Stunning views. The perfect location to wind down in for 4 days/nights. Our villa 215 (premium sunset ocean pool villa) was spacious and very clean. ||Perfect sunset view, could possibly only be surpassed by the villas in the rows partially hidden behind us (infinity pool villas). ||The property is about an hour's drive from the international airport. It certainly isn't close to anything, but has its own jetty so it might be possible to organise some sort of water taxi/charter if you needed to go elsewhere or arrive other than by road. ||You can organise a car through CH (which is how we transferred to and fro the airport). We were told the facility used to offer a shuttle service, but this appears to have been deleted. ||The Staff are wonderful and always cheerful. We were acknowledged by everyone on site regardless of their duties. It also wonderful to learn the business is looking after future generations of hospitality staff by hosting interns as part of their education. ||Lynn particularly was such a positive, friendly, helpful member and a credit to CH and the Thai hospitality industry. ||There's a variety of food options, consistently we felt the best one had to be Azure down near the main swimming pool/beach area. ||From home made pizzas or fish and chips for lunch, to steak at dinner, Staff Members Lynn and Yoogi/Noogi ensured we were well catered for. There was a lot more on offer on the menu, these were our go-to's when dining at Azure. ||Having a treatment at the Spa is highly recommended. Penny who heads the team is lovely, and understanding of my skin's damage. I didn't get the staff member's name, but had a wonderful massage and facial for 90 minutes. ||Lemongrass tea was served in the waiting room to take in the view and relax after my treatment finished.||And yes those gorgeous lemon grass infused cool towels upon arrival and through out our stay... ||There's a couple of things we were a bit perplexed about, so hopefully the following helps someone else... ||In our villa, there was no USB ports to charge our devices. There were 2 older style ports typically used for base phones near the desk area. That was a bit strange as coming from other properties in Thailand, Singapore and Brisbane the USB ports were generally beside the bed/desk areas and part of existing power points. ||We also couldn't see the TV very well from our bed. Not that the programming was great either, but as one of us had too much sun, when they had enough of reading*, they flicked through what was available, some pay TV options would be an improvement. ||On our last day we met Marco the GM at breakfast and had a quiet chat about the USB and TV situation. If only we had spoken up beforehand when we met Daniele earlier in our visit, because the TV can be pulled away from the wall and slightly turned towards the bed. At the back of the TV are USB ports to plug your devices in.! ||More importantly Marco advised that in 2026 all of the villas are being renovated (14 years old now) and a new restaurant was being fitted out and opening just as we departed. ||These will be exciting and well deserved changes for the Conrad Hilton Koh Samui. ||Although we thought our villa was in excellent condition, the outdoor furniture left a lot to be desired (think camping from Granny's garage supply... sorry CH but you could do better there.) ||* Comparing the property to Trisara in Phuket, they have a dedicated library area, this might be worth considering for the CH KS Reno's too. ||We will return again and highly recommend if you want a relaxing, stress free stay, Conrad Hilton at Samui is the place to be.
