Booked this place for 8 night. A big mistake. We had a superior room which was grotty. We moved to a VIP room which was even worse. The only difference was that it cost 1000 baht more. Small dark a dingy. The breakfast was the worst I have ever had. No cereals, bacon was chronic, cold sausage, one juice orange... More

We were Koh Samet during the peak season and we were able to book this hotel last minute while all other hotels were fully booked. The hotel is in good location as it is just beside the Cabana and the beach just right in front. The beach is beatiful and many water activities, pretty suitable for family and couples. Well,...

We frequent Ao Vong Duern quite regularly but this was our first time at Malibu as there wasn't anywhere else. Booking the room via email was pretty painless but once we got to the resort the service went downhill. Check in was very slow then it turned out none of the rooms were ready (we arrived after 2pm), some of... More

First: we did not stay here. Hunting for a place to stay we asked the staff for vacancies. An icky guy after some negotiation agreed to "have a look", which took 10 minutes just to say they are full. Unfortunately we had to go with their boat twice to Ban Phe. In both cases they demanded additional payment regardless to... More

We booked this resort in their Pattaya offices for 4 nights. This turned out to be a mistake, we should have listened to friends that told us to just go to Samet without booking and look around first. Malibu is a tour operator and you are then kind of stuck at their resort which is far from the popular White... More

Samet Island Tour Company made all the arrangements for our two night trip from Pattaya, This included minibus, ferry and accomodation at their Malibu Garden resort. The resort is very well positioned on the white sand Vongduan beach, It is obvious that the establishment has seen better days. The superior rooms are small and dark with the minimum of basic...
