- Hyatt Regency Koh Samui

Arrive to the long dramatic illuminated lobby at Hyatt Regency Koh Samui with a fresh breeze flowing through and natrual sun and moonlight coming through. Walking along this fresh lobby walkway, will take you all the way to the the oceans edge for the perfect frame for your first vacation photo. The resort is built around the YangNa Trees (protected trees in thailand) and coconut trees, famous to Koh Samui. The hotel grounds has over 600 trees on our 8 acres, the hotel design based on the hotel being a gallery within the protected forest allowing guests many places to sit, rest, look out to the ocean, walk within tropical and garden flower beds and of course celebrate. The hotel has 140 rooms, including a regency club, 17 suites and 7 pool villas. Each of the villas are at the beach and seaside edge and have large expansive deck areas. The Presidential Villa is the largest and most luxurious of all. The hotel has a signature grill restaurant and bar by the beach, Lobby Bar social space and a Spa of 5 treatments rooms (2 are double suites). The hotel has event space of 190sqm allowing sit down western dinners of 100pax, cocktails for 150, and we welcome events outdoors, beach and other locations of our hotel.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
beautiful pools great setting excellent breakfast
The hotel is very beautiful, but the entrance to the room was not very inviting. It felt a bit like we were going down into a basement when walking to our room.
The room itself was very nice and spacious, but the bathroom layout was a little unusual. There was no hand soap by the sink. The room was very clean.
The air conditioning was quite noisy.
The service by the pool was excellent, and the staff came very quickly whenever we pressed the “call” button.
The hotel was very crowded, and on our last day we could not find an available table at breakfast. As a result, we decided to check out earlier and go elsewhere to get food.
Breakfast felt somewhat chaotic, and the atmosphere was not particularly pleasant.
Overall, I thought the hotel was okay, but it cannot be compared to some of the other five-star hotels we have stayed at.
Had a fantastic stay in hyatt regency koh samui. Great vila with dedicated teams to look after guest requirement made our stay very special. Vila was by and large flawless. Services were prompt. Open bath is a special charm here.
The multiple levels of pools and restaurants were really helpful. We mostly had our meals at yangna but found Cube and the regency club also equally useful. Cobalt bar served well during our swims. Food quality and options are quite good. Only disappointing thing was lack of drought beer supply. Breakfast at yangna was again quite good with wide range of choices and courteous staff.
The property is really well planned with different vantage points giving opportunities of excellent photography. Also , two pool tables and kid activities keep you busy when you are not in the swimming pool.
Special thanks for Marbell who made the Vila arrangements so special. Kudos to DOR Trisna for running such a motivated team. Also want to mention Nicky, Maple, Pangji and Tan in yangna , Q and Bebe at Cube and all the staff in Cobalt ( don’t remember the names ). Housekeeping special mention goes to BO and SU.
We will definitely come and stay here again
Good resort, lot of things to do within the resort, breakfast has wide spread. Have to rely on cab to go to main centre but orherwise all good!
We had one of our best beach vacations at the Hyatt Regency Koh Samui. On this trip, we moved here after a short stay at the Kimpton Kitalay Samui, so I wanted to share a quick comparison for anyone deciding between the two. For our family, the Hyatt was way better, even though the nightly rate was about half of what we paid at the Kimpton.
The Hyatt has multiple beautiful pools, including a cute kids' pool, while the Kimpton has just one fairly standard pool that everyone shares unless you're staying in a swim-up room. The Hyatt's layout is much better with layered pools and path winding through the beautiful grounds. The breakfast was much better with more tropic fruits, fresh coconuts, and overall more and better food options. The Hyatt also has a club lounge which helps a lot when you have young kids.
As a Hyatt Globalist, we were proactively upgraded to a very spacious suite before arrival, while we did not receive any upgrade as an IHG Diamond at the Kimpton.
The Hyatt's location was less central and the beach has coarser sand. However, the relaxing atmosphere and being able to do a bit of snorkeling right from the beach more than made up for those.
I also really appreciated the resort's commitment to sustainability, from designing the resort around the beautiful Yang Na trees, to the organic gardens on site, cute "touch-me-not" plants along the pathways, and in water recycling and solar panels. It just feels good that the resort tries to make the island a better place.
