2/10 Mediocre

NOT A 5 STAR RESORT
The W Koh Samui is nowhere near a real 5-star hotel. Service is basically non-existent, management is poor, and the facilities do not match the price they charge.
On the beach, there is no one to assist you: no staff to hand out towels, no one taking food or drink orders, nothing resembling proper luxury service. Breakfast is chaotic — far too few tables for the number of guests, and most mornings we couldn’t even find a place to sit. The same issue happens at the pool: it is very small with a ridiculous number of sunbeds compared to the number of rooms. With two children, we often ended up without a single sunbed available.
Activities are also poorly handled: we wanted to rent a kayak, but only one was working while all the others were broken. We tried to book a table at the Japanese restaurant inside the resort and they couldn’t even accommodate us, another sign of bad organization.
Overall, the service is terrible, far from what you expect from a 5-star property. The only positive note is the girl at reception, who was helpful and genuinely kind. Apart from her, the entire place feels more like a mediocre 4-star at best.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a true luxury experience — it simply doesn’t deliver.
