DK Eyewitness "The Thai-style villas here are luxurious but not over the top. There is an infinity pool on the beach, but each villa has its own private plunge pool."

Jetsetter "All-villa tropical hideaway on Koh Samui's northern shore with a beach restaurant and a 24-hour infinity pool." Full review
Star Service "This former plantation isle now has almost more acreage sown in luxury hotel accommodations and private multimillion-dollar villas than in coconut palms." Full review
Fodor's "The name means "clear sky," and if you book a beachfront room you can enjoy the view of both the sky and the sea from your outdoor terrace, from inside your room, or even from your bathtub." Full review

"Set in immaculate gardens alongside a beautiful bay in a tranquil corner of Koh Samui, the Belmond Napasai's superlative location will instantly make you forget the outside world." Full review
Frommer's "Though isolated, it is gorgeously self-contained. A top spa and good in-house dining make it a plum choice for well-heeled romantics." Full review

Jetsetter "It’s not often that this travel writer gets picked up at the airport by a Mercedes. But it was my first indication of the impressive details that set Banyan Tree Samui apart." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The party-happy sands of Chaweng are just over the ridgeline to the north of Banyan Tree’s private, palm-lined bay, part of a hidden valley on the eastern shore of Koh Samui." Full review
Star Service "Built on a steep hill, like the superior Four Seasons, this resort sprawls its villas down the slope toward the waterfront with exceptional views along the way." Full review

Ask for units 1 through 4 in this category, even though the staff is shy about providing the resort map and promising certain villas.
Rough Guide "Occupying a steep-sided, landscaped valley, with towering views of Chaweng from the lobby bar, Banyan Tree provides the height of luxury in its beautiful, stilted pool villas."
OysterLuxury
"The 88-villa Banyan Tree Samui is an intimate, ultra-luxury property that draws those seeking an exclusive taste of the high life." Full review

However, those wishing to explore the island can request free shuttle service to nearby towns.
