Sheraton beachfront resort on Ko Samui's quiet Chaweng Noi Beach, set on a tiered hillside with a free-form beachfront pool, Glow Spa and a Star Kids Club for families.
Last updated August 6, 2026
Sheraton Samui Resort is a 141-room, Mediterranean-style property terraced across a lush hillside above Chaweng Noi Beach, a quieter and scenic stretch that many reviewers rate among the island's best swimming beaches and a short drive from busier Chaweng. Independent reviews consistently praise the setting: a free-form beachfront infinity pool, a salt-water garden pool, warm and attentive service from reception through housekeeping, and a generous breakfast buffet with strong Thai and international variety. Families are well served by the Star Kids Club, multiple pools and connecting rooms, while the Glow Spa, 24/7 fitness centre and tennis court round out the amenities. Rooms are spacious with private balconies and ocean or garden views. The honest watch-outs are consistent across sources: the steep, tiered layout means plenty of stairs and slopes, with guests relying on golf-cart buggies to reach the beach, pools and restaurants; rooms and bathrooms feel dated and are awaiting a major renovation; and restaurant dining is seen as pricey and less impressive than breakfast. Elite and lounge touches, such as complimentary lounge check-in, are noted but modest. Overall it reads as a relaxed, family-friendly beach resort with a standout location and service, best suited to travellers who value a quiet beach over polished, contemporary interiors.

Mixed first-person stay: praises the beach, beachfront pool and lounge check-in, but flags weak breakfast, service slips, shower and maintenance issues after a recent rebrand.

Find out more about Sheraton Samui Resort
The resort is roughly 9 kilometres from Samui International Airport (USM), about a 15-minute drive. It sits on Chaweng Noi Beach, around a five-minute drive south of the busier Chaweng Beach district, making it convenient yet noticeably quieter than central Chaweng.
Yes. The resort offers a Star Kids Club with indoor and outdoor play areas, multiple pools including a beachfront infinity pool and a salt-water garden pool, connecting rooms and a calm, safe beach. Golf-cart buggies help families move around the large hillside property with young children.
The property is terraced across a hillside above the beach, so reaching the beach, pools and restaurants can involve stairs and slopes. Complimentary golf-cart buggies run throughout the resort, but guests with mobility limitations should request a room located closer to the facilities they plan to use.
