Beautiful resort with beautiful staff.
Amazing location with own beach , beautiful setting in amongst the trees and the staff were absolutely lovely . Mark the manager and his team were so friendly and helpful. Happy to recommend this Hotel it was fabulous
The resort is amazing with an attention to detail we have never experienced. We would like to thank all staff for their kindness and professionalism. They made us feel welcome and special from the first second we stepped in. The rooms are spacious, clean and luxurious. The facilities such as the pools, sporting equipment and spa are superb and modern. Free yoga classes, meditation and walks are available to all guests. The private beach makes it so special. The hotel is approx 1.5 km from the public beach with some restaurants. This is reachable by foot but the hotel also provides a free shuttle bus twice a day. The breakfast has a great choice of food from all over the world. The restaurant on the beach is open all day and offers a good choice for a light lunch and for dinner. We haven’t tried the other two restaurants of the hotel but they look as good. We were looking at a week relaxing on the beach after having visited Bangkok and Chiang Mai and we are extremely happy to have chosen the Garrya hotel. We thoroughly recommend it. In particular we would like to mention Kookik who has made us feel so special every day!
Garrya Tongsai Samui is such a fabulous place to stay! From the moment we arrived, the staff were so friendly and helpful and attentive. We had 2 beachfront villas for 5 of us. The rooms were absolutely beautiful. So much space, immaculately clean with such comfortable beds. The swimming pool was huge and spotlessly clean. The beach was beautiful, so peaceful. There were paddle boards, kayaks and 2 small catamarans for anyone to use. The staff at the pool were so helpful! Breakfast was AMAZING! The food at Fish Tales was delicious! There are steep steps up to breakfast but if you can’t manage them or don’t want to walk up, any of the staff will ring for a buggy to collect you! Very efficient! None of us can think of anything negative to say! We will definitely be back! Thank you to Mark, the hotel manager and all of the staff for a really special few days.
9 days of perfection. Our 3 generation family holiday was unforgettable for all. The logistics to organise time was hard as was the time spent searching for something that would appeal to all. Luckily we chose Garrya Tongsai it suited all our requirements, three separate rooms across the resort gave us space if required. Those who hadn't been to Koh Samui before visited sights around the Island easily organised through the front desk. We as the grand parents were happy to stay at the resort with as much to do or as little to do depending on the day. Breakfast was amazing with so much to choose from. The staff there were incredible after the first morning they all knew our names and preference of table. Lunch was generally at the pool bar then back in for a swim either the private beach, big general pool or the adult Half Moon pool generally with a cocktail or beer delivered ( Mai Tai was a favourite) we had the Tongsai seaview pool villa with its own pool perfect. Dinner there were entertainment options if you like we did them all and throughly enjoyed them but there are other restaurants if you want. Fish Tales, Rhoy Rhoy and Evol all offer something different , with options to go outside the resort if you like.
Besides the Location, the Facilities, the food, the rooms, the staff are the high point of this resort, warm smiles ability to communicate well and a willingness to please. There are too many to name and I feel I would do someone a disservice if I didn't mention their name. Hopefully Manual Lang General Manager and Mark Harrison Hotel Manger ( who are not just the names on the bottom of letterheads but have faces, wander through the resort happy to communicate with all ) can pass on to the staff a well done.
The Grand Kids loved the Kids Club on the occasions they went. Yes there are a few stairs about but just call a buggy if you want. The rooms are well air-conditioned. There are plenty of sun lounges around the pools serviced with towels and cold water One Family member used the Gym and was happy . The resort is big enough not to feel crowded at any time. Would we return Hell Yes but longer. I can understand why they have so many return guests.
