floor room was much nicer.

Close to the beach

Old room, smell of mold the entire five days we were in the room

Everything, fantastic location and a very comfortable stay,good food ,clean, helpful and everything went smoothly

Was pleasantly surprised. We arrived early and they were nice enough to give us our room. Suite was massive with an amazing sunrise view. Hotel is average but for the price its decent. I would definitely recommend.

My wife and I were booked into the Matcha Samui Resort for two weeks. We were accommodated in spacious rooms in the adjacent lake view building. This building has its own facilities which include a pool/jacuzzi on the third level and very small gym on the second level. Facilities are good with suitable furniture provided around the pool area, with hand towels and water provided in the gym.Whether accommodated in the main building or lake building, the services and support provided by the staff could not be faulted. The staff were always professional and respectful and greeted all guest with a “wai”, irrespective of the time of the day. All of the staff who my wife and I interacted with over our two weeks are to be commended for making our stay in Matcha a mainly positive one but a big “shoutouts” go to Pinn on reception/restaurant, also to Kae, Preaw, Khaw and Gan, “support and wait staff” in the restaurant and pool/beach bar for their positivity and helpfulness throughout out stay in the resort. Housekeeping and room cleaning was a regular feature of Matcha’s attention to the cleanliness of its two building and its picturesque grounds.

The lake building suffers from almost constant noise harassment from three venues at night. Of the three bars/restaurants producing the intrusive music, one has a band that plays loud music until 2:30am - 3:00am, 6 day per week. The noise levels impacted our ability to sleep and the quality of our sleep. Unfortunately, our room on the 4th floor of the lake view building suffers from very poor WiFi connectivity with regular WiFi dropouts. A better connection to the WiFi was achieved if and when we took our device down to the 3rd floor pool level or over to the main building; however this was not always possible especially when resting in ones room or at night and in that respect WiFi dropouts was a frustrating problem.The daily scramble for sun lounges in favourable positions around the main pool and on the beach was unacceptable. Guess would reserved sun loungers by placing their hotel provided beach towels on the loungers before disappearing, in some cases for hours. Sadly, this frustrating and unacceptable behaviour was seemly tolerated by the hotel as there was no signage or verbally given instructions preventing guess from engaging in this practice. Guess in the adjacent lake view building were at a disadvantage as most of the loungers were secured by guess in the main building.

Right on the beach, pool very close to the beach.

Very stiff beds (like at many places in asia).

The location next to the beach was superb. The surrounding gardens were attractive but the pathways could do with smartening up. The staff around the breakfast room & beach bar were very helpful & pleasant.

The room was on the small side & lacked storage for clothes. Other than that it was ok for the price. The bed was very firm & even adding a mattress topper didn't fully overcome this.

Good location. Easy to walk anywhere in chaweng and beach on doorstep. Big room which is good with young child.

Great location, super family friendly, good food and amazing staff!

On the beach! Nice and friendly staff! Great view from the room

Location was fine, short stroll to all the restaurants and bars and quiet nights. Lovely pool and right on beach

Paid extra when booking for inclusive breakfast. This was very basic with limited choices. Would have been better to have better breakfasts in the nearby restaurants and cheaper. Bathroom is absolutely tiny, too small considering the rooms have been recently renovated

The location was ideal in terms of the vicinity to the Chaweng central so it was quiet enough not to be too loud and the beach area was excellent and not too crowded. The property was clean and very relaxing

The food was not the best in the restaurant and breakfast was mid. Not a big issue but there were many restaurants and bars close by as an alternative. There wasn’t a Seven Eleven that was close by enough, you had to walk at least 15. Mins for the closest one

Clean and solid rooms, nice design

Booking location is near the sea, but they have 2 buildings, and they have us a room far from the sea (in the other side of the road). And asked us to add money if we want a room in the other building.

The location. Beautiful beach. The swimming pool was fine.Our first impression was bad because we booked a room in the lake building (cheapest, but still not worth it). We switched to the beach building and the mood switched positively. The location's ammenities and beautiful beach made us book an extra night and we had a great time here!

The rooms are outdated. The main door locks don't feel safe at all. The staff is friendly but seems to lack a bit of training in the hospitality business, not necessarily their fault but the management's.The beach bar can't compete with the neighboring bars, but it has enorm potential.Try to book the beach building isntead of the lake building. The rooms are quieter (consider the bars next door with live music every night) and in better condition. Overall, the hotel is ok for the price, so you get exactly what you pay for.

Close to everything and it’s in a quieter section on the strip but far away from anything. The beach is great in this location and everything is well priced at the property. We looked at other properties for the 2nd part of our stay, but it was still the best fit for our family. Definitely back again next year

The beds are hard, but all the beds in Thailand are hard.

Location was great. Room size was good. Loved the balcony

Bed was extremely hard Need a shower screen as floor was dangerous when wetMore beach lounges needed

Although location was busy , to be able yo walk to city centre was great

No balcony for the largest room they offer , room had no privacy during the day cause from all windows , from both 2 rooms, people walking to their rooms can look inside and see what you do.

Right on the nice part of the beach & Main Street so best of both worlds, the beach is amazing & staff so helpful & friendly

Good place, right on the beach nice rooms

We originally booked the lake building which is on the other side of the road from the beach and it just felt further away from the beach, pool and restaurant. We ended up paying to upgrade and enjoyed that much more
