The Sarann

The hotel does not have a beach in front of it — the shoreline is all rocks, so you can’t really sit and chill by the beach. If you don’t book a sea view room or a room with a private pool, the main swimming pool is quite small compared to the number of rooms and guests. Breakfast options are limited — not a big issue, but it would help if staff kept things replenished more often. If you go down for breakfast late, there might not be much left. That said, the service from the staff is good, especially for Thai guests. Food and drink prices are reasonable, and the room rates are not too high — pretty fair overall. The rooms are a bit dated, but they come with a bathtub and even a jacuzzi, which is a nice bonus. WiFi is either not working or very slow, so using 5G is actually faster. All in all, it’s decent for the price you pay

We were lucky to get a beachside room with our own plunge pool. Beautiful except the tv CONSTANTLY had to be reset because connection lost. THEN the screen froze. With NO other entertainment, this was frustrating. The hotel is very clean, the room was lovely BUT a good hotel in a bad position. Yes, it's on the end of a Cove, but beach access is ridiculous. Choice 1 - walk down deep concrete steps onto slippery rocks being careful to not fall over onto the broken glass or choice 2- walk along the crazy busy main road onto rubbish filled wasteland. At night forget rock option as there is no light, or use the road in the dark to other bars; and walk through the wasteland and encounter some questionable people hanging around the derelict buildings along this part of the shore. So no choice of venues as a change of scene in the evenings. Pool is nice, but as two 70 year olds with knee issues, the VERY deep drop into the pool made access difficult. Food OK. wait staff lovely. The beach is good, could do with a cleanup, but there is NOTHING to do and NOTHING near enough without taking a taxi Disappointing, we don't expect wild night-life, but access to some form of more than just sitting around eating and drinking would be welcome. This is not Sarann's sole responsibility but the tourist industry's to encourage some form of entertainment and to clean up the area, particularly the rubbish and derelict buildings. .

One of the biggest mistakes we made was choosing this Hotel on our recent trip to Koh Samui 1. The wooden flooring in the villa was so bad and rickety, the wooden slats coming out at many places or even caving in. There were several nails protruding from the floor which scratched our feet several times. Inspitw of reporting this to the front desk nothing was done. We were worried we would have gotten hurt. 2. We had booked a GARDEN FACING villa- but there was no garden anywhere in site. 3. The TV was difficult to use and very old. 4. The property was located right on the main road so accessibility was very bad you cannot walk from the hotel anywhere as there is no pavement. So factor in about THB 1000 per day for taxis. The noise from the road was very disturbing. 5. The jacuzzi was great and the rooms are very spacious. 6. Breakfast very average and missable
