Just returned from a two week stay at the Outrigger Beach Resort in Koh Samui, Thailand to celebrate my partner’s 50th birthday, and we had a lovely time. Our room was perfect—spacious, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. The hotel has a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, and the pool area facing the beach in particular was beautiful and a great place to unwind. All the staff, from the maids and gardeners to the security team and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. A special mention to Feen for always greeting us with a smile, and the breakfast team who went above and beyond to make my partner’s birthday memorable. Presenting him with pancakes and a candle in the morning was bery thoughtful. We were also delighted to find a creative “birthday cake” made from towels in our room, followed later by a real cake and a card - a lovely surprise. Thank you to everyone at the hotel. We truly appreciated the effort and had a wonderful stay.

“Excellent option”

Great choice.we had a Club Lamai Suite which was massive and well furnished. Half board with the club lounge access is the way to go.

Great choice.we had a Club Lamai Suite which was massive and well furnished. Half board with the club lounge access is the way to go. Club lounge offered soft drinks all day, afternoon tea and evening hot snacks and cocktails/alcohol. Half board gave us 2 courses at the Edgewater grill each night-loads of choice and good quality. Big pool complex across the road was relaxing and the beach was fine, although we avoided the sea by the hotel. Smaller pool by the breakfast area was nice and quiet. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Gym was limited. Laser tag good fun for all the family. Used Kohsamui tours for our transfers - 650 THB each way for a minivan which was good value. Loved the free snacks and drinks at Koh Samui airport too!

“Just perfect”

Wow what a beautiful hotel, we stayed at the outrigger for 9 days it was our first visit to Koh samui as a family with a 10 and 14 yr old children.

Wow what a beautiful hotel, we stayed at the outrigger for 9 days it was our first visit to Koh samui as a family with a 10 and 14 yr old children. This hotel is stunning with a colonial look, the hotel and grounds are immaculate and staff are so lovely. The main pool and beach area is accessible over a main road which has a maned crossing 24 hours, these men do a great job getting the traffic to stop so guests can cross as in Thailand zebra crossing don’t seem to have the same meaning as in the uk! There is one main pool, an infinity pool also a shallow pool for little ones and a slide which was a great hit with my 10 year old . Always Sunbed’s available so no need to reserve, we ate at the pool /restaurant a few times at lunch and dinner and the food is excellent and reasonably priced. The only one thing I noticed was due to spilt drinks left by hotel guests the previous day seemed to be ants near some of the beds and also on the sandy area where there are beds too that we used, maybe a hose down at night would clear this problem with the residue left from the day before. The beach area is not the best by the hotel there is seaweed that the hotel workers do clear away daily by burying it in the sand but to access the sea by the hotel is quite rocky to enter, further down Lamai beach is clearer and you can rent Sunbed’s down there too. We stayed in connecting superior room which had so much room and a balcony off both rooms, lovely and modern with a fridge that is stocked daily with water. Great storage space in both rooms. We were bed and breakfast and the choice at breakfast was outstanding, beautifully displayed too. The kids loved the games room with a pool table, air hockey and ping pong. My 10 yr old enjoyed using the kids club where she tie dyed a T-shirt and did other wonderful activities with the lovely staff. We were at the hotel for Easter Sunday and the activities that was put on for the younger guests were wonderful and very thought out , for 150 baht you could choose a Easter bag to decorate for the egg hunt , also lots of pool games and a piñata filled with sweets my daughter absolutely loved this and the staff did an amazing job as it was very busy at the pool that day as I think most of the hotel guests attended. The location of outrigger is perfect, we would walk into Lamai in 20 mins and a footpath the whole way. You can walk along the beach which we did in the day but not at night as parts not well lit. Lots of restaurants nearby and 7/11 either side of the hotel. We used grab taxis when we needed to travel further out of Lamai they are always available straight away and cheaper than taxis. I would definitely stay at this hotel again , thank you for a wonderful stay!

“Stunning hotel which is very family friendly”

This is a very special hotel - the hotel building itself is stunning and very unique. We stayed in one of the executive bedrooms which was huge and had plenty of space for us as a family of 3. We had a king size bed and our daughter had her own area in the living room. The design is well thought out with plenty of storage space. On arrival, you receive a lovely welcome and the porters are so helpful. We had access to the Voyager lounge for drinks and snacks which is a beautiful room and very relaxing to escape the sun for a bit. To Edgewater pool (most popular pool) is over the road but easy to access as they have people to help you cross the road which can be busy. This beach and pool area had lots of choices of pools which are all connected and close together so it makes it easy to try all of them. Our daughter loved the small water slide. We never had an issue getting a sunbed and fresh towels are given to you. There is happy hour each day from 5pm which was great and free water sports - paddle boarding and kayaking. The beach area isn’t the best but that isn’t the fault of the resort - it’s just the water visibility isn’t great but they do their best and if you walk a little up the beach it’s better. This is a short walk from Lamai and all the action. The kids club is fantastic and lots of activities on and clean and well kept. Our daughter loved it! They made a real effort to make Easter special. The thing that stood out for me is the hotel team - they were so friendly and welcoming - in particular to Peter (chef), Aliss (kids club), Bee (reception) , Feen (restaurant and edgewater) , Mulan and Joe and our room cleaner who was excellent. This was a beautiful hotel which was so child friendly and I would definately recommend this to families.
