Samed Pavilion Resort

Ko Samet


A step up from those around it, this handsome boutique resort has elegant, spacious rooms in an upstairs-downstairs configuration tightly set around a sociable pool. It's well geared for families, with beach access and seclusion from the main road. Rates are usually best online, but it offers low season and midweek promotions for direct bookings.
