The bungalows we booked looked out into the sea. The view was lovely and the area peaceful and quiet- yes there is a road running in front of the bungalows but it was fairly quiet and was not a problem for us. Mark and Minnie were great hosts and it was enjoyable spending time with them at the bar/restaurant. There isn’t much around the immediate area- thats what we liked- but you can walk to the port and the 7/11 in 5-10 minutes and then it’s just a little further into the main shopping/bar area. We walked the other way to a lovely seafood restaurant on a pier and had a delicious meal. You can also hire mopeds if you would like to see the rest of the island. We stayed 3nights here and 3nights on a bigger resort on the other side of the island and the mix of both was perfect… even though we didn’t want to leave Minnie sea view.

The location and the vibe

Lots of bits of glass in sea washed up on beach but ok as just wore flip flops when going in .

The peaceful, calm , laid back relaxed feeling the resort has - simple but everything you need . Walk across road to beach and able to get to all parts of the island easily using taxis that passed regularly . Breakfast was lovely . It was so good we booked a 3 rd night whilst there !

there is a small road running between the bungalows and the beach, which you have to cross. Generally very quiet but the occasional scooter whizzes by.

Great cute hotel at the seaside, spacious clean rooms with comfy beds. The restaurant and bar provides nice food and drink and you can rent a scooter to explore the island (can be done in 1 day, beach hopping). Its just 10 min walk from the pier and crowded area, so you get access to the restaurants and shops.

The simple chalet type accommodation is clean, comfortable and with air conditioning. The verandah is pleasant to sit on with a chair and table to watch the world go by, giving the feeling of being in a Thai village rather than a bubble resort. The small private beach across the road is kept clean and tidy and is very quiet with lovely views to the hills of the mainland and boat activity on the water. Quality Thai and Western food is available at the bar and can be enjoyed on the beach or on your verandah. The owners Mark and Minnie are on hand and with Mark being originally from the UK and Minnie being Thai, it makes for a very easy stay for English speakers, we learnt a lot about Koh Samet. The pier and village centre are within easy walking distance.

Didn't like the main road running right past the rooms , lots of traffic. The water pressure was very poor could hardly shower , toilet had to be flushed 2-3 times , beds are extremely uncomfortable

The beach was nice , good smoothies and food at the bar , very close to the beach

Stayed in March 2024

Some noise from road passing through but didn't bother us too much.

Amazing location just a few steps from the beach, the room was spacious and very clean. The beach/bar area was beautiful and well maintained. Minnie was helpful in booking us a boat trip and allowing us to rent a scooter during our stay.

TV reception was poor. But we didn't need it. Some noise of passing traffic as the room are located at the main road.

Nice view from our room. Direct view of the sea. But unfortunately not really a location to perform a swim. Great to have breakfast on the beach.

Leaving!. It was a lovely place to visit. Warm Welcome and great food

Marks customer service was excellent and his breakfast was great. Noi was the queen of the smoothies and always smiling.

Could have had side lamps in the room. Wish it was plastic water bottle free.

Nice place basic but good. Lovely beach and seating areas with table and chairs, and loungers, short walk to the main part of the Island with places to eat and drink.

Some furniture is a bit old but good and comfortable enough

The beach is very nice. Quiet and beautiful

Stayed in November 2023

So many lizards in the balcony, average 10-15 though I can't complain because it's a national park so you can ignore this but the private beach area stole the show .

The beach view cottage was just amazing ,would highly recommend and even the restaurant food was good .

Minnie and Mark are great, the rooms the rooms are spacious and virtually on the beach. Minnie Seaview is great if you have young children as its a very family friendly resort and plenty of shade for the kids to play under.

I think it was all great!

The food was yummy and reasonably priced. My villa faced the sea and although on a small road it was no bother for me I quite enjoyed people watching as people went by. Bed was comfy. Cute dogs 🐕 location was great 15min walk to town. Staff very friendly and spoke good English! A lady came each morning collecting sharp objects off the beach so the beach was always safe to walk on. This beach I feel is the best most quiet one. I was one of few people the whole time and I came to relax and not be bothered so it was perfect for me. The sea was clear and calm. I walked to the other beaches and they had waves and people galore so I was very pleased with my choice. For the price I cant complain it had everything I needed I did not go in expecting the ritz! :) would defo stay again.

Due to the weather there were a lot of sand flees so not very comfortable to stay on the beach for a long time. Location is nice and quiet and non touristy but that said needed transportation (or same walk every time) to find some excitement.

The location of the bungalow was nice: quiet and with indeed a sea view. The room itself was spacious, clean with free water/thee/coffee every day. The owner was very friendly and helpful with e.g. arranging a last minute motorbike. Bed was comfy. Walking distance from the ferry.

Not very informative for telling you how to get around, but did answer all questions asked.

Nice accomodation, clean, good AC. Walking distance from the pier, or get a very cheap taxi, can walk from there to most places on the island.
