Perfect for 22 years
I have lost count the number of times we have been here, firstly as Poppies back in 2004 and now as Anavana. Despite the change in ownership, the hotel retains as much of its charm and many original staff who treat you like family and are an absolute joy. Immediately you arrive "home" and walk through the glorious pathways listening to the koi swimming, and just get bigger every year, you are instantly transported into relaxation. But if you need further assistance, the spa is so welcoming and yesterday's massage must rate as one of the best ever. All 24 cottages are an oasis of calm, not just a room to sleep in. The food is gorgeous, I could happily eat my way through the entire menu and not find anything I didn't like. If Pong at the bar ever stops smiling then the world must surely have ended! I would name every staff member if I could but Lek, Jim, Ame, Oud and Pong deserve special mention. I always cry when I leave and have no doubt tomorrow will be any different. Until next time Anavana, thank you for hosting us. If in doubt, just book it, you will NOT regret it. Khun Helen & Khun Nick x
Relaxing and quiet atmosphere, friendly staff
The atmosphere in the hotel was so serene, the rooms were clean, staff both cleaning, restaurant, and reception were so friendly and accommodating. The beach was so beautiful, we saw several really friendly dogs walking early in the morning, definitely adds to the positive experience. The food was so delicious. We got Thai oil massage, and the masseuse's hands were so soft I felt so relaxed that I fell asleep. There are so many trees that the noise from the road or other cottages doesn't even travel far. And there is a koi pond that surely adds to the zen calmness.
Heaven at Anavana
Of the four times we’ve visited Koh Samui our stay at Anavana made this trip the best one. The bustling street outside is in sharp contrast to the serenity and peacefulness of this hotel. We were warmly welcomed by Miaow before being led through beautifully manicured gardens, little bridges, enormous koi and singing birds. Sounds magical? It is! The cottages are very comfortable and private and the beach in front is a long stretch of clean, white sand! Staff are incredible and Lek, Am and all the restaurant, bar, housecleaning and garden staff are friendly and very professional as is Dollar in the spa room. While there is some evening entertainment the charm of Anavana and its staff are what make this hotel extraordinary. Outside the hotel there are lots little restaurants, coffee shops, 7-11s and a great little juice bar offering all combinations of fresh fruit drinks and smoothie bowls. Our next trip to Koh Samui will definitely be at Anavana.

Nice hotel but overrated
Overall, the hotel in Koh Samui is quite good, but not excellent.
Pros:
The beach is very nice and clean. There are lots of sunbeds, and there are always free spots. The location in Chaweng is good — everything is nearby. The bungalows are decent enough and have good soundproofing.
Cons:
The bungalows look a bit worn out. The bathrooms are in serious need of renovation. The breakfast is very poor; there was basically nothing to eat. the very poor service is at every stage, from the reception to the restaurant. A few examples:
On the first day, we arrived around 16:00–16:30 and went straight to the beach. We had to persuade the staff to give us at least a couple of towels because, in their opinion, it was already too late and we’d be better off coming back the next day. We stayed for 14 days with a 6‑year‑old child. Every day we ordered something for the child for lunch, and only three days before departure did I find the kids’ menu myself at the front desk. In a week and a half, no one ever offered it to me! When checking out, I came in the evening to pay the bilsl. They asked what time I was leaving the next day. I said around 6:30 a.m. On the day of departure, I came to the reception at 6:15, the taxi was already waiting for me. Based on my experience, check‑out usually takes 1–2 minutes. But I had to wait 15 minutes because the housekeeper wasn’t there (or was still asleep) and they couldn’t find him. When I complained about why I had to wait so long for no clear reason, they replied: “Well, you said you’d be leaving at 6:30, so just wait.” This is the first time in all my years of travelling that I’ve encountered such nonsense. All in all, the hotel is probably quite good for Koh Samui, and the beach is especially nice. But I’m not sure I’d want to stay here again.

Best holiday ever!
From the moment you step into Anavana the experience is fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and an absolute delight. The gardens and cottages are so well maintained, refreshing and therapeutic. The bar and restaurant are perfectly located seaside with beautiful cocktails and food. Staff are on another level! We have already booked again for next year. Every visit new friendships across the globe are made. Would highly recommend.
