Travel reviews for Samui Pureshores The Beach Villas
Date of stay: Jan 01, 2009
Accommodation and facilities:
I spent two nights (December 26th and 27th) at the Samui Pureshores Villa in Koh Samui with my wife and mother in law.
Although, upon arrival, we were disappoitned to find the view from our villa to be a newly developed construction site, Paul, the manager, made us feel comfortable immediately and expressed that he would be happy to help us find different accommodation should we choose.
It so happens that our luggage had been lost, and Paul went way over and above our expectations to help us track it down.
The villa itself is beautiful and clean and although there is a beach front only 50m away, it was not as large or nice as we would have expected on the shores of Koh Samui.
The main drag (Chaweng)is a short distance away, although could get pricey in cab fares if you go frequently.
Perhaps this is best suited to those who do not want to be in the middle of the action, but can access it easily if they choose.
I can not say enough about the hospitality of Paul and his family, as they are incredibly friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and sincere.
Although not for us on this occassion,I am sure it would prove to be the ideal getaway for many people.
Thanks Again Paul!

Accommodation and facilities:
From our point of view, Samui Pureshores was the PERFECT place for our family vacation. Location: spactacular view of Big Buddha/sunsets over the water/hills; short drive to several beaches, and a relaxing walk to our favorite beach (Choeng Mon); shopping/services, restaurants, temple within a short walk. Accomodations/on-site conveniences: impeccably maintained villa; a pool that tempts you to just hang out swimming and enjoying the sea view all day; wireless internet; food/drinks at beach bar. Friendly/Relaxing Atmosphere: Paul and Anna made us feel right at home; personalized advice/help to arrange activities; wide open welcome to join-in as friends gather for drinks/games at the beach bar; very nice dogs, especially Bruno. My wife, two children and I are unanimous in our opinion: our vacation at Samui Pureshores was GREAT!

Accommodation and facilities:
We had the most fantastic time at Pureshores, it was like going to Samui 15 years ago totally chilled out with a really nice atmosphere. The house was lovely (very tasteful and luxurious), great beach bar and pool. The location was also perfect for us, the very busy town of Chewang and the great choice of restaurants and bars in Bophut are both less than 10 mins drive away. There are also some amazing beach less than 5mins away. What really made this holiday extra special was the owners Paul & Anna.... nothing was to much trouble, the service was great and we were made very welcome. We will definitely be coming back, 10 out of 10 guys.

Accommodation and facilities:
We had a wonderful stay and this even straight after monsoon rains caused some damage just before our arrival. It will be some time before the resort will be totally completed but the construction is not intrusive at all. The managers (Paul & Anna) is going the extra mile to make your stay really pleasant and memorable! Thank you!
Reservation service:
Easy to use but the special wasnt automatically activated and had to be done as a correction afterward.

Location
& Map
Big Buddha beach, runs across the west coast of the northern tip of
the island. It is named after the giant golden Buddha statue which dominates
the landscape and is the most famous landmark in Thailand. With no Hotels
and only private residences it is one of the last remaining unspoilt beaches
on the island, yet it is still only 5 minutes drive from the airport and
the bustling town of Chaweng.
The Pureshores development is situated
just 40 metres from the beach. The land has private beach access and is
rich in coconut trees, palms and plant life. The small village of Ban Plai
Laem offers a wide range of local amenities, whilst the neighboring towns
of Ban Rak and Bophut provides an impressive selection of restaurants, bars
and spas.
