The Library Samui

We stayed in a secret pool villa and I must say the whole experience of staying at the Library was fabulous. Great location, no need for taxi's etc as everything is on your doorstep (shopping, restaurants, beach). The rooms are super unique and had the best shower and a great bed. Excellent coffee in the room (Illy) and an a la carte breakfast. Lovely big pools, great for laps. Staff friendly and keep the whole surrounds extremely clean. I would highly recommend The Library for your beach stay in Chaweng...it would be hard to beat!

This is the fourth time I have stayed at the library. The fist time in my own, on the way home from a business trip in Europe. The second with my wife were we stayed in the secret villas, the third time with my wife and two teenage boys and this time, the fourth, just with my wife again. ||Every time has been exceptional. The Managment of the property is nothing short of impressive with every detail covered. The consistent competence and friendliness of the staff is rare with nothing ever being a problem. ||The Page restaurant is always so warm and inviting with a seriously good selection of authentic Thai and Weston options and a great wine list. Joy, who I believe is the restaurant manager and her team certainly knows hospitality. ||There is a quiet section of the property that has the most beautiful pool on one side and an absolutely stunning beach the other. It’s absolute bliss. Or there’s a beach bar and cocktail vibe in the other. ||This place is a true gem in every respect.||I can’t wait till the next time. ||Massive thanks to the whole library team for more unforgettable memories 🙏🏝️

This is an amazing place. Photos don’t to justice to what it actually feels to be here . We stayed in secret pool villa . This was a bit expensive but we loved every corner of it . The hotel has amazing staff that are very attentive . May be the best service I have ever experienced. The hotel is beautifully designed and everything is so well done . If you are looking for a calm vacation with a beach view and relaxing vibes . This is the one for you !

We stayed at The Library in a smart studio room. Step outside the hotel and there are bars, market stalls, the mall. We were amazed at how quiet and peaceful it was to step back into the resort and our room. You really have the best of both worlds staying at The Library. Breakfast was great and we also had room service, which was quick. We loved the large red and yellow adult pool and each time we swam, we were given cold bottles of water by the attendant. All staff we encountered were most friendly and helpful. We are keen to return!

We sadly only spent one night, we stayed in the Bookmark and it has to have one of the biggest beds in the world. Also the TV wall could swivel around to face another day bed/lounger. Spacious bathroom and had jacuzzi and outdoor shower. Excellent decor, red tiled swimming pool, quiet and relaxing. Great selection of drinks and cocktails with a perfect Negroni. Breakfast had a wide range of a la carte options for western and Asian tastes! I would definitely come back!

We booked the library for our honeymoon and it was the best choice! Mandi was really nice and the sweetest staff (or manager) in this hotel! He guided every detail of the hotel and trying to support us all the time. I fully recommend to stay in this hotel for your trip.

We again choose to stay at the Library and booked a room type of "room allocated on arrival", but we guessed we would get the entry level smart studio. Whilst we appreciate that it is not necessary to reward repeat customers, it would have been nice to feel appreciated considering the distance we travelled to stay at this particular hotel. When we asked about an upgrade in room type given this was our 4th visit we were left starring at each other for 5-10 mins until a manager appeared and curtly informed us that we had booked a smart studio room, which was incorrect, and that our room wasn't ready (which wasn't an issue for us). What was an issue was when our room was finally ready the bin still had the previous guests flight details in it.|Stepping away from reception we decided to begin our holiday with out the appreciation of the reception staff.|While I did enjoy this holiday there were many pages missing from this chapter. Bar staff were more invisiable than visiable, then to have staff at your table every 5 mins while having breakfast.|The buildings themselves are in desperate need of attention, as this hotel prides itself on it's contemporary pristine white minimal lofts are sure needing immediate action to address various issues. Even the bar fridge made more noise than the air conditioning.|Given everything in this review it didn't distract from our visit but the money you pay you expect better. The staff were all friendly around the grounds|Will we return, yes but with a little intrepidation.|Hope the next chapter makes for better reading

We upgraded our room to the Bookmark it was huge, largest bed I’ve ever stayed in. Clean with a Full sized fridge, day bed, lounge area and study desk with Mac PC. Shower was large and water pressure good. Bidet toilet also. We had a jacuzzi in our room which didn’t work consistently. Maintenance had to be called to use it and every morning the water had dropped and was nearly empty, |The bathroom lighting needs attention very dark not great to do make up in.|Breakfast is a la carte. It’s okay, nothing to rave about. |Pool areas exceptional and clean along with the bathrooms in common areas. |All in all a great experience and location is top notch for beach and Main Street.
