Not up to par. Far from luxurious.

the hotel is located in a bay that is beautiful but the hotel and rooms are in need of a serious renovation. the rooms are outdated, with old design, dreary colors and weather-beaten baseboards. curtains rods aren’t level, bathroom fixtures are so outdated and expected bathrooms amenities are nonexistent (only shower caps and cottonballs). the liquid dispensers aren’t regularly refilled and are super old. when i checked out, i asked for help getting a cab and was told that they don’t do that, instead i needed to used the hotel shuttle with was almost twice the price. i’ve never experienced that before and i travel internationally very frequently. going from the Kimpton Kitalay to the hotel was an absolute shook and letdown. if you’re looking for a luxurious stay, go elsewhere.

Beautiful coastal location. Outstanding, friendly staff and service. Very peaceful and relaxed, never felt crowded. Good mix of international guests. Our room access required lots of steps, which I liked, but may not be for everyone.

We were two exhausted travelers when we finally reached Koh Samui after nearly two days of travel. But from the moment we were greeted by the charming young lady "Touch" we immediately felt at ease and felt warmly welcomed. Our seaview pool villa was delightful, immaculate, and so very comfortable and the entire property, including dining, was excellent. The entire staff at Garrya Tonsai Bay was wonderful and everyone was friendly, kind, and helpful without exception. Even the General Manager took the time to personally talk with us and we could see he takes an active role with all guests. One concern we had before arrival was getting around the resort hillsides during the rain (yes, we are getting older!), but friendly and prompt golf cart rides were provided upon request at any time. We'd love to return some day and give the Tongsai Bay our highest recommendation.

Can’t go wrong with Garrya Tongsai Bay

This was my first time on Koh Samui and I’m so happy we chose this hotel. Not only has it been in business for over 30 years, the service, the atmosphere, the location makes me understand why it has been so successful. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted personally, given a blessing, tea, cool towels to freshen up and shown around the property. Everything was clean, well attended to and the attention to detail was superb. We took a private cooking class lead by Pasuk who has been with the hotel for 27 years. It was a highlight of our trip! We learned so much and I loved how they are a sustainable and eco friendly hotel that uses everything from composting, to grey water systems to having their own organic garden to cook with what they grow. We hope to be back when the weather is better because the ocean was not safe to swim but that was no fault of the hotel’s, just when we could make the trip happen!

My husband and I came to Thailand for the first time and loved every moment of it. Originally we didn’t know what to expect and just trusted our gut about Tongsai and were blown away. The staff was amazingly friendly, helpful and accommodating. There was an excursions representative at the front desk and they helped plan our stay. There’s a taxi service at the hotel and 2 restaurants. The taxi prices were around the same as Grab, and was a lot more convenient. The food was a 10/10 apart from the pizza which (being of Italian heritage) we didn’t love so much. With this being said, we have stayed at the Banyan Tree and the service, cleanliness and hospitality was at par. It is walkable to a few places, but we needed to take a taxi to most places. We both recommend Tongsai and can’t wait to come back :)

Not a 5 star hotel

We were excited about our stay after seeing the great reviews online. However we were disappointed with the customer service. We tried to make them aware of our issues while we were there but the staff took no action to resolve it. After completing the online survey we received a somewhat snarky response from Manuel Lang, which was just full of excuses and once again the hotel did not take responsibility for some of the issues. The breakfast was nice and the restaurant staff at Rhoy Rhoy were good, but the staff at Fish Tales need to be taught how to engage with guests. While the overall hotel is nice, the facilities are outdated and in need of an upgrade too. I cannot say we would recommend this hotel

Lovely experience wonderful staff!

Had an amazing stay at Garrya Tongsai. The rooms were immaculate and luxurious. The staff were absolutely wonderful and attuned to our needs. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The location was great with its own private beach and a very easy kayak or paddleboard ride to the nearby beach. Facilities were all very well maintained and very clean. We had a great experience lounging on the beach, in the pool or even on our own patio area with a wonderful ocean view. Would highly recommend and definitely stay here again.

The staff are very friendly and provided excellent service. The property is very quiet but is close to the beach and not overcrowded. The only problem is the hotel is not easily accessible to any restaurants or amenities. If you like something more serene, this is definitely a great choice. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at such a lovely hotel in an interesting natural setting. Although we were a bit concerned at first about the access issues for my elderly mum, we soon appreciated the 'adventurous' terrain and the daily buggy rides turned out to be such fun for her. All the staff at Garrya Tongsai Bay really make the place special. They were all so lovely and really made us feel welcomed. We enjoyed immensely the high standard of the food at Rhoy Rhoy restaurant where we had dinner twice and special mention goes to Kookik who was not only kind, caring and attentive to our needs, but was professional and super efficient at her job. What a great example of excellent service! The clean, private, easily accessible beach was a real plus and the half moon pool was a calm relaxing place with a great view.
