Full Review

Scene

Lively oceanfront hotel with a popular beach club and chic modern style

The entrance to The Residences is located off a
quiet residential street. The bright if somewhat boring lobby is arguably
the least impressive common space in the hotel. The sprawling grounds,
connecting the main building with stand-alone villas, are lush, filled with
palm trees and tropical flowers. Activity at the hotel centers around the two
oceanfront pools, adjacent open-air restaurant, and beach club; a DJ spins
chilled-out tunes by the pool in the afternoon, while the scene at the beach
club borders on a party atmosphere during the high season.

Location

On the shores of Koh Samui, 10 minutes north of Lamai Beach

A 10-minute drive north along the coast
from renowned Lamai Beach, The Residences is a bit away from the area's main
action, but the hotel has its own scenic Koh Samui beach that guests can take
advantage of. And the attractions of Lamai are just a free shuttle or
hotel-arranged car ride away. The immediate neighborhood is more residential,
but there are a handful of local eateries within walking distance. In Lamai
town, in addition to the beach, nightlife, and restaurants, there are grocery
stores where you can stock up on food for guest room kitchens. The hotel can also help
arrange excursions to local temples, other beaches, and golf courses like Royal
Samui Golf & Country Club. Samui International Airport is a 20-minute drive north, and
The Residences can provide transportation upon request.

Rooms

Spacious, modern suites and villas with outfitted kitchens and private balconies

Most
rooms at The Residences are sleek and modern, with platform-style beds, natural
wood and neutral-toned furniture, white tiled floors, and fresh flowers. All
have fully equipped kitchenettes -- complete with outfitted fridges and bars --
and private balconies with sitting areas. Villas feel like private residences
-- some are stand-alone -- with multiple private terraces and pools as
well as spacious living and dining areas. Bathrooms are similarly spacious and
modern, and all but the lowest-tier rooms have whirlpool tubs in addition to
showers. Traditional Pool Villas are decorated in an older style and feel
less modern than other spaces, with dark-wood furnishings, terra-cotta tile
floors, and purple sofas. All rooms have iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers,
bathrobes and slippers, and more.

Features

Luxury beach-resort amenities, including a beach club, two pools, and a spa

The
Residences' prized feature is its lively Ocean Club, spread along its small but
scenic stretch of sand. A club-like atmosphere is created at times with plenty
of loungers and cabanas, a beach bar, music, and non-resident partygoers
frequenting the property. In addition to the private beach, the hotel has
two oceanfront pools with a hot tub and lots of plush loungers where drinks and
snacks can be ordered. The open-air restaurant -- serving pricey Mediterranean and
Thai food throughout the day, including a free daily buffet breakfast -- has
both outdoor and covered seating and ocean views. it's a popular spot with guests and locals for Sunday brunch. The property also has a spa with
a full menu of Asian-inspired treatments and a steam room, as well as a small
fitness center and business center. Families can easily be catered to with
babysitting services available upon request. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
