Nestled on a stunning beachfront, SALA Samui Choengmon Beach Resort is celebrated for its spacious and immaculately clean rooms adorned with traditional Thai decor and modern touches.

We loved spending our honeymoon at the Sala in Choengmon in one of the pool villas. I was initially a little hesitant about the outdoor bathroom because I was concerned about bugs or critters; however, the cleaning staff went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was incredibly relaxing (and bug-free!!). While I was nervous the first night, I've never been more comfortable in a space that wasn't our home.
The SALA is very relaxing and has many private spaces for couples to explore and take time to disconnect together. We loved the nightly turndown service where our very friendly cleaning staff would light incense cones and bring a different nighttime tea. The Spa was also a highlight of our trip: in our one hour experience, we both fell asleep from how relaxing the experience was. The SALA is also in a great location for Choengmon Beach (and on Samui itself)- there are ample restaurants and cafes in the area, and we quickly filled up our week without trying. We loved taking morning walks on the beach and then dipping in our private pool. The programming at the Sala is also so lovely- from the movie nights on the beach to the happy hours and special dinner events, there's always an activity at the Sala.
From James the friendly driver to Smile, Jew, and Bee at the restaurant, the spa staff, the thoughtful security officers are warm and ask specific questions about your day, the staff is all very accommodating and kind. They make a point to make a connection with you during your visit. In particular, Bee was so kind with taking so many pictures of us and making sure that our private dinner under the stars was a special experience for us. We had a lot of questions about Thai culture, and she was so gracious and kind with answering our questions and making us feel so welcomed. Overall, our week at the SALA was truly the best vacation we’ve ever taken and we cannot wait to return soon!

My advice is, don’t go to Sala Cheongmon. You will be addicted forever. From the moment you arrive, the reception staff welcome you with professional, friendly true warmth. The gardeners, greet you every time you pass by whilst they are making the place immaculate. The housekeeping team make the room perfect in the morning and time down service always leaving subtle touches that give you the special treatment. The restaurant team is the friendliest team on the planet. The food is fresh, the atmosphere around the restaurant is just gorgeous and they ply you with the most delicious food and drinks. Our breakfast lasted hours because we didn’t want to leave. The view from the restaurant overlooking the pool or the beach, both are equally perfect. Two pools, one for kids and one for couples! The pool team make sure you are hydrated with cold water… you don’t have to ask, if you want alcohol or food they are at your service. The beach is perfect, the walk back to the room is perfect. The rooms are perfect.
We are addicted to Sala. We have stayed at Cheongmon twice now and Phuket once. We wouldn’t chance it anywhere else. Sala just delivers. Thank you Wee, Ohm and your entire team.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We stayed at Sala Samui for 8 nights. It clearly exceeded our expectations. The friendliness and warmth of the staff - especially in the restaurant area - is hard to beat. The quality of the food is also really good and you have a very nice seat near the beach. The breakfast was better and more pleasant than in most other very good hotels (e.g. Santiburi) that we have stayed in before. In addition to the already extensive breakfast buffet, you can also order food from a menu for free. We also ate dinner at Sala several times. The prices there are higher than outside the hotel, but the quality of the food and the pleasant atmosphere justify the extra cost. The room cleaning was also not to be criticized and usually took place while we were having breakfast. The pools - especially the adult pool - are very stylish and well done. There are stones in the sea directly in front of the hotel - bathing shoes are absolutely necessary here. However, about 50 - 100 meters to the right of the hotel you can easily go into the sea without bathing shoes in soft sand. If there is one thing to complain about, it is the air conditioning in the room, which is a bit loud even on the lowest setting. We are absolutely delighted with the Sala Samui Choengmon and will definitely come back. Even after our first stay, it somehow feels like home.

We stayed at Sala Samui Choengmon for 10 dreamy days. The hotel is splendid and very well maintained. The rooms are cleaned daily and you are welcomed every evening when you return to your room with excellent homemade tea (always different!). The staff is extremely warm, welcoming and extraordinarily available. It's simple, nothing is a problem! We were pampered!
Baifern, the Tour Operator who works in the hotel, organized amazing tours for us! A big thank you to you for your kindness and your involvement in your work. You saved our scuba diving day... and always cared about our well-being. You don't just manage our needs, you anticipate them! Your role is not just about organizing our adventures.
You are like a guardian angel!
Well done!

We spent 14 unforgettable days in this dreamlike hotel, which is located in an equally breathtaking setting. Particularly outstanding is the exceptional staff who do everything possible to satisfy every wish of the guests. A special thanks goes to Oom, Nuch, Pen, Noom, Pui, Kunzer, Poi and Bancha – the friendliest security guard we have ever met.
We have visited many great hotels worldwide, but what makes this hotel so unique is the team. From dawn to dusk, everyone tries tirelessly to read their wishes from their eyes. They are warm, attentive and at the same time pleasantly unobtrusive. The friendliness always seems authentic and not put on.
Breakfast was simply sensational – a perfect mix of buffet and à la carte. Everything freshly prepared and of the highest quality.
We had a room with private pool, the partially outdoor bathroom was a special highlight. Cleanliness is a top priority here, and you feel comfortable throughout.
From the beginning you feel welcome as if you are with good friends.
The hotel is a true haven of peace – a small paradise on earth. We have recovered fantastically and will definitely come back.

I stayed the second time in samui with my wife and this time we chose the sala samui. We were really happy with our choice. Our stay was perfect and outstanding. Beginning with the rooms, we had a double room with a big terrazza with a big couch where we always relaxed after a day at the pool or the beach area. The whole complex is very looked after and also very silent..you do not get disturbed by anything around you. Also the breakfast was extraordinary with a menu card an excellent choices of food.. if our time permits we will come next year, because this is how you want to be treated as a guest and as a couple.

We had a wonderful stay at Sala Choengmon. We stayed for a week at the beginning of June. This was our furst time with Sala property and to behonest we are a huge fan now! Service was great, food was delicious, too bad buffet breakfast didn’t had a large variety next to the a la carte, but I’m sure if you want something which wasn’t there they will provide it. We had the balcony room, there is a huge day bed on the balcony, me and my husband even fell asleep on the balcony, it was so peaceful and comfortable. One minor thing to improve is the sun bed by the pool. There are several cabana available around the adult pool, however we only could use it for one time. They were all reserve by towels… we were observing the situation during the breakfast in the morning and saw people putting towels on it and went to breakfast. This is very annoying as normally we see these things happend in Europe and not Thailand, to be honest, this was the first time we experience this in Thailand. So in my opinion this should be improved and perhaps more strict. Overall we fell in love with Sala property and will explore other Sala properties as well.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 10 night stay at Sala Samui Chaongmon Beach Hotel and we’ve been raving about the hotel to our friends and family since we’ve been home and we’re ready hoping that we can return next year. As soon as we arrived we experienced the 5* level of service from the hotel. We were tired as our flight from UK had been delayed, missed our connecting flight to Koh Samui, so rather than arriving around 6pm it was 10pm. Plus one piece of luggage had been left at Heathrow. But as soon as we were shown to our pool villa, all that tiredness and despondency evaporated, I audibly heard my husband gasp as we entered our room, which was in fact the private pool area, with covered day bed, and two loungers, and a really sizeable pool. It looked superb especially at night with the outside lighting. The outside bathroom was amazing, separate bath to shower, which was an outside shower, with two shower heads. The bedroom was really good size, the bed we found to be really comfortable and there is a pillow menu. There is aircon in the room plus an over head fan if you prefer not to have the aircon running. The toiletries were really nice, you can choose your aroma before you arrive at the hotel. Breakfast is fantastic, a huge choice, with a large buffet, and also made to order breakfast items. The restaurant for lunch/dinner was also excellent and highly recommended. If you want to eat out there is loads of choice within in walking distance from the hotel, either along the beach or main high street. There are two pools, one for family’s, or a beautiful, salt water pool for adults only. Plus there is the beach with loungers and parasols, with beach attendants looking after you with free water or bar service. We loved the fresh coconuts. We used the spa for three massage treatments and they were amazing and the treatment rooms are beautiful. Well worth a visit. All the hotel staff were so professional, and friendly, anything requested regarding the room was seen to immediately.

Being a returning guest after post COVID, i am still surprisingly amazed by their services and the resort facilities. Seems that there is just too little time for us to discover all the goodies that the resort has install for us.
Their breakfast was simply a spoil for choice. They have very good spread of buffet AND top it up with a ala cart menu that you can order. Those items that you order from the ala cart menu are being cook individually where you can request to customize the cooking style to your preference. One of my son’s favorites is the Egg Benedict with extra smoke salmon. My favorites were the Thai style omelet where I request to have additional eggs but less rice.
The setting and the location of the unit we had was just so relaxing that I just want to lay beside our private swimming pool enjoy the sea breeze & sound of the waves beating on the beach. The ambient is just so comfortable that you wouldn’t want to leave the resort. Besides the quality of the food is just so great and the that ordering a room service seems to be the only sensible option for us.
Roaming around the resort meeting the team from the front desk, housekeeping, dining, spa to the security guards were always so pleasant. They always greet us with a very sincere smile. Those smiles just make us felt so welcome and easy throughout our stay.
Once the sun sets, we enjoyed the dinner by beach on one of the day & a movie night by the beach on another evening. Both were really an enjoyable event for family bonding.
Overall, it’s an awesome experience for me & my family. Special thanks to WEE for his patience in helping us to facilitate so many requests during our stay.
Kudos to the Sala Choengmon team.

We’ve not been there in February but we would assume it would be similar to when we stayed. Wouldn’t say we found it bustling, it’s usually too warm, most people relax or walk earlier in the morning. They have day beds around the main adult pool and they also put lounges out along the beach. July and August are the busy times for tourists.
