P10 Samui Design

Points for creativity, lacking in privacy

What we say: 3.5 stars

Set in a modern glass building with a bizarre orange winged roof, the new P10 is one of the most unique and noticeable hotels on Ko Samui.

The hotel features 18 identical 90 square metre duplex rooms on either side of an exceptionally long but narrow swimming pool. Opposing rooms face each other from across the pool and are outfitted with full-wall windows in both the downstairs living room and upstairs bedroom, so if the curtains are not drawn, you can literally wave hello to your neighbours on three different sides. When we asked management about this they said "the hotel encourages interaction between its guests" -- fair enough.

Each unit is modern, spotless and comfortable with large corner couches, white walls and tile floors, soft wood furnishings, fridges, coffee makers and flatscreen TVs in the living rooms, and big, soft beds with towels folded into peacocks, desks, safes, modern Thai art and bath robes upstairs. Bathrooms are found on both floors, with an open-air shower en-suite. WiFi and poolside verandas also come standard, as does an outstanding breakfast at nearby Marina Lounge.

P10's other interesting amenity is a smart phone app for either iPhone or Android that acts as a local guide to the area, walks guests through the in-room facilities, allows direct contact with reservations, reception, management, security, a taxi service and other guests, and best of all, offers discounts at restaurants and bars in the area.

Due to the pool right out front and an open-sided staircase between floors, P10 is not the best choice for those with young children, but it could be a memorable place to stay for those seeking something different and perhaps to meet other well-heeled holiday makers.
