Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
this place is well situated, but you have to book the best rooms... Beware of the 31st of december diner!! It is really a shame: 3000 bahts each to eat very poor food( not even a prawn or grilled fish and just 1 glass of nasty australian wine)

Reservation service:
no particular problem

Accommodation and facilities:
Nice location if you want to stay close to downtown but for us very bad experience. Firework and noice from beach (50m) evening and night. Have to pay for internet - very expensive. People working in hotel try to charge you for everyting.

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
The Resort is on the perfect place, in the middle of the main beach, but totally quiet in the evening for sleeping. Directly at the beach, max. 2 min by feet, the beach and the water is very very nice and clean!! the hotel area also very nice, two great pools. I changed the place on Koh Samui a lot until I found Al s Resort, and there i stayed.

Reservation service:
Best Service!!

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
We arrived at Al s resort and had a standard room booked - this room was disgusting with mosquitos everywhere, the drains made the whole room stink. We stayed in this room one night as the hotel was full due to the full moon party - the next day I complained to the manager who was unhelpful and patronising. She upgraded us but made me pay 820BHT for the upgrade. The day we were leaving I asked if I could pay extra to keep the room for longer as we were not flying until 8pm - they said we couldnt but they would give us a room to shower in - I thought this was great until it came to the time and we were shown down a back alley to the staff showers which were tiny, grotty and dirty for the two of us to cram into and shower. Not a good experience for the last 3 days of my holiday. Would not recommend this hotel.

Excellent

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Perfect location at Chaweng beach (which in our opinion is the best place to stay at Samui). Shopping and restaurants just outside the area. Supermarket/grocery store conveniently placed 20 metres away from the hotel reception. Kind and helpful staff. The hotel area and buildings have been upgraded curing the last year and give a nice impression. This time at Al s we stayed in a Courtyard Suite - spacious with one bedroom and a living room, very suitable for a family with 2 kids. A nice swimming pool just outside the door. This is the 3rd time we ve stayed at Al s Resort and if we return to Koh Samui and Chaweng in the future we will defenitely consider staying here again.

Reservation service:
Very smooth, quick response. We have used sawadee.com at many occasions and find this booking service very convenient and reliable.

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Good pool area, really nice staff and good breakfast and perfect location. Beach clean and nice. Room ok (superior) but bathroom worn down and a bit dirty. The warm water smelling a bit nasty the first few minutes of showering. A lot of mosqitos finding their way into the room. Choose a more expensive room type for better standard.

Reservation service:
Worked perfectly!

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
This has been our 2nd visit to Al s resort and we had a great time. The location is fantastic as we had a sea view room right on the beach, absolute bliss! Already miss being there. The only negative is that is seems as though the hotel facilities are deteriorating over time (our last visit was 5 years ago), and the breakfast was not great, but sufficient, but given the cost, it was still great value for money.

Reservation service:
Very efficient, fast and trustworthy service!

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Very handy to the bustle of Chaweng beach, but quiet enough to get away from the crowds. Garden rooms had an odour about them, the bathrooms were disappointing. Our shower rose wouldnt stay in its holder. The bathroom just didnt feel clean, Although the cleaners did make an effort to clean daily [with good tips]. Pool area good. Whole place could do with a freshen up, restaurant included. Staff friendly.

This hotel is great, the rooms are clean and very nice. The crew is lovely!! also they can assist with cheap price of renting a car etc.. Breakfast buffet is nice also, and the location is great, right on the center of the main street. LIKE! Chaweng is a bit dissapointing.. not a nice beach..

Accommodation and facilities:
Picture of hotel on internet, not what it actually is. Room fine, dining room run down, breakfast, absolutely appalling, from cereal to eggs and bacon, not to mention the coffee! Disgusting. The hotel premise is unkempt, bordering on derelict, no kettle in room, i.e. no tea/coffee.

There were mosquitos in the room and the resort after complaining did not do anything about the same. We were told there is mosquito repellent in the room, but even that was chargeable. Will not recommend.

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
这是我这次旅行中定的最贵的一家酒店，但反而是我最失望的一家酒店。可能就是因为靠海的原因，房间小的可怜，而且极其潮湿，晚上睡觉都能感觉到被单和床单上的潮气。卫生间没有窗户，导致房间里湿气更大了。只是因为靠海，早上可以直接穿着泳衣下海，除此之外并无其他可以表演的地方。而且酒店不负责接送，前台的英语也不怎么好。

Reservation service:

Al's Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Horrible hotel. The room was dirty, full of insects. The hotel area is not well maintained. What we saw on photoes does not correspond to reality. The reception lady was rude and not cooperative. We left the hotel in 2 hours since we checked in and still had to pay for 1 night stay. I don t know how people left good reviews about this hotel. Its totally not true! Bad hotel, bad personnel, bad management, waist of our money.

Reservation service:
booking service was good, cooperative to change our hotel, even though, they charged one night stay in Al s resort. We think, sawadee should present true info about this hotel.

Accommodation and facilities:
This has been my sixth visit to Thailand. First to Koh Samui.Ifound the hotel to be poor value for money. Everything, from check in to rooms to food and including service was extremely diappointing.There is a lot to be learnt from the industry in Phuket.Especially treatment of the customer.I experienced intolerance from management and staff.I got the feeling that I was viewed as being ignorant. I WILL reccommend Koh Samui as holiday destination. But I WILL NOT reccommend Al s Resort to my friends and colleagues.I am part of the travel industry, and expected so much more.

Reservation service:
I have read with amazement the wonderful reports of previous clients. This particular agent did OK with this booking. Unfortunately I had a run in with another agent on a dispute about price on Ark Bar resort. This left me with poor views of the service provided. Once again I was made out to be the idiot when the agent clearly manipulated the facts.

What a great stay, happily we made a good choice with Al s Resort. The location couldn t have been more perfect! The Resort itself needed a little TLC and the shower and toilet being together made things interesting...The supermarket at the entrance to the resort is a huge help and you can buy almost anything there at a very reasonable price (food, sunscreen, sodas, drinks etc). We used the spa at the resort too, great service and at a good rate. The jet skis for hire on the beach are real value for money. The ladies who sell fresh fruit and corn on the cob are certainly welcome, their produce are always fresh and delicious. Overall a great value for money resort.

Our first stay at Chaweng Beach and we were quite happy with the Resort. Location is excellent right on the beach and the room was ok size for 2 adults and 2 children. On the flipside there was a bad sewer smell just outside our room and the beach was suffering from oil patches (not the hotels fault...) If you want to go to Chaweng I find Al s Resort quite OK considering value for money.

Stayed one night in seaview room. There was a door connecting our room to the one next door so we could hear everything - their wake up call woke us up too! Staff were good except for beach boy who was not helpful when it came to setting up an umbrella. Breakfast room looks very tired.

Accommodation and facilities:
I stayed in a Deluxe Courtyard Room - very nice room. Spacious and clean. The beach is nice in front of the resort and the pool is nice too, maybe a little small. The breakfast is great, a buffet with lots of choices. Open 6:30 - 10:30am. The other food though is not so good. Our party of 4 ate there once for dinner, and everyone s meal was awful. Good location of the resort, close to the center of everything. Staff is nice and helpful.

Reservation service:
Smooth booking process.

Very good location near the beach but the beach was very rubbish = not clean. The staff should clean it up much better. Tourists will not walk in such rubbish. It could be more sunbeds on the beach.
