Garrya Tongsai Bay is a five-star luxury resort in Koh Samui that offers a relaxing experience from the moment you check in. The service is excellent, and you’ll feel well taken care of throughout your stay.
Rooms & Facilities:
The rooms are well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. However, the property is quite hilly, which might not be ideal for elderly guests or those with mobility issues.
Pools:
There are two pools on the property: a large main pool and a kiddie pool right by the beach, perfect for families. A second, more secluded pool—called the Half Moon Pool—is tucked away behind the kids club and is reserved for adults seeking a peaceful escape.
Breakfast:
Breakfast is a highlight, featuring fresh juices, seasonal fruits, a good balance of Thai and Western dishes, quality coffee and tea selections, and tasty pastries. The downside? The hash browns and sausages were a bit underwhelming.
Dining:
Meals are priced around 300–700 baht per dish. The taste can be hit or miss—while the burger was surprisingly good, some Thai dishes were just average. A great tip: visit during happy hour (6–7 PM daily) to enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free drink offer.
Beach & Location:
Don’t expect soft sandy beaches—this one is made up of coarse, rocky sand, so wearing shoes is recommended. The location is a bit remote, but the resort offers limited shuttle service to nearby Choeng Mon town.
Spa & Kids Club:
My husband tried the 90-minute signature massage and found it just okay, especially for the price. On the plus side, the kids club accepts children aged 5 and above without supervision—super helpful for parents looking to unwind.
Verdict: Met my expectation for 5 stars resort.
Garrya Tongsai Bay is perfect for travelers seeking peace, comfort, and attentive service. It’s great for couples or families—just be prepared for a bit of uphill walking.
