My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic look of the entire resort and how it is nothing like any resort/hotel we’ve ever stayed. Although its location is not “close” to restaurants, shopping, the beach, etc., they are within 10-20 minutes walking distance. The photos shown on different sites do not capture what you will experience when you are there. I would highly recommend this resort!!!

Absolutely beautiful experience, very old school Samui. You could spend hours looking at the art all over the resort. Pool was refreshing with a view over the water. Bit of a walk to the beach or Lamai, this place is best enjoyed with a rental car or scooter. Rooms a bit rustic but it adds to vibe.

Glastonbury in Thailand

This was perfect for us.... we felt very much at home here. It's a little rough around the edges in places but we stayed in shiny resorts that were stale and pomp. Lovely friendly staff. Great to see children enjoying themselves not on screens. Impossible to see all the artwork, every day we'd see something new. We would definitely come back here.

Whimsical Getaway

This resort is absolutely magical! It felt like a whimsical garden of Eden. The staff were amazing and super nice. They helped us rent scooters, book excursions and massages, and even personally drove us to the pier on our last day. Breakfast was good, and one of the resort dogs is a sweetheart! He would come and greet me every time we returned on our scooters. The family suite has an amazing view and porch to relax on. Since it’s a rustic room I expected to see a lot of bugs and geckos but it was super clean and bug free. The only thing that could improve was the beds were pretty firm. Overall I highly recommend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Hyggelig hotell - uforglemmelig i positiv forstand

Dette er et hyggelig sted med god stemning. De som jobber der er vennlige. Vi har reist rundt forskjellige steder på Koh Samui og det var fint å komme til hit. Bassenget er ok, utsikten veldig flott, interiøret er spesielt, men det funker på sitt vis, og bidrar til den gode stemningen.

Go for the charm, not for the comfort

A very charming hotel, so many cute details and lovely, helpful staff. A very nice guy helped us with a gekko in our room. Generally, wonderful sorroundings, but the rooms really lacked comfort, and I wish most of the attention to detail would have been spend on making the rooms nice, especially in this heat, your hotel room is your place for relaxing and cooling down. The room had barely any water in the shower, bad aircondition and doors and windows that couldn’t fully close, so easy access for unwanted animals, and the room was always way to hot.

My family and me stayed for two weeks in a family home in the Varinda Garden. The Varinda Garden is one of the most beautiful and lovely resorts on the island, so unique and artistic. We have never been to such a special place before. The Garden is perfect for children with a great pool and lots of other things to discover. We had a very clean and comfortable family house with an astonishing sea view. The food and the breakfast was very delicous and also beautiful and healthy. The Garden is run by a family which is very friendly and lovely. At every time there was someone you could talk to and get usefull information about the island. This is a place for the esthetic eye. Even on our last day, we spottet details we hadn't recognized before. The beach, a supermarket and the Lamai main street are nearby, everything reachable within 5 minutes. If you want to have a special holiday with memories and pictures for your life, we highly recommend you this awesome place. Best regards to the Varinda Garden Family and Staff and thank you for all the special, nice things.

A hidden gem not far from Lamai beach

What a lovely resort this is. I enjoyed my 6 days here, I should have stayed much longer! The owners are very sweet and make you feel at home. There is something very colorful and peaceful (a lot of wonderful Buddha quotes) about this place. Lots of birds and butterflies. I had a basic cottage which was all I needed. Breakfast was great as well. I will definitely come back!
