Perfect one night stay over in Maenam before catching the ferry to Koh PhangAn. Great service. Good Food. Nice prices. Keep the bathroom door closed. The "vent" is a corrugated plastic cover that allows bugs inside. The hotel is a beautiful location off the crazy main road. Plenty of places to eat or drink nearby. Staff is so great and the food is good at the hotel.

Rude Staff & Dishonest Room Descriptions
One of the worst experiences I have had at a resort in Thailand. The staff were extremely rude. The room, which was advertised as a sea view room did not have one. They overcharged for everything. There are too many nice hotels in Koh Samui to entrust your holiday to these dishonest, rude people

quiet location - perfect for some R&R.
Hacienda Beach was great, the beach is beautiful and was nice and quiet during my stay. the staff at Hacienda beach were great and very helpful organising transport around the island and serving great banana pancakes for breakfast. there are a number of great beach side bars and restaurants to be found walking along the beach when you need a break from the sun.

The curtains were falling down, there was no food service of an evening, no room service, aircon was badly situated so you either froze or turned it off and with no ventilation it was awful. A padlock to close your door, the lights went out so quickly you could not see to lock the door with the padlock.. It was the worst "hotel" I have ever stayed in in fact I had better hotels back in the seventies when there was proper customer service..In fact although I had prepaid I could not wait to leave and left the next day. I have travelled since the sixties and visited Samui several times and before there was an airport so my experience has never been as bad as this so called "Hotel". Also they claimed there was a television but there was so much interference you could not see the screen. A real waste of money.

Small hotel on the beach
Picked this one from the Internet. Not as big as I expected from the pictures. Each room is a chalet/bungalow facing small but well kept gardens or the beach. We had 1 of the 2 on the beach, literally step off the porch onto the sand. Staff friendly and helpful, restaurant only open for breakfast and lunch but lots of other restaurants in 5 minute walk. We ate at these other places mostly because they were usually cheaper though the hotel food was good and well presented. We caught the end of the rainy season so some days were a washout and we used the in-room DVD player and the free DVD collection available. No tea/ coffee in the room until we asked and then they supplied a kettle (useful for hot water to shave as well) and cups/saucers but we had to buy tea & coffee from local shop. Very cheap. Only negative was the hard bed.

Wonderful Stay
The Hacienda was exactly what my wife and I were looking for on Koh Samui! Was it a six star luxury resort? No. Was it the perfect combination of some amenities and beach front relaxation...absolutely! The staff at Hacienda were great, helping us with whatever we needed but not intruding too often into our "do nothing" getaway. Our bungalow was right in front of the beach side massage hut, and while we felt like this could have been relocated to a bit of a better location, truthfully those ladies were super nice and gave us a warm good morning each time we left our room. The lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach were perfect and the water helped us cool off whenever the sun got a little intense. We tried a few other places along the beach and were always impressed by the food at Hacienda as well. They had a pineapple fried rice "special" that was AMAZING! Do yourself a favor, even if it isn't on the menu, ask for it. Overall our stay at the Hacienda was excellent and when we come back to Koh Samui, we will definitely stay there again.

Perfect oasis, right on the beach!!
We enjoyed our stay at Hacienda Beach. The bunalows were small, but well appointed. Hot water and water pressure was a plus. The restaurant serves great food, but is only serving until 5pm. They have lounge chairs and massage on the beach. It was a perfect break in our 3 week trip. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Basic and Friendly
The hotel was in a nice location off the beach, however our bungalow was one of the furthest away. The room was very basic and a little bit dated but overall clean. The staff are so friendly and eager to please. We arrived well before check in and they were able to get us into our room early.

Good beach, good cafe next door
Area exactly what we wanted: quiet, relaxing. Amazing beach cafe next door (Chill Out Cafe). Massages on beach: very reasonable. On Thursday nights, the Maenam Walking Street is steps away. The bed pretty much faced the glass door, had to draw the curtains to get privacy. Rooms were a decent size. There was a fridge. Bathroom was basic. Floor got pretty wet when we showered. Shower area was sunken by an inch at most, shower curtain didn't do much to keep water out of the toilet area. Resort very earth-friendly. Key card needed to power in room, toiletries are organic, they only change towels and sheets on request. Service was just OK. Little interaction & they were a bit more stand-offish than we'd experienced elsewhere. Also, I had to use the phone to confirm pickup for the ferry, pretty much got the third degree from the owner. I get they don't want you making overseas calls, but I had shown him the local phone number, should've been enough. No staff at desk before 8AM or after 8PM. Paths not well lit. We ended up carrying a flashlight at night to avoid stepping on snails and millipedes. Good stay and reasonable price. If I return to Koh Samui, will probably stay in Maenam again, but will likely try a different hotel, I'm sure there are others that can offer the same or better experience.

Exceeded expectations, a must stay
This was by far the nicest place on the entire island. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The kitchen was top rate French cuisine for breakfast and lunch. I liked that they do not serve dinner as it gave the staff a break and time to be with family, while we got to experience the neighborhood and restaurants on the beach. We do not recommend Sea One restaurant that is down the beach about 100 meters. Hacienda's beach is gorgeous and quiet. If you want chill, this is it!

Hidden Gem at Maenam beach
I stayed for 6 nights at Hacienda Beach Resort which is nice bungalow with private terrace. It is a beachfront resort where I enjoyed a beautiful white sand beach and turquoise blue sea. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was excellent for a reasonable price. Any kind of food European or Thai, you won’t be disappointed. The room was very clean with comfortable king sized-bed. Free Wi-Fi worked very well in the room. It was so relaxing and peaceful stay with Hacienda Beach Resort. I will surely come back to this place on my next holiday.

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. We wanted to stay in Mae Nam bach away from the crowds in Chaweng and the location was perfect, not too many people but still nice bars and shops around. Breakfast was okay, we preferred to go to the About Cafe closeby instead. Staff was very nice and the hotel beach area was very nice too.

Small, relaxing beach hotel, great food.
The hotel was exactly as hoped; small, private bungalows that were well maintained, clean and fully equipped with everything we needed including great, locally produced shower gel. Amandine at reception was very helpful and friendly and the service staff in the restaurant were excellent, very attentive. We felt the food and wine were a little pricey, but the food was delicious (quiche was amazing) and they had French rose so we were quite happy. I didn't find my lack of French to be a problem at all, although that whole area is very French.

Right on the beach
This hotel couldnt be better placed on a quiet beach. We stayed 3 nights but we had to spend on night in one room and two nights in a much smaller room. There was no tea or coffee facility in the room, nor any shampoo in the shower, just shower gel. There is no facility for food after 5pm, but there are restaurants nearby. That said, it is a nice quiet hotel which I would be happy to return to.

Nice hotel / bungalow's on the beach
Me and a friend stayed here in January. Its a lovely place to stay but probably with a loved on as it was far too quite for us. The bungalows are nice and clean. The only problem was the shower curtain did not keep the water out of the bathroom so every time we showered the bathroom flooded.

Der Chef dieser Unterkunft ist sehr unfreundlich zu seinen Hotelgästen nicht zu seinen Restaurant Gästen... und seine Anlage ist es nicht Wert, nochmals dort hin zu reisen. Den Bungalow Nr. 9 sollten Sie meiden. Im Eck neben dem Bett an der Wand ist Schimmel und der roch auch nicht gut, die Matratze ist eine Federkern bei der man jede Feder spürt, das Badezimmer, ohne Worte sehen sie selber an den Fotos. Wir hatten viel Zeit uns mit anderen Gästen zu unterhalten und ich habe keine kennen gelernt die noch einmal her kommen würde, außer Franzosen. Ab ca. 17:00 Uhr gibt es nichts mehr zu essen und Abends muss man ins Nachbarhotel den dieses Restaurant oder Bar ist geschlossen.... Sie sollten sich diese Anlage genauer anschauen, denn all die Angaben im Internet stimmen nicht wirklich.... Ich bin hier sicher nicht der erste Kunde der diese Anlage so sieht, sehen sie sich mal auf anderen Plattform um und wenn man sich beschwert, hat dieser Chef immer eine Ausrede...bei Ihm sind immer die anderen die blöden....Diese Anlage war mein größter Griff ins Klo....Sorry... Es gib bessere, gleich neben an und noch günstiger....Das Hotel mag ok sein bei 2 Nächten aber wir waren 18 Tage da und wir haben uns nicht wohlgefühlt. Zum Glück ging es danach noch 10 Tage in eine andere Anlage, wir sind oft in Thailand jedes Jahr für 28 Tage aber das war das schlimmste was wir je gesehen haben.Mehr Aufenthaltsdatum: Januar 2020

Mooi gelegen direct aan het strand. We kregen een upgrade naar het huisje direct aan het strand met vol zicht op De zee. Dit was zeer attent aangeboden. De staat van het huisje is wat je mag verwachten voor de prijs. De staat van de handdoeken en stranddoeken en die van het bedhoes waren ondermaats. De handdoeken dienen vernieuwd te worden en de hoeslakens eveneens. Het resort ligt in een rustig deel van Samui.

Kein Paradies, zu teuer, renovierungsbedürftig !!!
5 Tage im Hacienda Beach Garden Bungalow. Ein Low-Season-Angebot, aber dennoch kein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Der Bungalow war schön hinter dem Rezeptionshaus gelegen, privater Zugang vom Parkplatz. Der Bungalow war durch ein Vorhängeschloss gesichert, weil das Türschloss schon länger kaputt zu sein schien. Der Bungalow wirkte recht abgewohnt. Das Zimmer ganz nett, alter Röhrenfernseher und winziger Kühlschrank, winziger Safe. Der kleine Kühlschrank war voll mit Getränken des Hotels zu überteuren Preisen. Eine Flasche Wasser für 50 Baht. Im letzten Hotel das 6er- Pack für 45 Baht. Wir haben alles ausgeräumt und unsere Sachen in den Kühlschrank gestellt. Die Dusche furchtbar, ein Rinnsal Wasser aus dem Duschkopf, ein uralter Halter für die Brause, welcher gleich abfiel. Hier wurde schon jahrelang nicht mehr renoviert. Die Handtücher müffelten jeden Tag nach einmaliger Benutzung. Die Preise auf der Frühstücks- und Abendkarte völlig überteuert fürs Thaifood. Am Strand kam sofort jemand vom Restaurant, der eine Bestellung annehmen wollte. Ein langes Gesicht, als keine Bestellung erfolgte. Nur ein konsumierender Gast ist ein gern gesehener Gast, hatte man den Eindruck. Der Strand ganz nett, aber nicht einer unserer Traumstrände auf Koh Samui. Insgesamt eine mittelmäßige Erfahrung. Wiederkommen werden wir nicht, da bekommt man anderorts viel mehr für sein Geld. Selbstbild und Fremdbild stimmen hier schon lange nicht mehr überein.

Vi boede to nætter på Hacienda Beach. Hotellet består af små bungalow, har sin egen strand og lille restaurant. Overordnet et meget dejligt ophold. Super service fra booking, hvor personalet hurtigt tog kontakt via e-mail og var hjælpsomme med at arrangere transport. Værelserne har en passende størrelse og den lille restaurant har et bredt udvalg af både lokale og primært franske retter. Samtidig har restauranten udsigt over stranden. Vandet på Mae Nam strand er meget dejligt og har en god dybde til at svømme i. Området omkring Hacienda Beach er fyldt med en masse små restauranter og butikker. Et super godt område at tage udgangspunkt fra hvis man vil opleve lidt mere at Samui's nordkyst.
