Spa Samui Resort

Detox on the beach

What we say:

The Spa Resort is ideal for the budget traveller wanting to detox after too many of Thailand's infamous buckets. Quaint A-frame bungalows surround the pool and overlook the beach, and rooms are also available in the main building. Although the rooms are simple, they are clean and equipped with air-con and WiFi. Accommodation is not the main focus here, but rather the facilities and treatments available. A spa offers herbal wraps, a herbal steam room, various massages and facials. Classes such as yoga and Reiki as well as meditation classes at the local temple are on offer. The onsite Radiance Restaurant is known for its vegetarian and raw food, and the vast menu serves several weight loss, detox and raw food options as well as meat dishes for the carnivores who can't do without it. Menu prices are extremely reasonable and raw food cooking classes are on offer. A shop sells health food and products as well as funky yoga wear.

Not for Everyone

And probably not for us either. Most folks come to Spa Beach for a cleansing, but after we decided to opt out of the fasting program, we felt a little out of place here, and, for the record, hanging out with a bunch of folks who aren't eating anything isn't as much fun as you might think. The beach out front is rocky and flat, which means you'll need to walk a good 500 meters for a swim. Plus, and most importantly, even though it is the guests that come here to clean things out, it is the staff that really needs a good enema, as they are overall unfriendly and entirely full of themselves. The staff also does not speak English nearly as well as they think or well as they need to assist guests with the fasting programs, and, as noted above, the support for 1st time fasters isn't what it needs to be. There were positives associated with our stay however. We had one of the old beach hut-style bungalows on the south end of the property, and paid only 500 baht per night for a room with a large bed, hot shower, and lots of space. Best of all was the room safe, which meant that we were free to wander the beach with passports, cash, etc. safely locked up in our room. The restaurant also offers a great range of creative veggie and vegan foods, and although they are a bit pricey, still offer an excellent value for what you get. We also stayed at Spa Village for a few nights. Our 900 baht fan room had a hot shower, TV with very limited channels, room safe, and a small deck, and while not quite the value we got at Spa Beach, it was still good. The water pressure here was the best I've ever seen in Thailand. Both locations also have a good pool for swimming and relaxing, and the free hourly shuttle between the two locations made getting back and forth easy. A few things, like a daily morning meditation program, are offered at no additional charge, but most others, including a 250 baht yoga class, cost extra. In fact, that is our biggest knock against the place - the feeling that apart from the good values for the rooms, services were overpriced, and the emphasis of the Spa seemed to be getting every single baht it could from us.
