Stayed here after a few nights in the north of the island at Napasai. If we had just come here it would have been great but I'm afraid it's not a patch on Napasai. That's not saying the Renaissance isn't good because it is. Nice comy rooms and great service. BIG WARNING though - we couldn't swim in the sea... more

WE picked here for our honeymoon after months of searching and deciding. We stayed in Villa 106 which is a sea facing Villa and it was amazing. Really private no one could see in and as it was raised we looked down onto the beach and no one could see up. The pool was bigger than we expected and the... more

I and my husband just returned from Renaissance and we stayed there 23-29 april,2008 in Beach Front Villa. Well, first thing that everybody needs to know-it it absolutely not possible to sweem in the sea! Before booking this hotel, i wrote an e mail to the hotel chane manager askig if it is poss to sweam in the see, the... more

Although we stayed at the Buriraya (that was what the Renaissance was called before) back in 2005, I felt I needed to share our fantastic experience. My boyfriend and I were deciding on a short getaway and did some research online. Through a travel agent's website, we found the Buriraya and had a look at some of their photos. Needless... more

Faultless service, fantastic food. A little quiet in the evenings, but with Lamai and Chaweng a 10 minute cap ride away there's plenty of choice, and believe me it's nice not to be in these towns all your stay!, the Renaissance is beautifully located.. A real tropical paradise, lush gardens, stunning pool, heaven. The only downside is when the tide... more

The Renaissance Koh Samui was a gorgeous resort with excellent service and very good restaurants. The infinity pool and beach area were very nice, and the modern-Asian-inspired room was perfect and comfortable. Only a few minor downsides - the resort had many families, and the pool was full of young kids. The food (while awesome) was a little expensive. And... more

Marvelous hotel, the best service I've ever had and nice weather.... Their culture is a bit different then in Europe ;-) Maitenance of the hotel is the best I have ever seen. I felt really great there more

This was our second stay at this hotel and we won't be returning. We had asked for the same villa months in advance, and had it confirmed on e mail. On arrival we didn't get offered the customary cold towels and were told when handed our key that someone else was in the villa we had requested (as it is... more

This beautiful resort is near-ideal for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. We stayed for a week and were extremely reluctant to leave. It is an oasis of peace and beauty, contrasting sharply with the eyesore towns of Lamai and Chaweng nearby. The resort is near the end of a dead-end road with very little traffic. Our drive from the airport... more
