Hotel Mantra Samui Resort (Bo Phut Beach, Thailand)

Some rooms offer panoramic ocean views, which are stunning. They may be more expensive, but guests say it's totally worth it in the end. If you're considering a room at this hotel, consider a room with a full ocean view.

Guests say the food is very good at this hotel. The stone oven makes excellent pizzas and you can also experience authentic Thai dishes—all in one place. Try your hand at an on-site cooking class. You won't be disappointed!

Guests are consistently impressed with the beautiful landscaping at this hotel. Lush vegetation and manicured gardens keep the property feeling tropical and pristine. The infinity pool is a stunner for adults and there's also a separate kids pool.

The Wi-Fi connection isn't great. You might experience slow connection speeds or even intermittent service. The Wi-Fi is free anywhere you go in the hotel, but don't expect great quality.

If you're looking for total serenity, you might not mind the isolated location. However, some guests wished they were closer to town and to better beaches. The hotel offers a shuttle, so be sure to inquire with the hotel if you wish to try it out.

This is a luxury property, so it's not going to be cheap. But guests say the value is considerable since the hotel keeps grounds, rooms, and service at a consistently high standard.
