“We were able to arrange a free transfer from Naban pier on Koh Larn to the resort at short notice, which was much appreciated. Xanadu Beach resort looks a little run down in general, and our room was relatively basic/minimalist. There was a small bar fridge, and a complimentary bottle of water was provided daily (just as well, as the tap water comes from an artisan bore, and tastes like it...). The bathroom was rather dated, and very colourful (with different colour tiles on each wall) but did have a glass shower frame and hot/cold water. The air conditioner worked well, but the curtains were not block out. The resort is quite large and consists of double storey rows of units. We were located on the ground floor, but this still required us to negotiate a flight of stairs to reach it, with a common verandah/walkway at the the front, and a small private balcony at the rear. There are no lifts. We had breakfast included, which consisted of a choice of either American, Thai or a Chinese set breakfast. The dining area looks over the beach and was an amazing spot to dine and relax. There were also sun lounges located on the beach that were free to use for guests, as were beach towels.
Next door to the resort were several other businesses that catered for the daily visitors, renting out sun lounges and providing food/drinks. As we visited during the low season (late May) there not many visitors, but that also meant that the restaurants on the beach closed about 5pm (last ferry leaves the island at 6pm) so you had to eat there early, or chose to eat later at the resort. Samae Beach was however relatively undeveloped, particularly in contrast to the many high rise buildings in Pattaya, which we found very relaxing, and the water is a great temperature! There was a ring of floats around the beach, around 100 metres out in the water, so that the beach is very safe even for those on floats or boards.”
“The place was amazing from the greeting at the pier with golf cart to take us to the resort, to the welcome drinks, the staff went truely above and beyond for us, the pool villa was amazing would recommend this place to anyone”
“Perfect location, value for money. What we really liked about this place was the exceptional customer service. We had a small problem with our room and told the lady at reception, she was understanding and kind and fixed the problem with professionalism! We would definitely return in the future because of this! Thank you 🙏”
