Full of charm in a peaceful tropical setting with such lovely warm staff. Room spacious and had all you need. Great views and fab Thai food. Would definitely return and recommend. I thought it was good value for money. One warning - be sure to go to the Ao Prao Pier (specifically for guests of Samed Resorts) when you are on your way, as if the taxi driver doesn’t know this, he might take you to the wrong (super busy) general pier where you get hustled into buying probably the wrong boat transfer!

Was the perfect spot to unwind after a crazy few days in Bangkok. Beautiful quiet beach. You don’t even have to leave the resort as there is a few restaurants on the strip to choose from. But if you did want to you can easily take a taxi into the township where there is so much to explore. Note Ao Prao also has its own private speed boat & pier to arrive on.

Most Needed Peace & Quiet
It suited us the most because we’ve much needed peace & quite. The location is not for party animals, however it’s not far from all the action areas where you need a taxi & front desk would be happy to help. All staffs were willing to help. There were 2 individuals stood out the most were Izzy & note. The weather was so good without any rain. The resort is on the west side of the island and you can enjoy beautiful sunsets almost everyday. This is the driest part of Thailand even on raining season. We are already planning to go back next year.

We had a wonderful time in Au Prao. The setting was lovely, the sea was great for swimming, and we loved Teddy singing in the evenings.

Covid leadership missing from one staff member.
Generally an excellent place. Room was comfortable and spotless. Restaurants were excellent. Only complaint was with regards to the restaurant manager. All the staff were very good wearing masks except the manager. He stood at entrance to restaurant every night with his old used mask hanging off his chin leaning into the faces of patrons. Sets a very bad example for his staff and upsetting for guests.

Quiet and clean beach on the west side of Koh Samet. There are only three resorts on Ao Prao Beach - Le Vimarn and Ao Prao Resorts are managed by the same company and CoCo Lima in between. Although it had a full occupancy during our stay, we never felt crowded/rushed. The resort is spacious and there are enough sun beds for everyone.
We were already checked in their own special pier - so smooth with transfers and our car, which was parked in the pier, was well looked after. Staff were very attentive, efficient and helpful.
Complimentary breakfast served a variety of international and Thai dishes - soup options were especially great. We had BBQ dinner, which was not bad, but not so impressive either. We also had one Italian dinner at "O" restaurant in Le Vimarn, which served very good pizza and risotto.
We got a deluxe hillside room. Probably because I asked for a quiet room, our room was at the end of the resort. It was a bit of climb, so in case you have a problem in mobility, it's better to get one of the beach cottages..
It was a pleasant stay and we will definitely go back.
