Stayed in a suite villa - the lounge room only has a couch and table - nothing else. Couch you could not even sit on because of its design. Towels, both for the bathroom and pool, are disgusting, have holes, are tattered and discoloured. When complaining, ended up with more towels much the same. Lighting in bedrooms not good at... More

Following my poor stay at a 5 star we moved here.I found this much more appealing with it's very nice beach and pool.It seemed more friendly and imitate tham my previous hotel.Actually I stayed here 12 years ago when it was completely different.However I found the new additions very nice albeit more expensive.

New star is located in Chaweng Noi beach and in my opinion it is the perfect place to stay. In a day time it is not so crowded as big Chaweng and water is more clean. And if you want to go out at night for a party you can take a taxi, tuk-tuk or just walk. Or you can... More

Wow! What a surprise! We absolutely loved this resort. The rooms were huge and with excellent amentities. The pool was amazing and the happy hour is really excellent value ( happens 3 times a day) the beach is fab as well... Much nicer than most of Koh Samui. There's a shuttle service to chaweng but doesn't operate that frequently but... More

Not enough fresh juice selection; they tasted like canned juice. Room was spacious and clean. Bathroom is almost bigger than the bedroom. I find the bridge design in the bathroom a bit dangerous though. We... More

He appeared at best to avoid us for most of our stay, I actually passed him... More

We just spent 6 nights in room 102 beachfont villa. This was luxurious compared to Sunwing Kamala where we had spent the previous 8 nights.It was also more expensive. The staff were all great towards us and especially our 2 yo girl & 4 yo son. Breakfast was good. the danish pastries were hard to resist after having one. Eggs... More

New Star is a pleasant hotel - we stayed in a Palm room which was nicely decorated and large. Pool is large and the best thing about the hotel. Restaurant is ok - Thai food is nice, however western food wasn't great, breakfast was normal asian standard but with nice pastries. We travelled with a 4 year old and a... More
