Family run, small, select and peaceful, yet only steps away from excellent restaurants, bars and boutiques.All rooms are beachfront and the view of the sea and outlying islands is spectacular. Many guests extend their stay, recommend us to others or return themselves, often to meet other guests who have now become friends. Its like coming home, they say. Lots of little touches to make you feel welcome including free pick-up and free internet. more » « less

Like many other people we were drawn to The Waterfront by Trip Advisor reviews. We have been travelling through Asia for many months and usually find Trip Advisor fairly accurate, however I am still at a loss to work out why this place is so popular. Firstly the good stuff. It is very clean, efficiently run and the staff are... more

We stayed here following 4 frenetic days in Bangkok and it was totally the relaxing experience we had hoped for. Unfortuneatly we didn't meet Robin's wife Sue, who was in the UK, but we spoke to Robin every day and had a few beers with him and other guests on several evenings. The information pack in the rooms tells you... more

We have just returned from 5 glorious nights at The Waterfront in Koh Samui. It is hard to explain, but the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is so friendly, and you feel like a long-lost friend. By the end of the first day we were on a first name basis with all the staff. The central pool / bar area was... more

My wife and I stayed at the Waterfront hotel over the Christmas break. My wifes sister recommended the Waterfront and were staying there themselves (before there wedding). We were picked up at the airport and given the tour of Bophut by Robin. We were pleasantly eased into life on the island and when we arrived at the hotel were truly... more

A family run resort owned by a British couple. Sadly we did not meet Robin as he was away but all the emails obviously worked because his son was there to greet us at the airport and take us to this boutique hotel. One could sense that Robin being away had increased pressure on Robin's good lady. Nonetheless nothing was... more

We too were led to this hotel through the ratings on Trip Advisor. The hotel seems to have a great following! There were things we liked and things we didn't. Make your own judgment from there! Here they are: Things we enjoyed: The personal service was great! Robin picked us up from the airport, gave us a tour of the... more

I was looking for an affordable, safe, clean, comfortable resort with great views and good service - and I hit the jackpot with the Waterfront. I was there for 5 nights in April and was very satisfied with my stay. It's not a five star resort, but that wasn't what I was after and was under no illusions after reading... more

We've just spent 14 wonderful nights at The Waterfront on our honeymoon and can't rate it highly enough for the warm welcome we received. It's the small touches that really make this place extra special... like being met at the airport by Robin the owner and his complete tour of Bo Phut, the cold towels around the pool just at... more

We stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon in April 2008. The place is friendly, we were picked up from the airport by the owner, and generally there is a welcoming feel. The village of Bophut is lovely, sleepy and peaceful and great food. The breakfast was great (real espresso!) and the food available to order was yum. Massage... more

We've just spent 9 nights at the Waterfront in Bo Phut - what a fantastic place! Robin is an excellent host, collecting us from the airport and showing us round the village first, he really makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. You're greeted with a welcome drink and Robin gives you the low down on the... more
