Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Buddy Oriental Samui Beach Resort creates the ambience of cultured elegance and dreamy nostalgia as it welcomes guests. It combines the truly unique concept of both Colonial style luxury and tropical seaside resort. Revive images of living by the sea in olden times, when life is slow and peaceful and dwellings are airy against the backdrop of quiet sea. A stay at this residence is such a happy combination of the old and new as one comes to experience the joys of the beach in the world today and the sentimental yearning for a return to the past as craved by many. Distinctively the best of both worlds can only happen at Buddy Oriental Samui Beach Resort, on the beautiful beach of Lamai, Koh Samui. ... more less

“Fantastic hotel in covenient location”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

My wife and I first stayed at Buddys Samui some three years ago as she often visits Spa Samui on Lamai beach for health cleanses. We were delighted with a junior suite room at Buddys at the time and so selected the same type of room again. The hotel itself is pretty big but refreshingly so are the rooms –... More

“Fantastic value, beautiful rooms and great service!”

My wife and I are currently staying at the Buddy Oriental for two weeks, and are absolutely loving it. 1. Breakfast is good (not great) - loads of fresh fruit, a good egg station and a different selection of hot foods each day...but I've seen more variety. 2. Chom Lay restaurant is right on the beach, and serves delicious food,... More

“Great hotel - awesome value - nice quiet location”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

We stayed at the Buddy Oriental for 3 nights in April. We booked the place because of the good TA reviews and the location which is at the quieter end of Lamai Beach. The hotel is huge and is constructed in 19th century colonial style - the main buildings kind of reminded me af Raffles in Singapore. We booked a... More
