I was looking for a quiet and relaxed place in the trees where I wouldn't hear any construction noise or traffic and thats exactly what this place was. You can feel like you're in nature and you're only a 15 minute scooter ride to Lamai where you'll find heaps of late night bars and restaurants. The management and staff were very accomodating and friendly. My room's AC was more than adequate to quickly cool the place down to any temperature. I liked that the rooms had a fridge and kitchen with dishes and knives and things so you can cut up your own fruit. Restaurant was also great. Rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were very comfy, I slept like a baby. No bad insect problems considering you're surrounded by wilderness (practically no ants and very few mosquitos). Pool was nice and clean. Free cold drinking water is also provided to guests which is great. If you stay here and wish to venture out of the property I highly recommend hiring a scooter as you'll be a little far to walk to places.

While the beds were great, the rooms would benefit from some minor renovations. ie. shelving in bathroom, brighter lights in bathroom, and a light switch or lamp + outlets that are accessible from the bed. Other than that it was a very comfortable place and great value. I would highly recommend.

Bungalows were very nice and we loved sitting out on the balcony listening to the nature around us. Pool was great and mostly quiet. We only ate breakfast in the restaurant but it was good on both occasions. Moped rental was perfect with no issues at all. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Cool bar on the beach is within walking distance and was perfect.

The resort is located on the quiet (south) side of the island, and we found the grabs/taxis to be more expensive than other places in Thailand. This could be quite difficult if you’re unable to ride mopeds & the nearest 7/11 was about a 15 minute walk. Rooms could’ve done with a clean mid-stay & maybe a couple of more sun beds around the pool.

Really enjoyed the place, amazing and quiet location. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, staff really helpful. Superb food in the restaurant! Kids loved the salty swimming pool (now, few more weeks on the road, they still miss it). It's away from the noise and parties, that's why we loved it. There's a beach in walking distance. Everything was clean, there's water in the reception for refill at any time. The facilities are being improved, so looking forward to seeing it in the future :⁠-⁠)

Some apartments are really difficult to access - steep stairs (but then the sea view is amazing). Had some issues with dogs hanging around - especially for kids not pleasant experience.

Che and Martina, the owners are very engaging and helpful. A big site with lots of room, meaning rooms are not on top of each other. Good sized pool with natural shade from Coco trees. Restaurant where the owners are hands on, think they are or were both chefs, not surprisingly the food hits the mark. Close, a few hundred mts from a great but quiet beach. Value for money. The location is in the South of Samui, which in my opinion is the more beautiful part of the island. If you want nightlife, bars, boom-boom the South doesn't have. However if you want the Samui of old, quiet and chilled then Paw Paw and surrounding area is the place.

Maybe extra hanging space or set of drawers for clothes.

The hotel restaurant far exceeded our expectations. We shared a few appetizers and then had Thai-style burgers — the best food we’ve had so far during our two-plus weeks in Thailand. A fine-dining-like experience at a price comparable to simpler, basic Thai eateries. We’re already looking forward to eating here again tomorrow. Room, pool, etc. — everything was very clean, pleasant, and well-maintained. If you stay here, be prepared to be a bit farther from the 7-Elevens and similar places than you might be used to if you’ve stayed right in the middle of e.g. Chaweng. The pool area is much nicer to hang out in than the beach, although the beach is close by (it’s shallow and not nearly as swim-friendly as, for example, Chaweng). A cozy place well worth a visit if you appreciate a beautiful garden, a nice pool area, hillside bungalows, and an excellent hotel restaurant, given the price.

This was my second stay with Paw Paw Resort, spending another month with them, visiting friends on the island. I absolutely love staying here. The location, on the South East of the island is perfect. Their restaurant serves really delicious food and the beach is a short stroll away. The bungalow was spotless and their staff, whether housekeeping or gardeners are constantly keeping the resort clean and tidy. I'll be back again!

I can't think of a negative... There simply wasn't one.

The bungalows were really big and very clean. I liked the calmness, it really felt like a comfortable retreat. The owner and the staff are very kind and super talkative, as a lone traveller you definitively don't feel lonely there. The restaurant at the resort is also a great choice to dine in. The food is very well done and it has its own lovely touch, which makes it really special. It is convenient if you can ride a bike, but even without, using grab made it easy to get around.

Very friendly staff, great pool for kids, quiet beach closeby with a bar, nice bungalows, stable wifi, free refill water, free parking, quiet area of the island

Housekeeping on demand worked more or less, could be a bit improved. There are no hooks to hang up shower towels inside. The curtains do not block the light entirely, so if you need darkness to sleep, you’ll have to bring a sleeping mask.

Truly amazing customer service. Michal went out of his way to help us out & make our stay comfortable. The chilled setting & lovely pool were a lovely escape from the business found elsewhere in Koh Samui. The free water refills and recycling onsite demonstrated an environmental consciousness not obvious most other places. The onsite restaurant also had delicious Thai fusion food.

The shower pressure wasn’t great

The location is very nice, the atmosphere is very relaxing. I stayed just for one night and am a bit sad about this - didn't have a chance to check out the pool and the restaurant for breakfast/dinner. The bar at the beach was also closed that day :( The beach is very nice btw. The owners were super friendly in the messages here on Booking prior to my arrival, and the staff on site were so too. I've been allowed to do an early check-in. Would be happy to come back for a longer stay.

The wi-fi signal was not so good. Humidity / mosquitoes in the room.
