Poppies

Poppies was the last stop on our honeymoon and a great choice for it. The site is right on the water, so you get to eat/drink at the restaurant or bar (or on the beach chairs) watching the ocean. The room was very comfortable, and they very kindly provided some extras to celebrate the honeymoon!

They also provide some very nice events - a night with drinks/snacks on the beach one night, Thai dancing/music another. The pool was beautiful and very pleasant for the dip I took (though I mostly swam in the ocean).

The restaurant was really great, and we enjoyed the breakfast's Thai options each morning. The bar's drinks were very nice, and the bartenders (and all the staff) were incredibly friendly and ready to help with anything.

In general Ko Samui seemed to be pretty empty when we were there (early November) - not sure if that's all seasonal or due to changes in tourism, but it was really nice for us, as there certainly weren't crowds around. The street Poppies is on probably had a dozen construction projects, though, including some huge resorts under construction nearby. This didn't impact our stay, just mentioning it because overall Poppies was less secluded than I'd imagined (which was good! It meant good restaurants and bars very easy to walk to!). The overall lack of other tourists on the island did mean that Poppies' already-great staff were all the more ready for drink requests, etc.

Overall we would definitely recommend Poppies to others, especially at this time of the year.

Great hotel. Awesome service. Beach is much smaller than the pics show, but it's still nice.
Staff are extremely attentive and kind.
Very cute room in your own personal cottage. Nice and private and quiet as well. Just what we wanted.
Overall a very good experience.

Absolutely stunning hotel. Beautiful surroundings, staff very friendly and accommodating, rooms are very clean and cosy. This should be a 5 star hotel not a 4.
Would recommend this to anybody who is looking for the idyllic location to have a relaxing holiday. This is the perfect tropical island getaway.

Great place, like a little paradise, nice view, nice beach, top service that makes you feel very welcome and pampered. Every morning fruits at the your room, in the evening little desert in the room. Beach towel service with cold water. Just all great service. Wifi everywhere but had glitches in our room. Will definitely come back to Poppies again.

Unique, not a cheap eat like an app tld us, but glad we took the time and expense to eat their. On arrival went through some secret passages to learn about the history of the hotel and restaurant... Very original! High quality dishes, attentive/helpful staff with good English and the sound of the ocean lapping on the beach.. Outstanding but not a cheap eat...

We shared the traditional Kantoke which was outstanding. The flavors were so unique and everything was prepared to perfection. Amazing view but above all else the service stood out the most. The staff at Poppies was so accommodating from the moment we stepped foot in the restaurant. We throughly enjoyed our meal here and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice meal with wonderful Thai flavor.
