We had a perfect stay, staff were amazing, the villa is stunning as is the pool and beach with crystal clear waters, around the grounds of the hotel there’s so many spots to pick to sit and chill out for the afternoon or evening :) we loved our stay and would definitely recommend

We recently enjoyed a serene stay at the Beach Republic Hotel in Koh Samui. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the breathtaking beach, offering stunning views. However, due to shallow waters and rocks, swimming might not be ideal. Situated on the quieter side of Lamai, the hotel provides a peaceful escape. A 25-minute walk to the town center offers convenience and tranquility. While not providing 5-star service, the beachside cafe boasts a staff dedicated to accommodating guests. The hotel's vibe was incredibly chill at the beach and within its premises. The small but convenient pool and daily yoga classes with the famous "Yoga with Mike" added to the relaxed atmosphere. Opting for a club room, we were pleased with the spacious and comfortable accommodation. Despite minor imperfections, Beach Republic Hotel offers a delightful retreat for those seeking a laid-back experience on the beautiful island of Koh Samui.

Very very impressive
Very very impressed with the Beach Republic, it's at the quieter end of Lemai Beach but within easy reach. The room was superb and modern and spacious, plus a great breakfast every morning. The staff were so friendly and helpful and helped arrange motorbike hire and taxis etc.

I am beyond disappointed in my booking with Expedia. I specifically asked for a room facing the ocean and ocean views and a bath and I received neither. I spoke to someone on the phone who assured me that that is what I was booked for. This hotel only has two very expensive penthouse suites with ocean glimpses!! The advertising the reviews and the website are totally misleading. I was put in a room close to the main road with a transformer station right outside the window. It took 3 days to be moved at further expense that I was not anticipating. This was the first holiday I have taken for over 12yrs. My experience was not pleasant at all!!

Very sad to read through your comment and our service not met your expectation. Non of our room facing the ocean view even the penthouse room. Most of our guests always say our resort has stunning view from the beach and pool but not from room. We never advertise in our website regarding room with ocean view. Hope you will give us another chance to return Beach Republic then we will make sure your stay with us will be smooth and enjoyable.

The breakfast has many choices of food. The staff is friendly. The yoga classes was very enjoyable. The instructors was very encouraging and kind. I really enjoyed Anne and Bowie. Their communication between departments needs some standardization. The staff was really great and super nice. They are all working very hard to make the guests comfortable.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful especially food and beverage and housekeeping staff. Loved my room. loved general ambience of hotel, laid back and cool, not necessarily cheapest but if you need Rest & Relaxation or a honey moon then consider here.

Beside the beauty of Samui itself and all the facilities Baech Republic offers its the staff who is waaaay above any guest expectations. They are friendly - of course - who isn’t in Thailand - but they are super professional on solving any problems under all circumstances. I will definitely come back with them

Great resort for families
We were welcomed with drinks and an introduction from the new GM, both a very nice touch. Every single one of the staff members were friendly and helpful and made our week-long stay at Beach Republic memorable. The breakfast is fantastic and the Sunday brunch can't be missed. Food at the restaurant is of international standard (albeit a bit pricy compared to the next door restaurant offering traditional Thai food) and the service is impeccable. The one bedroom unit was perfect for our family of 4 (two kids -2.5years and 4months), plenty of space to let the kids nap while we relaxed in the lounge or on the deck. Great pools, all 3, with the kids pool off to the side which is nice to not feel like you're bothering other guests with splashing etc. Loved the many cabana options, one always seemed to be available and the outlook to the beach was spectacular. Highly recommend this resort!!

Friendly and helpful staff. Location was great and close to a mini mart and number of restaurants. Shuttle bar to Lamai and Chaweng was handy. Our room was huge, although there was a number of maintenance issues for the room that were required whilst we were staying - air con did not work & it took over 24 hours to get fixed. Sliding door did not close properly and would not lock (and was not fixed during our stay even though staff were advised on day of arrival), jacuzzi on balcony did not work & bins in room were not emptied twice during our stay. Beach was a bit of a disappointment as it was rocky and sludgy sand below the water so was not ideal for swimming. Choice at breakfast buffet was limited compared to other resorts we stayed at on our SE Asia holiday. The cooked food sat in heating trays and eventually went hard and was unedible.

Had a great time at the hotel with my wife and 9 year old daughter. The hotel is child / family friendly and in a secluded part of the Lamai beach area. The best part of the experience (other than the great pools and food) is the very friendly and helpful staff...they go beyond to assist you

Beautiful facility
It’s stunning and the breakfast is amazing. Only complaint is they try to rush you out of the room early and they rip you off on their taxi service and charge you more on in room charges. Example the sheet said orange juice 55 baht and all of sudden reception is charging 65 baht. So I can’t imagine what they would do if you enjoyed the bigger ticket items in the room. Walk to street and negotiate with a taxi for better rate to airport or anywhere. If going to airport do not pay more then 400 baht.

Wonderful stay at the Beach Republic. Service is great, we were nicely surprised with the boxed breakfast prepared for us for our very early departure! The location has a nice beach massage and restaurant close by as well. Will definitely come again next time. Didn't get to enjoy the pool in the room cos it's too cold when we got back in the evenings... Oh.. And thanks for the bubbly and cupcakes for our honeymoon too

Very good but noisy.
Beach Republic is a very nice place to stay. Our room was bigger than expected, and very clean. The staff were always smiling and very helpful. The location is good, being next to the beach, but quite a long, although very pleasant walk into Lamai town. The only thing we wern't too happy about was the loud music that was played every afternoon around the pool. Other than that, It is a very good choice for a beach holiday.

Nice hotel but but tiref
Sadly we were unaware that the restaurant and swimming pool were not in the pool complex but a short walk away . Not really suited for those with mobility issues as lots of steps and incline to and from restaurant etc. The swimming pool and restaurants are a bit tired and loud music plays most of the time. Only go here if you like a party atmosphere. Sunday’s were like party season with booming music all day and lots of off-site visitors purchasing tickets to come to the Brunch all day special. Close to some lovely restaurants and a taxi ride away from the markets. Sadly not for us.
