    During my recent business trip to Koh Samui, I had the pleasure of staying at the First Residence Hotel - Sha Plus, which was chosen by my director. The hotel's peaceful atmosphere immediately set the tone for a relaxing and productive stay. I was particularly impressed with the range of recreational facilities available, such as the outdoor pool, massage services, solarium, and pool area. There were plenty of comfortable and inviting sun beds provided, allowing me to unwind and soak up the sun after a busy day of meetings. The ambiance created by these facilities truly enhanced my overall experience at the First Residence Hotel - Sha Plus.

    While my stay at the First Residence Hotel - Sha Plus was excellent overall, there was one minor issue that I encountered.

    My perfect stay at First Residence Hotel - Sha Plus was made even better by the ideal location. It was just a short walk to the beautiful Chaweng beach, where I could relax on the beach chairs available for hotel guests. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The room was spacious and clean, and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. While the breakfast selection could have been better, it had enough options to satisfy my hunger. I also appreciated the reliable and free WiFi throughout the hotel. I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel.

    It's a good hotel for the price. Some of the staff are very friendly.

    No wifi in certain rooms, only those facing the pool seem to have that.

    I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was ideal, being on the outskirts of Chawengi meant it was in a quiet area, but still only a short 5-minute walk to Chaweng Noi beach. The staff here were friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had a lovely balcony with a great view. It was also a nice touch that breakfast was included in our rate, with a good selection of food to choose from.

    All aspects of my stay at this hotel were great, I couldn't find anything to fault.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The value for money was excellent, as the prices were very reasonable for the quality of accommodation. The staff were attentive and the service was top-notch. The location was perfect, with the hotel being in a quiet area on the outskirts of Chaweng, but still only a 5-minute walk to the beautiful beach. The rooms were clean and spacious, with two large king-sized beds and a balcony. The air conditioning worked well, ensuring a comfortable stay. Plus, the breakfast was included in our rate, providing a great start to each day.

    Everything was more than okay, I couldn't ask for more.

    The room was spacious and had all necessary amenities. The location was convenient, close to restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed the free internet access in the lobby.

    We experienced some suspicious activity during our stay. We suspected that someone may have entered our room while we were out and went through our belongings.

    Nice hotel, situated at the south of Chaweng Beach: far enough to avoid the noisy area, but close enough to walk. The beach is at 5 minutes walk, however you should also go to try the beaches from Lamai. The room was big and clean, with a decent balcony. As they promised, the staff provided daily drinking water, coffee and tea (to do it yourself) for free. The breakfast was delicious (if I remember well, i had a fried egg, ham, fresh juice, toast with butter and jam, fresh fruits: papaya and watermelon). The wifi wasn't free in the room, but they had 3 PCs at the reception with free internet access (usable up to 23 o clock). The swimming pool was clean and we swam a couple of times, but the don't have (or turn on) the jacuzzi as I though they will.

    The bathroom was modern, but not really new (there where chalk stains on the sink, the shower was a little rusty), however it was nice and clean. The water temperature changed sometimes during the shower from warm to cold, but this happened to me at almost all hotels in Thailand.

    The First Residence Hotel in Koh Samui was fantastic. The location was excellent, just 3 km from the Chaweng beach nightlife. The swimming pool was nice and the staff were very helpful. We also enjoyed the convenience of having access to their sister hotel's private beach, which was only 500 meters away. a great experience.

    Everything was fantastic.
