Hansar, Koh Samui is a 5-star beachfront resort with exceptional service minded staff, great food, boho-lux architectural design elements and an outstanding luxury spa.
Service – The phrase that comes to mind when thinking back at the staff of Hansar is ‘super friendly’. From check-in to check-out every encounter with the staff members (namely Bob, Leo, Angel, and Ing) was so warm and friendly. Special thanks to Khun Ford who was truly exceptional. Our interactions evoked a feeling of nostalgia like visiting relatives after a long time away. They served a refreshing bottle of butterfly pea flower upon check-in which was lovely. The check-in process was fuss-free, smooth and efficient. Service at breakfast was also highly commendable. One particular staff noticed that a fly had sat on a slice of bread from the egg menu item just as she was about to serve the dish. She then looks at me and says, “Sorry I’m unable to service this because it doesn’t meet the standards.” This attention to detail was quite remarkable.
Location – Being in the center of Bophut, we thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of being able to step-out of the resort and explore the unassuming streets of the Fisherman’s Village. Luckily, we were there on the weekend and could visit café’s, awesome nightlife vibes, and some shopping of local designers in unique boutique outlets along the quaint streets. We were literally located in the heart of town while returning to the calmness of our dreamy bohemian-themed abode.
Accommodation – We stayed in their luxurious 75 sqm Seaview XL suite which featured a four-poster bed with romantic muslin drapes, a large stone bathtub, a dreamy king-sized bed and a large outdoor balcony. Our room number was #1302 on the third floor with unparalleled views of the main pool and sea. The highlight of the room was definitely the massive panoramic balcony with a very comfortable outdoor sofa bed. We enjoyed the airy breeze while listening to waves caressing the shoreline the mornings and evenings. This was also a perfect spot for some morning mediations to start the day. Other room features included a large LCD TV, high speed wifi, double sinks in the bathroom and a rain shower with consistent water temperature. Throughout the stay, the wifi signal was strong and stable. We were able to connect our android stick and enjoyed some Netflix shows with no issues.
Spa – The “Luxsa” spa is a sanctuary for the senses. As we seated ourselves, they presented us with the various massage oil options which included 4 elements: earth, water, air and fire. They all had a unique scent which evoked various healing properties. Our 60-minute massage flew by. The masseuses were extremely professional and applied the right amount of pressure which made for an excellent treatment. It was so relaxing, I fell asleep even though I tried my level best to stay awake throughout the treatment.
Private Dining by the Beach – We opted for their private dining experience by the beach. The hotel staff decorated a wonderful table which was a perfect setting for a romantic, dreamy sunset celebratory dinner. Some of the food options included a pumpkin soup, tuna tartar, grilled seabass and mango sticky rice for dessert. Each dish was very well made and tasty. We especially enjoyed their grilled sea bass which was very fresh and the mango sticky rice! When in Thailand, the mango sticky rice is not to be missed.
Breakfast – The H-Bistro Restaurant features large open doors (and windows) facing the beachfront making this venue a perfect spot to start the day. The buffet breakfast had a great variety of both international and local dishes. We appreciated their egg menu which shows some level of invention especially their Florentina eggs featuring perfectly poached eggs, a hollandaise sauce, brown bread, crab stick, avocado and prawn.
Thank you
