My Wife & I stayed at Tongsai Bay in late September 2008 for one week & had a super time. We were met by a lovely receptionist with a welcome drink & cold towels plus a complementary upgrade to a hillside cottage ! The room was excellent & had all you could wish for. The location is stunning & the... more

We stayed at Tongsai from 14.09.08 to 20.09.08, we had an amazing stay here. We had planned to go to Koh Pangnan for 6 nights after but loved our stay so much we came back for a further 3 nights (after 3 on Koh panghan), I cannot recommend this hotel enough , especially to honeymooners. From the moment we arrived... more

Tongsai Bay is unique amongst holiday destinations. It is not a top city hotel surrounded by other corporate structures. It is set amongst nature, sharing all that nature can offer - a perfect compromise between tropical rainforest and landscaped rolling vistas leading down to the azure sea. The cottages we have stayed in exude Thai tradition alongside comfort, luxury and... more

Our 2nd stay at this hotel, this time we went with friends who have stayed there 5 times. We spent most of August there and still did not want to come home. The greatest attraction for us is the staff and whilst a few faces had changed the level of service and friendliness had not. They have the ability to... more

Quite frankly the recent reviews of this hotel are not an accurate reflection of what to expect. First things first, Samui is a lovely lovely place. people will tell you that its overdeveloped or ruined by the tourist industry. Whilst that might be the case in Chaweng it is not at Tongsai. The hotel is built into a hillside in... more

I have just read the review written on 13 Sep by MEW18 London. This has prompted me to also write and advise future travellers to this resort. We also arrived after staying at the Oriental Bangkok (fabulous hotel!) Celebrating our 25th anniversary we were looking for something special. We had booked a seafront cottage and were bitterly disappointed. I agree... more

We spent an incredible honeymoon at Tongsai Bay and can't recommend it highly enough. The service was impeccable, you can call up a little golf cart to collect you at any time! The Floyd's Beach bistro is lovely for lunch and the main Thai restaurant is excellent. We threw ourselves into it and attended several of the dinner events such... more

I am writing this review sitting in the internet cafe at Tongsai Bay with ants crawling over my feet, taking a break from looking for alternative accommodation. We arrived at T.Bay last night (after 3 wonderful nights at the Oriental in Bangkok) and cant wait to leave. T.Bay is more expensive than the Oriental and we were therefore expecting similar... more

I think overall this resort is over rated. We paid 350 euros per night and the room was quite dated, dark and the windows and glass door of the bathroom were not clean. When we arrived we had another cottaged booked but had to upgrade (at our own expense) due to a terrible smell and because this cottage was very... more
