Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Really, the only thing going for this place is the location. Beachfront room right on a (relatively) clean and quiet beach, a good place for families with kids. Unfortunately, the rooms are sub-standard, and in serious need of refurbishment (shower head not attached to the water hose, no wifi in rooms, no English TV channel, no in-room phone, barely sufficient air-conditioner, complimentary shampoo bottles of another hotel that smelled like used urinal cakes, no face towels, no beach towels, no mini-bar and so on...) Actually it was our second trip here, so the room standard wasn t a suprise, we returned for the location. The worst thing is the arrogant attitude of the management. Most of the staff were quite friendly, but the manager made it very clear that performing even basic functions as someone working in customer service was above him. When paying 2000 baht for a meal, you don t expect your food shoved onto your table edge from the lower level without a word or a smile (come on, it s only one step you need to go up). Communal dishes need side plates, not just some extra cutlery thrown on the plate. He served us the wrong dish (chicken instead of pork, there were only two choices for the barbecue skewers, we ordered by pointing to the food on display, saying pork in English and Thai, having the cook confirm pork , and write pork down on the bill). When bringing this to the staff s attention, the only solution we could arrive at was ordering (and paying for) a second dish with the correct meat. All we got from the manager was a look of disgust and spite, and yes our bill was presented to us for 2 pork barbecue . Someone in his position would know from experience how to solve simple issues like this for guests. It occurred to me that he just doesn t care. Really horrible atmosphere, and I will never return there.
The booking agent was very helpful and the service was very good and efficient as usual.

Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach The hotel staff is very friendly and the food, specially beef is excellent and really not too expensive, normally difficult to find in Thailand.The internet could be improved so it can be used from the rooms too. It is no big deal to change.The Vongduean beach is a great location and really worth to stay there.
Very good service from the booking center.

Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach This was my family with friends second visit to Cabana Resort and it is charming with the beautiful location.Though it is not up to the hotel but I find it disturbing to be met on the beach of representatives of the national park to collect money. I would appreciate if this payment could be done when booking the hotel or ticket for the boattransportation.Another disturbing detail, I suggest there are some more toilet paper in the bathroom than 1 roll. I also suggest that towels for the beachchair are availible in the room when you arrive.

Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Here location is everything, one would wish that the cabanas were more up to date and that the beach (in the trees) were more tidy. But the beachfront cabanas have the most wonderful view, so nice to wake up and see the ocean!

Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Very basic for the price I payed. Appart from the location have nothing positive to say. $100 Aus is way too expensive for what you get - cheap furnishings that could break any time, rock hard beds, poor breakfast choice, Stayed at the Samed Pavillion Resort the last time and that place was of a far higher standard.
Quick and easy

Samed Cabana Resort, Koh Samet, Vongduen Beach Excellent location. Beach front rm is right on the beach. Take the Malibu boat from tha Pae pier, very convenient. Rm was great, except one thing, that bathrm. Bathrm needs to be cleaner.There are so many flies at the restaurant as well, need to manage the garbage better.Overall would go back there and recommend to everyone.
