They catered for my gluten-free needs with specialty breads, and had so much food on offer, we were stuffed! This was my favorite meal on the island - great value considering the location and the amount of food provided.” view full review

My stay at The Library in Koh Samui was fantastic, with its unique book-themed design making for a memorable experience. The staff were warm and inviting, making you feel right at home. The room was modern and spacious, and the beautiful red pool was a highlight. However, the check-in process was a bit delayed, and the room temperature was too cold after room service. Overall, a magical experience that I would love to repeat!
