Crystal Bay Beach Resort

Amazing location, but the hotel itself is showing signs of age. Some services had been stopped since covid like the cafe and shuttle to Lamai, and the place felt a bit short staffed. The rooms were quite basic, but the bed was extremely comfortable - nice and soft unlike a lot of the other hotels we stayed in Thailand. The beach was the best on the island by far and was very peaceful as there aren't many hotels nearby. If you do stay here, make sure to eat at Silver Spoon and Tips Tacos as they are much better than the hotel restaurant.

A simply stunning location overlooking a beautiful bay with amazing turquoise blue water.
I stayed with my family and after a long trip was happy to be welcomed with warm hospitality. The staff waiting up late to check us and were very pleasant and helpful.
We will be back, thanks again

Looks absolutely nothing like the photos, infact some photos you see advertised are for the hotel owned by the same people just up the beach. The ponds outside the bungalows have gross black water , never been cleaned, tiles are broken everywhere and look awful, thatching is falling apart, tiles in pool broken, staff pretty unaware,they Don't take cards, poolside rubbish gets left out, we noticed our pizza dish there 2 days later, lighting is awful at night, whole place needs refurbishment and a good clean, it's a health hazard. My kids have fallen over no end, everything is literally falling apart. Beach nice, but you can visit that for the day so don't waste money at this hotel.

Cozy little property with very nice views - loved waking up each morning with the picturesque calm bay lined with large rocks on the left. Fairly priced for a good accommodation. Helpful and accommodating service from the staff. Had a comfortable and laidback stay in this beautiful area.

First of all I must say that this is not really a resort, it's rather a hotel positioned on a busy and noisy road, run by kind people.
Unfortunately you can hear the noise of the road from many of the rooms and from the bar/ pool area. I must also say that at night the road is quite silent, but during the day it's super busy.
The pool is minuscule, in front of the bar/main road and in the middle of the way to the beach, so not inviting and relaxing at all.
The only highlight is the beach, which is absolutely stunning!
The complex is quite old, although some parts have been renovated.
My room (a superior) was ok, quite clean, very comfy bed, good silent aircon. Bedsheets and towels had stains.
Breakfast was ok, but nothing special.
This place is a good solution for one or two nights, but personally I wouldn't spend more time here.
For a longer vacation, I'd rather stay in nature, far away from a busy road.

Stayed for 3 nights in possibly the nicest bay we’ve been in in our 10 weeks in Thailand. We were upgraded to a huge beach room with our own loungers . The room was cleaned well and had pool towels and usual amenities. Pool was very clean with 2sunloungers and plenty of tables and chairs with a lovely view. Staff were friendly and efficient ( including when removing a huge spider which they thought was tiny with a smile and nice chat). The beach is very clean and the snorkelling good for Koh samui. There are beach bars and restaurants within walking distance - would recommend the Silver Spoon. Would highly recommend this hotel especially the beach front rooms.

Crystal Bay was a welcome treat after having been camping. The location is perfect and offered morning sunrises on the beach which was about 10 metres away,the staff were very friendly,the rooms clean but we would suggest to go out for food as there are many options nearby including Rossini Ice cream that has great vegan ice cream and the mexican place not too far away.The beach was pristine and the water warm and clear,we would recommend this as a great place for those that love the beach.
