My stay at Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui was nothing short of exceptional. The hotel is a gorgeous boutique retreat, offering a quiet and peaceful atmosphere with impeccable style and attention to detail. The design of the entire property feels thoughtful and refined, creating a sense of relaxation the moment you arrive. Staff: The staff here is truly outstanding—attentive, dedicated, and committed to making your stay unforgettable. Their service is warm, personal, and they go out of their way to ensure every guest feels cared for. Private Beach: One of the highlights of the hotel is the private beach, which is accessible only to hotel guests. This adds an extra layer of exclusivity and tranquility, making it the perfect spot to relax without crowds. Swimming Pool: The pool is located right by the beach, spacious, and incredibly inviting. The pool staff is always on hand, setting up lounge chairs, offering cold water, and handing out refreshing cool towels, adding a luxury touch to the experience. Breakfast: The breakfast here is outstanding, with a special juice bar where you can enjoy freshly squeezed juices made on the spot. Every aspect of the breakfast is carefully curated, and the overall experience is delightful. If you’re looking for a refined, serene, and luxurious getaway, Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui is an excellent choice. I can’t wait to return!

Nothing

Very good hotel. Nice styled rooms, nice view from the balcony, very pleasant atmosphere. Motivated employees and clean private beach (hotel takes care of it daily and it is a pleasant place to stay). I had absolutely amazing relaxing time. It is a paradise. Very nice breakfast and swimming pool. Everything is very quiet and relaxed and hotels guests are kind of "selected" due to price so you will enjoy their non disturbing presence. For a night live adventures a trip to fisherman's village or Chaveng with Grab app is around 12-15 Eur and takes 20 minutes. Massage in hotel is expansive but it is absolutely charming atmosphere soI liked it.

insane value, probably the best beach in Samui (private beach where you can actually swim) , everyone from the staff was top level (from the beach boy , to breakfast/restaurants staff, porters , front desk and managers - can’t name one as all of them were outstanding). its a great hotel. we previously stayed in the named best hotel of Thailand (beach resort) but this one was better.

will surely be back!

The service and the staff were excellent. I really cannot imagine better service and personnel. Everyone was extremely helpful, attentive and had big smiles on their faces. Everything was thought out, there was even a shower and changing room to use after checking out for people with later flights.

The sea was a bit dirty and it was quite difficult to swim as it was quite deep and there were big waves but I guess there is nothing the hotel can do about this

- fish tales restaurant ( sea bass coconut rice dish is good ) - wellbeing seafront pool villa ( perfect large private pool ) - bathrub in the villa is gorgeous - friendly staff - friday movie night - tennis court for free

- location, not easy to get tuk-tuk or taxi by your self. But it is easy to arrange transportation by hotel or by using grab app.

Our stay at Garrya for our honeymoon was phenomenal! From the staff, to the amazing high quality food, and the location, it is world class. We stayed here for 7 nights and wish we had stayed more. We chose Garrya for its values of sustainability and community, and we were absolutely blown away by how amazing everything else that came with it was! We would highly recommend to all our family and friends, and we’re already talking about another trip. I have seen a lot of comments regarding the location - it’s a very short trip into town and transport is very affordable. For us personally, we valued the privacy and seclusion of the property location more, and valued the fact that you could swim without having others approach you like we experienced at the nearby beaches in town. We felt extremely safe at all times at Garrya, and felt that the staff were really well looked after by the property which makes you feel happy. We will definitely be back :)

Nothing! You cannot fault this property.

What a gem! What a great resort! The staff, all of them, is super friendly. They make sure that you have the best time of your life. The breakfast included in our package is sensational. A wide variety of food, from different bread to fried rice, noodle soup, veggies, different styles of eggs, salads, etc. The beach is lovely and private, with no other guests than the resort guests.

The location is a bit off. Rent a motorbike for 200 Baht/day. That makes your life so much easier. Don't eat at the restaurants in the resort—average food and overpriced (rates like in Hawaii). Go to the numerous night markets for dinner or to one of the authentic Thai restaurants. Use Google to find a great spot. We had fantastic food around. Chaweng Night Market, Fishermens Village and many more. The walkways from the well-being chalets to the main house, where breakfast is served, are exhausting. You go first almost down to the beach before walking uphill again.

A fantastic hotel spread around the hills of Tongsai Bay, with its own private beach. It has an old world feel in the common parts, but the rooms were modern and stylish. Run exceptionally well by Manuel the GM. Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast room and the choice were exceptional. The restaurant by the beach was also extremely good with a great location by the water. They have two pools, one of which is kids-free (praise the lord). One of the very best resort hotels I have stayed in, if you don't mind the old world colonial feel (and I certainly don't). Great stay team.

I ordered 3 shuttle buses to take us around the hotel grounds at various points. Only one ever turned up. Mildly irritating. Also the main restaurant was a bit "Meh", which is a shame as the beach restaurant was superb.

Excellent location with private beach. Excellent customer service. However for a five star hotel the bathroom was not up to standard. Main issue I have is the hotel is a 30 minute taxi ride to town. Prices in the hotel restaurants are 30% more expensive than in the town centre restaurants or other 5 star hotels I stayed in over a 6 week tour of south east Asia. Quality of the food is ok but not five star quality and not worth the 30% premium. Breakfast is excellent though.

Cost of meals and drinks. Quality of food small portions, like warm and lack of choice. Poor quality decoration of bathroom. Five o clock bed turn dow service, is disruptive.

Gorgeous resort. The staff were so lovely every single time we saw them, and were very helpful. The resort itself was lovely and you were treated like royalty when at the pool and restaurant etc. Our room was lovely, and a gorgeous view. The private beach and the pool are fab. Hotel always organised taxis at a very fair price, not ripping us off like other hotels. Best part was the cold towels they give you when you go to the lobby, a very nice touch when it’s very hot!!!! Breakfast had a great selection and was very high quality. The BBQ buffet was AMAZING. Definitely recommend.

Location is not really walkable to anywhere. Have to get a taxi anytime you want to leave so not the most convenient but again the hotel were great in organising. Ideal location for a relaxing holiday where you don’t leave the resort. However, the prices in the restaurants etc are pretty high so grudge eating and drinking there. Room service slightly sloppy where they forgot to replace certain things each day etc.
