Menkoe 2008-05-16 until 2008-05-21	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach very nice small 4 star hotel on Samui s probably last quiet beach. We enjoyed our stay in one of the pool villas tremendously, the villas are modern and clean and the private pool just big enough for a late night dip â€“ standard in the villas: big LCD screen, DVD player and a shower from starship enterprise? The reservation staff where extremely friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is slightly overpriced but ok . Breakfast was unfortunately a let down; we would have preferred a small buffet. No jet skies or hawkers to be seen on this long beach . â€“ Rent a scooter and Nathon is a mere 5 minutes away.	fast and efficient

CHRISTIAN MITATY 2008-05-15 until 2008-05-23	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach The Kanok Buri Resort in Koh-Samui is a perfect place to rest: beautifully appointed and very clean room (we had a pool villa for 8 nights) with a good bed if you like a firm matress like we do,nice indoor/outdoor restaurant(and a choice of 5 different breakfasts,good enough to our standards,despite some other negative comments),very kind and helpful service (special thanks to Ms Kung!), manicured lush tropical garden, beautiful and clean beach, new fitness room with A/C(just on the other side of the road), beach towels galore (not displayed on the hotel s website)and free internet access (not insuite).Note that the location is 45 mns drive from the airport and Cheweng or Bo-Phut(but we were looking for a remote place,so no bad surprise for us),but you can rent unexpensive scooters from the reception to wander around easily. Among the small improvements at the restaurant,we would have appreciated to have more details about food or cocktails to avoid to eat or drink the same things everyday(personnel is not very trained to explain, though very kindly),more different fruit would be have been welcome(watermelon and pinapple are enough for a couple of times, and mangos or rambutans are available on every market at the season(we unsuccessfully have asked several times).These are small details as the Kanok Buri Resort remains a very good choice if you are looking for a human-scale and luxurious resort away from the Ibiza-style ambience and a very corteous staff. Our only regret was not to have tried a massage under the sala facing the sea (something we will try next time for sure!).	reliable, informative, in one word excellent !
Susana Goncalves 2008-03-13 until 2008-03-22	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach Kanok Buri Resort is a marvellous place, the beach is good and the staff only desire to make us feel welcome was authentic and made us indeed feel special. A unique place to spend with your significant other, away from all. I d definitely recommended to my friends.	booking service worked perfectly, specialy considering our date changes requests
NICOLA 2008-01-04 until 2008-01-11	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach beautiful & very clean premises. extremely friendly staff & the beach is one of the nicest quiestest small beaches we have been to in thailand. would highly recommend this resort for ultimate relaxation time out with the most amazing sunsets. great restaurant next door named big johns .
Makiko Shinohara 2007-12-01 until 2007-12-03	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach My husband and I were there in the beginning of December, The hotel was an ideal place to wind down and relax. The staff are very friendly, The room (garden view cottage) was clean, comfortable and nicely designed. However, The bathtub and Shower unit in our room could have been bigger. The Beach in front of the hotel was beautiful, quiet and clean. The food was also very good. We would definitly reccomend this resort and the beach!!
SERENA BRUGNOLI 2007-08-25 until 2007-09-02	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach This was our fouth trip to Thailand and second year on Samui, having already sightseeen all the main beaches . We chose this resort mainly because small, on a nice calm beach far from the crowds and chaos of Chaweng and Lamai. ROOM : we booked a seaview room in the main building . The room was nice and comfortable but very noisy owing to heavy trucks and cars traffic running on the road alongside the hotel starting from 5 a.m., where no walls shield the rooms from the road. SERVICE : very gentle and smiling in general but very lazy and ineffective at the restaurant, with a too poor English . RESTAURANT : this is probably one of the weakest points at Kanok Buri. Seen the miserable breakfast we had the first morning we did not want to try a dinner. These were the worst breakfasts we had in Thailand obviously compared to the Resort rating and price paid : no buffet, but this is not the point. We love tropical fruits so we ordered some fresh fruits : we got a miserable tea saucepan with six tiny bites of pinapple and watermelon and dragon fruit. Every morning the same 3 kind of fruits, no variation.Toast was made of old bread and eggs were not fresh . Everything was very low quality and not fresh. This for us is a very bad point because one of the holiday s pleasures is to have a long rich breakfast English style not having to run to work. BEACH : Lipa Noi is still an unspoilt pristine beach with a magnificent view of islets in front : very few people, no skijets and chaos,safe swimming,no bars and clubs a fishermen s village on one end.But do not expect cristalline emerald waters : they are ok, with a nice color but no longer cristalline or emerald , but this is everywhere in Samui.Many broken glasses ! LOCATION : you have to be very independent and either rent a vehicle or make an agreement with a taxi from Nathon , because Kanok Buri is very isolated , no restaurants nearby apart from Big John and no shopping of any kind possible. Nathon is only 5/6 km away and there you have very fresh fish and lots of shopping at very good prices. CONCLUSION : we believe that Kanok Buri is rather overpriced and badly managed, they should lower the prices by at least a 30% to make it worth while. An Italian couple.	With had a second positive experience with Sawadee ,everything went very efficiently.
Mr. Sun He 2007-08-24 until 2007-08-25	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach We come from China, stayed in Kanok hotel Sweet Seaview Room with my wife for wedding anniversary. The room is definitely clean, lovely and comfortable, a bathtub is set on the balcony, sure with a beautiful garden and sea view. Bathroom also big and breezy. Staffs are enthusiastically and helpful, we are warmly welcomed by receptonist miss Kung, I don t know if I spell her name right, but impressed by her smile. We even rent a motorbike from hotel and price is reasonable. Must stay in hotel during 6-7 pm, on the west side beach, we enjoyyed the stunning sunset view and took many pictures back. No many activities around the hotel, only a seafood restaurant called Big John by the left side of hotel, seafood is good!But if ride motorbike for 15 minutes to Nathon pier you can eat many delicious street food, must try the chick rice!!	Very efficient.
Lorna Coombes 2007-07-30 until 2007-08-01	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach Well, what can I say. The hotel and staff are wonderful. Possibly the quietest hotel I ve ever stayed in but this was just perfect for our pre-wedding nights and honeymoon (married next door in Faraway Villa which was also fantastic). The rooms are immaculate and very well presented. It s quite pricey in comparison to other hotels but for a special occasion is just perfect - especially a honeymoon or similar. The hotel is on the quieter side of the island so not much to do in the evenings - recommend hiring a hire to get out and about once and while. Big John s seafood next door is scrummy also!!	fine
Abdul F 2007-07-23 until 2007-07-26	Kanok Buri Resort, Lipa Noi Beach The hotel is nice and their staff are very helpful and polite. They went of their way to help us and make things as easy as possible. The only thing that I was dissatisfied was not being able to use the Jacuzzi as yellow color water was coming out of it, they tried to fix it however it was never better.	Fast and easy. In conclusion, itâ€™s perfect.
