데바 비치 리조트 사무이

We stayed at the Deva resort for 8 nights over Christmas. Throughout the stay the staff were helpful, kind and pleasant. However, we did encounter some issues with the hotel general running off the hotel. The hotel claims it has a pool bar, beach bar and restaurant. In reality there is only one bar. There is a second bar (DIB) but it seems like they don't want this place to succeed. It constantly looks closed and even though they say their Happy Hour is 11-midnight, we asked for a drink at 10.30 only to be told they had already called last orders. The lights and TVs are usually turned off and furniture coveted up. When we did eat there the food was wonderful! It's a shame they don't make more effort here. The hotel also no longer has a spa. Instead they refer you to outside massage parlours. The pool, which we had room access to, was freezing, almost unusable on some days. The hotel location is also very remote, a taxi to the closest place will cost at least 300baht, and with this hotel being the only local place for good food and drinks, they'll make sure you pay for it, the hotel info also says that they provide a free shuttle, which they do not. Overall, the hotel is actually beautiful, the staff are wonderful but this hotel has so much potential and the management could do so much more.

Once again, stayed in a Grand Deluxe room. Very comfortable bedding and clean room. The breakfast buffet is one of the best on the island. The downside to the place, is the renovating that is going on around the buildings. And personally I think they left their run a bit late. The place is slowly falling down around their ears.

Have stayed here many times. Very comfortable bedding (Grand Deluxe), with a pretty good buffet style breakfast. Currently undergoing some building maintenance, but not overly noisy or distracting. A little far from shopping and the likes, but the hotel itself is pretty good. Reception speak very good english.

Beautiful resort! The food at the restaurant whether it was lunch or breakfast was always fresh and delicious. The staff was helpful and kind. Good shuttle service to Fisherman's Village and Choengmon Beach. Relaxed by the infinity pool, which is lovely. The swimming at this particular beach is just OK compared to some others. We have been back here twice and recommend it to all of our friends.

Was disappointed with the building that we were booked into, as it is slowing falling apart and was a slightly different layout to the same room (grand deluxe pool access) in the other buildings. Maintenance is not high on their agenda. The breakfast buffet layout is very good compared to other high end hotels. Lashings of bacon!!!
